New York. report evidently refers to the one alluded to in the Picayune's letter from Mexico, dated May 17, but which was. contradicted by the letter of the 18th. Baltimore Patriot, of Saturday. known, have been extracted from the Mexico American papers and published in the Mexican language, tending to open the eyes of the people to the abases of those who claim to be their spiritual guides.

Wo hope to see the school, the academy and tlio church follow iu their proper order. In this country, the acquisitions', secured by the treaty, are far from being small or unimportant. We are, by it, placed in possession of about one third of Mexico, which, with our advancing population, swelled to a mighty tide by the fugitives from Europe who are pouring in upon us from the scenes of blood and oppression abroad, by thousands, will soon begin to bud and blossom as the rose and teem with au active, busy, enterprising, happy population. Seventy years ago the idea that the valley of the Mississippi would ever be peopled looked much more preposterous than what we have here stated. It is now dotted with large cities and diviued into great states.

It is clear that the Pacific coast is not much longer to be neglected. A bill is uow before Congress for organizing a territorial government in Oregon, and a stream of omigrants is constantly flowing thither. In view of this fact, the recent acquisition of California is all important. Tho bay and harbor of San FrauBisco is said to be the most splendid in the wide world, and the great city or the Pacific is to be eroded on its borders. From this point wo may expect, in due time, a chain of railroad com muuications to be opened with the States, and the empire of the Pacific thus linked with that of the Atlantic.

Whoever, then, supposes that this war is to be without any practical advantage to mankind, has looked at it only with jauDdicedeyes. In all human prol lability, it will prove more glorious and more truly advantageous, than any event of this century. Tub Niagara. The Niagara left Liverpool May 20th, at 2 P. arrived at Halifax, N.

31st MONDAY EVENIIV4J, JUNE 5. Democratic Nominations. FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED BTATEJ9, LEWIS CASS, OF MICHIGAN. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, WILLIAM O. BUTLER, OF KENTUCKY.

Peace with Mexico. jgj There appears to Be no reasonable doubt that the treaty, negotiated by Mr. Triet, Las been accded to, ts modified, by Mexico and that we are, at length, to have peace. Moat heartily do we rejoice at this result, although the terms of the treaty arc, by no means, such as we approve. But the peace is on terms highly honorable to ua and abundantly generous to Mexico.

It does not degrade us as a nation aud we feel at liberty therefore to rejoice, although our reasonable expectations in regard to it have not been met. We are not among those who regard the war as unjust. On the other hand we hold that if ever a War was provoked by insult and wrong, it was this war with Mexico. After pluuderiug our citizens, in sultiDgour flag, and refusing to comply with her own solemn treaty stipulations, she threatened war in case Texas was annexed aud began offensive operations by the murders committed on the Rio Grande and the abortive attempt to cutoff Gen. Taylor and surround and capture his little army.

War was, consequently, our only resource. We triod negotiation but sho refused to receive our messenger or even to hear our propositions. War ia always to be deplored. It is a great, a monstrous evil. But it is uot always without its beneficial results.

The war of the Revolution, it is now generally acknowledged, has poured the must transcendent blessings, not only on this nation, but on the world. It enabled us to try the experiment of self government, and our wonderful example has done more for the cause of humauity in the old world than all other things combined. The war of 1812 was assailed with even more violence than tt Miunuiun, juut) tm. i. 'uibjjuluii wmcu nag just been received irom fetersburgh, brings extracts from the N.

O. Delta, containing additional peace news. Orders had been issued calling in tho outposts of the army, which expected to march for the coast between the 1st and 15th of June. Gon. Worth's division, it is stated on good authority, is to be ordered to California.

The Union publishes a confirmation of the ratification of peace with Mexico. General Persifor Smith has been appointed superintendent of the embarcatiou of the forces of Vera Cruz. The steamboat Andrew Kcuuoy, Captain Miller, oxploded on the Tombigbee River last Sunday. Thirty persons are killed or missing, twelve badly wounded, and two dreadfully scalded. The boat sunk soon after the explosion, and tho wounded were conveyed to the Marine Hospital, where the best medical attention was provided.

