The TREATY WITH MExIco.--For the sum
Of $20,000,000, Mexico surrenders all claim for
indemnity under the 18th article of the treaty
of Guadalupe, by which the United States stip-
ulated to restrain the Indians within our terrific
ry from committing depredations within the
Mexicans, and also cedes to us an immense
tract of country, embracing a part Of chihuahua
and about a third Of the Department Of Sonora,
where are valuable gold mines, and including al
so the Mesila valley. The whole territory ced-
ed is 100000 acres; equal in extent to the
States of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
and Massachusetts. 1t extends from the Rio
Grande to, or near to the Gulf of California
The Peninsula Of California, commonly called
Lower California, is not included. The terrific
ry thus acquired affords an easy route for rail
road from Texas to the Pacific. 1t is proposed
to form it into Territory, to be called Arreso-
mia. We can't say that we are greatly pleased
with the name. We hope a better one will be
found. This is a very important treaty, and
will no doubt be promptly ratified by the Sem
ate. Santa Ana has already ratified it on the
part of Mexico, and it only remains for us to ex-
change Publications with the Mexican Minister
at Washington, OH which occasion $3,000,000
are TO be paid in cash. This Territory will, of
course, fall into the same category with New
Mexico and Utah, as to the question of slavery,
the people being left to decide for themselves
whether they will have that curse or not

PUBLIC MEETINe.-We trust there will DO a
general turn out to the meeting, on Saturday
evening. The Township Board have determin-
ed to be governed by the sense Of that meeting
ia their future course relative to the New Liquor
Law. So the question for deliberation is wheth-
err said law shall continue to be observed
among us or not. Thus far it has here been en-
forced, with good effect, and with the decided
approval Of our people generally. Public sem
tment, too, is now, as much as ever before in
favor of the prohibitory principle, but doubts
are entertained by some, as to the propriety of
engaging in further litigation, now that the con-
stitutional question is left in so much uncertain
ty. The Board, we understand, decidedly favor
the idea of going ahead, whenever occasion de-
mands with the work they have commenced,
provided they receive an assurance that such a
course will be in accordance with the general
wish of the community.
The subject to be brought before the meeting
is one of sufficient Importance to engage the at
tention of every good citizen 1t is desirable
to have such an attendance as will fairly repre-
sent the opinions of all, and enable the prevail
ing sentiment of the people to be clearly ascer-
tanned.

REPEAL OF THE FRANKLIN CANAL CHARTER.
The Cleveland Herald of Saturday says:
"Ihe Pennsylvania Legislature has repealed
dhe Franklin canal company's charter If this
has any effect at all, it invalidates that portion
OF the Lake shore road extending from the Ohio
State line to the city of Erie; but it is presum-
ed that the action of the Pennsylvania legislature
in the premises will prove harmless matter
Ii 1t should become necessary to carry the repeal
ing act into the Supreme Court of the u. States,
it would certainly be pronounced utterly null
and void. But it is understood that Pennsylva-
mia wiki at once legaliae the existing road, by the
passage of another act for that purpose. The
repeating act was passed merely to yindicate the
dignity Of the State!"

ENFOR REGIMENT OF THE HIGHER
LAW.

The troubles ut Erie are realization Of the
doctrine Of higher law than the constitution
and laws Of the country. The existing state of
things in that locality are a fair demonstrations
OF the consequences that will arise from limited
communities or single individuals setting up u
standard of action outside of and above the con-
sttuted authorities, and enforcing their ideas of
right, no matter to what extent they conflict
with the rights Of the rest of the world beside
The power of the mob is supreme in Erie The
inJunctions Of courts of justice have no force
there. The "higher law" PREVAILS and CON-
mands obedience TO its behess.
II Erie does not become another Sodom, it
VIII be because OF the suspension of natural
Jaws. HOW many honest men there are to flee
fiom the Impending ruin we have no idea, but if
such there be in the fated borough. thew will not
be slow in making their escape. Erie must be.
come deserted city. No community can so far
disregard their obligations to society at large,
and so tar outrage the moral sense of mankind.
and survive the inevitable consequences of sins
so objectionable. The place will be Stunned as
| pestientia. Its name will be a stencil in the
nostrs Of the whole country.
| But we must not single out Erie as the chief
of sinners in the work Of MULTIPLYING the laws
The enormity of her offence is great, but it does
not exceed that of some prominent examples
which she has found it convenient to follow
examples to discover whose source need not oc-
cupy much time. "They are to be found" to
adopt the language of n contemporary, Gin the
seditious writings and teachings of those who,
to gain their own ends, have perseveringly en-
deavorcd to supersede the law of the land by
continual reference to higher law. The dem
agogues who applaud resistance to the Fugitive
Slave Law, and who teach their hearers TO reve
the constitution, are the real authors of the spir-
it of INSTRUMENTATION and lawlessness which is
abroad. Tell the untutored masses that one Of
those great principles which constitute the
groundwork of society is unjust, rreligious, and
contrary TO the spirit Of reason and truth, and
they will logically conclude that submission to
the others may be safely discarded. The men
who tore up the railroad track at Eric did not
think that they were guilty of 4 greater wrong
than the higher law men Of Syracuse; and We
confess we see no material difference between
the two shades of infamy though. the one was
gloritied and the other assailed by the organs Of
William ii. Seward. He may discriminate be-
tween crimes which serve no purpose and crimes
which raise him to power, but the public, daily
taught by his organs TO sheer at marriage, to
spit on the constitution, to resist acts of Con-
gress, and to trample on the law of the land,
cannot be expected to draw such fine distinctions.
He and his allies are rightly responsible for the
outrages which have taken place at Erie and else
where. Det. Free Press

