We have reason to believe that the new Bri-
iish treaty, which has just been concluded by
Mr. Dallas. and which win shortly be laid before
The Senate Tor confirmation, is one of the most
important diplomatic documents that have

ID will he remembered that when the United
States and Great Britain ratified the famous
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, considerable dis-atisfac-
ton was felt on this eide Of the water. II was
;be opinion Of many that the United States
shoud not have departed from their policy Of
avoiding entsnging alliances, and should have
pursued their policy in Central America, indie
pendent Of and without regard to Great Britain.
There was no doubt considerable cogeDcy in
the arguments At the same time one can uu-

justified by the strict language Of the treaty

the ratification Of that treaty, British ag-

Central America would he at an end. How that
anticipation was disappointed. the world knows
Great Britain chose 10 interpret the treaty as de-
barring her from future conquests not from pre-
sent possessions or even a conversion Of sguattcr
into actual territorial rights and thus the only
object which bad Induced the United States to
make treaty With Great Britain at all Oh the
subject Of Central America, was lost
Under these circumstances Mr.. Buchanan be-
gan, and Mr. Dallas has concluded negotiation
which Il may be presumed has finally settled this
vexed matter. As Great Britain could not be

AN INCIDENT.

During Mr.. Folks canvass of the State,
a rich scene occurred at a tavern in
Franklin county, where he stopped. The
son of the Emerald Isle, late importations,
having heard that Mr.. Polk was there,
wished 10 see him. Pat makes wager
with his partner Of a pint Of whiskey,
which was readily taken, that he could
not only see Mr.. Polk, but dine with him.
Pat enters the dinner room, meets the
porter, and asks to see that great man
Mr. Polk that's going to be Governor OF
the Stale" You cannot sec him, for lie
and three othe: gentlemen are dining at

him, tell YOU" "Wel jast open the
door a wee bit var, and let me peep in."
We'll, there he is-that man with long
head at the end OF the table,
As soon rs the door WAS opened Pat ran
up to the table, with, low are yees, Mis-
ther Polk? I'm pleased to see you, and
