II is probable (says the National Intel
ligencer) that, before Mr.. Onis reaches
Madrid, our Treaty with Spain will be
ratified. We say it is probable, because
there is possibility that il may not, par
ticularly when we recollect how long the
Convention, ratified last autumn, and
which will now be merged 10 this more
comprehensive Treaty, was held in sus-
pense by the Spanish government. We
should not, however, have seriously en-
tertained an idea of the possibility OF its
not being ratified, if our attention had not
been caught by the following paragraph.
which, considering the source whence it
comes, (from the pen Of member Of the
Senate Of the United States) is entitled to
more respect than is ordinarily paid to
newspaper -specuIations. We certainly
hope the Treaty will be ratified; though,
should it not, there are some very respect
able citizens who would be gratified at the
failure. From certain essays We have
seen in the Western papers, there are not
few in that section of the country, who
think our boundaries are not sufficiently
extended towards Mexico. Our views
are not quite so expanded. We are con-
tent with the secure possession of what We
have, and withall, consider our present
limits comprehensive enough for happi-
ness. A wider range would but enlarge
the field for speculation, which, God
knows, is already ample enough.
