While, however, thus paying a proper tribute

we regret the necessity fir noticing the unusual

The practice, too, of manifeating the feeling of the

commuuicetion : 7 -.We can find nothing in the .
Manage that Materially varies the aspect'of the
Subject. it standi before the country in dee name
light as when the House, byl largo majority, and
the Senate, by ei unanimous vale, demanded all
Medicaments in knlation to the treaty.
The President's positions are briefly thew : Qrot,
that the proticol and treaty do not differ; second,
that if they do, the prontol is of no force; third,
that the subject was too trifling to 'communicate
to Congress. If the amendments of the Senate
did not differ from that which they amended,
then all the members, ease the four who voted a
gainst them, are' demented. Who gave to the
President, the Secretary of State, or the Commie
eionent, the power solemnly to declue that the
Senate's alterations were not alterations, that the
amendments so vehemently insisted upon that
body, meant nothing; and that the treaty thus a
mended, was the same as that which was sent in
to the Senate. If the amendments meant nothing,
what necessity for the proticol I Under any cir
cumstanees, what necessity for the proticol-4 so
team registration, by the Commissioners of the U.
States, of important but unauthorised modifica
tions of the treaty, after that treaty bed been rat
ified by the Mesican as well as the American
government I The tact that the treaty had been
ratified befere the arrival of the Commissioners,
and that the proticol followed that ratification,
renders the fraud upon Mexico, and the arguer
duke of the rights of our Senate, the mom gratui
tous, unnecessary and arrogant. No one who
reads the original treaty, the amendments and the
protocol, will hesitate to affirm that the Commis
sioners were guilty of falsehood in their statements,
and twmpation in their action.
But the President argues that if the protocol
is liable to these grave objections, it is an set un
authorized by our Constitution, therefore null and
of no effect. There may be doubts upon this
point ; but even if in strictness, the unauthorized
acts of a national agent do not bind the govern
ment, they at least taint its honor. The Mexican
government wee deluded sinto a reliance upon it;
and under the assurance of Mr. Buchanan, after
wards solemly confirmed by the Commissioners in
the protocol, it yam induced to ratify .the treaty—
The proticol may not be binding; but if,.by its
faseihoods, or falsehoods previously used, and thus
solemnly confirmed, the ratification was procured,
it was a dishonorable testy!, and 1 the entire
treat► void. Is this not apparent I And does
the President regard it as a matter so immaterial
The Union says, want of good faith is no part
of the American character." Where was its good
faith when Mr. Polk and his officers were enact
ing this sorry piece of deception I
It is admitted by the President that the Commis
sioners had no power to join the Mexican Min.
Liter in executing the protocol. They, therefore,
transcended their authority in a most important
point; and in so doing incurred-a responsibility
which Congress had the unquestionable right to
to know, and to set upon. Why did the Preei•
dent conceal this from the Senate I Ile says it
was too insignificant to be noticed. A gross Yin.
lotion of duty, an usurpation of the most sacred
prerogative of the Senate, a violation of the Con
stitution, a falsehood, a fraud, a foul breach of na
tional honor--and too trifling to be thought of !
Are these the political morals of the White House I
Concealment is generally a token of guilt ; but
when the secrecy has, and can have, no motive but
the protection of public crime, it becomes itself a
crime. The President could not have considered
it so trivial. If so, why conceal it I But is it
possible that en act which strikes his friends and
supporters with shame and horror, should be re
garded by him elate qs a baritile
If the Awful outrage be permitted to pass with
opt exemplary action by Congress, our Constitu
tion may hereafter be regarded as,a shuttlecock,
useful only for the amusement of political battle
dores. But that time has not yet arrived. The
condemnation of Mt. Polk at the polls may save
him from impeachment, as the culprit escapes,
who, condemned to be cropped, was found by the
executioner to have lost his ear for a previous of
knee : but some signal action should be had, that
will free the nation from the dishonor of a pas
sive submission to so unprecedented and mob
strous a wrong."
A GOOD MOVE.—The world, (say. the
Washington. Correspondent of the Daily News,)
with all its wars and bloody cruelties between na
tions, is making program. The plan of settling
national disputes, like individual disputes, by ar
bitration, though not entirely new, hes never yet
been adopted, and it is strange the, it never has.
Bat the subject is beginning to excite the most se
rious attention of the sober people of ibis country,
and that very feeling, perhaps, in spite of the
blustering of the administration of Mount Polk
and Buchanan in the late Oregon question, saved
us from another bloody war with England. And
it is probable that the same feeling of the people
of this country' weak! have saved um the war with
Mexico had that tuition been stronger, and had

