at opinion that the President does not de

considerably below those estimates.
Mr. N tcou., of N. York city, spoke in

irrpublising the contradiction of Mr. Polk.
as to a treaty of peace, remarks as follows,
which seems to justify a strong infieretwe
that there is an unoilicial treaty project of
some sort in existence:
In his message to the House, the Pre
sident puts at rest the 1111110r3 which have
been's.) rife on the streets and in the pa l ,
pets, that the gorcramcnt hat sonic official
it of the negotiation of a treaty,
or of the pre of a treaty. proposed by
Mr. Trist or the three Mexican COMMlS
sioners. The MeSsage shows that there is
no foundation for such reports, so far as
our "administration is concerned. It is whis
pered. indeed, out of doors, that Mr. Mc-
Intosh, the British agent, has attempted to
bring about such a negotiation, and had giv
en some assurances to Con. Scott of the
dismwition of the Mexican government to
propose some conciliatory scheme of ad
justment. It is whispered, also, that these
assurances had not been verified. Ilut how
far these suggestions are true, we have no
means ofaseertaining. It sceinscermin that
the government has no oticial or positive
information on the subject."
The Washington corespondent of the
N. Y. Tribune writes as follows It
is rumored—and on good authority withal
—that we have not vet the letter, of (len.
Taylor's which fluttered the Volsees so
much on its reception. There is one. it is
said, in possession of Mr. Secretary Mar
cy. much more pungent, 1111 l re sarcastic,
more indignant, though not the less refined
in expression, or admirable in conception.
This the Secretary probably thinks might
do injury to.the public service, if published
—and from prudential and patriotic mo
tives, therefore, suppresses it. But, the
eml is not vet—there is sonic fun yet in
reserve."
WHO CARES ABOUT TIM TARIFF !--AVe
find it stated in the Boston Traveller, that
the fishermen of l'ortsmouth and New Cas
tle, in New I lampshire, (yea even in New
Hampshire,) have got up a memorial to
Uongress,"praying that the duty upon fish
imported from foreign ports, he made ve
rifle, and at the rate preseribed by the tariff
of 181 . 2." They slate that in these two
towns 70 vessels and 500 men are engaged
in the fisheries ; that the fishing grounds
are from 500 to 1200 miles distant ; and
that the fishing voyage occupies a term of
from tw, to six mouths : while the fisher
men of the British provinces, being close
by the grounds, make short voyages, at
smell expense, and send their fish to the
United States, to undersell and ruin their
American competitors.
And nu works free trade ; for which New
llamp►hire has done as much in its way.
as any State in the Fulton. But who cares
about protection ! Doubtless, it may seem
a small matter to the free trade patriots of
the country, that live hundred poor tiher
men are ruined by the low duties on fish.
They will advise them to go and turn far
mers, and ex peel. ultimately, the low prices
for grain and other products; that must conic
from over-production. The lislwrics, how

THE l'Asr. of Acts. GsiN f4. --Wm.
Christy, Esq., publishes a long brief in the
New Orleans papers, to show that the re
cent decision in the United States Supreme
('hurt of the ease of Mrs. Gaines, disposes
filially of the principal points involved in
all the suits which she list brought for the
recovery of her estate. This brief shows
that there are SUM(' singular facts developed
by the evidence in the case. The mother
of Mrs. Gaines was %Mime de Carriere, a
beautiful Creole lady of Louisiana. In
1791, this child "of the, sunny South" ma
ned, in the city of New Orleans, one Je
rome de Grange. The publication of the
bans, required by law, was omitted. The
marriage was consequently illegal and void.
But Dc Grange, moreover, had :mother
wife living. Ile was prosecuted for biga
my, condemned, imprisoned, escaped, and
was never heard of afterwards. The late
Daniel Clarke, an Irishman by , birth, and
a man of education, of extraordinary talents
and great pride of character, settled in New
Orleans about the year 1789, as a merchant;
his efforts were crowned with success, and
in a few scars he acquired a very large for
tune. lie had become smitten witlt
lithe de Carriere, and on the conviction of
Grange, carried her to Philadelphia—mar
ried her secretly in 1803—and M rs. Gaines,
the legitimate offspring of this ninon, was
born, in 1805 or 6, at New Orleans, and
when eight days oh! was placed with Sam
uel B. Davis to he raised. At the age of
23 or 21 she accidentally discovered her
real parentage by reading a letter intended
for Mr. Davis. Her mother bees toe dis
satisfied with ( Tark's conduct to her, and
went to Philadelphia, where in 1807 or H,
she married a Mr. Gardette, under the be
lief that her marriage with Clarke was not
valid.—Thos she had three husbands ti
eing at the some time, one of whom leas
her only lawful one, and as the evidence
goes un to prove, (the most astonishing fact
of all,)she acted in good faith in every in
stance of marriage.

