IMPORTANT YR0M MEXICO. THE TRElfY RATIRlRn-cnL SRIIRT

IL gives us great pleasure te state that inc pro- IODgcd and vsxatious war with Mexico is al an end and that the treaty of peace taken out by our Min ister Col SevIer, has received be sanction of that Government without amendment Thus has termi- nated contest which was commenced by acts of dis honesty and aggression the part of the enemy and has ended in his subjugation and disgrace. What terrible fate further awaits this distracted faiihless and eowArdIy people, it is Yet impossible to tell but ah accounts agree that the neighborng Indians are srming and threatening hostiIities openly n their cities, They claim to be the real owners of the soil, and in the unhsppy aid anse,tled condition of the country. when our army shall have left. they will become an easy prey to the eupidity or revenge oi the powerful tribes who form 30 large poitoR of the population of Mexico.
 That we have at length, despite whig orators, and whig rdieule, conquered peace" is cause for fer vent congratulations throughout the land; but it should be in Arkansas a of especial rejoicing, that through e mediation of one of her ciii- zens, that by the diplomacy of Savorite son whom she has fostered into greatness tbis important mea sure should have been accomplished: Surrounded it was with difficulties and endorsements. and with only a iay Of hope that his miss ion would prove successful Col Ssv;er has fulfilled the highest expectations Of the President and the country, and retutns wih final settlement in his hand of this perplexing business. It Is glorious to obtain tri umph by arms, and crush an invading and insulting enemy to your feet, bu fin the present crisis of affairs with Mexico, ihe concluding Of peace by Col. Se- vier E achievement ID, less important in is sult and not less deserving the gratitude Of tbe ton. Arkansas will be thc first to award him this. for as has been often said. ''she may we'll be proud of him." and she is.

An Impressive Facf.

It will not be forgotten, af,er the battles of the sth and 9th of May, 1916. and following the cap ture of Monterey. that the Federal press claimed nearly all our Generals of the regular army, as members of the Federal party. Every opposition paper talked of the war us having been made a war of victory by "Whis Generals" Time at last tells the truth, and We find how wide of the mark were all these estimates. We now see the list of regular Generals and Colonels. who are Democrats that comprises the best blood of the old amy--Worth, Iwlggs Jessup, kearDey, Harney, Riley and Dun can! But, say the opposition papers, Gen. Worth and others, have become DemocI ats since the war broke out.
