" : q3*Tlio Harrisburg Telegraph asks—'“Have Polk or Buchanan t -or ony other of the loco-fucos who aided in thrusting the nation into a war, sons in It?” No, the gentlemen named hive lost no sons in Ih'o war. But there is a good reason for this * —they- never had any to lose. Mr. Polk, although married, has not a child to Ins. name, and as for Mr. Buchanan, wo hope no ono will accuse himof.having 'sons—ho being a bachelor. lie never was 1 married, and. wo really begin to fear ho never will he. But, the Telegraph was imprudent in asking the question, whether “ any other, loco-focos who aided in thrusting the nation into a war lost any sons in it?'*. It is . notorious that in the army theio arc three Democrats to one-Federalist.

DEAtII.OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMSI Tins venerable flhd distinguished has aiilength been called from the his earthly labors. Oil- Monday .morning of last week, lie. was taken with n jU of paralysis, in hi? seat in Congress, arid iimncdia'lely temoVed lo.;lho Speaker’s room, wHcre.ho remained, aUdhdcd by his friends and phy sicians, until the hoMr of lusdculh, which occurred oh.tho following Wednesday evening.Tho-Waslr ihglon Union, of lho 23d,'in remarking upon, the dcotb of Mr. A., says :' Ho breathed his last, in the Speaker's room of the House of Representatives, at twenty minutes past seven o’clock lids evening. The manner and the circumstances of tho death of this illustrious and venerable patriot and statesman, fohn the filling close of a life devoted even from early boyhood to the seN vice of his country. His public career commenced in 1781, when hu was but,fifteen ycars of ogc. - At ihat'limc he hclcd as secretary t0,0n6 of tho Amer|. can-legations. Since thch—duringa period of sixty seven years—he has been constantly,almost without a single interval* in publiciofflcisl stations.' - ( Mr. Adams.was born on July 11, 1767.‘i Thus ho died in- the 81st year of.lds ago, after filling a largo space in the eyes.of-his countrymen.; Ho. has died umid the universal sympathy, of this community. ; John Quincy Adams was born in 1767;'his death occurs in liis cighly-firsl year. . He vyasat different periods the Ambassador of the United States at all the prominent Courts'of> r Europc, his diplomatic ca reer. having been begun in 1781, when ho wont to Russia as Private Secretary to Mr. Dana, our Min ister at St. Petersburg. That was sixty-seven years ago, and from that period, with rare exceptions, Mr. Adams lids been in' tho public’sorvice. In Congress, ho Cabinet, in tho Executive QhuSr of the Ropub- lici bo ranked always among Ibo first-statesmen of tho country. Ho retained-his bodily powers in re markable vigor till a comparatively recent period, but bis powerful intellect remained undipiinislicd in strength llllthe very momeut lie was stricken down. The records of the life of such a mbn are full of in struction to Ibo living, and tho joUtnal in •which he kept a note of the events of the day, with a view of being published after death, will prove a Valuable legacy to the public. Tho man whoso death elicits such general sympathy after such long public service, very truly 'expresses the character of bis life by those remarkable words, ** Tills is tho lust of earth—l am content*”' * THE TREATY OF PEACE. ’ All doubt as to the reception of a treaty of peace between Mexico and Ibo United Stales, is removed. Tho fuel is stated In Ibo Union and tho National In telligencer. , Tho. former says—“ Propositions have been received by our government from Mexico, which will, no doubt, bo tho subject of duo and prompt con sideration.’* The National Intelligencer .ahnopnccs that “tho project of. a treaty of pence, signed by Mr* Trlst* as commissioner on tho partof the United States* and W three commissioner on the part of McxlcoVlias wen received by the Executive, and has been now for two.days under consideration by that brunch of Aho government.’* The substance of the treaty is understood by tho Intelligencer to bo as fol lows } u Fir4t, Peace between (ho United States and Mex. ice, and on Armistice between the Military Comman ders of the two countries during such lime as the Treaty shall be in suspense. ■ Secondly. Mexico agrees, in consideration, &c., that the boundary between the United Stales and Mexico shall, hereafter* bo'from the Sea up the mid die of the Rio Grande to the boundary pf Now Mex ico, and tlicnco In a line which (wilhVomo digression) is to run west (or nearly west) to the Pacific Ocean, and strike d point south of the port of Sun Diego. Thirdly. In consideration of this largo cession of Territory the United States are to pjy'lo Mexico the sum of 815,000,000, and losatisfy all the just claims of ciilzcns of the United Stales against the Govern muni of Mexico. . • ; The Treaty is understood to contain many provi sions of detail, but.docs not, as wo hear inclndo.ony provision, as has been reported, for the maintenance of a military force by, tho United States for a certain lime in Mexico.” The following understanding of the boundary pro* posed In liic treaty, is taken from the New York Express. Ifilis correct, we, got more than wd at first supposed: New Mexico, Upper California, Lower Californio, Part of Sonora, say Total 655,000 ' or about 600,000 square miles, without Lower Cali fornia, about which there nro some doubts. The remaining part of Mexico, which will bo left for the territory of that republic, will be about 900,- 000 square miles; consequently more than one third of the territory of the American States, os U .existed before the war, (exclusive of Texas,) is to bo cccdcd to the United States. From the most authentic accounts, the population of the acquired territory m«y bo set down as fol lows : . . The Californias, New Mexico, Total, To this amount wo may probably make some ad ditions for the tribes of Indians, also lor the cmi grants from tho United States who have recently settled In California. Wo shall probably not bo far out of the way if wo call tho population of these vast regions at present, one hundred thou sand.’* The Washington Union, in speaking of tho above statement of statistics, says—We cannot undertake to vouch for tho accuracy of these statistics. We give them os wo got thorn, without subjecting (hem to the rigid lest of analysis. But if they approach even tho truth, wo shall obtain considerable indemni nily, after paying the sum which is said to enter in to tho stipulations of the treaty.

