lHR SPECIAL MISSION.
Ambrose II. Sewer, Senator from Ar
kansas, and Nathan Clifford, of Maine,
U. S. Attorney General, are the two Com
missioners appointed by President Polk
TO proceed to Mexico and perfect the
Treaty of Peace. They are both men of
moderate ability, aud most devoted i'm
pie ments of The Slavery propaganda-the
Northern doughface having been more
conspicuousIv so ofthe two. The expec-
tation that Mr.. Polk would appoint one
eminent Wing on this Commission, or at
least one man of Independent character,
was absurd Tools, not Statesmen, were
required, and have been chosen Tri-

Mr.. CLAY AND THE PRESIDENCY.
The w ashington Union says: we
learn that the letter which was submitted
to the Kentucky Convention from MEM
Der of Congress, does not represent cor
rectIy his views. We have no hesitation
in saying that Mr.. Clay does not design
to withdraw from the course and that
such is virtually the purpot of letter
which was received from him this day in

RICHARD P. ROBINsoX-A MISTAKE.
The paragraph published in the North
ern papers, about the supposed death of
Richard P Robinson, SO unpleasantly
connected with the murder of Ellen Jew
EFT, years ago, in New York City, embod-
les an entire mistake. Robinson is not
only now living, but is in most flourish
ing circumstances-as we are, this morn
ing, credibly informed by persons who
know him well. lie is Clerk of the
Circuit Court of Nachidoches County,
Texas. Soon after Robinson was ac-
quilted ofthe murder of poor Ellen Jew
eft, he left New York City and emigrated
to Texas. He fought at the battle of
San Jacinto, and was afterward out with
Gen. Rusk, in the Cherokee campaign.
During the latter, he was wounded i'll the
right arm, which he has consequently
lost the use Of but he writes beautiful
hand with his left, and expeditiously too.
His name now is RICHARD PARMLEE
lie is nigh forty and has accumulated a
comfortable fortune. Mr. Parmlee, some
years since, married an interesting young
lady Of Texas, of most respectable family,
and has several children. He takes con-
siderable interest in political affairs, and
is Il Houston man. often canv assing
the country in times Ct political excite
ment. lis manners are somewhat re-
served, taciturn and naughty; but, from
our information, he is we'll liked by his
reighbors. He does not particularly shun
conversation on the shocking topic which
has given such notoriety 10 his name.
He, of course, avows himself innocent
as a Jury has declared him. N. o. Cres-
