The MEXICAN TRKArr hangs FIRE in the Senate
of the U. States. The President boldly de-
clares, that unless that treaty is ratified war
with Mexico will surely happen. and that he
don't care. Those who oppose the treaty and
among them are several leading Southern Sena-
tors-say that war viii certainly follow its rati-
fcation. So that We are tc have war with
Mexico, in either event. We think this is what
both parties in the South. with the President to
aid them, are trying to bring about. Mexico is
powerless for self-defence. Uncle Sam is strong
and anxious for fight with somebody. and as
a weak enemy offers better chance for victo-
ry than powerful one. Mexico will have to
consent to another drubbiLg at our hands.

Our neighbor of the Farmer is concerned,
lest, in the event of war with Mexico, We

conclusion from the fact of our having opposed
the last war waged by the U. S. against Mex

down as certain that we shall again be found

Gloomy Day for the DOugIasites


The Washington despatch of the 7th to
the Cincinnati Gazette says:
This has been gloomy day for the
Douglasites. Close upon the intelligence
that the Slidell party had carried the en-
tire Louisiana delegation to Charleston,
who are utterly hostile to Douglas, came
the news that Chicago had reelected Long
John Wentworth, Mayor by 1880 majority.
This large and decisive majority was unex-
pected, even by Republicans, and complete
" astonished the Douglas men, who have
been Dragging for month back that Chi
cago was to be redeemed this spring thro'
the powerful influence of the Little Giant.
THE STAR DOWN UPON DOUGLAS.
The Star of this evening is also out up
on Douglas, charging him with meditating
and threatening bolt like that of Van Bu-
rem in 1s4s,and earnestly protesting against
the idea of having the delegates hopeless
ly welded to the doctrines of the Republi-
cans lay down the platform for the Demo
cratic States. 1t says: "The idea of per-
mitting those in the Convention, who
would cater to the prejudices on the Slave
ry question prevalent at the North, to lay
down a platform for the party where the
Democracy will otherwise triumph, is too
preposterous to be thought of in these
times. The truth is tie Convention sys-
tenn as it has existed for twenty years past
requires radical changes; else the Demo
cratic party of the country will soon cease
to exist except in name"