The last, but not least, is the following to Peter Skew Smith, of Philadelphia, which was resdT at the recent State Convention at Harrisburg. It is consistent with those that have proceeded it. The author, it will bo seen, perseveres in an unoltcrable determination to run for the .Presidency “ on his own' hook," Independent of tho action of cither of tho groat politlool parties that divido the country.

On llio arrival of the President elect at ' La Guniro, Gen.

Puez used his influence and advice to form the cabinet, with some of our best citizens'. Thu government started quietly, and hope animated tho public. A few short .weeks pul , an end to our expectations; several of tho cabinet retired in disgust, and the President kept the broach widening, bv the appointment of a number of offen ders against the former government. Many iuflncn* Uni men, and among thorn Gen. Flores, endeavored to heal the breach.. Meetings were held; remonstran ces and threats from the press poured forth in vol umes; finally it was*determined to impeach tho Pres . ident bafuro the Congress about to meet. In the mean time tho President disarmed the me lilin activo, and placed arms in the hands bl the melt* tiii rtttrva , known' to bo most fuyorablo to tho liber al party ; all the old liberals were invited to return, and many were placed in office, some uf B thom 'not being entitled to citizenship. Commerce became cripplcdi and coufidqn.cy destroyed ; tho govbtnmcnl hobbled on willtan empty treasury; largo bodies of « troops were preparing near Caracas; and, on tho Q‘Uh of this month, when ihcro tVfero scarcely mem -1 bors enough to form a quorum in llio HoVu of Rep resentatives, Ihcro were 4,000 troops In and near the , pity.

Tho Wounded member, bleeding, wos not recognized’by tho soldiers, they fell on him —his lofVohcok and our were shot away—a severe cut over tho head, and his bead nearly severed from tho body, and.ids body terribly mangled with boyo nets. The Hon. Julian Garcia, of Caracas, was shot through tho head—llio ball entering ono oar passing out at llio oilier—nil llio fingers on the loft hand cut off, and sixteen wounds on other parts of his body. Tho lion. Juan Garcia had a sword run through his body and fulfdoad. Col. Smith was badly wounded. Those who oould nol.escape in front, wrenched off the iron bars of a back window, and, by tho means of a settee, made a bridge to tho top of a wall, where 0 few ppjes wore found, ond w|th those they cscopod over several walls torn and bruised. The whole square was soon, surrbbndcd by. tho troops, and the honorable members wore mode prisoners—some with scarcely clothespin—some without hats, bools, or. in* disposables; som%fijvv shared a better fate.- -The crowd rushed into lhs hail, destroying tho furniture and cutting to.picces a largo portrait ofßolivo’r. i In half an hour, thousands of vagabonds were pa , fading the streets with all kinds pi weapons; every house, wos instantly closed; pll (ho.foreigners who i had flags, unfurled thorn for protection; none but . those who happened to bo out wore in tho streets; ovary fow.mlnulcs llio harsh challenge,gum meaner . tho rush of cavalry broke.on the oar; night soon • o|osod in darkness, and a death-like stillness prevail ed during tho night.
