perhaps have to buy one. Those Mexican members
of Congress can no more afford TO travel without

Politics of Boston, &c.

The political caudron, in this region, has been
boiling furiously for the last few weeks, and as the
day for the meeting of tie conventions approach
nearer and nearer, the state of the candidate Their
monteter becomes more explanabe. The wings (of
the Legislature) have just nominated Hon. Daniel
Webster as their first choice, in Massachusetts, for
the Presidency, and without ''why or where
FORE they are prepared to go for the great ex-
FOUNDER OF the constitution at their national con-
vennon at Philadelphia, in June. Massachusetts is
wing enough in all conscience, and it will make
very little difference, IN the great result whether
she goes for Webster, Clay, Scott, or Mclean; her
vote must be wing vote

ton Rouge, have written General Taylor down as

rather too early in the day for us to enter into any
speculation the Presidents message the treaty ac
,ompanyng it. They laid before the Senate to.
lay, with certain documents The version Of the treaty
which we have published in the Pioayune may not
be strictly correct but if the boundary lines specified in
hat paper have been accurately drawn they substantially
correspond with the instructions which were originally
sven TO our commissioner in April last When the
yen is Withdrawn, however all the facts will be
developed The true character of the paper and all
is stipuations, will be accurately defined In the
mean time, we would respectfully suggest to our
contemporaries the propriety of calmly waiting, before
they express any conclusive opinions upon it, For ex-
ample, the Baltimore Clipper of this morning ..suspects
that Notwithstanding the semi official statement that (r
rrsts) powers had been withdrawn will be found that
ne had ample authority TO conclude the peace which he
has forwarded to government He would hardly have
undertaken to negotiate after having been Invested of all
power We therefore presume that some condition was
attached to the withdrawal OF his authory-if it was
designed to withdraw iby which he has been ena
Ded to form the present treaty"
If the Clipper had only consulted the late messages
of the President, would have the incorrect
additional conditions and no secret instructions were
subsequent remark of the Clipper" 'hat this is mat
ter OF no great (comparatvel moment the ratification
of the treaty by government will cure defects in the
negoators authority if any exist, AS the President has
resolved TO submit the treaty the Senate hope, for
the sake of humanity and the best interests of both ma
tlons, that 1t will be ratified"
We agree thoroughly with the I" Baltimore Clipper
in the sentiment, that it "cannot agree with the New
York Herald, that the treaty is sham work-a trick got
up to aid the negotiation of the sixteen million loan
md TO be rejected as that object shall have
been accomplished 1t is rather too serious matter to
re with; and do not suspect the President of any
such design" We are satisfied that the "New York
Herald does great injustice TO the President by any such
yrauitous and idle suspicion He is incapable of any
such design 1t is ridiculous to suspect it. Does the
Herald" mean that Mr. Tris has been instructed palm
off sham treaty Mexico to assist the sixteen million
loan or does suspect the President of forging tea
y in the name of Mr. Trst, which he never made'
Either suppostion is as ridiculous in itself is grossly
Unjust to the President.
