FROM WASHINGTON,
Correspondence ortho Boston Atlas.
WAsmNGroN, Feb. 2nd

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2nd.
The speech of Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, to-
day, in the SENATE, was of the most cheering
character. The Loco Focos always anxious
TO find out some comfort from Wing divisions,
and to draw OFF such particles from the Wing
column as may amalgama,e with their baser
mateFal raised report over the country that
Mr. Bell would take grounds distinctly oppos-
ed to those of Mr. Clay. We all wondered if
this could be so, of one whom we knew so
long, aud loved so well, as John Bell. But
all doubts of his position are today dissipated,
and the Wing column stands unbroken. lie
acknowledged that, when he came TO Wash
ington, he was inclined to vote every man and
dollar tie Administration wanted. Since he
came to Washington, and had seen the in
iguitous course the Administration are pur-
suing he had changed his mind. lie there
fore will go with the whole body of the
Wings against the wicked schemes ofthe EX-
ecutve imbeciity, which, for the moment,
rule the destiny of this country. am glad
to see the stand taken by Mr. Bell today, a.
gainst the schemes ola party who came into
power by fraud. and have waded through
crime and blood till the last moments of their
existence.

Mr. Benton will vote for the Ten Regiment

reason for this is, that he does not wish to
embarrass the Administration by his avowal
of his disapproval of its course.

THE TREATY.

The Philadelphia Ledger correspondent
writes as follows concerning the late nego-
tiations in MeAico
The terms of the treaty which Gen. Scott
and Mr. Trist have made in Mexico. and
which is nothing but projct, as it is made
without authority, and not binding on either
narty, are, as | once informed you, substan-
italy the same us those offered by Mr. Blu
chanan, through Mr. Trist, to the Mexican
Commissioners, viz: The Rio Grande to the
Atlantic side, and the ella on the Pacific.
The sum of money which is to he paid for
Upper California may be $l5,000,000. The
treaty concluded with Scott and Trist, you
may depend on it, had good deal to do with
the difficulties that occurred among the Off
GERS ofour army in Mexico. Worth and Pill
low both denounced it.

Who will doubt the fitness of ] P. Hall to be the

The great objection to Mr.. Clay seems to be,
that be rejects the highwsymans maxim that Might
makes Right, that he is willing to make Peace
with Mexico without exacting half her territory
He does not want to wrest from her even half the
long and narrow valley Of the Rio Grande isolated
as it is;ftom all our Americanized territory by
uninhabted wild of one to several hundred miles
in width, aud peopled by a race who are Mexican
all over and utterly abhor our domination. He is
willing to take the Bay of San Francisco and all
that fairly pertains to it in payment Of our just
claims Mexico, but not to strip her Of half her
dominions, in satisfaction for the expenses OF Mr..
Folks War. This Mr.. J. Prescott Hall thinks un
fits Mr.. Clay for the Presidency-implies that he
would sacrifice the national character 'renounce
the honor of the country, pull down the stars and
stripes and lay them PROSTATE at the feet of Mex

letting the public see schat ii is that the Wings are
