' We have received several numbers of this ex-
lent weekly, and hare found each rilled with choice
'and' instructive matter. It is fearless and inde
pendent in its tone, and far surpasses that sickly
loco foco paper, published under the garb of neu
trality, in the sarpe city. The Daily News, from

Wilis Stale Conveiiiion.
t The Whig State Convention assembled at Har
risburg yesterday. The object of the Convention
asrto nominate a candidate for Canal Commission
er, appoint Senatorial Delegates to the. National
Convention, arid to form an Electoral Ticket;
Aid and Comfort.
"t '-The impudence of the Locofocos, from the Pres
ident upward, in charging upon the Whigs a de
sire to afford 'aid and comfort to the enemy,' .is
tVnly equalled by its falsehood, ;At a. Locofoco
"State Convention in Arkansas, a-few weeks since,
Col. Ben. Taylor, a leading, member of that party,.
.made use of the following language :
, K Sometimes I have felt a little jealousy, in look
ing over, the army roll, to see so many Whigs up
holding the stars and stripes because I am cqm-
.jpellcd to admit that they outnumber the Democrats.
GooDWiNi who confined his wife in a pig stye,
in Canadaanduffeied'Ker to perish miserably,
has1 been sentenced to imprisonment in ihepenl-J
tentiary for life. The judge told htmUiat the jury:
had been very merciful jfor not cqnvicHng him of
murder, and ifhe'hadeeri sb'convictedjiewouia:

The New York Tribune, in a picture of the
morals of that city, says " There are thousands
this day in our city whose lucrative trade it is to
lie.in wait for unprotected female innocence and
loveliness, and betray it into the clutches of lep
rous" libertinism ;. and there is no laic to punish
'than."

IuTr. Clay sit Mew York.
On Tuesday of last week Mr. Clay reached the
c'ity of New York, and, as might have been ex
pected, met with a most enthusiastic reception.
He was received and welcomed at Castle Garden
by the Mayor of the City, amid the triumphant
cheers of many thousand people, and from thence
the procession moved up Broadway. The whole
of that beautiful thorough-fare was thronged, with
people, anxious to get a glance' at' their distin
guished guest, and the ladies in the windows were
prominent in welcoming him by the waving of their
handkerchiefs. All the hotels and other buildings
were surmounted by flags. The scene is described
as having been exceedingly brilliant emphatical
ly a triumphant procession, worthy of Mr. Clay,
21 and honoiable to the people of New York.
,T .The Physicians Tvho made an examination of
j4.be body of the lady who died in Cincinnati re
cently whilst under the influence of chloroform,
!havo published a card in. which they state the fol
lowing facts:
" 1st Mrs. Simmons, as shown by the condition
of the various organs of the bod, was in good
health when the chloroform was administered. It
.is.irue she had labored under slight catarrh a few
days previous to her death ; but we are of opinion
.that the very slight diseased action which existed
'was' in no way instrumental in causing the fatal
'result.
Qdi We have nohesitation in expressing the
opinion that death was-caused by the action of
chloroform.
"3d. Death ensued from a rapkJ'and complete
.exhaustion of the nervous system."
, Biminatiois of the Siui.A Joke.
, . Some weeks ago the proprietors of the Nevv
, York " Sun" saw proper to .diminish the size of
their paper. This was announced in the Mirror
as a diminution of the. Sun discovered by astro
nomical observation ; and people gazed at the nat
ural luminary through burnt glasses, to discover
'"Jiow he looked when " shorn of his fair propor
tions" The hoax was very generally published;
and last week a gentleman in an adjacent county
anligblened an audience by the delivery of a lec-
i,t.ire on the diminution in. the size of the Suq of
.about one-jenth, and attempted Jo account for the
fact from the condensation of the Suna rays, "We
have no doubt that many who heard him were sst
vJsfied that the solar body hfcd decreased, ana per
rtfhaps'with the fearful anticipation that they might
i'6me day be entirely deprived of his ighl.CHpper.'
The Treaty Ratified.

