NEW JyHLBaNSs Jdus OUT
DEAR ConHT After posting my
letter Of the 18th and getting up town,
| learned that the steamer Texas had
arrived from Mexico, bringing, not only
important intelligence, but also Genl.
Gadsden, our Minister To- that country
with very important treaty, which
has been negotiated between Uucle
Sam and Uncle Santa. Mr.. Gadsden
did not remain here long enough to
let the newsmongers get hold Of the
entire contents Of the new treaty, bit
as some Of its stipulations Fere limited
at, which are also confirmed by the
reports, circulating at Vera Cruz, when
the steamer left that port, ] will re-
peat them for your benefit. First,
Uncle Sam buys the Messilla Valley,
for which be pays Uncle Santa some
20 to 23,ooo,oo0 dollars, the purchase
includes a large portion Of Sonora,
and it is also said all Lower California.
BY this transaction the treaty Of Gaud
aloupe 1fidalgo is done away with, and
those tribes of Mexican Indians that
have 50 long scot,rged the northern
frontier Of Mexico will come under
Uncle Sans thumb, and stop will
at once be put to their lawless ravages.
Second, all the difficulties relative to
the Tehuantepeo way are removed and
the railway will at once be put in pro-
gress. Third, Genl. Lombardini is
dead, and Santa's old and faithful
friends, Alrn6nte and Wool have been
elevated to the rank of Lieutenant
Generals. Fourth, The Walker repub-
lie had Wathea off ION keen Jump
rather faster than is Convenient at
times; at least so many Of that band
Of heroes as were SO fortunate to be
able to get away with whole SKINS
Now, one can give a very clear and
propable prophecy Of the future Of
Mexico. The hand Of Uncle Sam,
though light and unfelt, is neverthe-
less strong and vigorous. We have
got possession Of all Of her worthless
territory on her North, we have got a
line Of transit over her reserved do
minions and we shall not be slow to
make use of so important an advan-
tage. Mexico won't get it back in u
hurry, but will be- more likely to loose
more with it, Finally, Santa Anna
will die peaceably, it may be and his
successor to the Mexican Throne will
be burly Brother Jonathan, and no
one else, and thus the absorption of
Mexico will end-"So mote it be-" as
Dow, jr. says.
You will see by The files Of most of
our city papers, have recently been
greatly exercised about n badly writ
ten and worse spelled palcard which
appeared the other morning on all the
walls and at every corner, calling in
four different tongues, upon the peo-
pie Of this city to prevent the lauding
Of Mr.. Bedini, the Pope's Nuncio. II
is time that those who come here from
foreign lands to make Our country
their home, should b. taught that the
illiberal and tyranical spirit which may
do in Europe, is not the spirit that
governs Americans. Bedini and Hay
nau, Georgia and Nicholas, and all
the rest of the tyrants and traitors of
Europe, should be allowed to come
and 60, see and I've seen, and do Just as |
they like, 50. they behave themselves,
without let or hihdrance or insult
from American citizens. When any |
of these fellows want to get up muss
with us we will all turn in and give
them sound drubbing, but so long
rs any one comes to this country un-
der the flag Of pcace, let that flag be
sacred, and that person be allowed
every freedom and privlledge compati-
bic with oar laws and our government.
The coal dealers have denied that
there was great supply Of coal on
hand at the beginning of the late cold
weather, but their denial is IN words
that may be construed several ways,
while they do not assert that there was
not enough if properly distributed to
prevent any suffering from want Of
fuel among those who are not able to
pay extraordinarily for any Of the com
forts of life.
