Treaty OF Peace.

for late dispatches, in relation to peace,
puts at rest the rumors which have been
so widely circulated in regard to the got
eminent having official information of a
treaty of peace. The Washington Union
states that 80 far as the Administration is
concerned, there is no foundation for such
reports. tits rumored, however, that MIR.

assurances to Gen. Scott Of the willing
ness Of the Mexican government to enter
into conciliatnry negotiation.
We can see no prospect Of u just peace
with Mexico, so 'ong as the wings hold
the war TO be unconstitutional. The ef
forts Of the wings against their country,
have prevented the United States from
compelling our enemies to submit to hon
OrabIe terms, before this time. By false.
y declaring that the aim Of this govern
ment was to annihilaie the nationality Of
Mexico, after The war was made a var
of invasion by almost the entirs vote Of
Congress, our enemies have been aroused
to desperate resistance. Such is the
consistency, and such is the patriotism of

copies OF figures and descriptions which Messrs.
HI. and r. will distribute among schools and al

for their noble and generous spirits. Such an en-

young hands animated by warm and generous
hearts. Hence, in addition to lessons in drawing,

ing such copies, patriotic feelings promoted in
young minds, and pupils are led to feel that the very
best mode of improving themselves is to aid in the
improvement of others.-.4iernldria Gazette.

TRUE PROGRESS.

The Commonwealth of MASSACHUSETTS is a
burning and shining light. She is an example
OF the true progress of naton-not that barbarian
progress in the arts of war and bloodshed of which
such conquerors as Alexander, and Tamerlane, and
Alaric have furnished the examples--but the pro-
gress of human virtue, intelligence civilization, and
true happiness not the progress which ruins neigh
boring nations but that which improves, enriches,
eXalts, and adorns our own.
Lastyear the people of Massachusetts voluntarily
taxed themselves about million of dollars for the
support of Common Schools. There is not ma
tive born child in, the State, old enough to learn,
who is not able to read and write. In the city OF
Boston, during the three months preceding the 10th
Of April last 100000 were spent in building pub
lie school houses. The high school just finished
in Cambridge, with two other school houses, cost
$4,000. Another, of splendid and costly charac-
ter, was lately finished in Charlestown. Another at
Newburyport cost $4,000. Within the last year,
individuals have given $500 900 to Harvard College.
The State is building reform school for vagrant
and exposed children, which will cost more than
500. 900. Anunknownindividu has given $40 900
towards it.
The State educates all the deaf, dumb, and blind.
Last winter the Legisture made an appropriation
to establish school for idiots.
| These are the ne,o charities and works of phi
lanthropy IN which Massachusetts is engaged. She
has already finished such Institutions other States
are now engaged in establishing. She is from thirty
to fifty years ahead of the age. Following her ex-
ample, let all endeavor to progress.-Irenton Gaz