The Treaty ratified. Further intelligence by the Edith puts tho ratification of the Treaty beyond doubt. The following confirmatory despatch was received on Saturday evening Macon, Juno 3, 1848. Tho treaty was ratified by the Mexican Chamber of Deputies on the 17th at 6 o'clock, p. m.

Vole 51 to 35. The other branch of congress will, no doubt, approve it by a large vote The following also was published in an evening edition of Saturday Baltimore, June 3. "A privato letter has been received here from Jalapa, dated tho 20th which confirms the ratification of the treaty." The general joy occasioned ou Saturday by the announcement ol peace morning papers, was somewhat dashed in the course of the afternoon, by the publication or an extra from the office of the Tribune, with intelligence that a courier had arrived at Washington, in fourteen days from Mexico, who brought news of a successful reyolutiou achieved by Paredes, aud of the repudiation of the treaty. Happily there is 110 foundation whatever for this statement. The same fictitious news is published more iu detail in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin of Saturday, wherein it is said that the government courier, Mr.

Collins, left the city of Mexico, May 17th, and reached Washington Juue 3d, makiug the journey to be seventeen days, instead of fourteen as stated in th. telegraphic despatch. But news from the city of Mexico of May later, was received here on Friday evening, and published in the Saturday morning papers. The intelligence was that, at the session at Queretaro on the 16th, the Chamber of Deputies was engaged in an animated (the letter says discussion on the treaty, aud that the vote would probably be taken iu that branch of the Mexican congress on Saturday the 20th. The steamer New Orleans, from Vera Cruz the 22d, announced that the Edith would be detained to bring the result, which is doubtless correctly given above.

Jour, of Com. Tlie raizor vs. the forceps or Pnl finer v. utherliig'. The word topufl" and its derivations puff; puffing Sic.

has proved to be an exceedingly useful ad dition to the Euglish vocabulary and has had a very fair run. There is another word, however, which is equally expressive aud which, on account of its freshness, softens audexpressiveness bids fair to su persede the other. We refer to the word lather." The two words have recently had a practical illustration to which we beg to'call the attention of the reader. Our very ingenius and astute friend, Dr. Norlhall of 83 Fulton street, wishing to turn an honest penny by suggesting to the public that he was exactly the person (as no doubt he is) to take care of their grinders, did it after the following unique fashion, which will move to illustrate what we mean by PUFFING.

The improvements which are daily mado in tho practice of dentistry are fast gaining to the art a favorable and distinguished position in public estimation. It is not much more than a quarter of a century back, that in Europe barbers and surgeons were au incoporaied body, and a man could get his chin shaved or his leg amputated iu the same shop. Surgery, however, oue day took a leap from the soap dish, cut the razor, repudiated curling irons and set up for itself an independent science, although some obstinate miuded people will still maintain that a relict of the barbarous clings to it yet. Be this as it may, there is no doubt that surgery dissolved concection with its former partner, its progress has been marked with a succession of the most brilliant scientific triumphs, and it uow stands among the most dignified and important of human pursuits. When Burgery first deserted latherdom, it left one or two of its subordinate branches iu the hands of the 'old we presume bv way of conciliation, anu iouui urawiug and Dieediug continued to be practised in the barbaric states.

The progress of luxury and the consequent increase of dental trouole, caused an increased demand for skill in ttie exercise oi tootn extracting, so that at length, came to be practised by men wno made it tneir only pursuit. Left to the study of this one pursuit, it is not sur prising that its professors should seek to enlarge the sphere ol their usefulness, and make their profession not only more valuable to the community, but more prontawe io memselves. He various diseases to which the teeth are liable, could not fail to attract their attention, and elicit a strong desire to discover remed.es. This inquiring Bpirit once awakened, as the result shows, could not tail to result impor tant discoveries and useful inventions. It is uot my purpose to trace the progress of tho dental art from its first rude condition to its present comparitive state ol periection, but simply to claim for the pro fcBsion as it now stands, the consequence and utility which oeiongs to me nignesi uraucnes ol surgery.

