TREATYYlETWEEN MEXICO AND TEXAS.We are happy to have it in our power

to lay before' our readers some extractsfrom a correspondence relating to a treatyof peace between Mexico and Texas,"upon the basis of an acknowledgementof the independence of the latter." Hadwe room, the whole shotrld appear ; buthere follows the substance.-President Jones communicated, on the

28th ut14 to the Texan Congress, a letterfrom Haron Alleye de Cjrey, announcingthat the Alexican government, under theauthority of Congress. had "acceded to

the four preliminary articles which the-decretary of State of Texas had remittedto the Charges d'Affaires of France andEnland near your government, andwhich these last had transmitted to me

and to the Minister of her Brittanic Ma-jesty, to be presented to the Executivepower of Mexico.

S "The act of acceptation; clothed withthe necessary forms. will be handed byMr. Elliott to the Serretary of State ofthe Texan government, and your Excel-lency n ill thence find yourself in t situa-tion to name cottiisioners~to regonTatewith Mexico the definite treaty betweenMexico and Texas.

The success which has crowned our

ef'orts has only been oittained by inuchtanagemeft of succeptibilities. But Ishould say that the dispositions of theExecutive power have never appeaircddoubtful to toe, and that they give me thehope of a solution proper to satisfy thetwo parties and to assure their reciprocalwell being."

'T'hen flow some general expressionsof good feeling, which are of no momenthere ;!bui " the conditione preliminary toa treaty of peace".are as follows:

1st. Mexico consents to acknowledgethe indeindence of Texas.

2d. Texas engages that she will stipu-haIc in the treaty not to annex herself or

become subject to any country whatever.3d. Liwits and -other conditions to be

matter. of ar.arnament in the final treaty." These --cidition," are s;gued by

Ashbel Smith. Secretary of State, underdate of %91th March last.

Upon itis the GoVerintert of Mexicoapplied to the Na:i'nai Congress for theauthltrity. which was granted in the follon-ing form. Some questions of ve-racit3may depend upon this annunciation:The Government is ainhorised to hear

the propositions whicd Texas has made,and to proceed to the arrangement or ceebration of the Treaty, that may be fit andhonorable to the Republic. giving an ;ic-court to Congress for itsexamination andapproval."

In acceding to thte;e conditiots. the See-retary of Foreign it elatiutis of .lexicoinsisted on, or super:tlded. the fol lowingDeclaration :

It is understood. that besides the fourprelim'inary articles proposed by Texas.

but from a letter received by a highly ro

at that time. They were successful inthe movement, meeting with little or no

opposition. The people remained quiet.but the commercial commumity were dis-satis6ed with the movement, fearful of its

lately been -iade by Messrs. Cooper and3arrilon, both competent Engineers, who

report favorably in -regard to the project.The region of cnuntry through which it isdesigned to run is particularly eligible forthe purpose-the distance is scarely over

twelve miles. At the indicated teomnithe two rivers seem to bend inward, as ifto effect that embrace which the offices ofart should lung since have brought aboutbetween them; and the public feeling,throughtiur ColletoITb is eaiger for the cormmencetment of the comemplated work.-Tiat District alone, we are usaiured on

that of tihe Unite- States, no nation on

earth had a right to interfere. Thisdoes'nt look much like war.

A QUERY.'Brother Baker.-Youknow that I don't

ask many favors of you now. If you willanswer -this query, perhaps I may nottrouble you again shortly.What should bo done with a brother

who would borrow money from a brotherat 12J per cent, and at the end of theyear plead usury, and cut his brother outof all the interest? Give attention to this.and you will oblige.

A SUBSCRIBER.June 25th. 1845.AZSwEi,, I. We think it morally wrong

for a christian to violate his word, merelybecause the law will not force him.to keepit. The christian should feel that he isunder obligations, mdre solemn than anywhich hu an laws can impose, to keephis word inviolate. He should be,

" True to the oath he takes.Though to his hurt he swears."

Does h' plead, it is wrong to exact usu-

ry ? and. that he who is guilty of thiswirong.deserves to suffer for it ? We re-

ply, if it be wrong to exact usury, it is

equally ,wren; to engage to pay usury;and if one cleserves to suffer for his wrongdc.ing, so does the other. Two wrongscan never make one wrong right. If I dowrong, in promising to pay 'usury. thedoing wrong by violating my word, willnot make the first wrong right-it can

only make the doubly guilty, and rendertme liable to the suspicion of havine pre-meditated the wrong. 'l'he christain :s.

taught to avoid ill appearance of evil.2. To withhold the usurious interest, is

bad enough, out to witihold the legal interest, because the law will not compel itspayment, is still worse. It indicates a

dispouitim. it appears to us. to appropriate another'a property.to our ow n benefit,without relering an equivalrnt for. it.when .we cait do Si) with imponity. Theacting out this disposition, im oher cases,is usually denominat.-d robbery.3 But whaishall we do with a brother

&c. We atsa er. teach hit th' way ofthe Lord noru thoron.:bly. implore par-don of Gol for his ohlince and the en-

lighiemnig in fluence of the H oly Spirit,that lie may see and understand the evilnature of his tileoe, and he made a illingto make restitution for the rung he hasdone, as far as lie may be able so to o.--

If after we have done this-all this-h.:still refuses to "deal justly," wiihdrawvfrom titm and leave him to tie judgmentof God.We hope that nothing we have said

ubrve will be construed as justifying one,in taking advantage of the necessities of.abrother, to exact fromt him usurious inter-est. \Vo deprecate such conduct. as beingat variance both u ith the spirit and letterof God's word. The mhan vhto will, dothis, and the man who voluntarily proni-ses to pay usuri-aus interest, and afterwardswilru1 violates his promise, will alike befound wanting, when weighed ii the bal-ance of Eternal justice. $ntch are ourviews of the subj.ect involved in the query.We offer them with all clue deference to

the opinion of those who may differ fromus.-Index.GRAM)N COUNCIL G 0N~
