The Whigs and the Presidency

Or all the resorts and stratagems, for novelty and ridicuiousness, the ones which the whg party arc now attempting to play to defeat the democracy, caps any here- toiorc attempted. Knowing well, as they do, that it will be an impossbility for them to succeed with any statesman or man who has heretofore been known as a whig, they are determined to resort to their for mcr tricks in the way of humbugging the people of the Union, and particularly them of the South, into the support of General Taylor. Knowing too, that an intelligent" people will never fall into the support of principles and measures so anti-rcpublican, and anti American fraught with ruin and destruction to free institu- tions, if carried out, and of necessity they must start at some new humbuggery to catch the votes of the minimizing to aid that party, composed at this time of the flag ends of all parties, to power. and to defeat democratic and republican measures.- They well know that success would never crown their pcrfdiousness, if they were to place themselves in fair and open field, for a political battle; they must shield themselves under another pe,ticoat,
 as they did in the ascension of Gen. Har- rison) in the lauding of Gen. Taylor, and running him for the Presidency. Any thing, now, with them, to defeat the De- mocracy. It is not principles they arc contending for. Oh no! Defeat and the ascendency to power of demagogues, is now the watchword. They look to the nomination by the Democracy of any man south of "Mason and Dickson's line," as the certain step to disorganize the Democ. racy of the South, by forcing sectional prejudices into the contest, thereby caus. ing hostile feeling between the North ant South, and to carry out the plans of de signing pettitogers in the South, by ma king local issues. Now, they will have it, that no man should get the vote o shareholders for President only slavchold CT; that all men North cannot he trusted upon the question of the Wilmot Proviso That all Northern men arc unsound ant that when they express themselves as be

Ratification of tI,e Treaty,

As it will be seen by reference to our Washington correspondent, the treaty has been ratified. Some material modiiica- tions have, no doubt, been made from the original form as presented to Congress by the President, an abstract of which we gave in our last. Though the boundary line and the amount of money to be paid by the United States have not been chang ed. It is supposed that the treaty, with it's modification, will be immediately trans- mitted to Mexico for concurrence of the President and Congress of that country, yet it isbeyond possibility to conjecture what will be their course upon the matter, but it is to be hoped that they will no longer stand in their own light by rejection of the stipulations. So if that people will acccde and raiify this treaty, one of the greatest exploits ever achieved by any government, will be that on the part of the United States.

0F It would seem that no other per. sons but whigs can die in Mexico, if the statements of the whig newspapers are to be relied on. No democrats arc in the army, or at least none are ever so un- fortunate as to meet melancholy fate in that country. All are whigs. The Web- sters and the Clays arc all killed, or die. Yell, Pillow, Worth or any other Demo- crat is never caught in such business as dying or being in the army. Oh no, they stay home and make speeches to the dear people. The whigs do all the fighting and the democrats remain at homc-won', be engaged in so horrid war.

WASHINGTON CITY, March II, l646.
Neither House met to-day.

Neither House met to-day.
 Yesterdays Session of the House was enlivened Git being private bill day, which is dull enough in all conscience) by 8 bout at fsticuffs between Haralson of Ga and Jones of Tenn., two members, than whom, none have heretofore been mcxe consistently orderly, mild andrespectful in all their relations. It arose out of pri- vate conversation, and took the House by surprise of course. The iracas, however was soon settled by the interposition of friends, and after shaking hands and laugh ing over the matter, they made suitable apologies to the House. Some of the whigs were for passing resolution to ap- point committee to examine into the matt ter, and report on it forthwith, and that too after the whole thing had been settled and the apologies made. These gentlemen were by no means as anxious to defend the dignity of the House, week since, when it was outraged, apparently wi!tulty, by MT. Tompkins, fellow whig, and in a manner far more offensive than in this case. This was accidental purely that on the other hand seemed to have been a premeditated effort to set the rules of or> der at defiance. So they go.
 We'll, the treaty matter has at last been settled, after battle between the whigs and democrats, such as has not marked the history ofparties for years and years.
 The Webster-T Taylor scheme to defeat the treaty, has failed, while Clay at tho North is doing his best to bring about the certain defeat of the branch of the plot to secure for these two the Presidency and Vice. Presidency, having the effort on New England federalism for its purpose.
 Never did schemers labor harder than did these tricksters in secret session. But as luck would have it, they could not find a sufficient number of democrats ''green' enough to answer their purposes.
 The sum and substance of the plan was so to amend the treaty, as to force the mass of the democracy to vote against it, in order to create abroad the impression that it's defeat was emphatically Demo, cratic measure. have however-written to YOU of this scheme before.

Northern Whiggery.

We clip the following specimen of a whig rally from the "Pcople's Press," 2 Clay whig paper, published in Skohegan
 Maine. This gives the key to the true position of the Wings in that State anc New Hampshire, as well as the object o
 the whigs of the South in opposing the war. "Pcace and Frecdom," or "Wal and Slavery" arc the questions which are blended together by the whigs of New Hampshire, and why cannot tho same open irankness attend the whigs of the South in their opposition to the War r;

had to refuse to countenance it. So, if ! am not deceived, it only found sopqe dozen northern whig supporters in all, This of Crittendcn, on the other hand, vas de- signed, take it, by the federal leaders in and out of the Senate, in caucus, and for the purpose of thus committing the whig party to the anti-extension of territory po- sitions taken by Clay in his Lexington speech. It is presumed that Mir. Web- ster and the few Senators whc, being anxious to further his chance for the vice. Presidency, are for General Taylor, failed to come to the scratch against all indem- nity, and that ali the other opposition Sen. ators-not enough to effect the purposc- voted straight through against any and all indemnity. Most of our friends question: the sincerity of the Wings in this vote, believing that had they expected so sue. ceed, they would not have risEed the as- sumption of the responsibility for the re- jection of the treaty, which thc friumph of any such movement would have ger. tainly brought about; for thus amended, no Democratic Senator would have touch- cd it with twenty foot pole. However, to obtain so strong federal Senatorial demonstration in favor of the position of Clay, as contradistinguished from that of Webster, was what Crittenden- partisan of the latter-was after, it is presumed.
 In the House, yesterday, we were treat ed to continuation of the debate on tho propricty ofthe proposed mission to Rome. Levin and Dickens opposed it, of course, being whigs, and Chas. J. Ingersoll and Charles Brown-all four from Pennsylva- nia-advocated it. The question, howey- CT, had been virtually decided the day be- foremost of the whigs rallyng under the lead of the church. burners man, in vain, to defeat tho erection of the mis- sion.
 Browns speech was one of the most whitening personal onslaughts ever deliv- cred in the Representative Hall. It was an expose of the demagogueism of tho church. burners man, Levin, and the mcndacity of Nativcism. L. sat through it with most philosophical complaccncy. Indeed, it was but giving him the noteriety he covets, and upon which alone he exists politically.
 But fifteen members whigs of ourse-voted against the bill on the ques- ton of its final passage. It is of very considerable importance, creating, as it does, four new chargeships-to Rome, Guatamala, Bolivia and Ecuador. The necessity for these missionsis a practical evidence of the growing importance of our commerce with other nations of the earth.
 This was report day in the House. Af- ter getting through with the reception of the reports offered, federal member somewhat a stranger to most of the press in the Hall-blated furious onslaught oa the positions taken by the President in the message vetoing the River and Harbor bill. This is glorious theme for bum cumb in the estimation of the opposition.
 Tho Senate are at this hour-near p. m.--yet in secret session upon the treaty. Any how, we are certainly day nearer the time at which the question on the rat- ifcation will be "put." B.

The whigs contend for "Peace and Free dom," the Democrats for "War and Sla- very" So here it is at last. What can Southern men, who disclaim all alliance to party, say to this ! We see the very men in fhc South who have been and arc now acting in harmony with these North ern "Peace and Freedom" men, contend ing for no-partyism, and go now so fsr as to oppose the war, without saying sim gle word about "Frecdom." Can ma ny men be caught by their bait of mo- paltyism? We think but very small number can swallow the pill.
 NEW HAMPsHIRE ELEcTIoN.--The election in the old Granite State is the first most important contest that awaits us, and the verdict which the people will cast will have an all important influence, for good or for evil, as its issue may be. It will take place on the second Tuesday in the present month. The battle will be fought and the victory won, directly, openly and boldly, upon the great issue of PEACE and FREEDOM, or WAR and SLAVERY. Shall we sustain the reigning dynasty, and thence pronounce for war and the endless enlargement of the area of slavery; or shall we declare for the upright, true pat riot, Berry, and peace and freedom Shall we suffer the real and worst enemies of our country to choose legislature which may disgrace New Hampshire for six years more or shall we, as we can, elect true MAN. These are the questions to be presente,. to the people of that State in one week from next Tuesday"

0E- It is rather a rich farce to witness the fights now being carried on between the several whig papers in this State, in relation to "Old Rough and Ready" and Henry Clay for the Presidency, and it is rather difficult to tell which is the most powerful at this time, though VIC believe the Taylorites have leg hold in the fight. The old honest principled portion of the whig party support the claims of Mir. C., with a good deal of zeal, while the less consistent portion, and tho softer kind abuse him most unmcrcilully. and say that "Old Zack" is the no-party candidate, and as they have no principles to contend for he is the man for the people. The Mo bilo Advertiser for MT. Clay, and the Brit ish Montgomery Journal for Taylor, are leading, whilst the lesser ones keep ur the bowling.

0- In the selection of the Hon. J. E Belser, of Montgomery, as Taylor Flee tor for the State, by the whigs, seems, il we are to judge from an article in the last Fiag & Advertiser, not to have met with the appreciation of that gentleman It was well understood by Mr. Bclser's old party friends, at the time oflhis ex- prcssion of favor to General Taylor for the Presidency, that that prclercice was based upon the ground that the old Gen. eral was to be candidate attached 10 no party, and if we have viewed Mir. Belser's course correctly, he is not, after it has been 50 palpably shown that Gen. Taylor is to be run as the whig candidate, under any further obligation to support Gen. Taylor. Mir. Belscr has ever been Democrat of the Jackson stripe, and we are almost con- fident that we never shall sec him enga- ged in any political struggle under whig banner.