The injunction of secrecy in relation to the
terms of the Treaty and the proceedings there
on, has not been removed, but the New York
Herald's correspondent give's the above as the
vote, and the following as the terms of the
treaty. They are probably nearly correct.
Among those voting for the ratification are
four who spoke against it. Of the four Sena
tors not voting, two ate absent from the city
Messrs. Houston and Pearce..
The articles1 providing- for the confirmation
of the grants given by the Mexican government
in Texas and California, are stricken out ; and
the unimportant provision to extend the juris
diction of the Mexican church over the Catho
lic clergy in the ceded territory; is also stricken
out. 1 hese are the principal mouincaiions.
It will be recollected that the treaty indicates
two modes of paying the indemnity agreed
upon one by the issue of six per cent stocks,
or by instalments. The latter mode has been
adopted. The three millions subject to Mr.
Trial's order, are to be paid" immediately upon
the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican
government, and the remaindei in annual instal
ments of three millions each, bearing six per
cent interest, to commence-from the ratification
of the treaty by Mexico.
There is a provision' against making- any
portion of this sum transferable.
The only point omitted in my formerCsynop
sis and preserved in the treaty, is an article se
curing to the JJnited States the navigation ofl
the Gulf of California, and of the river Colora
do from' the mouth of the Gila lo the Gulf.
Mr. Allen closed' the debate, this evening,
with a speech which is universally acknowl
edged to have been one of extraordinary bril
liancy and power. It is not as yet determined
whether a commissioner shall be sent or not.
The following is a sketch of the articles of
ihe treaty, as adopted .by the Senate. It is,
probably, as correct- as a compressed sketch
can be made :
Article first appointed SenorsCuevos, Gonto
and Atristain commissioners on the part of the
Mexican government to adjust terms of a last
ing treat)' of a peace between the United States
of the Iorth, and the United Mexican, States,
with Nicholas P. Trist, commissioner of the
United States, &c.
Article second stipulates that there shall be
an immediate suspension of hostilities between
the armies of the two republics.
Article tftml defines the future boundary of
the United States. The line commences in
the Gulf of Mexico,.three leagues from land ;
thence runs up the middle of the Rio Grande
lo its intersection with the southern boundary
of New Mexico ; thence along that southern
boundary to the western boundary of same ;
ihence north to the first branch of the Gila,
which it intersects thence down tlto middle of
that branch and of the river to the Colorado;
thence it raws across westwardly;- and strjkes
the Pacific at s point one lesgOfc south f San
Diego. The free navigation df tho Gulf v
Californiand of the river Colorado, from tjra.
mouth' of the Gila to the Gulf is secured to the
-Jt '
Article fourth stipulates that'll shall be op-
lional: witlir citizens oPMexico nbwesiflingyn
the territory to be ceded, either to leave, taking
United-States.
with themtor otherwise disposing of their pro
perty; or else, upon taking the oaths of allegi
aWe to this government, to be pVolecfetlTn the"
enjoymentrof all the rights and immunities of
citizens of the United Slates-
The, next article proyidos. ihat ihe , United
States government shall fake prompt and ef
fectual measures for the defence of the border
from Indian incursions. To tliis end both' na
tions are to use their best endeavors.
In consideration of the extension o'fthe boun
dary "of the United States, made by this treaty,
the United States government stipulates to" pay
to Mexico the sum of fifteen million's of dollars.
In this sum is included three millions appropri
ated last session for the furtherance of peace.
This5 sum is to be paid to the 'Mexican go'v
ernmerit immediately orMi'e ratificaiioil of the
treaiy. The remaining twelve millions are to
be paid in four annual instalments; bearing six
per cent, fnlerest' from the ratification of the
treaty' by Mexico. No portion of ihts'sum is
to be transferable.
According to the article, the United 'States
government undertakes all claims of American
citizens against Mexico, both those already de
cided, and those still undecided the whole,
however, not to amount to more than three mil
lions and a quarter of dollars.
The Mexican archives found by us after the
taking possession of the ceded territory, are to
be delivered up.
The treaty of commerce of 1831, between
the two republics, is to be revived for the peri
od of eight years, and may afterwards be re
newed at the option of both governments.
The customhouses are to be restored to the
Mexican authorities as soon as the treaiy shall
have been raiified. Means are to be' adopted
for settling- the accounts.
The troops of the United States are lo leave
Mexico in ihree months after the ratification of
ihe treaty, unless the sickly season should come
on, in which event they are to retire to some
healthy situation, and are to be. furnished with
supplies by the Mexican government, on ami
cable terms.
The supplies which may arrive between the
ratification ofthe treaty and the emharcation of
the troops, are not to be subject to duty.
The treaty is be ratified by the President and
Senate, and to be exchanged within four months
after its ratification.
The boundary of New Mexico is to be de
fined as laid down in Disturnell's map of Mex
ico published at New York, in 1847.
Several important articles are omitted.

Gjbdiness and Dizziness. Wright's Indian
Vegetable Pills" are one of the best medicines
in the world for the cure of giddirfess-, because
they purge from the body those stagnant and cor
rupt humors which, when floating in the general
mas"s of the circulation, are the cause of a deter
mination or rush of blood to the head, giddiness,
headach, loss of memory, dimness of sight, .drow

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 most assuredly restore the body