LAND OFFICE REPoRT.-The annual report
of Commissioner KIBBEE, copy of which is
before us, gives a concise and at the same time
gratifying exhibit of the business at the State
Land Office, for the last fiscal year, ending Nov
3Oth 1853.
The amount of sales made, within the year,
is large beyond precedent, and is indicative Of
the eagerness with which the wild lands of our
State are now being sought after, both for &C.
cupancy and for purposes of speculation.
The sale of Primary School Lands has in
creased to 4S,S5O acres, from 1862 acres, the
total amount sold during the year preceding.
The sale of University Lands has increased
from l,049 to 1851 acres; Of Normal School
Lands from 1905 to 1927 acres; and of Asy-
lum Lands, from $50 to 1892 acres.
Respecting the Swamp Lands the Commits
sioner says
ave have received lists and diagrams of these
lands for the Detroit and Kalamazoo land districts,
amounting to Ala "a acres.
The public Press, in some sections of the State,
have questioned the propriety of bringing these
lands into market, and deem it proper to explain
what conceive to be a duty required by the law
providing for their sale.
The lists were received about four months
since, and believing it favorable time to offer
them, / have given notice of the sale, part of
which to be offered at Port Huron and the bal
ance ut this office.
Act No 1877, of 1851, provides that the Com
missioner of the State Land Office shall have the
control and supervision of said lands, and of the
sale thereof and shall as the title vess IN the
State cause the same to be sold ut public auction
at such times and in such quantities rs he may
think proper
:" 1t will be seen by the provisions of the act
above referred TO, that the duty imposed upon the
Commissioner is not discretionary, but imperative.
Sufficient information has been received at this
office, to warrant the conclusion that this munifi
cent donation amounts to over 100000 of acres
q much larger area of acres than all prior grants
by Congress to this State, and if prndently hus-
banded, will eXtinguish our State debt, after APP
plying reasonable amount for drainage and
leave n surplus to the cause of education.
"What q State Will Michigan be when free of
debt--wth q revenue beyond the wants Of the
State Government, without taxation beyond the
specific taxes provided by law.
I" All of which is respectfully submitted.
PORTER KIBBEE, Commissioner"

REAL ESTATE IN MILwAUKEE-Property is
rapidly increasing in value in this city. City lots
have been sold recently, showing an Increase of
one-third within one year. This is owing partly
to the increased prosperity of the city, and part
ly to the expectation of large increase of value
of real estate consequent upon the completion
of numerous railroads now projected and in pro-
gress all pointing to this city. The price at
which property is held here, is nearly, if not
quite, as much as it is in Chicago that is, out
side of circles affected by the specializing mania.

The LIQUOR LAw.-The results arrived at in
the liquor cases, before the Supreme Court,
were announced on the LIST inst. In the case
against Collins, which was argued before a full
bench, the court was equally divided in opinion,
four deciding in favor, and four against the law.
This case, consequently goes back to the Wayne
Circuit for the decision of Judge Douglass, one
of the Judges who held the law unconstitution-
al. In the Brewers case, at the argument of
which Judge Copeland was absent, it was deci-
ded, by four against three, that the law is con-
stitutional The decision soon to be given in
the Collins case is awaited with interest, as it is
considered questionable by many, whether
Judge Douglass will hold law unconstituton.
al which has once been sustained by the Su-
preme Court.
We can yet hardly form an opinion as to what
course will be pursued in view of this state Of
the question, but we are inclined to think that
efforts will continue to be made for the purpose
of securing an enforcement of the law. We
have already heard that such is the case in diff
ferent places, but the reports are conflicting.
The uncertainty which now hangs over this
matter is much to be regretted. 1t is not only
leading to much protracted litigation, but in
many instances is, doubtless, doing much to des
troy the efficacy of n law which, if not fully
equal to the expectations of its most sanguine
friends, has certainly had nm effect for the bet
ter that has been clearly observable.