CONGRESI4.--4The debate on the general
merits of the Wae—in all its sispetetwaittinutaa
with unabated 'gigot in bulb branches of Congress.
It is thought the Ten Regiment Bill will pass the
Senate but fail in the Home.
"In the late Whig State Convention of In
diana, Mr. ALVIIIIT S. WHIT", well known as a
prominent Whig member of Congress few years
ago, said he could vouch for the tact that Gen. Tap
for nos a Whig, good and true—that his written
pledges were in the pocket of a Senator of the U.
States—that there were whip. present who had seen
them—that if made Chief Magistrate of this Union
his entire Cabinet should be selected from the
Whig party—and that none of the opposition could
ever obtain office through any agency of his."
Duca-
r•All right so Ear sus it gom it is the Whig
masses, however, and not "Mr. Albert 8. White,'
or "a prominent 'Whig 'member of Congress," that
does the, voting; and if such a letter be in existence,
why not let the masses have the, benefit of it ! We
apprehend that the members of the Whig party
are capable of thinking for themselves, and re
quire no assistance from interpreters to expound
the views of candidates who claim their suffrages.

been appointed a delegate to the. Locofxo State
Convention.
FROM M EXlCo.—Ndvices from the City of
Mexico, to the 14th ult., have been received at
New Orleans. The news is not of Dutch impor
tanee—tlie used rumors in reganl to pears, and
negotiations abounding. The American troops
were by degreens occupying the mineral and other
important points in Mexico, with the view of col
lecting revenue.
At the last edviees from Queretaro, ( 1 110111 T of
Congress was not in attendance, and there was
but little prospect that any businesswould be trans
acted at present. Gen. Anaya had been succeed
ed by Pena y Pena as President—the term of the
former having expired and the latter coming in at
President of the Court of Justice. A new Presi
dent is to be chosen as soon as Congress assembles.
Who it will be is a matter upon which we can of
ler no opinion. There have. been rumors that
Mr. Trial has for some time been in conference
with the. Mexican commissioners, and that cer
tain terms have been agreed upon, but we have
nothing authentic on the, subject.

