nags made their appearance on the track, all doubt
seemed to vanish and the horse had the call freely
against the mare, at one and half to one in the
race. Both animals stripped well-but to our eye,
the mare too fine she evidently had been
laboring under sickness that had stolen away her
flesh but not her spirits or her game. She was too

reached they first turn, she stumbed-we thought,
in consequence of foul riding the part of Old

belonging to Mr. Kirkman, fell--as every body
thought, from the saddle, but that boy is trump;
for, after riding in horizontal position on the near

the surprise and delight of every one. he regained
his seat in the saddle, and at the end of the first
mile, had brought his mare in the most delightful
position on the quarter of &c Orator :" which place

! ABOUT TIE TREATY.-We clip the following
/ from the Washington correspondence of the Balti-
more Sun of the 18th inst:
| am bound to say that Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Ben
ton. from the commencement, have opposed the
treaty throughout, oh ectlng 10 the treaty much
/ on account OF the form rs to the substance The
opposition was, indeed as wrote You the day after
| the treaty went in quite formidable at the com
meucement though some persons iFffenff'hg 10 he
well informed. stated that there We're never more
/ than half dozen Senators opposed to At out ana
out and | can assure you that nothing but the
DELAY occasioned by the death and funeral of the
late lamented John Quincy Adams, saved the
treaty. This gave the Senate nearly week tune,
and brought public opinion n to bear upon with
such irresistible force that the Senate had to yield
to it. and agree substantially with the President.
There were four absentees-not three as stated.
I They were
Mr. Pearce of MARYLAND. opposed to the treaty,
but absent account of sickness i'll his family.
Mr.. Phelps of Vermont. who denounced the
treaty iii the strongest terms, and left the Senate
before the vote in "a state of agitation
Mr. J. VI. CLAYTON. who had been in. and gone
out and who was indispoSed, and whose vote was,
any how, uncertain.
