TAXEsl TAXEs!l TAXEs!!l

The great measure of The session has pass
ed INTO law. The policy for which the
Albany Regency have contended So long and
SO perScverngiy, is at length engraficd upon
our Statute Book. DIRECT TAXATION and the
suspension of the Public Works, are now the
order of The day l!encetorih expenditures
must CEASE" and Internal Improvements be
abandoned. The enlargement of the Erie ca
ma work of such vast importance TO the
interests OF Our people and TO the growth and
prosperity of the Slatc-iSindc fnfeIg postponed.
| The completion of the Blank River and Cen
see Valley canals is virtually abandoned.-
The Northern railroad is laid up 10 dry, and the
New York and Erie stands but slim chance

them to nforce the collection Of the Regency
imipcat
i Is impossible to imagine a more suicidal
po;icy than that dissolved upon by the Albany
Regency. There is no necessity for a tax ex-
copi for the purpose OF inyigoTaiing the credit
of tie State, and providing means 10 carry on
the public works. But 10 tax The People at
the same time that these works ATE abandoned
is alike unnecessary and oppressive. 1t the
Stale had decided 10 60 on with the public I'M
provements, and continue lis disbursements
along the line Of The public works, the People
would not have objected to a tax, because such
n policy would have furnished them with pres
ent means OF payment, at the same time that
it secured to them a certain source of future
wealth and prosperity. 4 law 10 this effect
would well have meriied The aPpeilation Of the
great measure of the session. and would have
received the cordial assent of all parties instead
OF the reluctant support accorded TO the Reg

MORE TROUBLES AHEAD.

New difficulties throng around us IN our
Foreign relations, but luckily steady bands and
sound heads are al the helm.
The Journals from the South West are fun
of quasi ornaments for Mexico. Our People
there cooly and deliberately are gong 10 war;
wi bout waiting to h2ar from y Arlington, or
any President, or any Congress ! If Mexico
cannot be dealt with according 10 the laws of
war, it is clear. Mexico Is TO be LyEched =
This is all contrary to our laws, we need mol
say, and subjects offenders to severe penalties
But what will Great Britain say 10 this =
What will the world, asks Santa Asna himself
in his letter of reply 10 Col. Bee, who threaten
ed him "with tho iumuliuous population ofthe
Missssippi!' Great Britain has treaty with
Mexico, the condition Of which. If we recoiect
Alright involves her somewhat in her defence
Ia case the United States becomes the ally OF
Mexico. Again, there a.e new principles at
work in this conflict between Texas and Next
co, which interest the civilized world. Texas
pcrsonIfies civilization, and Mexico barbarlsm;
but Mexico on the con rary is the barrier OF the
domiaiOHs Of the system OF slavery, and Texas
carries slavery with its victories. lhus what
the civilization of Southern and South estern
pats of our Republic sympathses with, the
civilization of the Northern and Western parts
abhor.
Difficulties thus ihrong around US from the
acts of our own citizens, and from the consc-
oueuccs of those acts TO Foreign nations -
There is g,eat danger that OF the United States
now be involved in u war with Mexico, we may
be involved in a war with greater, and more
powerful nation. We trust however, that The
the prudence which has so long preserved us
from foreign war, or intestine connections, viii
continue to watch over us, and to preserve Us
10 this end.

THE LAND DISTRIBUTION.

President TYLER has yielded 10 the anti-Tar
if' feeling and mistaken views ola small por-
lion of the country and transmitted to Congress
a Special Message recommending, in qualified
and apologize terms, the Repeal of the Dis
lribulion Law We ale not surprised at this,
and vet we deeply regret it. After the con-
v:ncing and concillaIory appeal 10 the couutry
by Mr.. CLAY IN his late Speech. we did hope
that every Wing would recognise the proprie
ty the absolute necessity, Of leaving this great
question as it had been settled after weeks of
able discussion, Of eanest and profound consid-
Grafton. We knew that Loco Focoism would
DO It's utmost, now and hereafter, 10 compass
the repeal of the Distribution Act, if for no
other reason than that it was passed at the late
Extra Session. We knew that the blinded
adversaries of stable and efficient PROTEC-
TON TO AMERICAN INDUSTRY would
exhaust nve ntion and effort for the Repeal of
Il law which affords so formidable Il barrier to
their triumph We knew that the infatuated
enemies of INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT
and UNIVERSAL EDUCATION, who glory
in thick darkness, in stagnation, and paralysis
of tie National energies, who exult over State
Bankruptcy and Infamous Reputation as
trIumph, and whose instincts and views are
those of the Eleventh Century instead of :he
Nineteenth, would of course clammor for the
Repeal of the Dis'rbutiou, as an act fatal to
their interests and their hopes. But we did not
credit till lately that the President would throw
his weiuht into their scale, and seek 10 repeal
an act which he had recommended and appro
we'd. Even if his feelings inclined that was
we should have supposed he would hesitate
to make this topic the theme of Special Mes
sace. What reason was there for this coursel
Has any new crisis arisen.any emergency oc.
