The Indiana Journal ngaiu. The Indiana Journal is determined that General Taylor shall not correct his Buena Vista report, and, in the last number of that paper, justifies the Colonel of the second regiment of Indiana volunteers in or' dering a retreat, and continues its abuts of General Lane. Colonel Bowles has at length found a champion in the person of the editor of the Indiana Jour
nal. He thinks, for the benefit of whiggery. General Lane must be put down, at all hazards. The
brilliant exploits of the General are making htm too popular. When an account of General Lane's expe
dition to Tehuacan and Orizaba was first published.
because the military articles belonging to Santa Anna
were divided amongst the officers, they were at once set down, by the inuendo of the Journal, as thieves
and robbers. There is a remarkable affinity between
Santa Anna and the Journal editor, which marks the
latter as a Mexican whig, of the first water. See the coincidence in their opinions of General Lane, in the following letter from Santa Anna, dated Casciltan,
February 1st 1843, a copy of which, it might be in
ferred, from the late articles In the Journal, he furwarded to his friend at Indianapolis. It reads as follows :
Most Excellent Sir : At Tehuacan I was preparing
the accompanying note, to be forwarded to your Excellency, when the people were suddenly invaded early in the morning of the 25th ulf, by four hundred
dragoons of the enemy under command of Gen. Line. They came from Mexico, and by the express order of
Gen. Scott, to take possession of my person in some
way or other. Iren. Lane by hurried marches and
journeying by night, succeeded in reaching the vici
nity or lebuacan without being perceived, fortu
nately, however, 1 was informed of his approach two hours before he came, and thus was safe from his clutches with my family, and with a small escort which accompanied me, I took refuge in the town of
Teotitlan del Camito, where there was a force from
the State of Oajaca. My persecutors forced open the
doors of my habitation, and searched for me with ex
traordinary activity, extending their search to differ
ent houses of the place. I he greater part of my
equipage was destroyed by the invading soldiers, and their chief took my wrought silver plate, two canes.
a new uniform and other things of leas value as I
have been informed.
Afier two days. Gen. Lane proceeded to Orizaba,
where he remains, having left no very favorable
recollections of himself in Tehuacan.
God and Liberty Cascaltan, Feb. 1, 1343. ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. From present appearances, we believe that the de
mand for tenements and houses this spring will ex
ceed that of any of the last seven years. At the rate
of present rents, no better investment could be made, for dwellings especially. Store rent is exceedingly high ; aud notwithstanding this, much vacant ground

Ward No. 5 Again.
The citizens of Ward No. 5, are requested to meet at
the Indianapolis Brewery, west of the canal, on
Thursday afternoon, at half past 4 o'clock, for the pur
pose of selecting a suitable person to be voted for as Slill remains open or unused. Why this is, or why
Councilman of said Ward, irrespective or party poll- the owners, who are amply able, do not improve it by
business and other buildings, is to us a mystery. As
we said bofore, the demand will be increased; but
while capitalists choose to keep their property unim
proved, our advice is for mechanics to club together,
purchase property, and build for themselves. This
can be done at better rates now by a union of means.
and especially by carpenters, blacksmiths, builders.
&c, than at any future period. With the cash, (and
in most instances a portion only need be paid,) they
have it in their power, by union and harmony, to
make for themselves permanent homes at 6mall cost;
the increased and increasing value of the property
holding pace with the time necessarily consumed in erecting suitable dwellings. While this is going on,
a portion will be employed in working abroad, and for which a greatly increased demand will be had the
coming season, thus enabling them to meet their pay
ments, should any be agreed upon.
We have heretofore urged upon our mechanics the
necessity, under existing circumstances, of combining
together for mutual interest and protection. Should
the demand, which we doubt not will shortly exist,
for an increased number be made, we recommend a
union, as shadowed forth above, of every branch, for
their mutual benefit. It is, in fact, time to begin