Dentistry is now practiced by aB accomplished aud well educated men as are engaged in any of the liberal prefessions; aud we would like the puMic to understand that shaving is not done in the office of any respectable dentist in this day When I commenced this letter, I only intended to have called attention to the application which is now beiug made of Gutta Percha, or the preparations of which, that is the base, for the purpose of filling teeth. I cauuot speak very decidedly of the meiits ol any of the preparations which I have seen, as a means of permanently stopping a cavity time sufficient not having elapsed yince it has been introduced, to warrant a strong expression in favor of its durability. There are, however, cases in which it may be used, I think, with great propriety and advantage. I allude to children's teeth. It ofieu happens that the first teeth of childrcu decay at a very early period, and produce a great deal of pain and suffering.

It is not aways judicious to ox tract these teeth at a very early period, nor is it scarcely worth while logo to the expense aud trouble of filling them with the costly material usually employed for filling teeth, to say nothing of the refractory opposition of the littlo patieuls themselves. In these cases, I think the Gutta Percha filling, which is easy of application and cheap, may be employed with the greatest advantage. In the several cases I havo tried the experiment, it has been attended with the greatest success. I beg to call the attention of parents to this fact. It must be acknowledged that the Doctor, in thus puffing his own profession, was not so dainty as he might ha'vebecu in speaking of another profession.

Now, Mr. C'arnes of No. Cl Fulton street, does not puff" himseh' as every body knows. He leaves that to doctors ana' men of literary attainments. But, Mr.

Carnes "Ialhe.rs" most magnificeutly and, as there is no law against man's Lathering him self, he has given us the following specimen of LATHERING. The astonishing improvements which been mado of late years in tho Toueorial have projessiune lujjjuriani ana Not many years since, this art was associated with, aud consequently degraded by, surgery, leeching, tooth drawing, In view of these facts, no one can be surprised to learn that such connections had a tendency to lower the art in the estimation of a discriminating public," aud that such epithots as barbcrous, barberism, were applied to it. Even the Professors of the Science were, by their indiscreet association with such inhuman practices, culled Barbara, afterwards corrupted to Barber. Hair dressing, however, one day resolved to cut all connection with cutting human flesh, to withdraw itself entirely from tooth drawing, aud to let bloud lettmg no longer impede its onward progress. Loft to the pursuit of this oue science 'lis no wonder that wonderful discoveries were made by its professors, who very properly profiting by tho proper position it had assumed, pursued tho profession profitably.

The multitude of diseases incident to the human hair, became a matter of investigation and inquiry, and could not fail to elicit a strong desire to dis oover remedies, the greatest of which is the "justly celebrated Carrie's Hair Wash for beautifying the hair, and to prevent its falling oft'." 'Tib uot my purpose to trace the progress of the art through its va rious stages to its present enviable position suffice it lo say, that since it dissolved all conuectiou with the barbarisms and ungcutlemanly business of pulling teeth which plainly evinces that its "eye teeth are cut it has taken a high rank among the sciences and is now practiced by men of liberal minds und enlarged understandings and we would like to make the public aware of the fact, that tooth pulling and leeching are not practiced at any respectable hair dressing saloon in this city. They are continued, we believe, to some extent, by the other half" of the profession as it was. The rapid spread of civilization is owing in a great degree to the improvements in the art ton sol ial." By means of it, mau naturally crinigorous and rendered smooth and prepossessing. When I commenced this letter, I intended only to have called attention to the celebrated Kesau Soap," as rendering importaut services in shaving ma de easy." I can speak very decidedly of the merits of this article, as in every case where I have made the application it has beeu attended with the most perfect success. There are cases, hewoverrwhere common brown soap may be used lo advantage.

