adjourned

A correspondent Of the N. Y. Courier and En-
quirer, thus speaks Of the chances for the ra,f-
cation OF the treaty.
although Mr.. Polk wants the treaty confirm
ed. fhowever angry he appears to be with Mr..
Trist) there is goodlv number of Senators who
will oppose it On prime Piles. Col. Benton, Mr..
Calhoun Gen Houston and Rusk, and Mr.. A.
len are among them, and their names seem TO
warrant the conclusion that they will be far from
standing alone. Mr.. Allen wants the treaty
to be discussed with open doors, and II that mo :
ton prevails, the treaty is certainly in danger.
If the discussion takes place with open doors and
becomes the theme Of newspaper comment, all
the Preside initial appliances IN the world cannot
save il; and ~ oung Hickory" will most reluc-
family, to- be obliged TO grid his
sword and fight Mex leans instead of the Wings
in the 1t Preside tiai election.
The Baltimore Suns correspondent says-Mr.
Buchanan is supposed to be opposed to the treaty

candidate for the Presidency can succeed If he

nevertheless opposed to the treaty ia some re-
spects.
As the treaty now stands; the following wings
are supnosei to be against it:-BaIdwin, Bell,
Berrien Clark, Corwin, Davis. of Massachu-
setis,) DAYTON, Johnson, of Louisiana Miller,
Phelps, Sprague, Upham and Webster.

CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY OFFICES.
As the time is approaching, when the wings OF
this county will be called upon to express their
preference of the several candidates for County
officers, and particularly those of Sheriff, Rep
reese ntaiives and Prosecuting Attorney, feel
il 10 DO an imperative duty to learn the views of
the candidates upon the beet of the Ne1ic0n
War. before can conscientiousty cast my vote.
Whatever may be the measures of general
policy which the Wings party may pursue
the subject of this aggressive and unholy war,
is paramount in consideration before the eyes
Of Just community.
The Indiana State Sentinel, not very reiia-
BILE source, states that Stephen b. Stanton and
Solomon Meredith, are War Wings. My esteem
for these pe rsons alone induces me to make the
inquiry-whether the statement be true or false
II il be true they will have the candor TO ac-
knowledge it; If it be false. and can hardly be-
lieve it othe rwise they will as certainly refute
it. Myself and neighbors wish to know the
vie VIZ Of the candidates this subject; and
may venture to say that the voters Of the county
generally are equally desirou. OF knowing che
sentine nts Of those we are called upon to vote
for. Ihaye also heard il stated by many respect
able persons. that David B. w oods, one of the
candidates for prosecuting attorney, made war
speeches some time ago, sustaining Polks nefa-
rious policy. And heard him say on the occa-
sion of the ,2d uIt- that the battle of Baeaa us

The Indiana Senate. prior to the adj
journment of the Legislature, passed a
Joint resolution ofthanks to the officers and
soldiers Of our gallant army in Mexico,
which il published at length in another
column. The resolution was passed with
but a single dissenting voice, that Of
DAVID p. HOLLOWAY. the Senator
from Wayne county, and Wing Elector for
the fourth District. This is the same
Darid p. Holloway who introduced
Joint resolution into the Senate, declaring
this war a war Of aggression, unconstitu
tional. and brought on by an assumption Of
power by the President Of the L. States
the same Darid p. Holloway who, whilst
the volunteer regiments were being organ
lied in this State. through the columns Of
his filthy whg sheet. urged the young men
of his county to stay at home: and who.
after the regiments were made up, thanked
his God that ''Old Wayne" had not con-
tributed single volunteer to fight the bat
lies Of his country-that their hands were
Mnsfained By this unjust, this nnholy, this
bloody and unnatural war! Such fra,
torish conduct deserves 10 be remember
ed. and will be remembered. as emanating
from one of the leading Wing journals Of
Indiana.
Thus writes Isaac Stevens, Esq. editor
and publisher Of a very consistent locofoco
sheet somewhere among the knobs on the
Ohio river, He is doubtless very brave
and patriotic little fellow. for he does little
else that glorify Polk. and brag on the
war lie believes the war to be just-to
have been constitutionailym ade-to be the
Iop!y means by which the outrages COM
mitted on the rights Of American citizens
could be avenged and revenged-he be-
lieves a foreign foe insultingly entered
American territory and shed the blood Of
American citizens on the soil owned by
calling to arms, and his associates were
volunteering TO sacrifice their lives in the
strife of battle, the name Of Stevens was not
found on the muster roll. The brave men
went. but the coward skulked. The form
er staked their lives on the issue; and the
patriotism Of the latter fizzled out Of the
ends Of his fingers! He would not trust
his caltskin in Mexico! Not he! But
urged others to go. and then thanked his
stars that Mexican bullet could not reach
him.
Isaac Stevens reminds us Of an Incl
dent that occurred in this county about the
time the call was made upon this State for
volunteers. 1t is said an ultra loco who
was very active in urging others to 60 to
Mexico. and very loud and long in his
denunciation of the Wings for not going
calling them tories, and such others epithets
as Bro. Stevens applies to them. when a
brother loco who was fond Of a joke got
up fictitious commission authorizing him
to raise a company as soon as possible for

ate, the Treaty provided that all grants Of
land in the territory ceeded prior to the
treaty shall be respected, and that grants of
land in Texas, made by Mexico prior to
the revolution, shall be confirmed This
portion of the Treaty is said to have been
stricken out; consequently the Mexicans
may refuse to confirm the ratification

the valuable lands in Texas, New Mexico

HENLEY or QvAKERIsM-The Hon. T.
J. Henley, member of Congress from this
State made a speech few days since. on
a motion to print a memorial from the So
ciety Of Friends on tho subject Of the
Mexican war; in which he took occasion to
say the Quakers were tories in the re-
evolutionary wcr, and that they are no bet
ter now. To give some force to this slam
derous declaration, Mr.. Henley declared
that many Of his ancestors and present re-
latves were and are members Of that re-
ligious society. That has ancestors may
have been tories. we will not dispute, but
as to their having been Quakers we have
no evidence Of the fact. If he has any
relatives now who are members of that
society. they have been but little advantage
TO him, as ne does not exhibit one feature
Of their Christian virtues. They have
evidently thrown their pearls before a
swine.
