PROSPECTS OF THE TREATY.
The Governors of several of the states
have sent in replies to the circular of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, announcing
the completion Of the treaty. Guanajauto
takes strong ground against it. The Gov

Pena y Pena.

San Luis Potosi changes its original

existing government, it assumes that Of
friendship and support. The Governor
sanctions the negotiations. Tabasco u.s.

Oajaca, which is decidedly the richest
agricultural state Of Mexico, is decidedly
opposed to the treaty. Its delegates have

GEN TAYLoR's Position There is a
novel idea suggested by reading the vari-
Gus letters Of Gen. Taylor, responding to
letters announcing his nomination 10 the
presidency. It is this: he says he IS a
"Whfg;;" but he will not pledge himself
to administer the Government OH "Whig''
principles! Now fair inference from this
fact is, that he sees the People have be-
come so disgustcd with the doctrines assert
ed by the party Of which he claims to be
one, as to render it necessary for any one
of that stamp to say nothing, if he wishes
to EH the office Of President. Query.

Government administered, if No-partyisms

Of the survivors are suffering from sickness.
During the last II days they were on board
the Aurora, the allowance of food was
limited to 81 ounces of bread, and a wine
glass Of water each day TO every one on
board. The British brig Barbara, Captain
Skinner, from New York for Cork, with
a cargo Of corn, took on board about $50
more on the l1th Feb and afterwards
bore away Tor Newfoundland. On the
I'd March, the steamer Hibernia, Captain
Shan non, from New York, vim Halifax,

the steamer bore down to the Barbara,
when the captain Of the latter vessel &C.

it was impossible to make it. In attempt

took the land and drifted into cove at the
entrance of Petty Harber, N. F. and went

struck cliff and stove hole in her bow.
Thirty-fve individuals managed to reach

the Barbara fell over and went down, car

The Meeting Of Saturday Evening.

| The democrats Of Rayenna had an ex
cellent meeting on Saturday evening las,
There were not as many present as W.
wished to have seen, still there were a re
spectacle number in attendance. Though
but township meeting. it was very neal
as large as the mass county convention OF
the wings week previous; but we would
been glad 10 have had every voter in the
township present 10 listen to the mastery
speech Of MIR. Spalding. The greater por'
ZION Of the speech was devoted TO the all
exciting subjec. ofthe Mexican war, and
he showed clearly that the war was com.
menced by Mexico, in pursuand Of the
repeated threats Of the Mexican minister,
that the annexation Of Texas would cause
war. He showed that Mexico had collect.
cd her armies, after the return oil her min
lister, and invaded Texas, with the avowed
intention Of reconquering that territory,
then and now an independent State Of the
Union, and every inch Of the soil of whic h
i; was the duty Of the President to protent,
as much as it was his duty to protect the
soil Of Ohio; and that the territory of Tex

tiles Of Mexico, so claimed by Texas in the
adoption Of the constitution Of tho Republic;
that Texas had extended her jurisdiction
and authority over it, and that it had teen
adopted into our confederacy as aState with
her boundary fully and amply defined and
maintained against the powers Of Mexico.
But no claimed that Mexico had never as.
signed this question Of boundary as the
cause Of the war-that she had uniformly
declared her intention and determination
% reconquer the whole Of that territory to
he Sabine, and that this question Of disput-
ID territory was all an afterthought Of the
wings, got up for the purpose Of excusing
heir ireachery to the country. He a!lud.

hat the war was caused by the annexation
If Texas, and claimed that as that was the
cause of the war the wings ought not to
charge the war upon Mf. Polts, for the act
# annexation was the act of Congress and
|ohn Tyler. He alluded to the opposition
which our country has ever had 10 encoun-
or from enemies at home in her struggles
With foreign powers.
The creator part Of Mr.. SIS speech was
levo:ed to the subject Of the war, still he
llluded briefly to the other questions at is
ue between the two parties. Those who
leard him upon the subject Of the apportion.
nent, must have been convinced of the in.
ustice and iniquity Of that measure. But
We cannot give even an outline Of the
pcech. To be appreciated it should have

After Mr.. Spalding had closed, Gen.
3ierce was called for, who entertained the
Meeting with short and pertinent speech.

We hope that the people Of every town.