I allude to the adolescent period in the mutation from infancy to manhood, when the beard is soft aud downy, common soap may in such cases answer every purpose, and much expense will be saved by substituting it for the more costly Kesau." Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce Washington, Saturday, Juue 3d. There is a strange rumor that the delegates from Ohio to the Whig convention will secede should Gon. Taylor be the nominee. There appears to be no foundation for the rumor that Gen. Taylor is coming on tu Washington at this time for the purpose of attending any Court of Inquiry or any other purpose.

The Oregon bill came up again, in the Senate, to day. The men of moderate views are likely to prevail on the question of the slavery restriction. The form in the bill was left last evening secures to the inhabitants of the territory of Oregon the rights and privileges heretofore granted to the territory of Iowa and the existing Laws now in force in the territory of Oregon, under the authority ol the provisional government established by the people thereot, snail continue to be voted and operated thereiu, so far as the same be not incompatible with the provisions ol this act, or in violation of any right by the laws oT constitution of the United Mates, vested or secured to the citizens of the uni ted Zstates, or any of them, dj c. The existiug lawa now in force," in Oregon, prohibit slavery. The Senate confirm these laws, provided they do not violate the rights vested in the citizens of the south over their slaves.

That is the meaning of this clause, and it was adopted by the moderate portion ol the Senate. By this compro mise, it is left to the judiciary to determine whether the exclusion ol slavery irom the territory is a violation of the rights of southern slaveholders. Mr. Westcott went into au argument to day, to show that the above clause was an abandonment of the rights of the South, for that the Judiciary had decided that they had no jurisdiction over questions arising under the ordinance of 1787, and that no remedy could be obtained by the South from the Supreme Court. There would never have been any difficulty on the subject as to Oregon, where slavery cannot exist, but for the reason that we have acquired, or are about to acquire, a large portion of the territory of iVlexico As the question is to be seriously contested as soon as we proceed to establish territorial government in Mexico, or to make appropriations to fulfil the stipulation ol the treaty, therefore, neither party is willing to yield any advantage to the other in regard to Oregon.

The presidential question enters into this matter. Mr. Hale has threatened that a thunder storm shall roll aloug the banks of the Ohio against the nominee of the Whig Convention meaning Gen. Taylor. Mr.

Underwood declared to day, that when the time should arrive that the people of the free States would uot vote for a President from a slave holdiug regiou, the Uuiou would be sundered. Mr. Hale had previously exclaimed, that a Union cemented only by the blood of slavery, ought to be sundered. Mr. Underwood was reminded that the Northern dough faces would support slavery.

Mr. U. said that if there were men in the North, who, seeing the evils of this crusade against the South, were willing to harmonize with the South upon the Constitution, they deserved the greatest cred t. Mr. U.

in sisted upon striking out from the bill every word that had any reference to the question of slavery, and leaving the whole matter to the people of Oregon adding that he was willing, and even hoped that Oregon would prohibit slavery. Congress. Oregon bill. In the senate on Saturday Mr. Bright, of Indiana, moved that the senate take up the Oregon bill, which was agreed to.

Mr. Foote of Mississippi, offered an amendment to the bill which he thought would, obviate objections made on the part of the south to the 12th section. Mr. Bright accepted the amendment. Mr.

Wescott, of Florida, spoke at some length in opposition to it, as ineffectual and deceptive in its character Mr. Foote replied at some length. Mr. Underwood addresed the senate in favor of leaviug the people of Oregon free to act on the question of slavery themselves, and offered au amendment to that effect. Mr.

Dayton, of New Jersey, inquired of the senator from Kentucky, whether he admitted that congress had aright to exclude slavery from the territory ol Oregon. Mr. Underwood stated in reply, that ho admitted that congress had such power while Oregon remained a territory, but hoped that the whole subject would be left to the people of the territory. Mr. Baldwin, of Connecticut, followed.

