Col. Hofius, the nominee for Congress, is a
gallant and true•hearted Whig, and an able

just now a subject of serious agitation among

David Wilmot. It is said that the leaders of
the party, in view of the present crisis in the
politics of the State, are considering the pro•
priety of procuring the withdrawal of Govern•
or Bigler from the canvass. These statements
we give on the authority of the discontented
portion of the Democratic press; but for our•
selves, we do not believe that there is any prob

Concluded at the city of Mexico, Dec. 30, 3853.
In the name of the Almighty God!
The republic of Mexico and the U. S. of
America, desiring to remove every cause of die
agreement which might interfere in any man
ner with the better friendship and intercourse
between the two countries, and especially in
respect to the true limits which should be es
tablished, when, notwithstanding what was cov
enanted in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in
the year 1849, opposite interpretations have
been urged, which might give occasion to
questions of serious moment: To avoid these,
and to strengthen and more firmly maintain
the peace which hnppily prevails between the
two republics, the President of the United States
has, for this purpose, appointed James Gads
den envoy extraordinary and minister pleni
potentiary of the same near the Mexican go,
eminent, and the President of Mexico has ap
pointed as plenipotentiary "art hot" his excel
lency Don Manuel Dies de Bonilla, Cavalier
Grand Cross of the National and Distinguished
Order of Gandalupe, end Secretary of State
and of the Office of Foreign Relations. and
Don Jose Salazar Yllarregui. and General Ma
riano Monterde, as scientific commissioners,
invested with full powers for this negotiation.
who; having communicated their respective full
powers, and finding them in clue and proper
form, have agreed upon the articles following:
ARTICLE I.—The 'Mexican republic agrees
to ciesiennte the following as her true limits
with the United Stntes for the future: retaining
the same dividing line between the two Califor
nias as already defined and established accord.
ing to the sth article of the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, the limits between the two republics
shall be as follows: Beginning in the Gulf of
Mexico, three leagues from land, opposite the
mouth of the Rio Grande, ns provided in the
sth article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo;
thence. as defined in the said article, up to the
middle of that river to the point where the par
allel of 31 deg. 47 min. north latitude crosses
the name; thence due west one hundred miles;
thence south to the parallel of 31 deg. 20 min.
north latitude; thence along the said parallel of
31 deg. 20 min. to the 111th meridian of long.
west of Greenwich; thence in a straight line to
a point on the Colorado river, twenty English
miles below the junction of the Gila and Colo
rado rivers; thence up the middle of the said
Colorado river. until it intersects the present
line between the United States and Mexico.
For the performance of this portion of the
treaty. each of the two governments shall nom
inate one commissioner, to the end that, by
common consent, the two thus nominated, hay.
ing met in the city of Paso del Norte throe
months after the exchange of the ratifications
of this treaty, may proceed to survey and mark
out upon the land the dividing line stipulated
by this article, where it shall not have already
been surveyed and established by the mixed
commission, according to the treaty of Guada
lupe, keeping a journal and making proper
plans of their operations. For this purpose, if
they judge it necessary, the contracting parties
shall be at liberty each to unite to its respec
tive commissioner scientific or other assistants,
such as astronomers and stwveynrs, whose con
currence shall not be considered necessary for
the settlement and ratification of a true line of
division between the two republics. That line
shall be alone established upon which the com
missioners may fix, their consent, in this par
ticular, being considered decisive, and an in
tegrel pan of this treaty, without necessity of
ulterior ratification or approval, .d without
room for interpretation of any kind by either
of the parties contracting. The dividing line
thus established shall in all time be faithfully
repected by the two governments, without any
variation therein, unless oldie express and free
consent of the two, given in conformity to the
principles of the law of nations and in accord
mice with the constitution of each country res
pectively.
In consequence, the stipnlation in the sth
article of the treaty of Guadalupe, upon the
boundary line therein described, is no longer
of any force wherein it nosy conflict with that
here established, the said line being considered
annulled and abolished wherever it nifty not
coineide with the present; end in the same
manner remaining in full force where in senor
dative with the same.
ARTICLE 2.—The government of Mexico here
by releases the United States from all liability
on account of the obligations contained in the
eleventh article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hi
dalgo, and the said article, and the thirty-third
article of the treaty.of amity, commerce, and
navigation between the United States of Amer.
ica and the United Mexican States, concluded
at Mexico on the sth day of April, 1831, are
hereby abrogated.

