article upon this treaty and the various influ
ences brought to bear TO secure Its adoption u
Mexico. aud BY the President There is sequel
10 this history Of which the Tribune is ignorant
as yet, but which ought equally to be spread
before the public. A Senator said to me the
other day, in this connection, that he hardly
knew who to trust--that it seemed to him as il
everything about him was reeking with corrup-
ton expressed my conviction that such D
treaty could not be confirmed, but he felt no
such assurance. A few days must settle the
point
The bill introduced some time ago in the
House, by Mr.. Ghurchwell, Of Tenn, for the
transportation Of the mail to California, paying
therefor at a rate to be determined BY the speea

Col, Forney, Clerk Of the House, and reputed
editor of the Union, will not resign his cerkship
He ought to be thrust out OF it. The House
aeyer should have elected him to the post; but
since he has voluntarily deserted it and set "
"a a censor Of the legislators, instead Of thei,
Recorder, he ought to be released from the les
ser duty instead Of receiving therefor $4,000 ano
