Our Treaty with Mexico.

The general impression in political circles
mare, says the Washington correspondent of
she New York Herald, is that the Mexican
treaty will not be ratified by the Senate in
It's present form, although it is nat believed
they will 90 to the extent OF rejecting it,
The principal ground OF opposition to the
srssty is the authority which it confers upon
ths government of the United States to in
ssrvsne forcibly at the call ofthe govern
msnt Of Juarez; and this opposition is not
coafnsd to party, but is equally shared by
the democrats and republicans. The propo-
sed amendments seek to guard against any
possible interference between the opposin G
psrties In Mexico otherwise than diplomsti-
saliy.
MirsEon has sent here to every Senator
an urgent protest agsinst the ratification Of
she treaty, and endeavora to show that the
greatly making power cannot be exercised BY
Jusrez. To this Mata, Jusrez's mnistsr,re
plies, that an act of the Mexican Congress
expressly authorizes the President under
contingencies like the present, when the
state of the country prevents the meeting OF
Congress, to make treaties. He has failed,
however, to produce copy of this act and
If course, the fact is not accepted unques
:ionsd.
The treaty undoubtedly grants important
privilsges; but whether sufficient to coun-
sersslance the objections urged, is debatea
o.s. An armed intervention would soon
give as the two provinces on the Rio Gran
de--New Leon, and Tamaulipas
territories, doubtless, and admirably adap
sed to the cultivation of sugar and cotton
besides being possessed of much mineral
.7esltb. Without this armed intervention,
Sonora will, probably, be the only State we
sh0uld acquire for the present, and that ne
csssarily, must be free State. Hence it is
shat extreme Southern Senators generally
s7s favorable to the treaty. But,at the same
lins, others are unwilling, for the same rea
son, to enter into an arrangement OF doubt
ial propriety, which might reopen the mig.
ger question, and keep up an agitation
whose bsneful effects has already given the
republican party prominence it could not
otherwise have obtained.
Unless very marked change takes place
ia the minds of Senators, you may rest sa
isied the treaty in its present shape VIII net
% ratified.
It's said here that Mr. LA Rsintree. Nc.
.icLsne's Secretary, furnished copy OF the
treaty, though in mutilated tora, to a
saird party, through whom it was given to
uns Of your contemporaries. Mr.. McLane
avows that the treaty published is material
" different from the document before thu
senate. Its publication is believed to have
been caused by some sinister motive, an'
many Senators consider it grave offence
aud one which calls for explanation on tht
part of tie Secretary of Legation. II it be
true shat Mr.. La Reintree permitted to b.
published evenin mutilated condition, he
vas guilty of remissnass in his official duty