After he had concluded, Mr. Badger, of North Carolina, suggested au amendment, inserting in tho 12th section the words But shall not be subject lo the sixth article of the compact contained iu the ordinance of 1787." Mr. Foote accepted the amendment, as a modification. Without taking any question, the Bubject was passed over. Mr.

Hale, of New Hampshire, has tho floor for Monday. Ratification of the Treaty. We received, last evening a telegraphic despatch from Charleston. stating that news had been received of the ratifica tion of the treaty by the Mexican Congress.

Severeal ec clesiastics, both Catholic and Protestant, have been elected to the National Assembly of France, uoarly all of whom are pledged in favor ol a separation of church and slate. Among those who are doubtful is the eloquent and well known Protestant, M. Coquerel but his sentimentB are not known. Nearly all the Catholics are strongly in favor of the separation. M.

Boisnor, in addressing the electors of Ariege, said: "The church asks nothing of the state but liberty I repudiate all endowments, al payments for religion." All parties, perceiving that the present is a favorable opportunity for solving the groat question of the relation of the church to the state, are eager to make known aud to advance their views. The Barnburners meet to morrow in the Park to make their first demonstration and it is announced that John Van Buren, Benjamin F. Butlor, Theodore Sedgewick, Gen. Nye and others will address them. There will, no doubt, be a large gathering.

Prince John has never spoken in New York and the curiosity to hear him is great besides, the wriigs will turn out in a body to sustain their allies. A great gathering may, therefore, be expected, but it will present little indication of the true state of public feeling. We are not without hopes that the good sense of the leading minds iu this movement will yet see the propriety of giving in their adhesion to the regular nomination. Great Fire in New Jersey. On Thursday last the village of Allentown, situated near the west edge of Monmouth County, and some six or eight miles from Bordentown, was swept by the devouring flame.

Eighty buildings were destroyed in the handsomest portion of the town. The fire originated in a stable, being set on fire by boys playing with crackers. The loss is estimated at $250,000. About 40 families have been turned out of house and home, au i an active thriving village laid in ashes. Methodist Appointments.

Rev. Abel Stevens, the eloquent and talented editor of Zion's Herald, a Methodist paper published at Boston, was receutly appointed by the General Conference editor of the Christian Advocate aud Journal, published in New York. We see, however, that declines to accept and the Rev. George Peck, the old editor of the Quarterly Review, has been designated to take his place. The following was received fay telegraph at the Uuion office, Washington city, from St, Louis, issouri, on Friday the second of June The respects of the Illinois Stu.te Register to the veteran editor of the Washington Uuion the editors avail themselves of O'Reilly'e first flash from the capital of the "banner state," to pledge in the name of her democracy, 20,000 tnajoity for Cass and Butler.

Tho letter of AI. Lucquet, Ambassor of the Pope to the Swiss Diet, admits that the separation of church and state is tho great question of the age; that it is Jjkely to be decided in France, and in other countries nearer Rome and that the Pontiff has prett "early made up his mind to the divorce. l.ME whale fishery.

The Utica and Scheuctudy Railroad will be laid down with the heavy rail before the 1b1 of July. that which has just been brought to a close, but no one, at this day, doubts that it inspired a respect for us among the nations of the world which has greatly contributed to our subsequcut prosperity. The result of the present war isdestiued to be still more important in its consequences.

When the war commenced the impression generally prevailed that the old military spirit had died out that we had become wholly wedded to the civil pursuits of life, were craven, money makiug, and servile, and that, though great in enterprise, commerce, industry and arts, we had not the means or the spirit to resist aggression aud were utterly incapable of sustaining our ancient reputation in arms. It was this impression which occasioned the insolence of England in the case of Oregon and the temerity of Mexico after the anuexatiou of Texas. We can all call to mind the foolish vaporings of the latter power. She was a military nation and vauntingly threatened to overrun the States, march au army to Washington, and dictate such terms to us as she saw fit. England, too, shared largely in this feeling.

