Peace WITH Observation-Disclosures accounts
of the ratification of Peace with Mexico, have
been received. The Treaty has been ratified
by both Houses of the Mc1icdn Congress, and
our troops ere this are on their way home. In
the language of the New York Advertiser, we
forbcar comment upon the terms on which
peace has been secured. We never approved
of the war; have always regarded the glory it
has brought as bought at far too dear price,
and would welcome peace at any price short Of
national dishonor. The issue of the whole
business is severe comment upon the hot
haste and selfconfdcnt tone with which il was
commenced A wiser and less ambitious Ex-
ecutiye and Cabinet might have avcrcd the
conflict. How many human lives might thus
have been spared, who shall calculate De-
voutly are we thankful, however, that the
army has done with fighting and that the faces
of the war-worn soldery arc turned toward
their homes. There may they arrive in safe
ty, never again to forsakc the arts of peace
and industry, but to enjoy the priceless bes-
sings OF civil liberty IN glad and happy homes.
And now that peace is made, we are BY no
means disposed to look upon the counirys
prospects with apprehension and gloom. That
we have paid very dearly for glory, and must
still pay no inconsIderablc sum for peace, is
but too true. The resources of the country
have been GENEROUSLY taxed and a heavy burden
remains. But that the country is likely to be
seriously or permanently embarrassed thereby
we do not believe. Its recuporativo energies
are more than equal 10 a much more serious
emergency, and very brief interim Of peace
will give it sufficient strength to remove the
mouHtaln Of evil which war has left behind
The country is sated with war, and it is not
likely that any other than peace policy on the
part of the Executive will be hencoforth pur
sued The republic is not so easily to be
moved from its foundations that two or three
years fighting can unsetlc It's prosperity. Let
but peace be assured and we have no fears for
the future. Such unruly spirits rs may return
with the army will soon be sobcrcd down by
the universal love of peace aud order which
will peryado prosperous and happy commu-
nity.

We now look upon the Presidential qucs-

be in the Presidential chair on the 18th of
March if he is alive. lie will sweep the south
from Capo May to Key West, and from the
Ohio to the Rio Granda. Virginia will give