"That the negro race has peculiar moral and
physical characteristics is evident; and it ought
to be equally evident that he is endowed with
them for a purpose. Then, those characteristics
are precisely such as show him to he better fit
ted for guidance and dependence than for in
dependent action; and when it is seen he is
happy and prosperous in a state of dependence
and wretched in all other*, the evident purpose
of Providence should be submitted to, and not
arraigned by the fallibility of human judg
ment."
Of course, all the slave clippers that ever
hovered along the western roast of Africa were
endeavoring piously to fulfill "the evident per.
poses of Providence," and did it except 'when
chased by our impious Nationnl vessels and
compelled to throw overboard the shackles
wherewith they intended to bind their cargo,
and the fire-arms, powder and rum with which
they expected to buy them. Ought we not to
be ashamed of ourselves that we have been so
many years spending our National treasure and
risking the lives of our men on that pestilential
coast merely to thwart "the evident purposes of
Providence?" We cannot well plead igtmrst nce;
for we have had eloquent slave•breeders in
Congress, and eminent dispensers of Cotton
Divinity in our pulpits; but whet shall we say
for ourselves? How can the eentrieers of so
wilful. gigantic a war against Providence hope
to be forgiven.
Dissolution of Partnership,
The Susquehanna Register says that the fol
lowing document was picked up near an Attor
ney's office in Montrose a few (lays since:
"The copartnership heretofore existing on
(ler the name and style of the Democratic Par
tv. has been dissolved by mutual consent.—
Franklin Pierce will close up the business of
the concern, and from present indications will
speedily accomplish that desirable end. All
persons (mostly Southerners) who are indebted
to said firm, will please to "fork over." and all
having claims against it (chiefly Northern Con
gressmen) will present them to the said Frank
lin, or Caleb Cushing, his attorney, for liquid.
tion. (Signed) THE DEMOCRACY.
It is understood that the party having claims
against the defunct concern, shall present them
"immediately or sooner if possible." as the
assets of the firm are part being distributed,
and there is therefore danger that the extreme
Northern men, particularly those of the "Dough
face" line, may be obliged to compromise for
a very low figure. Gentlemen who are unable
to proceed to Washington, by reason of the re
cent ..rough weather," can leave their claims
at the Philadelphia Custom House.
Nebraska and Whiskey—Rich Speech.
The Indianapolis Journal gives an account
of a speech made in that city recently by a Mr.
Robinson, who was there an a delegate to the
Democratic Convention. The speaker took
high grounds in favor of the Nebraska bill, pro.
ving most conclusively that the Missouri Com
promise was no compromise at all, and that
putting slavery there. or giving it a chance to
go there, after agreeing that it shouldn't, was
no breach of faith. The Journal's account of
what the speaker said on the whiskey question
is rich, and we append it:
"Now is the time," says Mr. Robinson, "for
the Democrats to take grounds on this clues.
tion. Shall we now help whiskey. which has
sn long helped us. or shall we basely leave the
the field, and see oo' friend gutted before our
eyes? Shall we not stendtogether?—since none

