WASHINGTON. March 7, le4s.
The Senate had long secret session. TO day on
the Treaty They sat till about o'clock but came
10 no determination on the subject IL IS supposed
that some discussion on the opposition of the Mex
lean States Of Oaaca Aguascal and Chiapas took
place. These States protest against the Treaty
and against the shadow OF Government now at
Queretaro Mr. BREEsE spoke against the Treaty
today. We have got ourselves into most ridI-
eulous scraps by this Mexican War. Polk got US
into i, without the consent OF the proper Constltu
tiopal authority, and TRIsr has been trying TO get
ne ont Of Il without the consent Of and in opposi
ton TO- the orders Of the proper constitutional au'
thoritv. II the Treaty be confirmed We have New
MEXICO and its abandoned population fastened to
US forever. think there Will be no more ishuhS
any how and by prudence we might get rid Of the
curse of this State and People dnder another com
! mission. There il no man m his senses VINO be
l.eves that Upper California and New Mexico are
worth twenty millions OF dollars. They could have
both been bought before the Wa commenced Tor
ten millions. Sir. Polk by consenng to pay more
than double their value acknowledges that the
War was wrong in its commencement by him
Then see how ridicuonsly POLK aud Loco-toco-
ism appear. They say they will not permit any
Foreign Government to interfere ON this Continent
vet England takes Mr. TRlsr aud makes him sign
what she writes. and Polk takes II and is glad TO
| get H. Frailty thy name IS no longer woman
It is Loco Focosm. 1t is said We shall have the
vote on the Treaty 90 morrow II so the Telegraph
/ will overtake this aud IL would therefore be VAIN
J 10 speculate about its fate.
/ Gen. HousroS has gone North It is said he has
/ zone to make n speech 10 New n smpshire. THIS
/ would be rich 10 hear HIM talk 70 the " ankees
/ of whom he said in New York that they always
cheated the indians aud We had right to cheat
J the Mexicans He ought 10 stay here To vote ior
/ his principles for certainly by giving Mexico TWEEN
ty millions of dollars for worthless lands and n
more worthless population, we are not cheating
her u il said however, that he is sent OIL TO be
/ out of the way when the treaty vote Is taken.
/ The House have not yet finally acted ON the De
( Gciency bill A strong effort was made to defeat
/ the proposition 10 send Charge 70 Rome Nc. II
was defeated in Committee OF the w hole bat sus
tanned in the House by Yeas and Nays. Mr.. I.
/ l. ISGFRsoLL has the floor for 10 morrow, and It is
said will reply to Mr.. LEVIN. believe It was
Mr. LEyiN's speech against It that carried II
through. Nobody seems 20 be anxious 20 be found
with hin. or supporting him. 10 is curious how
ever that the motion TO strike this proposition out
was made by Catholic.
MIR WAsHINGTON HUNT from the Committee on
Commerce. reported bill to day remtting the
duties paid on goods consumed by the last great
fire IN New York.
The Post Office Department received some i'm
portant dispatches by the last steamer from Eng
land Before Polk gets US out OF his war CAVE
JOHNSON may have us into another Mr.. w IsE
also tried TO get into a fuss generally with Eng
land on the slave trade at Brazil. W. have estab
ished reputation which Gen. CAss thinks so val
liable for being a fighting people Doubtful
whether we wont be wanting TO exercise this pre-
cious faculty somewhat too often
The weather mas been beautiful today. The
warm sun has been playing on the still remaining
snow like tinges of life upon the cheek Of decay.
