those tender associations, woven in the flow

OF bis friends, and an ornament to his town,
He had attained that age in which we fee
most secure from the scythe Of time, and

understanding between the two governments,
the Commissioners would have departed from
their authority. and the Treaty would have a.
gain 10 be submitted 10 the ratification of our
Senate.
But such has not been the case. Let any
one compare the Protocol with the letter of
Mr.. Buchanan to the Mexican Minister for
Foreign Affairs, srhich has been in the posses
sion Of the public since the 9Th Of July, 1913,
and it will be seen that the effect of the
two instruments differ in no particular what
ever.
When the ratified treaty returned TO Wash
ington, it was again, on that day, submitted
TO Congress, with this Identical explanation of
the amendments, to the end that Congress
might adopt the legislation necessary and pro-
per in the premises. IF any artifce had been
employed 10 mislead the Mexican authorities !;
FIT any change had been suffered or directed by
the President, in the amendments made by the
Senate, why was not the fact promulgated and
commented upon by Messrs. Stephens, Hale.
or Giddngs No! 1t did not then subserve
their purpose o: throwing embarrassment in
the way OF the present administration A
government is about to be organized for the
protection of our citizens in California. Mr.
Polk will have all the credit of performing to-
wards them this act of justice, and something
must be done, no matter how silly and ridicu-
l0us, to prevent it. This will be seen 10 have
been the design of the Federalists, from the
following extract from the National In.elh-
gencer -
| AS at present advised we do not see how this
proceeding of the President, in the teeth of the
constitution. is to be legaized but by the treaty
being again laid before the Senate, and that body
agreeing, fran the necessity Of the case, to ratify
the treaty over again. with the I" Protocol" incor-
porated annexed
Without some such proceeding, as the reader
will at once perceive, neither California nor New
Mexico, nor the boundary to the Rio Grande. be-
long to the United States. the cesson Of those ter
rtories having been accepted by the tre making
power of the United States upon conditions which
Mexico has not agreed to yield Until this diff
Guilty concerning the treaty with Mexico be adj
justed, all effective legislation concerning those
Territories would seem to be out of the question
We rejoice, however, that it has, instead
given Mr.. Polk a new occasion for refuting
their ISLANDERS and defeating their captous OPP
position. Such attacks will be 10 this admin
istration like the opposing breeze to the breast
of the eagle, which will only make it soar the
higher in public esteem and admiration, when
MIR. Stephens and his revelations are buried in
oblivion.
