to take posse and 60 and hunt him up, and
return him to his master. And said procla-

WARRINGTON, March =.
Mr.. Cas- presented the joint resolution Of
the Legislature Of Michigan, on the subject
OF slavery in the territories, instructing their
representatives TO resist the admission OF
any more slave States in the Union.
Mr.. Cass said that he knew the value Of
time at this period of the session, and there
fore should not detain the Senate only a
short time.
1t would be observed from the reading of
the resolution that his colleague and himself
were placed in situation requiring some ex-
PLANTATION. 1t was not pleasant state for
Senator to dissent from the resolution and
disobey instructions Of the Legislature OF
bis State.
The resolutions say, whereas, the instruc-
tions heretofore disregarded, notwishsta nd

The New Mexican Treaty.

There has been a variety OF rumors in cir
culation in regard to the character of the
new Mexican treaty. The New York Herald
gives glowing account OF the treaty, and
Of the territory and privileges secured to
the United States by its stipula,ions. We
have no doubt, however, that the Herald
guessed wide Of the mark.
We presume the true state Of the case to
be, that Mr.. Forsyth has sent on the project
Of treaty containing the following PROPOSE
tons and none other, which are to be accepted
or rejected without alteration. There is not a
word about the sale Of any portion of the
Mexican Territory in Lower California, So
nora, or any place else, or any privileges
whatever
The FIRST condition is reciprocity between
the United States and Mexico, processing to
be founded on the basis OF the commercial
convention with Canada.
: ID. A loan of fifteen millions Of dollars,
30 be secured by liens on Mexican revenues
OF twenty per cent, and thirteen per cent.
on particular articles respectively, cgh,
millions to be paid over to Mexico four mil
liens to satisfy British liens on revenues, and
three millions to be named for American
claims.
Sd. A commission to be established for
adjudication Of claims Of citizens OF the
United States against Mexico.
4th. A Postal treaty between the United
States and Mexico, founded upon the basis
Of that contemplated by General Gadsden.

According to the Treasury estimates, there
are in the country about $3.50, 00O, 900 of
gold, of which little more than fifth il in
the banks-leaving little short Of $500, OOO,-
900 to be found elsewhere. The Treasury
boards very commonly from twenty to twen-
ty-fve millions--leaving probably $l75,
OoO, 900 to be sought among the people
Where, however, are these numerous boast
ed millions I In uses That the gold and
silver in actual use does not exceed one dol
lar per head Of the population, our readers
may readily be satisfied. To avoid cayil.
however, We will make it $4,000, 900, or
nearly So per head-being ut least twice the
quantity 10 actual use. There remains, how
ever, more than $l20,O00,OO0. Where ars

are they boarded? Because no man among

SMALL HoRsEs.-The argument may be in
favor of the great size, but the facts are the
other way. Large horses are more liable to
stumble and be lame than those Of middle
size. They are clumsy and cannot gil them

unnatural growth. They have risen above
the usual mark, and it costs more to keep
them in position than il would were they on