its glory bursted or caved in. 'But, nn the con

all this liquor do?' hut blazoned on all its am

SIIIRLETSBURO, June 19,'54.
To the Editor of the Huntingdon Journal.
Sir :—You will confer a favor on me by giv
ing the follnwing communication a place in
your valuable paper:
It has been told me, on creditable authority,
that a charge is extensively circulating in Hun
tingdon and other places, against, to the effect
that lay influence was exerted in the late elec.
tion for County Superintendent, to lessen the
salary of the present incumbent, Mr. J. S. Barr.
I owe it both to myself and my friends, with
whom I am charged with having exerted such
influence, to give the accusation a flat and un
qualified denial.
In the choice of a salary I was wholly units.
terested, and took no part one way or the other,
being for a great part of the time out of the
room, or otherwise engaged.
In a case of gentlemanly and courteous ri-
valry, where my opponent had not descended
to ouch depths of gross, personal, and false
abuse, as appeared, on the eve of the election,
its one of the county papers, I would be eager
to show my cordial acquiescence, although de.
footed, in the decision of the Directors, and
would promptly use what little influence I
! possessed with my friends, for the appointment
of a salary which would amply-repay a compe
tent man, a scholar, and a gentleman, fur his
services.
In the present instance I made no effort for,
or against Mr. Barr's desired salary, and under
no circumstances shall the conduct of any one
towards myself, however rancorous, insulting,
low, and ungentlemanly, cause me so far to
forget the respect due to myself and to my
friends. and the high sense of honor which ev
ery gentleman possesses, as to imitate his ex
ample, even to the slight degree that the act
charged against me would have imitated the
conduct of my opponent.
I do sot intend to provoke or enter into a
newspaper controversy with any one, on the
past, nor have I mode this explanation with
any reference to the feelings or sentiments of
Mr. Barr, but solely with a desire to rebut a
slander, which I feel only so far as it may ef
feet the belief of my numerous acquaintances
throughout the county, whose esteem I highly
valise and would du nothing, deservedly, to
forfeit.
Respectfully yours,
HUGH J. CAMPBELL
A Victim of Hydraphobia.
This most dreadful of nil maladies was en•
hibited yesterday in all its horrors, in tne per.
son ofJohn Cookson, late foreman of Semple's
foundry. The particulars are these:
About nine weeks since, Mr. Cookson, one
evening, in returning from the foundry to his
house near the terminus of the plank road, was
attacked by a large and ferocious dog, who bit
him in the leg, thigh and arm, besides inflict.
log a slight wound in his face, and literally
tearing his clothes into ribbons. .The wounds,
however, did not incapaeitate Mr. Cookson
from attending to his business, and he soon
forgot the occurrence. On Thursday evening,
upon entering his home, he complained of feel
ing very unwell, and retired early to bed. The
night, however, was almost a sleepless ono, in
tempted by horrid dreams and nervous starts,
and early in the morning the first symptoms of
hydmpluibia made their appearance. Medical
aid was procured—in fact some half dozen
physicians were on the spot as soon as the case
became known, but he grew rapidly worse.—
He was bled, and for a few minutes appeared
somewhat calmer, but the horrid fit soon re
turned, and it was a fearful sight to behold the
wretched man foaming at the month, casting
himself upon the ground and endeavoring to
tear the. flesh from his hones, all the tinlb
meaning piteously. If it were possible to en
hance the horrors of the scene, it was that the
unhappy being was entirely sane, being con.
scions of his dreadful situation, and earnestly
entreating the horrible spectators to keep away,
lest he might involuntarily do them an injury.
He was tied down to the bed, but he sue.
ceeded in breaking the cords, until, finally, six
strpng men holding hint down, chloroform was
administered to him, under the influence of
j which he slept fur half an hour. When he
awoke, it was but to breathe his last. A few
convulsive gasps and nervous twitchings, and
the rigid features and motionless limbs pro.
claimed that his sufferings were at an end.—
This occurred a little after one o'clock. F. M.

General War heave,
A meeting between the Emperor of Austria
and the King of Prussia, attended by their res.
pective ministers. was to take place on the 9th
instant, at Tesehean, on the Saxony frontier,
It was suspected that the meeting would not
increase the cordiality of Austria towards the
Western Powers, especially as it has transpired
that Count Wostez is the bearer of a letter
from the Emperor of Austria to Nicholas. It
is, however, stated that Prussia had sent a note
advising Russia to wept Austria's invitation
to withdraw from the Turkish Principalities,
There is a rumor that Russia is inclined to
authorise Austria to propose an armistice.
Important movements are also discernable
among the German States.
At a conference of eight governments, re•
cently held at Bamberg, it was unanimously
resolved that it is the intention of all the Ger.
man States to adhere purely and simply Is the.
convention of April the 20th, if it be submitted
to the Diet. At the same time. there was drawn
up the basis of a note to Austria and Prussia,
if those Powers shall farther consult the Diet.
The note agrees to defend the Austrian and
Prussian territories if menaced by Russia, pro.
tided Austria and Prussia will agree to defend
Germanic territory with their whole force in•
stead of their contingencies against invasions.
But the German States demand the right to re
consider before engaging in any act of aggres•
sion. Bavaria is the negotiating power be' men

The Late Reciprocity Treaty.
It appears by a Tele.Taphic despatch from

that place the provisions of the late Treaty
with Great Britain have been made public.
They are stated to be as follows :
Articles first throws open to American citi•
zens all the fisheries of Britirh America, ex•
cepting the Newfoundland months of rivers,
and the salmon, shad, and shell fiTheries.
Article second gives British subjects a richt

parallel.
Article third provides for the free exchange

merated flour .d all kinds of breadstuff's ; cut•
ton, butter, cheese, tallow, lard ; all kind, of

munanufactu red tobacco.
Article fourth throws open the River St.

