The will of majority of the propriety holders of
this city. Nor will the Common Council sanction
such an outrage on justice and property. The In

people of this city in contempt OF law and OF the

want to know If the Common Council mean to
sanction this novel theory of arstocratic domina-

The Penny Post, replies to the remarks Of the
Lynchburg Virginian, relative to the completion of
the dock connection. The Post thinks the anfago
nism manifested by the Virginian towards Rich
mond, il unbecoming.
The Whig in an article headed "The One Man
Power makes various charges against the present
President Of the United States, who, conscious of
his unfness for the Presidential office, and con.
scious of his inability to originate any measure or
series of measures tending to the welfare of the
country or his own personal advancement, has
seemed all the time anxious to signalize his ad
ministration of the government by petty acts OF
petty tyranny-by shameless and wanton abuse
of the power vested in him and by an unscrupu
lous usurpation of those rights and that authority
which the Constitution had wisely assigned to
other branches Of the government" The chief of
the charges brought by the Wing to sustain these
assertions, are first the attempt of the President
to coerce the New York Hards into the ranks of
the softs by the exercise of Executive power-and
second, the late affair at San Juan which, says the
Wing, was an act of war undertaken by the Presi-
dent, without shadow of right, upon his own re.
sponsibility, and without the knowledge or con-
sent of Congress-the only war making power
known to the constitution or laws.

provide for right of way Tehuantepec for the
transportation of the United States mails and NOR.

without interfering in any with the conflicting
claims of rival companies.
Upon motion Of Nr. Rusk, the boundary was slightly
altered TO take in the disputed Meslla Valley and
somewhat south OF the line designated at the time
the treaty rejected.
Mr.. Mason then moved to increase the compensation
to ten millions, which was carried
The treaty therefore, az ratified, extnguishes the
claims under the eleventh article of the treaty Guada

disputed Mesila Valley question, giving the United
States the boundary at the initial point upon this side

Mr. BARTLETT and Secretary Stuart and It gives the
right o. way Tehuantepcc, though that privilege
is somewhat indefinite For these concessions Santa
Anna is to receive ten millions Of dollars On the other
hand the treaty does not give port the Gulf Of
California nor does Il give us as much territory rs
negotiated for by Cen Gadsdcn In fact the additional
territory acquired will not affect in any way present
territorial organization in that quarter.
There very little doubt that Santa Anna will cheer

however it finally settled the injunction of sccresy
will not be removed from the Senate proceedings.