Major Semans, collector, &c, under the Butler bill, is still forced to remain at his post as editor, owing to his would-be successors not meeting their engagements. We are sorry for the Major; but he will one day know how much dependence to put in such whiglings. As we like fun, we are induced to transcribe the following extract from a high-faluting article, written by one of the Major's political friends on the occasion of his supposed retirement, and in the usual style of the editor, whose name we suppress in charily : Ah! in the editor of a newspaper, we have a singular compound of that which is rare, natural, artificial, reliable, imaginative, indigenous, exotic, impenetrable, exuberant, impervious ! He is a mysterious kaleidoscope, in which all the fag-ends of thought, emotion, impulse, are embodied, concentrated, systematized, co

The parson says, it does a heap of harm for a man, with Taylor's influence, to say the like of that; and then he talked gist like that lecturer did to-night.

The Teeatt. We give in another column, the vote on the Treaty, and a synopsis of its articles and
provisions, which we copy from the New York Her
ald. We have no means of judging of its correctness
any further than that it is corroborated in its prin
cipal features by others and more respectable papers.
If this vote is correct, the people will easily see the means resorted to by the whigs to prevent a
peace that they may thereby not lose their tear
capital. This vote should certainly open the eyes of
the people to the rascality of the Mexican whig lead
ers ; and while they are contending for peace with
their lips, and in a manner derogatory to our honor as
a nation, we here see them opposing it.
Our Pavements. We don't know that we should
ever again have alluded to the wretched state of the
fide-pavemeat on Washington street unless some un
fortunate individual had broken their legs or their neck.
But havinc been frequently asked of late "what is
the matter with the pavement on the south side, espe
cially a portion in front of the Falmer House," we
have concluded to give the reason as explained by a southern gentleman, who beard the query, and which
may or may not explain the cause. He "supposed

Mr. Clay's Bodv Servant. At the arrival of Mr.
Clay on board of the Vanderbilt at Amboy, says the
N. Y. Globe, it was noticed that he was accompanied
by a mulatto, with a carpet bag in his hand, whom
every body supposed to be the body servant of this
distinguished statesman, and the nigger was accord
ingly treated with marked respect by the Reception
Committee, furnished with lodgings at the New York
Hotel, put into tall feed of all kinds, and suffered to

Good. The Senate of Yirginia has rejected a bill
providing for the issue of small notes by the banks of
that State. Her people will be enriched thereby, and have an "equal law to secure to all equal rights," in

were responsible to the country for what was done
there, as they had the majority, and could and did do as they pleased.
1 Iiis last remark of Mr. Sawyer brought up Mr.
Giddings. He denied that the whigs were responsi
ble for what was done there ; that they had not the
majority in the House, as the vuto just taken for free
territory showed ; that they were in a minority of twelve.' lie dcclated that there was no longer any
such party as the whig party, any more than there
was a democratic party; both had been dissolved. He then went into Presidential matters; eaid that a
strong effort was being made to have nominated by
the wings a man whose principles w ere unknown, be
cause he either had none, or was ashamed to avow
them. He told-his whig friends that fur himself, and he knew it wos also the determination of his whig constituents that neither he nor they, were jroing again to bo Tylerizcd ; that vhen they voted for a
mnn, ho must be a whig, and nothing but a wing; his principles must be openly proclaimed and well understood. He asked what was known of General
Taylor's principles; who could tell any thing about
them 1 iNobody ; for he ( Taylor) did not know himself what they were. He would ask the gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Andrew Stewart,) whether
Gen. Taylor was for a high protective tariff? Mr. Stewart. He is, sir. Mr. Giddings. I would ask my friend from South Carolina what he says on that subject whether he does not consider Gen. Taylor a free trade man ! Mr. Simms. I don't consider him anything. Mr. Giddings. Will my friend from Pennsylvania, who has been named as a suitable person for the Vice Presidency on the same ticket with General Taylor, tell me what are the General's principles 1 Mr. Stewart. Gen. Taylor eays that if elected President, he will administer the government according to the constitution. Mr. Giddings. That is what every demagogue in the country 6ays, who wants to humbug the people. I am not to be humbugged in that way. I want to know his principles. Can the gentleman from Pennsylvania tell what General Toy lor will do, if elected, in reference to certain great measures?

