The Report to the SENATE, BY it's
Committee OF Foreign Affairs, upon the
Message Of the President concerning our
Relations with MEXICO. will be found
in the foregoing columns, among the
Proceedings Of that body on Saturday
last.
The Committee ofthat body is so con-.
stituted that its Judgment upon the ques-
ton presented by the Message may rea-
sonably be presumed to be in accord with
the prevailing sentiment in both Houses
OF Congress on the subject. The Re-
port is decidedly AGAINST the measure
OF Reprisals, under present circumstan-
ces. The committee prefer the more
reasonable and polite course of awaiting
the result of a due representation OF the
several alleged grievances, with the
proofs thereof. to the Government of
Mexico. as provided for by the existing
Treaty betweea the two countries. We
presume that the conclusions Of the Re-
port will receive the sanction of the Sen
ate, and, generally, the appreciation OF
the country.
To the statement Of the case embraced
IN the Report if we were disposed TO
cavil, we might, perhaps, take some ex-
ception. But we are too well satisfied
with its generally pacific and manly cha.
racter. TO indulge any disposition to raise
discussion upon it. Fortunate will il
be for our country, if, in future time,
upon the introduction OF exciting ques.
tons upon our Foreign Relations, there
be always found in its Legislative coun-
ellis wisdom and deliberation to restrain
the propensity to rush to arms as ii rem
edv for grievances. which amicable mra
sures are better adapted to redress, with
honor 10 the nation.-Nat, Int.
