The Treaty of Guadalupe Hdalgo, negotiated,
ratified, exchanged, and proclaimed by the last Ad-
mnstration, bound this Government, by the most
sacred stipulaons, never to occupy any portion of
the country South of the boundary line solemnly
agreed to in the 5h article of that treaty. The last
paragraph of that article which put an end forever
10 annexation south of that line is in the following
remarkable words:
1.-The boundary line established by this article
shall be reHgiousty respected by each of the two
Republics, and no change shall EVER BE MADE
THEREIN, except by the express and free CONSENT
OF BOTH NATIONS, lawfully given by the General
s Government of each, in conformity ,ciM its o,0n
. Constitution"
This Treaty was the great glory of the Union, the
Pennsyluanian, and all the other great and little
organs of the last Administration. 1t was negota-
ted by Democratic President, ratified by Senate
of which large majority were of the Democratic
school, and proclaimed on the 4th July, ls4s, as
the grand denouement of system of operations
which were to reflect perpetual honor on the coun-
try. The present Administration, having thus
learned from their predecessors that there to be
no more annexation south of the Gila river, are
now assailed, by the same organs which proclaimed
the virtues Of the treaty with Mexico, for having
agreed with the Government Of Great Britain which,
in right Of the Mosquito King, held one half of Cen
trail America, not to occupy that distant country,
which is more than fifteen hundred miles south of
the Ultima Thule of " annexation" Z" which they
themselves have prescribed. When we shall have
taken all the British and Russian North American
possessions, Lower California the Sierra Madre
provinces swallowed the rest of Mexico, Yucatan,
British Honduras, and all the West India Islands,
shall have little difficulty in breaking the treaty
which binds us not to devour the weak little sister
Republics of Central America also. Those who
shall violate the solemn treaty with Mexico will
find no qualms of conscience about any thing else.
With the appetite Of the tiger and the digestion of
athe anaconda, shall realize all the anticpations
of Anacharsis Cloots, the Orator of the Human
Race. How pleasant is it not to contemplate these
mighty accessions at this particular juncure of po-
litica affairs, when, in the judgment Of the very men
who hold these doctrines of annexation, the Union
is on the of breaking up on account of the ac-
QUESTIONS of California and New Mexico

THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION IN TEXAS.
A correspondent at Houston writes as follows
to the New York Tribune respecting the prospects
for the Nashville Convention in Texas:
The Nashville Convention dead horse here, as the
saying is. Not in voted for it, ard wherever poll
opened it the votes fifty against it,
Isras aats dsunion, and will repudate the Of the

And yet, notwithstanding the adverse sentiment
of the people of Texas, we may expect to hear of
persons appearing in the Nashville Convention in
her name, in the of Virginia and other States
whose people have in like manner repudiated that
Convention.