And Mr. Giddings resumed and continued asking questions, and toasting the Taylor whigs until his hour expired. Mr. Henley, of la., next obtained the floor, and commended the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Giddings) to bis brother whigs, as an independent spoken man, who, seeing that his whig friends were about to practice a deception on the country by nominating Gen. Taylor fur the Presidency, came out and expoeed the iniquity.
Mr. Duer. By what authority docs the gentleman
from Indiana 6av that th s whigs are going to nominate
Gen. Taylor? For himself he would av, and he al;o
spoke the sentiments of the whigs about him, thai no
person would be nominated who was not a thoroughgoing whig, and who would not openly proclaim him.

Mr. Henley then commenced questioning Mr. Duer,
who would answer, and then explain, and answer and
explain, until he got his whig mends in such a muss that they really began to manifest, by their confusion, that Giddings had told the truth about them. This lasted an hour, when Mr. Henley's time expired, much to the apparent satisfaction of the whig side of the House. The whole scene was racy and rich. The blank countenances, the vehement talking and gesticulation among the whigs, their moving to and fro some of them leaving the Hall all showed that the medicine administered by Giddings and Henley, was physicing them most terribly. If an accurate report of it was taken at the time by any of the reporters, its publication would be well worth a perusal. So opened the ball to-day. When will it stop rolling 1