CRUSHING ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PACIFIC
RAnRoAD-The Philadelphia Ledger recently
brought to light difficulty hitherto unthought
of. connected with travelling, or any attempt to
travel, by railroad across the vast plains and
mountains intervening between us and the Pa
cfc Ocean. 1t is know that immense herds of
buffaloes range over the regions to be traversed
by the projected road. The fact that these an
finals are very short sighted both in physical and
intellectual vision, and that when alarmed they
rush together with tremendous force, and
bear down all distractions in their course, salts
fies the Ledger that the idea of travelling safely
through their domain by railroad cars would be
terrible mistake. The st. Louis Herald we'll
takes off the profound deductions of the Ledger,
and to show the ease with which mob of ex-
asperated buffalo bulls could overturn railway
train and scatter it in twinkling, he gives us
the following mathematical calculation
"a bull buffalo will weigh 1000 pounds; and
will rush on train at the rate of Is feet sec
ond. Surprising car to be 80 feet long, and
the assault upon it to be made at right angles,
about l5 buffaloes would reach it at the same in
slant. Is buffaloes would weigh $4,000 lbs
Now, rs the momentum of moving body is
compounded of its weight and velocity multiple
ed together, 10000 pounds of buffalo beef CON-
ING down at the rate of Is feet second would
bring on to the car at the moment of collision,
465,OOO pounds AS the car would weigh prob
ably not more titan 5000 pounds, here would be
100000 pounds against 5000; giving odds
against the car of more than 774 times. This
is truly fearful. Who need be told that no car
could live in such storm as this? What mag
nation is so dull that cannot see terrific visions
of broken heads, and fractured limbs and bleed
ing bodies; the moan, the groan, the scream and
the shrek; the woful spectacle of men past sur

THE USE OF FAME.-It is stated in an Albany

the art as provision for his future subsistence.
A few months ago, he was near setting two

fame TO gallant sea-captain, while he wrapped

AUSTRIAN OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN CITI-
zEN.-Austran officials have been committing
another outrage on a subject of the u. States
the Rev. James Cook Richmond, "presbyter of
the Anglo Catholic Church" and one of the cor
respondents of the Daily NeUS. After setting
the police to watch him, causing anonymous let
tiers to be written to him, and he believes, OPEN
ling his correspondence, he was on the 25ih Of
December waited on by the commander of the
gendarnes at Kecskemet, in Hungary, who init
mated that he had orders from the highest au-
thorites in Hungary TO subject the whole of
Mr.. Richmonds personal effects to an examina-
ton.
Mr.. Richmond protested against this invasion
of the sacred private rights of an American cit
izen, and was then told that he must remain in
custody until the official had telegraphed to
Pesth for further orders. The result of these
orders was that between four and five o'clock
on the morning of the 18th he was reused from
his bed by gendarme, who compelled ljm to
leave Kecskemet in jolly wagon and, amidst
violent snow storm and over frozen roads, con-
veyed him to Felegyhaza. There he arrived two
hours before the midday train, by which he had
voluntarily promised to leave, but so exhausted
that he could not continue his journey.
AT night he hoped to rest; but three gen.
darmes burst into his room, and threatened 10
shoot him if he did not RISE He demonstrated,
showed his passports, covered with signatures
of Austrian ambassadors, and pointing to the
word America" told them that the President
of the United States had declared that the rights
of an American citizen should not be violated
with impunity; but, with brutal, coarse, and dis
gushing mnuteness, they searched him, took
from him his papers and money, and told him lie
was under arrest. He was then taken to the
guard-room, subjected to another search, and
then left to sleep, if sleep he could, amidst drink.
ing, quarreing, and gambling gendarmes.
In the morning he asked permission to write
to the American ambassador in Vienna, but this
was refused. At 10 O'Clock he was taken TO
the Bittmeister, who, having become alarmed at
the possible consequence of these proceedings,
offered to restore his passports and set him Mt
liberty, if he would Immediately depart. This
offer was refused. A detailed account of these
proceedings has been forwarded to the U. States
and Mr.. Richmond doubts not that the President
will stake immediate and decided steps" in this
important matter.
