FAILURE OF THE MEXICAN TREATY

We transfer to our columns highly inter
esting account of Mr.. McLanes effort to make
a treaty with Mexico and of the circumstances
which prevented his contamination of that
object. 1t is clear that the greedy and grasping
spirit of the Administration, in requiring a ces-
sion of territory on the part of Mexico, has pre-
vented the ratification of highly advantageous
treaty with that Government. The outlines of
the treaty to which Mexico assented insured
indemnity to American citizens for injuries !;
the right of way across her territory was con-
ceded.; and the outlines of liberal commercial
policy were agreed upon, which would have ex-
tended our commerce with that country to
many times its present amount. These and
other advantages were sacrificed to the one
idea policy of the Administration, which ever
locks to the extension of Slavery as the ultimate
good. To this interest, every other interest in
the country must be sacrificed, together with
the honor and character of the nation. Our
whole intercourse with Mexico and Central
America, for years past, has worn a sinister
character, and degraded us in the eyes of the
world, by the ever conspicuous greed of territory
over which to extend Slavery. Instead Of be-
coming to the world a shining example of
justice and generosity, in our intercourse with
the young and feeble sister Republics which
have sprung up in this western hemisphere
instead of taking them by the hand, and be-
coming their best friend and protector, we have
ever shown a cannibal desire to devour them !;
and, instead of gaining their love and conf
dence, we have become their terror. They hy
to the despotisms of the old world for protection
against their sister Republic Such is the
character which the great Republic of Freedom
has acquired in the hands of corrupt and un-
scrupulous party, whose cardinal principle is
Slavery extension.

there has been of late years an alarming in

of Alabama, now in New York, writes to a city
paper, denying that he is North to further The
Presidential interests of Mr.. Douglas. He
says:
" As this statement has been widely repro
duced at the South, and is entirely without
foundation, desire to give it prompt c0ntrs
diction. / am not and never have been a SUP

THE REVIEW.

Henry 81 John Gentleman. BY John Esten Cooke.
New York Harper 4 Brothers. For sale by Taylor
Maury, Washington, ID. C.
This is a pleasant tale, descriptive of life in
the Old Dominion a hundred years ago. We
see our ancestors tricked out in embroideries
and laces, ruffies and fairtops, furbelows and
Aounces, wigs and powder-which, fortunately
for the peace of this generation, have long since
become discarded. We see the bellies of that day
languishing to the music of the stately minuet,
and listen to the stited and far-fetched speeches
of their gallants. With all this, the author, in
skillful and dramatic manner, has interviewer
the historical event of that period-the admin
istration of Lord Dunmore, his oppressive meas.
ures, and the troubles and insurrectionary
movements which finally resulted in the Revo-
luton.
We have been much interested in this book.
The freshness and vigor of its style and the
quaintness of its subject serve to enchain ones
attention The authors descriptions of Vir-
ginia life are peculiarly truthful and natural,
and can only have been written by one entirely
/ familiar with its colonial manners and customs.
| The Use ano ABUSE OF IOOacco. by Johh blZdfs.
Alcohol: Its Place and Power By James Miller
Philadelphia: Lindsay Blskiston For sale by Taylor
Manry, Washington D. C.
In these little volumes of 1873 and l79 pages,
respectively, the reader will find much food for
reflection. The authors, who are learned and
scientific men, have thoroughly investigated the
above-named subjects, and the result of their
observations, although recorded in cool and
dispassionate manner, is eminently unfavorable
to the use of either tobacco or alcohol. The
| frightful diseases which, in many cases, result
from an indulgence in these stimulants, ought
to be sufficient proof to the world of their inju-
rious effects, which, if not visited upon us now,
will become evident in the deterioration of flu
ture generations.
The publishers have issued these volumes in
a cheap and substantial form, and We hope they
may find wide circulation.

The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-05-28

Our MONTHLY ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT for
June will be mailed, prepaid, to the principal
business men of most of the slave States and the
southern counties of the border free States, in the
first DAYS of June. No advertisement will be re-
ceived after Tuesday, the last day Of May
Although the full effect of the ADVERTISER issued
on the first of May in consequence of the immense
extent of the territory covered, and the great dis
lance penetrated by it, cannot yet be felt, we
have the qualification of being assured that many
orders have been received which must be traced
directly to its agency. Advertising must be per-
sisted n like other efforts to attain its full success
The repetition of the same advertisement, and
still better new advertisement from the same
house. will often decide waverng customer.
Energy has an electric action on the world, and
the evidence of enterprise existing in any COM
munity, presented by full and frequent adver-
tsing cannot fail to produce the happest effect in
its favor. Some persons are disposed TO regard our
rates as too high, or at least higher than they can
afford. They are, of course, the best judges, but
by the simplest laws ofproportion, advertisement
which is read by t,centy thousand business men and
buyers-all ofthem-is worth twenty times as much
as one which is seen by only one thousand of the
same class. Besides, our MONTHLY SUPPLEMENT is
intended to fulfil altogether another function from
that performed by any of our dailies-our own in
Guided. 1t is intended 10 exhibit to the business
world-outsde of the ordinary range of our jour
nas-the best evidence of the capacity of our
market to satisfy the demands of commerce; and in
no way can that be done so well as by allowing
every business man to present his own claims in
his own way. Buyers will avoid place which
they not satisfied has the ability to fill all their
orders, and it is to enable our merchants to convey
this conviction in the most comprehensive, and at
the same time direct manner, that we have inst-
tuted our MONTHLY SUPPLEMENT

THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.
To the Editors of the Exchange.
GENTLEMEN: The article in your paper of this
morning is calculated to have very injurious effect
upon the prospects of the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company, which is now struggling on
against adverse interests and under adverse circum
stances to successful issue. There will be meeting
OF the stockholders on Wednesday next, at Upper
Marlborough, when, if any thing more than mere
diversion is contemplated by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, or by any of its Directors, or by
any other person or persons, there will be ample
opportunity presented for the demonstration
In the meantime, let no true friend of the road
be diverted from the original design by any mere
surmse of what this company or that company
may oo-of what this man or that man may pro
ject
1t is better to go ahead than to pause in contem-
patton OF aid from source which may be very
acceptable but which has certainly not been tender
ed in any official and responsible manner.
