Wasurnoton, March 13, 1848 The Treaty—The President The System of Closed Doors. While this treaty will be received with passive acquiesence by most people, it will produce no enthusiasm in the country. This is not a peo- ple who love retreating, and the tergiversations ofa timid President, though they may be toler- ated for the sake of peace, will never be endors- ed. The President’s organ, with ludicrously bad grace, attempts faintly, to laud the treaty, and, in doing so, is compelled to use those arguments that, after the example of Mr. Polk him- self, it denounced as treason two short months ago. It would not be atall surprising, though such eflrontory 1s scarcely to be im: gined,ifan attempt would now be made by this fa- cile instrument of Mr. Polk, to prove that he has been wholly consistent throughout, and that the treaty is fully up to all his positions and de- elarations. That he has influenced many yotes in the Senate by such or some other similar re- presentations, is demonstrable. Such an attempt to practise upon public credulity is scarcely con- ceivable; yet it was not to be expected that Mr. Poik would have avowed his weakness; incon- sistency, when detected, never gives up, but boldly adds impudence to imposture. ‘The treaty willbe productive of some good result. When every thing connected with it shall be made known—the mode of its negotia- tion—the manner in which the negotiator was tricked into it by interested parties—the corres- pondence which led to 1t—the expedients resort- ed to by the President to ensure its ratification— the spells by which some men were spirited away, and others gained over toits support, there will be a universul demand that forever hereaf+ ter, pending the deliberations on a treaty, the Senate’s doors sholl remain open. I say, with entire confidence, that during the deliberations on the treaty, there was nothing brought for- ward of which the people had nota right to be informed, or the revelation of which would have affected the issue of peace or war in the slight- est manner. How could there be? Mexico 19 prostrate. Au anomalous government, like the Just India juggler, suspended in the air without any visible support—without popular sufira- ges, or party strength—self constituted for aught that appears to the contrary—by the aid of an Englishman of the name of Thornton, (Hea- ven only knows by what authority acting,) tricks Mr. Trist into the concoction of an inta- mous treaty—for infamous it was, as it came from his hands, providing, as it did, for the plun- der of half the people of ‘Cexas of their property —this same Mr. Trist at the same time violating alaw of the United States, in holding any inter- course whatever with this. queer Mexivan go- vernment. So bald is the imposture attempted to be compassed in the treaty, that even the Pre- sident is ashamed to send it to the Senate with- out bearing witness against some of its provi- sions. ‘Thus ts the thing which 1s so sacred that it must be kept from the view of the people. This is the document, bearing the deep impress of illegality aud fraud, about which Mr. Polk en- joins his cabinet not to breathe a word, and which he communicates in solemn secresy to the Senate, at the same time that members of his own household are permitted to convey, in mys- terious whispers, to those of their especial ac- quaintances, so much of the truth as wiil barely serve todelude. But it is said, if the Senate’s deliberations were public, the treaty would be defeated. This argument 1s used in blind ignorance of its ten- dency. If it have any meaning at all, it is that the people would not tolerate the ratification of this treaty, it allits concomitants were known. Then if it be not such asthe people would ap- prove of, let. it be defeated. The Senate, re- spectable ag it is, as a body, does not monopolise all the wisdom, and patriotism, and integrity of the country. Its powers, as some Senators would do well to reflect, are but delegated, and it has no right to say yes when the people say ao. If, then, the Senate thought an exposure would defeat the treaty, they ought, from reapect to the source whence the power is derived, have thrown open their doors, and listened with de- ference to the voice of the people. It is not perhaps generally known that fora year alter the first constitution of the Senate, it sat with closed doors, until at length the waves of popular opinion dashed down the frail barriers erected by prerogative, to hedge in from protane contact With the people, its most vain and empty, dignity. Side by side, with the young virtues of republica on still grew the old vices of monar- chy. A potion of them was torn up by the in- dignant people; # portion of them, it is to be re- gretted, still remains; but will not remain’ long alter the transactions of this negotiation shall have been brought to light. Prerogative in a monarchy may be tolerated; itis the breath of 11s nostrils, without which it cannot exist; in a republic it is either the ofispring of stolid va- nity, or a silly and ill-concealed uping of de- spotism. I have always found that those Senators who most strenuously advocate the system ot closed doors, are always the least economical of the Senate’s secrets. But another argument is used in support of the enforcement of the system in the case of this treaty. Itis said that if the provisions of the treaty were known in Mexico by the people gen- erally, it would never be consummated. If this treaty be such, that upona {ull understanding of it by the people of Mexico and the people ef this country, it would be scouted by both, or by either, then it should never have been negotiated, still less should it have been sent in to the Senate with the recommendation of the President and least of all should it ever have been ratified by the American Senate. I do not mean to pro- nounce judgment on the acts of the Senate, though at full liberty to call in question the wis- dom of their decision, but merely to expose the weakness of this argument for closed doors. GALVIENSIS. Wasutxaron, March 13, 1848. Mr. Polk's Ambition for‘a Second Term—A Letter Srom Tennessee—Col. Zadock Pratt—The Pre- sidency. Mr. Polk has become alarmed for fear that, before the meeting of the Baltimore convention, his secret designs and schemes fora second term will be generally known by those not in his se- cret confidence. The leading friends of Mr. Buchanan have, within a few days past, been lulled into a false security. One of them, a few days ago, said to me, “Oh, Mr. Pollk will not be inthe way: that’s all arranged.” Yes, it is arranged, as was the cat in the meal tub. We now have openly in the field, on the de- mocratic sid¢:—1, Mr. Cass ; 2, Mr. Buchanan ; 8, Mr. Woodbury. A letter has recently been received in this city by_a government oflicer, irom a very distin- guished Tennessean,gwhich has opened the eyes of, atleast, one candidate for the Presidency. ia this letter, the true design is exposed. M Polk isto be pressed, in the contingency that neither Cass, Buchanan, nor Woodbury, can get the nomination. The writer says: **Mr. Polk’s friends cannot take part in any contest between the present rivals for the Presideacy, especially when they are all wrong on one cardinal point in the democratic creed, viz: opposition to in- ternal improvements by the general government. We, of our own accord, shall not present his name fora nomination. Bat who does not see that, under the two-third rule, and amid the present quarrels, he is the man to eventually succeed? He asks nothing, yet if the party come to him, as the only man to serve the party, he canot refuse the srerifice.” Mr. Poik, however, should not too fondly ex- pect such @ state of things. There may be some one who nobody knows, that may, (as he hun- self was,) be brought forward as an available. There are hundreds who would make ‘ the sa- erifice"’ For our part, we go for Col. Zadock Pratt, of New York, a man of more industry, en- terprise, honesty, aud common sense, than all the Presidential aspirants combined. ‘Lhe bone and sinew, the working men,, the mechanics and the agriculturists, woula come up to his sup- port; and why shail we not have a * practical” man tor our executive! More than nine-tenths of our countrymen earn their bread honestly, by toil, and it would be to them as creditable to take Mr. Pratt as it was in the Romans to call Cincinnatus from his plough BIAX.
