The New Treaty With B1exico-Free Tram
sit and Commercial Privileges.
The United States steamer-ofwar Brooklyn
arrived at New Orleans the day before yester-
day, from Vera Cruz, with Mr.. McLane ON
board, and the treaty with Mexico which he
has just concluded with President Juarez
This treaty is substantially the same that was
arranged last summer, but which was not
signed because of certain temporary difficult
ties. We have already given the points Of the
treaty, but they are of a character SO important
that we repeat them here. 1t stipulates:--
perpetual right Of way and free transit for Ameri
can mails citizens and property across the Isthmus OF
Rio Grande to Mazaan on the Pacific and also on road
from Arizona 70 port the Gulf OF California with free
warehouses At the tsrnini Of each line OF transit.
Goods shipped from transit warehouses to foreign
countries to he frec'bf mpost
Our troops military stores and munitions Of war 70
have free passage from ocean, Tehuante
pee from Arizona by tho road from port on
The Gulf Oh California through Ssaora.
a. The neutrality Of the transit rs guaranteed by both
governments, each 10 employ force for its projection
necessary, with or without the consent Of the ohsr.
g. Perfect religions freedom is 70 be guaranteed 70 Anne
them and the right Of intervention 10 project them when
necessary and TO enforce tho treaty spuatons coded
O. Four millions Of dollars 70 be paid to Mexico BY the
United States for these CONCESSIONS half OF which IL
appropriated 70 the payment OF claims Of American cat
zens
This is one Of the most important friendly
treaties ever made by our government, and it
must produce material effects of a marked cha
racter to both countries at no distant day.
While it will give to Mexico the prospect Of an
early settlement of her civil disturbances, it
will at the same time act as an immediate
stimulus to trade with and through her terri
tory, which will vastly strengthen the elements
of order there. The first fruits will be gathered
in the effects upon the development Of Arizo-
now lies fallow from the want of an easy water
communication with the markets of the world.
This is safely opened through the port
which is opened to us on the Gulf Of
California and the short land transit
through the State of Sonora. In connection
with the opening of this new California we
may state that arrangements are now on foot
which will bring Guaymas within twenty days
travel of New York by regular steam commu-
nication, and gentleman left here on Tuesday
by way of Panama to perfect the arrangements
for the running of steamers from Acapulco to
the Gulf of California. Under this arrange
ment tide of emigration will be poured into
Arizona before the coming year has closed
that will at once create new State for this
Union on the golden-shored Pacific.

Mazatlan, and across Tehuantepec, are of even
greater Importance though prospective in
their realization. In the stipulations of the
present treaty the system Of free isthmus tran
sit is secured, and will serve hereafter as the
type for our treaty arrangements with all the
isthmus republics. Had similar care and fore
sight been taken in this respect to that which
Mr. Buchanan has exhibited in the present in
stance, the development of our transisthmus
trade would not have been retarded as it has
been for the last half dozen years by transit
route squabbles and filibustering. The protec.
ton which is guaranteed to our merchants in
Mexico by this treaty will produce an equally
beneficial effect upon our trade with that coun-
try; and besides the increase that must accrue.
from the greater security Of our citizens, this
very fact will tend to concentrate the foreign
trade of that republic into their hands.
We learn from authentic sources that the
conclusion of this treaty was brought about by
the joint efforts of Senior Lerdo and Senior
Ocampo in the Cabinet of President Juarez.
These gentlemen have supported from the first
the policy it developers; but the signing of the
treaty was delayed by the coming of Senior
Lerdo to this country last fall, and the fact
that change in the Juarez Cabinet occurred
for time by the entrance of Senior Fuente in
the place of Senior Ocampo as Secretary Of
Foreign Affairs. The return of the latter gen.
tleman to this post, and Of Senior Lerdo to the
Cabinet, has carried out the policy that was
initiated last summer. Both countries will de-
rive immense advantages from the now treaty,
and 1t is to be hoped that it will be ratified by
the Senate at an early day.
Political CI.AQuERs-App1AUsE ACCORDING
TO ORDER-It appears that some of the cut and
dried inside speeches at the late Academy
Union meeting were not only printed before
hand, but were plentifally interlarded in the
printed slips with CHEERS" applause" great
applause" &C., and that on the delivery of
said speeches the applause" CHEERS" &C.,
were, according to the Journal Of Commerce,
all put in exactly Gin the right places" We
presume that the claque was brought in from
Tammany, or was adopted from the idea that
such an institution is attached to the Italian
Opera; but for great Independent political
demonstration, we prefer the offhand speeches
and the spontaneous applause of the truly in
dependent outside Scott meetings.