It will be remembered how her statesmen prophesied disaster to our arms how they looked for the de feat of Gen. Taylor in his campaign aud what disappointment they exhibited at our unpar rallelled success. The war has demonstrated our great resources, our decided military spirit, our indomitable perseverance, and the genius and skill of our officers. Hereafter no power will provoke a contest with us without pondering well what is to be the result. The Herald in reviewing the facts connected with the war thus sums up our successes The battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Pat ma, were fought and won by our troops, in despite of a great desparity of numbers.

A. pause succeeded the dead were buried, and the wounded were cared for. The order to advance was given and soon we heard of the city of Monterey, fortified under the direction of the most skilllul engineers, and defended by the flower of the Mexican army, falling before our indomitable troops, led on by that gallant hero, General Taylor. There was another pause. In the opinion of the administration, the war had been sufficiently prosecuted in that direction the olive branch of peace had been offered from day to, aud contemptuously spurned.

It bo came evident that the vital parts of the hostile re public ehouid be reached. Accordingly, preparations for a demonstration on Vera Cruz the inlet to the capital and the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, were made and, with the view of having them effective, a large portion of the troops who had so gallantly conducted themselves under Gen. Taylor, were taken from that General's command, and transferred to General Scott, who was destined to lead in the second campaign. Meanti me, Santa Anna was not an idle spectator of events. Seeing Genera! Taylor's force weakened so much, he determined upon crushing him, and rolling back the tide of conquest to the Rio Grande.

He assembled a mighty army of twenty two thousand men, to overpower Gen. Taylor's little baud of four thousand. The shock of Bueua Vista came and the flying hosts of the Mexicans, aud their thousands of dead and dying, proclaimed that the American Eagle, despite of numbers, was again, in the ascendant. This was the first brilliant campaign in the Mexican war. Ti.e city of Vora Cruz was bombarded by General Scott, aud foil; the castle of San Juan de Ulloa, the American Gibraltar, capitulated and, with a base of operations at this piace, commenced second grand campaign.

One by one the strongest fortifications were met and taken, with desperate bravery aud gallantry. In quick, succession ensued the bloody battles of Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Churu busco, Moliuo del Rey, Chepultepec; and finally, the city of Mexico, the capital of the Aztecs, was triumphantly taken and entered by our gallant soldiers. Another pause ensued. The enemy was defeated at all points Ins towns, cities, forts aad fortresses were taken his armies were slain, defeated and scattered, and he laid prostrate at our feet. And now that peace is restored, let ns look at the puoinuu iu which wo sianu Deiore the world.

Commencing the war with predictions of defeat and dis 0 upon us irom uie defamers and slanderers of America, by every packet from Enrr 'j land, no sooner had blood been spilt, than we amazed iknti aNilrifiAfl llmtn ivifli LMiuiauuy ui our achievements. Conquest after conquest, victory alter victory, capitulation after capitulation, broke ou thern in a torturing monotouy there was no other ingredient but victory in the draught which was presented unwilling lips and, with a wry face, they were forced to drink it to the bottom. They were branded as defamers and reviicrs of a brave people, and were finally forced to acknowledge, that great A mn.in.i II I rtmciitu ti.iL uw aria ui peace, sue is pre I eminently great in the means of war. Such is the proud and elevated position which the United States i now occupies belore the world a high aud eon mauding position one that will make us feared jy our enemies, and respectod by all nations. But it is not in this respect alone that the ar is destined to work very important results.

To I Jexi co herself it will, we truBt, prove an incalr blessing. Many of our brave troops will remain behind and identify themselves with that country, carrying with them a knowledge of a higb civilization and a taste for its enterprise, en jrgy and well being.
