WASHINGTON CITY, March l6, ls49.

Mr. Root, of Ohio, who is perhaps as stronga man as any whig in the House, fell atoul of Taylorism with little mercy Good Lord, how it is catching it But a week or two since Gidding, poured a broadside of unadulterated Federalism in to it. On the day before yesterday the ter rife Bolts promulgated his letter-a per- feet sock -dolager, as it was-and so soon again the onslaught of this Ohio whig is made. There is method in all this. It is the result of settled plan on the part of the Clay leaders, to get matters into their own hands. Giddings dressed phunkey whiggery Bolts salted and peppered it; 1; and Root roasted it. Soit is done brown. Not c Southern whig, or Taylorite, as yet, has ventured to call his soul his own in this connection.

0I- Mir. Bester, the selected wbir ora. tor for the occasion at the great whig meeting recently held in Mobile, stated that the whig party in Alabama would sup. port any man for the Presidency that might be nominated by a National Whig Convcntion--Clay, Taylor, Scott, Me- Lean or Clayton. It will be recollected that this last mentioned favoritc was the only Southern Representative who voted for the Wilmot Proviso, during the last Congress. Now, this is somewhat of an open, frank acknowledgements of the den- tiy Of the whig party in Alabama with the Wiimot Provisoists, than some of the whgs hereabouts care to hear. It places the position of that party in a more cor rect attitude than most of them are dcsirous to be at this carly period of the crisis. Though the truth must come out first or Inst, and we think Mir. Bester deserves n good deal of credit for his frankness.

6T From the appearances of the polit. cal elements, just about this time, VIC think we would be safe, in predicting that the Hon. Henry Clay is determined to use more wisdom and sagacty, than to allow himself to meet an inglorous defeat in again attempting to procure a situation in the " " hitc House." From Mr. Claws peculiar temperament, and his long asso- ciation with political affairs, we would readily come to the conclusion that he would be like Ca fish cut of water," when he is out of apolitical position. Knowing well that his chances for the Presidency have long been blightcd, he needs must set about to obtain his old position in the U. States Senate, and to remove all ob- structions, he must first remove some in- cumbcnt, and so he sets about to effect the nomination of Mir. Crittcnden, by the State Convention of Kentucky, for the Governorship of that thorough whig State
 So that he might be placed again in his old seat, by the Governor of Kentucky This fishing of Mir. Clay is sufficient indication that he is determined not to cx- pcrience another defeat in attempting to ol tain the Presidency.

Sam Houston, Dem. Texas
 The objections, no doubt, of the seven Dem1 crats not voting in favor of the rati- fication, were based upon the ground that the territory as claimed by the present treaty is not q suflicicncy, to give to the United States both indemnity and security, and that sufficient Southern territory is not acquired; though, it is believed, that if their votes had been required for the rat. ilication, they would have given them to effect that object, so desirtus were thay for peace to be effected.
 The stipulations of the treaty are very near the same as those we published short time since, only the articles in rela. ton 10 the land grants in Texas and Cali tornia stricken out, and the provision to extend the jurisdiction of the Mexican church over the Catholic clergy in the ce- ded territory, also, stricken out. It is sup. posed these are the principal qualifications that have been made by the Senate.
 Of the two modes indicated by the trea. ty of paying the ssl5,000,O0O-one to is- sue six per cent. stock on instalments- the latter has been adopted. The three million, subject to Mir. Trist's order, to be paid immediately on the ratification of the Treaty by the Mexican Government-the remainder of the nine million, by three annual instalments of three millions each, bearing per cent. interest from the rati- fication of the treaty by Mexico, and the assumption of the claims of American cit izens upon Mexico, supposed to be three millions more, making the fifteen millions will be adjusted as soon as commissioners are appointed, for that purpose after the ratification There is provision prohb- ting these nstalments from being trans. terred by the Mexican Government.
 Thus has the ratification of the treaty been efiec,ed, indicating for the Exccu- tive great judgment and foresight. At an early period of the deliberations of the Senate, it was supposed that its defeat was certain, but by delay, in consequence of the death of Mir. Adams, the opinions and sentiments of the nation were suiii. cienty expressed to have forced the Sen ate into it's ratification, and to overlool, the informal manner in which it was pre-. sented, and the circumstances lnder which its negotiation was effected by Trist.
 And now, should it meet with the rati- lication by the President and Congress oI Mexico, there will be a permanent peace between the two countries.

RniIroads in AInnnmn.

We have been furnished with the fol lowing statistics of the business done on the West Point and Montgomery Railroad, during the last year, and three months ol the present. We have not been furnish ed with the expenses, but learn that the profits have far exceeded them. When We view the tremendous increase of bu- siness done upon this Road, the only one in South Alabama, should it not be mat ter of surprise, that men of capital, who have it invested in a far less profitable manner, do not turn their attention more to that branch of industry and improve ment. We look to the day as not being far distant, that this mode of investment of capital will yield better per cent. than any other in the State.
 The fiscal year of the company com- mences on November 1st. For the last iis- cal year the business of the road has been as follows:
 Passengers, $37,649 SC Mail, 9,333 B Freight, 18,657 74 Transporting troops, 2600 %