ranee. tends to arrest the tide of worldli
ness, which would otherwise overwhelm
those moral and religious principles w Melt
constitute the support of our laws, and tic
basis of 'our national welfare.
4. Resolved, That as the right obser
vance of the day is in a great Incas art de
pendent on the power nf• principles and
habits, formed in childhood, it ought to be
recognized by parents, Sabbath-school
teachers, and the guardians of the young,
as a very prominent duty, to train them
early to the practice of conscientiously and
carefully attending to all its privileges and
duties.'
5. Resolved, That ns the purity and
permanence of free institutions cannot be
maintained without knowledge and virtue
permitting the mass of the people ; and as
these cannot be diffused without the enjoy
ment of the privileges of the Sabbath—no
eulighteued and consistent patriot, and es
pecially no avowed follower of Christ, will
feel at liberty to neglect or trifle with the
requirements of the fourth commandment.
0. ResolVed, That the Sabbath is an in
tiluable'boon to the laboring portion of so
ciety, and that to require or tempt them to
prosectliti their secular toils on that day, is
inflicting 'On them a grievous wrong, and
is subversive of order and national virtue.
.1. Resolved, 'What. the conscientious
performance of the.various duties belong
leg to the Lord's day, by all classes of the
comtiinnity, naturally begets and fosters that
veneration for law and the judicial flute
tions, which will ensure an impartial ad
miniairstien °Quake, and preserve invi
olate our civil rights and liberties.
8. Resoved, That tho Sabbath is the
most. powerful guardian of the sacreddess
and inviolability or the domestic relations,
and the nursery of the social virtues, and
that no country can be distinguished by
the happiness of its
.homes; and thb 'Thir
tnohy of its society, unless its inhabitants
Yield'a pairis4aking obedience to the do
ties whioch it involves. k , • -
,9. Resolved, That if. our great thor•
ouglifures' are to be' insirtimental in
ishing and destroying that veneration for
the gabbith, which characterized the faun•
ders . of our Coriamou wealth, they will be
curse and not a blessing to the eumintmi
ty—they will be channels for the darn:time'
of rite, degradation and'destli. ' •
10. Resolved, That the Sabbath is not
merely a positive and arbitrary institution,
but is based iipmi the physical and mental
constitution of man, add its observance is
essential to the highest physical and moral
well-being of the human-race..
Resolved, That the manifest connection
between the neglect of the Sabbath and
Abandonment in crime, sbould lead all, and
especially professors of religion, lobe vig
ilant and prayerful, lest they countenance
the more open violation by thinking their
own thetighti Of speaking their ow it . words.
12. Resolved, That this Convention
respectfully recommend that all societies
and military companies refrain from ap
pearing in "proeesi ion . on the Sabbath, for
any purpose; Oven fur the interment of the
dead.
A Resolution was that adopted urging upon the
Legislature the adoption of measures to close the
public works on the Sabbath, still requesting the
Cumberland Valley Rail road to suspend running
their cars on the saute. A committee was appoint.

Resolutioiuo in favor of prohibitory legislation in re.
krenee to the intoxicating liquor-ware
adopted, together with an appeal to the Legislature
urging a repeal of the Lb erase laws, and the enact
:Tient of such law. a abull tend to suppress the
traffic: • Thefollowing Resolutions *ea* adopted:
Resolved, That notwithitanding the
recent dechlion of the Supreme Court of
this State, we; feel encouraged,. by past
successes; and
,the righteousness, of our
MIMIC, to prosecut, the 'Temperance work
With renewed vigor.
Resolved, That all previous legislation
upon the subject. and the decision of the
Supreme Court on the voting law, serve
to ronvince nir that the evil against which
we have enlisted demands the same kind
of legislation 'which has been pursued in
regard to horse-racing, gambling, profani
ty, ami other immoralities., • •
Resoled, That nothhfg short of a law
entirely prohibiting the traffic id liquors as
a beverage, can ever be aft effectual ream
tO for the evils of Intemperance:.
Revoked. That the movements of the
gthat temperance army ought -hereafter-to
be ohltraeterixed by an unflinching deter
mination to enforce the existing laws, to
petition the Legislature, and not to cease
petitioning until entire and absolute prohi
biiition of the traffic in intoxicating bever
ages shall be inscribed upon the statute
book of this Cominonwealth.
Readied. that if the legislature decide
in their wisdom that they cannot give the
people a prohibitory law, we ask at their
hands an increase of the rates of tavern
li
reuses 3 the preihibition of the sale of "vin
ous, spirituous or other strong drinks," by
any other persons than regularly licensed
tavern keepers, and such a modification of
existing laws regulating the tratilic, as will
give, in all cases of conviction, one half
the penalty to the person commencing the
prosecution.
Resolved, That this Convention do
most earnestly recommend to all Tempe
ranee men the necessity of unceasing vig
ilance and action fur advancing this great
moral reform.
Resolved, That the nexl State Tempe.
ranee Convention be held in the Saloon of
the Shakspcare House, in the Borough of
Harrisburg, on the Third iFednesdag of
January, ISM, unless otherwise ordered
by the State Central Committee.
Resolved, That one of the most effectu.
al means of promoting the temperance re
formation is for temperance men to give
their aid and support to Temperance Inns
and Taverns and Temperance Stores, and
this Convention recommend to all friends
of the cause, to use their influence to get
up and support. in every community, good
Temperance Houses fur the entertainment
of travellers and strangers.
