We again have the pleasure of calling the attention
of the reading and trading public to the list of Boston
advertisements which may be found in our columns
Enterprise and competition the the very life of the
world and we know Of no place where these may be
found in greater perfection than in New England and
especially in the Emporium Of New England. The
very fact that business men associate themselves to-
gether, and invite the attention and scrutiny of the
public is good assurance that their varied assert,
ments of merchandise and mechanism will bcur the
closest inspection, and can be obtained at the lowest
rates. for the Jockey and the cheat stab in the
dark, instead of laying open their business to the pub
lie gaze. The business relations of our Vermont peo-
pie with Boston most intimate, and will be-
come much more SO, when the navigable waters Of tie
iron riuer shall bear down to the Queen city the vast
treasures of our vallies and mountains in eight hours
time, instead of eight days And we would specially
request all such of our readers and the public as ex

Of this paper and call upon those houses which have
so generously advertised and invited inspection OF

can give assurance that these houses are omoog the

Behold their Consistency.

1t is notorious fact that, during the last Prcsiden-
tal election almost the entire northern section of the
whg party, with the Ne,O York Tribune at their head
justified their jealous support of Mr.. Clay on the
ground of choosing The ecSt Of too evs. Mr. Clay was
admitted to be theoretically and practically identified
with the interests of slavery to no small extent; but
still, the question lay between him and Mr.. Polk

The North Rehnked.

Cassius NJ, Clay, in a recent speech at Richmond,
KY, in which he gives his views of the Mexican war,
views somewhat unintelligible to us--adminsters
the following scathng rebuke upon the proslavery and
mercenary spirit of the North rebuke, however, that
would have come with better grace had it been back

"If eight millions of people could be united to

widows and orphans-the myriad calamtles which the

it be done? The past gives no assurance OF such
things. The South has shown no such greatness Of

New HAMPSHIRE EleCticn%ThC Result

The public eye has been closely fixed upon New
Hampshire for months past, in view OF the contest
which the political parties there were making and as
time advanced and the occasion of the final decision
drew near, interest became excited to high degree.
Liberty men contemplated with deep concern the move
ments of their brethren there and viewed with feelings
of approbaton the energy and determined zeal which
characterized all their acts They that Freedoms

forebore not to avail themselves o. every honorable
means for the triumph in that state of free principles.
The saveocracy also looked on, and scrutnzed with
equal interest the doings gifts servants there and stu

wherein something might be done to further their black
designs. Every device which putrid, pro-slavery
faction could bring into requiston, was made use OF

Such, for substance, is the treaty negotiated
by Don Nicholas Trst, contrary to the advice
and consent, if we may believe the adminstra-
ton organ, of the President and Cabinet of the
U. S.-The President is said to have approved
of the amendments of the Senate is expressed
that the Mexican Congress will accept the med
hcatlons. The Washington correspondent OF
the journal of commerce thinks that the chief
difficulty in the way or the ratification Of the
amendments will be with Mr., Mcintosh and
other British agents, and adds:
"The original project proposed that the three
millions be paid to Mexico on the ratification OF
the project by the Mexican Congress All that
is defeated by amendments. The amendments
must be concurred in by the Mexican govern
ment and Publications exchanged, before any
money can be paid. Then, again, the original
project was that the ADDITIONAL sum Of twelve mill
ions, should be paid to Mexico in United States
stocks, and in that case, the consideration stip-
ulated for the British agents and others who ne
gotlated the project would be at once paid to
them IN stocks, by the acting President, Penay
Pena, But the Senate have provided that the
sum shall be paid in annual enstallments, and in
com, to the Mexican government. The existing
government cannot, therefore, control it, and
there can be no bribery in the matter-and the
British agents can get no compensation for then
influence in favor of ratification. They lose
also their preferred grants of lands. They viii
look coldly on the Treaty, as modified.
The amount of the matter is, that the Senate
have so framed treaty as to secure the indepen
dent, and unbiased, and united action of thu
Mexican Government upon it. In other words
t we are to have no humbug treaty and peace il
A good faith, or none at ALL"

Revolution in France,

BY our foreign news it will be seen that another
revolution has broken out in France, leaving its trail of
blood behind. The venerable King has fed to Eng
land, and the fierce spirit of revolution is in full
dency. 1t is said that republican form of govern

y
The members of The Committee of Ways
and Means at Washington disagree, it seems,
in regard to the method Of raising money
the majority are in -fasor.of a loan, The minor
ity propose an issue of Treasury notes. z
If an issue of Treasury notes is the meth
cd adopted, itmust contemplate a tax firth e
payment of the debt thus contracted. A
large portion oflhe Treasury notes issued are
returned to the treasury through the custom
house, after no long period of time; por-
ton of them, it is true, are xept back, as a
mode Of investing money, but they form so
convenient medium for the payment ofcus-
tom house dues, that they are attracted to
the Collectors Office by an irresistible mag
netism. The greater part of the revenue of
the custom house is, therefore, at the pres
eni moment, received i'm these notes.
Merely to order an issue of treasury notes
would, therefore, be hardly more than pass
