recommend this treaty to the Government and people
Of the United States and anticipate its eventual adoption
for the following considerations
1t relieves from responsibility assumed
by the treaty Of Guadalupe The magnitude Of this
sponsbiity the uncertainty of its ISSUE the certainty of
unpleasant differences between the nations, and the
harsh criticisms to which they would subject u.s. all
should inspire our Government with high qualification at
the opportunity Of relief which the treaty affords Haras
sing disputes, angry criticism, perhaps brutal and demo-
razing war; all evaded; and quiet friendship, and
it may be, reputation, promoted.
The boundary is uncertain and underlined. Who can
undertake to that unless it be determined the issue
will not be another savage war; viii B., who has turn
for estimating in current coin the value Of the acqus
ons under this treaty. venture to state the number of
dollars boundary thus obtained will cost in human life
current expenses and pensions. Can arithmetic deter
mine the loss sustained in the decentralization of ad
venturous young by series Of Mexican campaigns?
We gain BY this treaty right Of way to the Pacific
do profess any acquaintance with the merits of the
different routes but have been told by those who
mar with the subject that the route this territory
several hundred miles shorter than any other and has
other advantages greatly esteemed by engineers.
The conercal value Of the land claims the first and
almost exclusive attention of your correspondent Pan
nit doubt whether his information this point Is
exact than that Of any other person. Subordinate
this view of the subject is, his calculation, nowith
standing the proyerbal precision of numerical figures
cannot be admitted having more authority than that
due to wild guess The country is reputed TO be Of i'm
mense value account of the minerals which said
to be abundant than in any part of the known world
My evidence this point however like that of friend
b. is worth nothing The Government will get the best
information accessible to It,
The commercial value of the territory, however, is
repeat most subordinate consideration; the political
advantages of its acquisition being paramount desert
island coast worth nothing to farmer or miner, is
oten in the estimation of statesman, OF incaculable
value The commercial value of the Island of Jamaica
has been utterly destroyed by the British Government
yet far from regarding it worthless possession, that
could not be tempted to sell for the price
Cuba maintains the island at great cost valung
the possession solely by the estimates of British states
Those of Scotch farmers and Cornish miners are
never required by them &C."

THE TREATY WITH MEXICO.

To The Editors OF the Latellgsncer.
GENTLEMEN: In recommending to the country Col.
GApspESs treaty with Mexico it was no part OF my de-
sign to degrade the subject by the introduction of party,
far less partzan politics Your correspondent never
theess assumes that disposed to censure the late
Administration because it necessary for me, in re-
marking upon the treaty to narrae the transactions OF
our Government with Mexico anterior to the treaty. in
order that the state of the negotiation should be appre
caed at the time when Col Gadsden assumed its conduct
Your correspondent parties an imaginary blow at the
Cabinet of Mr. Fillmore, turning it with increased mo-
msntum towards Senator Mason. have nothing to say
upon these matters, and quite indifferent to them
stated facts the basis Of argument and no
necessity for producing my authority for them they
are groundles, the reasoning upon them is good for

THE GADSDEN TREATY.

To the Editors Of The National Iatelligsncer:
Perceivng that controversy has arisen in reference
the treaty lately made by Gen. GApspEN with Mexico
ask the privilege of saying few words on the subject
and particularly to the value Of the territory which
the United States will acquire by it. would not enter
into the discussion it not that having travelled
considerable portion Of Northern Mexico including the
district embraced in the contemplated purchase, believe
know at least much about it some who express
opinions with much confidence on the subject.
The details of this treaty have yet been officially
made known, yet find in the Mobile and Charleston
papers sufficient to show what they are the facts having
in all probability been furnished by Gen. GADsDEN him
self. Let what to obtain for the twenty
millions Of dollars which are to be paid to Mexico. I
place them in the order of their relative value

article Of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
?. route for railway to the Pacific.
3. Forty millions Of acres of land lying south Of the
iila and between the Rio Grande and the Colorado.
4. The Arezonia gold and silver mines III
5. A settlement Of the Garay grant.
The frsnamed item on our list is certainly an i'm
porant consideration The obligations imposed by
the treaty protect the Mexican frontier from the incur
sons of the Indians have not been complied with by u.s.
although We have incurred an annual expense of more
than two millions in the effort. We have not succeeded
in checking the savages their nroads during the past
year having been as frequent as before
But must not be inferred from this although relieved
from the obligation to indemnify Mexico for losses under
this article that shall be saved the two three millions
year which it costs to support army the frontier
Far from it. Our people will have be protected
for the savage is still there. We have in vain tried to
control him by treaties Nothing will restrain his love
OF punder and blood and we driven to sad, me-
lanchoy alternative But will not enter into this ques
ton It is enough to say that with line of five hun
dred additional miles of boundary protect annual
expense for so doing win be sweled from two and half
to four or hve millions say additional line for If this
new territory is to be occupied and effort made to
populate it, we shall require many additional military

THE MEXICAN TREATIES.
,oR THE NATIONAL 1SrEILIaEscKR.

PoR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENcER. @ ~.
1t is my purpose into the discussion in
ation either the Conkng Gadsden treaties but
repeated illusions have been made to the of Mr.
Plmores administration, beg to call attention to his
language expressed in his letter to President Arita
1t is as follows:
Independently Of the right which some Of our citi-
claim under the Garay grant to open this commun
cation would be matter Of great indifference to the
citizens Of this Republic whether such communication
constructed by the subjects Of Great Britain, the
citizens Of Mexico those Of any other country AL
that ask is that the best and safest mode of ntercom
munication shall be established Of which the nature Of
the country will admit and that it will be open and free
to the Of the whole world without any exclu-
siye right in any nation and under the sole jurisdiction
of Mexico hersef(See Ex. Doc No. 81, lst session Of
sd Cong, PIP. l57, l5S.
will also call attention to preamble and resolution
which adopted almost unanimously by the Memphis
Convention June last after the contract with Sloo was
made and Mr.. Conkng had made treaty project Of
| treaty with Mexico:
Whereas the projsct OF opening communication be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by railroad acros
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec recommends itself to thu
support Of the whole Union and particularly to thu
of the Western and Southwestern States, by its
practicaby, the facility and cheapness of its construc
ton, well the short time required for its completion
thus ardng to the and travel Of only
United States but the world cheap and easy to
the Pacific coasts
Re,oved therefore, That our Representatives in Con-
gress be requested press upon Ae Government the
cessity Of bringing favorable termination, as
possible the negotiations pending in regard to the right
Of way said ishmus; and that they be also in
structed maintain all legitimate constitutional
rights Of American citizens in the grants made by the
Mexican Government"
This is broad enough to cover both treaties and shows
the deep interest felt in the completion Of road acros:
