The Treaty with Mexico Presidents Message.
publish to-day this most important treaty ratified
by both governments and officially proclaimed in the
English and Spanish languages We also give below the
admirable message of the President transmitting the
treaty to Congress. We had intended to accompany the
publication OF these most interesting documents with
such reflections OF our upon the topics they embrace
and upon the great events which have marked the pro-
gress OF the present administration as the occasion
naturally to suggest But the arrangements of our Office
render it convenient to defer these remarks till
our next publication. eaa -
Meantime trust that this message-which, in our
Judgment be regarded as of the ablest
alny is of the interesting State papers which
have emanated from our govemment-will receive from
our readers that careful and attentive study which its
Importance and value so well deserve In its retrospect
of past events and its views OF future policy, it is
alike instructive and luminous We should do injustice
both to our sentiments and, believe the gen
era sentiment of the country, if we did not embrace this
opportunity mark and record of the high and
mastery ability displayed in the series of annual and oc
casona messages, which the President has developed
the policy of his administration to Congress and the
country Viewed together one series of great
State papers, fully persuaded that, in clear
and conclusiveness of argument, and in dignity and
appropriateness of style and dction, they have not
been surpassed by any similar series of papers emanang
from any previous administration The principles and the
policy which they expound and vindcae, fully conform
in judgment to those authoritative and venerable
standards of the democratic faith, which illustrated the
Jeaersonian era OF our republic, which rescued our
government from the pers that beset its early maturity
and which, having already proved themselves the safe
guards OF our past career as naton form the only
sure hope of our future prosperity and renown.
With such able documents from all departments Of
the execuve-with messages wise, so powerful in
composition, and admirable their views and temper
with such carried out at home and abroad
foreign relations crowned with glory and domes
tic policy distinguished by the wisest reforms it may be
permitted to the snarers and the Momuses of Congress
to Andrew Stewart of Pennsylvania, and to Isaac E
Holmes of South Caroina--to indulge their narrow
factous feelings, without cause, and abuse
without decency They may msrepresent factsattrbute
unfounded motives attack the President and his friends
without reason. Who cares for them, when the great
body of the people stand ready to approve the acts and
| admire the men,
This last message of the President does full Justice to
the glory of the and the benefits of the treaty 1t
recommends to Congress those which naturally
grow out of it; and it enoins those principles which
necessary suatoh to the prosperity of the
ry-a proper scale of standing army; economy expen
ditures the prompt reduction in the public debt and that
spirit of compromise in the disposition of the terri
tory, which grows out of the constitution ITSELF and
well calculated to confirm the blessed Union of great
confederacy OF States.
