THE TEHUANTEpEC QUESTION.

The Senate yesterday ordered the printing of the
Correspondence and Documents communicated to
that body on the 2Sth instant, by the President OF
the United States, in relation TO the Tehuantepec
Treaty. These documents, we learn, extending
over period of nearly three years, are very vo-
luminous and Astounding in interest In the CORE
sponienoe Of our Minister in Mexico, for instance,
indignant complaint is made of the conduct OF some
of the citizens of the United States, residents of
New York, Washington, and other places, in inter
fering with the Treaty, by writing to the President
of Mexico, as well as to Members of Congress and
private individuals of that Republic, urging its re-
lection Publications in large numbers, he says,
have been transmitted to that country, defending
and iustifying the Mexican Government in its op-
position to the Treaty In of his letters he re-
marks . I expected and was fully prepared to meet
opposition of all kinds from this country, and from
other countries, but | am free TO say did not
look for i from my own country. lire in the
rear took me by surprise" In another letter,
dated on the Sth of April last, speaking of the
" Garay grant," Mr.. LETCHER says "The few
deputies who we're favorably disposed towards the
measure, knowing perfectly well that they would
be instantly denounced traitors to their country
in case they voted for it, deemed it expedient to
absent themselves from the Chamber when the
: vote was taken. Such was the intemperate and
uncompromising hostility to the Garay grant that
no Mexican, in or out of the Chamber, not even
those who held direct interest in it, dared to
whisper single word in its support.
The publication of these Documents will no doubt
be anxiously looked for by the Public In the
mean time we give publicity to two very interesting

PRESIDENT Of the UNITED STATES to the PREsI-
DENT Of MExco and the reply of the latter thereto