de:lnking to urge the State Governments to

Article filth provides fur the ratification of
the Treaty.
Article sixth provides for includinz \ew•
foundlrtnd in the Treaty whenever she consents

Napoleon's Prophecy.
While at St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte
prophesied as follows:
'ln the course of a few years." said that off.
traordinary man, "Russia will have Omstanti•
aspic, part of Turkey, and all of Greece. This
I hold to be as certain as if already taken
place. Almost all the cajolery and flattery that
Alexander practised against me was to gain
toy consent to effect that object. I would not
give it, foreseeing that the equilibrium of Eu.
rope would be d. stroyed. In the natural course
of things Turkey must fall to Russia. The
powers it would injure, and who would oppose
It, are England, France, PlllB9lll. and Austria.
Now, as to Austria, it would be very easy for
Russia to gain her assistance, by giving her
Servia and other provinces bordering upon the
Austrian dominions, reaching near to Constan•
tinople. The only hypothesis, that Fiance and
England will ever be allied with anyth in like
sincerity, will be to prevent this. But even
this alliance would not avail. France, England
and Prussia, united, cannot prevent it. Russia
and Austria can at any time effect it. Once
m i s tr ess of coostaotiorpie, Russia gets all the
commerce t f the Mediterranean, becomr:a
great naval power, and God knows what may
happen."
This remarkable prediction is in the first
stage of its accomplishment.
The Mexican Boundary.
Our government has claimed the Meallla
Valley nn oblong square of land belongiug to
Chihuahua, and bounded on the south by the
parallel of 31 deg. 52 min. north latitude. The
new treaty disposes of this disputed claim by
malting the boundary commence on the Rio
Grande at 31 deg. 47 min., or five geographi
cal miles below the line claimed by the United
States, but still some five miles above the im
portant town of El Paso, which thus remains
in Mexico. Starting front the Rio Grande at
31 deg. 47 min., the line follows that parallel
due west a hundred mites, and then turns at
right angles and runs south 27 geographical
miles to the line of 31 deg. 20 min., when it
again bends to the west. following that line till
it reaches 111 deg. west longitude from Green
wich. Thence it proceeds in n straight Hoe,
running, northward, to a point on the Colorado
river twenty miles below its junction with tho
Gila.—Phila. Sun.
GREAT CROW lIVNT.-1110 citizens of Bed
ford county, Tenn., findine• themselves grievous.

ed upon a great "crow hunt." The plan Mop. !
ted was that any person wishing to enter the

The Tariff.
la" The Washington Intelligencer of Mon•
day, June 19th, says:
It is currently reported, and o:merely believed
that the bill fiw the modification of the Tariff
which hat been prepared be the C :Inmates of
Ways and MOWS pots iron, sugar, cotton,
woollens, wines, &e, among the articles in the
twenty per cent. list. The one hundred per
cent. duty on brandy is retained. Other rates
are five and ten per cent. no specified articles,
and fifteen per cent, on articles not enumerated.
The free list is slightly increaaed. No change
is proposed in regal to the fishing bounty. It
is not probable that the bill will receive touch
consideration at the present session.

A TOUCHING APPEAL—A Western eidtorap

"We cannot help thinking how much easier

English and other foreign powers. It is added
that the U. S. Commissioner at Honolulu has
been empowered to accept the Hawaiian group
of islands on behalf of the United States, and
to assure the native government of protection.
Front the language used it is not clear whether
this is to be absolute annexation to our Union,
or mere protection.

TRIUMPHANT OVER DISEASE.
• This truly great medicine still goes on, con
quering disease, nod snatching many a poor

qualities, it restores the use. of the lien; which
have been t skied for year=; and by , its simmlar
power of reprodueine: the synovial fluid or joint
water. it cores all discuses of the joints with
surprising rapidity. For rheumatism, and at*.
fections of the spine and spleen, it has proved
itself a specific; and tim affections of the lumzs.
liver and kidneys, it is n most valuable and
powerful auxiliary; also, for all disenses of the
glands, nerofbln, goitre or swelled neck, etc.,

an external application is required, this mot