maie.the full, particulars of Altai are thiis
gistensin the commercial of that city, of
Sunday morning :
The history of this bloody affair is, in
brief, as follows. Not many years since,
Captain John Howard married the daugh
ter of a physician residing in Montreal;
Canada. They lived together in apparent
happiness and domestic comfort for some
time in this city, but difficulties occurred,
not necessary here to name, and the par
ties separated—the wife taking the two
children, a boy and a girl. Not long after
the separation. Capt. H. obtained the two
children by violent means—having no re
course in the law—and ;Aimed them• in
charge of a' friend in Kentucky ; at the
same time art application for a divorce was
pending in a court in that State. Mrs.
, 11. was of an impetuous and determined
- temperament—a woman of many accom-
plishments, and capable of occupying high
placesin society—and felt her humiliation
in a keen degree, and had often sworn re
venge. Heaven knows, she has gut it I
Capt. H. married again (U is said.) and
and was living at the time of this terrible
transaction, with the lady (quite handsome
by the way, and amiable in her manners)
—who fell a victim to the wild fury of
jealousy and vengeance—and perished on.
der the knife of the abandoned wife. The
circumstances of the tragedy are as fol
lows:
At about five o'clock last evening, a wo.
man called at the boarding house of Mrs.
Wolf, on Filth street between Plum and
Western Row, and walked into the entry.
Meeting Mrs. - Wolf she said—" Madam, 1
saw your door open, and took the liberty
of walking in; league to see Mrs. How
ard." • Mrs. Ar: said she would call Mrs.
11., and immediately went up stairs for
that purpose.
Mrs. H. soon came down, and upon
meeting the stranger, the latter sprang at
her, and plunged a knife into her neck, sev
ering the jugular vein, and then walked otf !
Mrs. 11. inagrred back into the kin•hen,
the blond gushing from the wound, cried,
0, Mrs. Wolf, I am killed !" and ex
pired in a short time ! Mr. Howard was
in the house at the time, and upon being
made acquainted with the facts, he seized
a knife, and calling the name of the mur
deress, rushed down stairs—but she had
escaped ! The bleeding ntiject of his love
was writhing in death before him, and he
became frantic.
Pursuit was made for the murderess,
but she could be found no where. Mr.
John L. Scott. member of Council from
the Second Ward, however, met her short
ly after the murder. on Fourth street, near
Vine, when she called his awntion. by
showing him a knife reeking with blood,
and exclaimed-4 , I have done it !—I killed
her!—can I get this much out of Howard !"
She was determined in her manner, and
her eye had the glare of a usaniac ! Her
hand and arm to the elbow were besmear
ed with blood, and there were some spots
upon her face. Mr. S. was so complete
ly confounded by this singular meeting. that
he suffered her to pass on. She was arrest
ed at a late hour last night by officer Huse,
Jr., near her residence.
SUDDEN DEATH IN ADILATIVE HALL.
—On Thursday a very distil:saint , circum
stance occurred in the House of delegate,,
of Virginia. Mr. Thompson, the mein

establish a Branch Batik at Fincastle.
was proceeding to explain the bill, while
evidently laboring under indisposition.—
Calls were made to him to speak louder.
which he attempted to do. In doing so,
he made a pause, asked for water, arid sud
denly stink in his seat, as if from exhaus
tion. The house instantly adjourned in
great confusion. Mr. T. was borne insen
sible into a current of air, and efforts made
to bleed him, but conciousneer returned no
more, and in a few minutes he expired.
HOMESTRAD EXEXPTION.—The Legis
lature of lowa adjutired on the lath ult.,
but before doing so, passed a hill exem piing
a Homestead worth five hundred dollars

Benefit, Mrs. Fin.t.ca may yet be appoint
ed Ambassador to Rome, es she intimates
that such stations will be filled by women
before Soother half century has rolled by.
THE WESTERN PENITINTTARY.—From
the annual report of the Warden of this
institution we glean the following facts :
"During the past year 115 convicts have
been confined in the prison, of which num•
bar there was but one female, an eloquent
testimonial of the morality of the sex in
the western district of the State, Fifty-five
convicts were received during the year,
and fifty-tyyled."

the attempts to 'Hence discussion upon

Sotrusßv AGITATOR3.—The objection'

'Vegetable Pills are a certain cure for the
above unpleasant complaints, because they
WO front the body those stagnant and
corrupt humors which, when floating in
the general mass of circulation, are the
cause of a rush of blood to the head, giddi

the head. and many other symptoms of
a loaded and corrupt state of the blood.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are
also one of the very best medicines for the
cure of indigestion, and therefore will not
only lentove the above unpleasant eymp

body to a state of sound health.

morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bow,
els, predisposes the system to every class 01

obstructed with superabundance of bile and Os-
gid matter, Nature ceases to fulfil her properOf
flee. It is then that the blood beeomes•impwe
because the secretive organs of the liver, whose
office it is to separate the wont-out principle sir
this vital fluid are no longer lit for their office,
and the wasted part of the blood continua there- ,
fore in its circulation and becomes diffused
throughout the whole system. Thus filled with
infectious humors' the body is made liable to
'richness. It, by chance, it is exposed to a saik
deli change in the weather, a bad amid or con
sumption would be the result—it in the vicinity
of eontagious disorders, it would imbibe the
inflectioh.
DR. DAUNT'S 001.11 AND SILTICII PILL/, d•
though pleasant to take and innocent in opera
tion, is the most excellent medicine in the
world, to remove the bile and viscid matter
from the system, and to restore the liver, stom
ach and bowels, to the performanie of their'pre
per functions, thereby rendering the blood pure' ,
rind divesting the system from all morbid and
infectious burnouts. which .will finally remove ,
every dimwit, however long standing, and. endear
the system with health, strength and vigor.'
