PEACE ~

We have at length the exquisite pleasure of
announcing to our countrymen the ratification
of the treaty, and the establishment of peace
between Mexico and the United States We
are satisfied that we proclaim no intelligence
that would dffuse greater joy throughout our
country-not peace only, but an honorable
and an advantageous peace-as the result of
one of the most brilliant wars that ever
adorned the annals of any nation. The
President declared that he would prose-
cute the war until we could conquer
peace"-an honorable peace. We have
reached this result, and we cordially con-
graduate the country upon it. We have just
received g O'Clock last evening" the fol-
lowing bulletin by telegraph, and we con-
slider it the most important and the most graf
flying news that has ever been communica-
ted and received by that mysterious and great
est wonder of the age-the magnetic telegraph.
Thanks a thousand times to Professor Morse,
in whose Office and by whose side we have
the honor of penning these hasty and heart
felt lines
