Short Patent Sermon.-Perhaps it may
not be amiss to remember the printer in
my discourse. He is in a very disagree
able situation. He trusts everybody--he
knows not whom; his money IS scattered
everywhere. and hardly knows where to
Look for it. His paper, his ink, his type
his journeyman's labor, his living, &C.,
must DO punctually paid for. You Mr..
-, and Mr., and a hundred others l
could name, have taken his paper, and you
and your children, your ~neighbors have
been amused and informed, and / hope i'm
proved by it; if you miss one paper, you
think very hard of the printer; you would
rather go without your best meal than to
be deprived of your newspaper. Have
you ever complied with the terms of your
subscription? Have YOU taken as much
pains to furnish the printer with his mon
|ey as he has to furnish you with his paper?
Have you paid him for his type, his press
his hand work, his head work? Ifyou have
not, go and pay him of-DOw,j r.
Talking for a Dram.-One of the best
stories of the season is told BY Sauyd
Welsh, of a man who was in the country on
a visit, where they had no liquor. He got
up two hours before breakfast and wanted
his bitters.-None to be had; of course he
felt bad. e. ,. ~

From our Extra of The 18th,
HIGHLY
PEACE CONCLUDED BY THE RATI.
CATION OF THE TREATYu

CATION OF THE TREATYH
By the arrival of the steamer Ocean
Wdre, this morning, we are in possession
of St. Louis papers of yesterday, contain
ing Telegraphic Dispatches from Wash
ington, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, to the
evening Of the 18th. We lay them imme-
diately before our readers.
WASHINGTON, March 18th.
The Senate, on Friday last, ratified the
treaty with Mexico. The vote stood SO
to Is.
To-day, it is reported that Mr.. SEWER,
Senator from Arkansas, has been appoint
ed Commissioner to Mexico.
Afght took place in tho House on Fri
day last, before the adjournment, between
Messrs. HarraIson and Jones, of Georgia.
The difficulty, however, was amicably ad-
'justed.
The Un,on, of yesterday evening, con
|tains the following account:
WASHINGTON, March 18th, 6 +. NJ.
The Treaty of Peace has been ratified!
All is excitement and joy.
The same paper says, "The majority by
which it was carried, was not despatched"
The vote Of SO to Is we are inclined to
think, relates to. the notifications agreed
to, and not to the body of the Treaty.

MEXICO AND HKR PRospEc1s The recent adj
vices from Mexico represent her as on the eve Of
another revolution. The depletion she has suffered
In the recent war, has not cooled the fever which
has ragged within her necessarily for the last half
century neither has the Punishment OF her gene-
rails given her peace. Paredes the embodiment of
revolution, and the champion Of exploded mo-
narchy, has been cast OUT and yet she is disturbed
Santa Anna, whose hundred defeats have not
slaked his thirst for military renown, is In exile;
and yet there is no peace. Herrera, who is I'M
questonabIy one the abest staIesme ia Mexico.
will probably find himself, ere long, ncapacitatej
from mai ntaining the integrity Of the republic, or
of unfolding those wholesome restraints of law
which are absolutely essential TO the welfare of
apeople.
This lamentable condition of things had its
o:igin long before the States OF Mexico achieved
their Independence of the Spanish crown. 1t is
vain to say that is owing to the change of govern
ment. If this were so, our own country would
have presented SIMILAR spectacle.
Tampco is said to have pronounced in favor Of
independence and annexation to the United States
The city of Tamplco, and 'he surrounding district,
have probably seen more of the advantages Of
d
other part OF Mexico. During the greater part of
the war, that city had the good fortune of wise,
temperate and mild government, and firm enough,
withal to protect the inhabitants the ENJOYING ut
of their property, as well as our own citizens and
soldiers from insult and aggression. We are not
at all surprised therefore, hear of her being the
first to declare in favor of a connection with the
United States.
We may, from this time forward, expect to hear
of various portions of the Mexican republic revolt
ing, and asking admission into our Union. We
regard this the natural consequence of the nfu-
sion of intelligence among her people. There are
radical defects in the central government of Mex
leo, which render the harmonious coalition and
combination of her people almost matter of i'm
possibility.
Before the recent war, they never imagined we
could cope with them IN arms. They regarded
us as northern barbarans unskiiled IN the arts of
war, and wholly unprepared for national struggle.
1t was but by a long and uninterrupted series of
defeats that they were at length brought to their
senses.
Those defeats so Frustrated their strength that
we could easily have absorbed the half, or even
the whole of their territory, at once. 1t is, how
ever, better as it happened The treaty we have
made with them will give them opportunity of
essaylng their own system of government for a
time, and they will have leisure TO reflect and
compare 1t with our own
There is no doubt at all that they will be, IN a
few years, knocking at our doors for admission
INTO the Union