Destructive Fire is Boston. The Dickinson Printing Establishment and tix Stores Burnt. On the night of the 10th, the above well known establishment was destroyed. It was one of the most perfect in all its arrangements, in this country it comprised all branches typefounding, stereotyping, engraving, book printing, card printing, every variety of job and fancy printing, book binding, &c. The type foundry only belonged to Mr. Dickinson, the other portion he sold to Messrs. Damrell & Moore eight months since. Tlie loss is total, says the Boston Bee, and more than one hundred hands are thrown out of employ. The printing house extended from 44 to 52 Washington street on the first story were fancy dry goods, &c. on the second floor a large tailoring establishment, &e. This is represented as the most disastrous fire that has visited Boston for a long time. Two elegant granite blocks extending from No. 42 to 50 are in ruins, involving a loss, it is said, of 300,000.
A Novel and Pleasant Affair. The ladies of Hartford, Conn., gave a grand Leap Year Ball in that city on Tuesday evening, at the City Hotel, at which seventy couple were present. The arrange nents of the nine lady managers were well adapted to the occasion, and every thing- was conducted in the moat appropriate and orderly manner. The whole order of ball room gallantry was reversed. The gentlemen were seated around the hall, and the ladies, with card in hand, were passing along, engaging partners, and introducing each other to the gentlemen. Notwithstanding the fact that ladies took the lead, there was a becoming modesty displayed which had the happiest effect. There was never a more chaste, happy, innoceut party assembled in Hartford. At midnight supper was announced. The "delicacies" and the " substantials," the solid and fancy, were spread out in profusion- The ladies waited upon the gentlemen, and the entertainment was well disposed of. After supper the dance was resumed, and the party finally broke up in the most cheerful manner. N. Y. True Sun.
Important Contradiction. A Washington correspondent of the New York Herald thus contradicts several important rumors which have been extensively circulated amonj the papers, first originating, we believe, in that paer: " lt has been stated that Mr. Sierra has applied on behalf of Yucatan to be annexed to the United States ; and further, that he has protested against the treaty. He has done neither. No official proposition for annexation has ever come from Yucatan. No proposition, official or otherwise, has come through Mr. Sierra. Mr. Robiera did mention, unofficially and casually, that he wished such' a measure could be compassed ; but the suggestion never received encouragement from this government. There is no foundation for the statement that Mr. Sierra has protested against the ratification or acceptance of the treaty with Mexico." Bait. Sun.
OT-Maffitt, the celebrated preacher, who has been beating the "drum ecclesiastic for a quarter of a century, after he " sunk the tailor," was separated from one wife a few years since, and then married another, a very young woman, at Brooklyn, N. York, where the incensed inhabitants disturbed the wedding night with a tust boisterous charivari, which it was difficult to quiet. This couple have lately separated ; and we suppose this pet among the ladies will soon lend some other bride to the altar. If so, it is hoped the happy pair will be sewed together with stronger thread than that which bound him aud his former wives together. A chapter about the doings of this man vhrn he graced eome of the pulpits of Provi
dence, might be edifying to the present generation.
XV. J. H'TOW. v
Msjority for the treaty, -
Among those voting for the ratification are four who spoke against it. Of the four Senators not voting, two are absent from the city Messrs. Houston and Pcarcc. The articles 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 jurisdiction of the Mexican church over tlie Catholic clergy in the ceded territory, is also stricken out. Theee are the principal modifications. It will be recollected that the treaty indicates two modes of paying the indemnity Bgreed upon one by the issue of six per cent, stocks, or by instalment. The latter mode has been adopted. The three millions subject to Mr. Triet's order, are to be paid immediately upon the ratification of the treaty, by tlie Mexican government, and the remainder in annual' instalments 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 former synopsis, and preserved in the treaty, is an article securing to the United States the free navigation of the Gulf of California, and of the river Colorado from the mouth of the Gila to the Gulf. Mr. Allen closed the debate this evening with a
speech, which is universally acknowledged to have been one of extraordinary power. It is not as yet determined whether a commissioner ßhall be sent or not. He is sent. The following is a sketch of the articles of the treaty, as adopted by the Senate. It is, probably, as
correct as a compressed sketch can be made : Articles and Provisions of the Treaty, as adopted by the American Senate. Article first appointed Senors Cuveas, Conto, and Atristrin, Commissioners on the part of the Mexican government to adjust terms of a lasting treaty of a peace between tlie United States of the North and the United Mexican States, with Nicholas P. TiLst, commissioner of the U. States, (fee. Article second stipulates that there shall be an immediate suspension of hostilities between the armies of the two republics. Article third 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 to its intersection with tho southern boundary of New Mexico ; thence along the southern boundary to the western boundary of same; thence north to the first branch of the Gila, which it intersects ; thence down the middle of that branch and of the river to the Colorado ; thence it runs across westwardly, and strikes the Pacific at a point one league south of San Diego. The free navigation of the Gulf of California and of the rher Colorado, from the mouth of the Gila to the Gulf, is secured to the United States. Article fourth stipulates that it shall be optional with citizens of Mexico now residing in the territory to be ceded, either to leave, taking with them or otherwise disposing of their property, or else, upon taking the oathe of allegiance to this government, to be protected in the enjoyment of all the rights and immunities of citizens of the United States. The next article provides that the United States government shall take prompt and effectual measures for the defence of the border from Indian incureions. To this end both nations are to use their best endeavors. In consideration of the extension of the boundary of the United States, made by this treaty, the United States government stipulates to pay to Mexico the sum of fifteen millions of dollars. In this sum is included .r?e millions appropriated last Eession for the utterance of peace, and now subject to Mr. Trist's order. This sum is to be paid to the Mexican government immediately on the ratification of the treaty. The remaining twelve millions are to be paid in four annual instalments, bearing six percent, interest from the ratification of the treaty by Mexico. No portion of this aum is to be transferable. According to the article, the United States government undertakes to pay all claims of American citizens against Mexico, both those already decided, aud those Till undecided the whole, however, not to amount to more than three millions 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 1331, between the two republics, is to be revived for the period of eight years, and may afterwards be renewed at the option of both governments. The custom houses are to be restored to tlie Mexican authorities as soon cs the treaty shall have been ratified. Means are to be adapted for settling the accounts. The troops of the United States are to leave Mexico in three months after the ratification of the treaty, unless the sickly season should come on, in which event they are to retire to some healthy situation, and are to bo furnished with supplies by the Mexican government, on amicablo terms. The supplies which may arrive between the ratification of the treaty and the embarkation of the troops, are not to be subject to duty. Tho treaty is to be ratified by the President and Senate, and to be exchanged within four months alter its ratification. The boundnry of New Mexico is to be defined as laid down in Dislur.iell's map of M -xico, published a) New York in 1347. Several unimportant articles are omitted.
