At the future. Texas is annexed, with territory

distinct, independent, in all of their local affairs
and yet united-bound together as with bands of
Iron, and delegating to central government all
power necessary to secure harmony and unity of
action towards all the foreign powers of the
earth. II is union not Of force but of affection,
OF love, for the possession of equal benefits and
nights, justly secured to each and all.

The above sketch is engraved from daguer-
reotype, now in our possession, of this disin.
guished officer, taken by gentleman in New
Orleans.
General Vega has attained great distinction as
a soldier. He has fought with honor in many
engagements, and has been identified with the
history of his country for several years He fought,
we believe, with the rank Of Colonel at the battle
Of San Jacinto, and was taken prisoner in the
battle of the 9th May, at Resaca de Ia Palma, in
the act of discharging piece of artillery. He
was captured by the dashing Captain May, of
the dragons.
The General is, we understand, about to visit
New York; and he, no doubt, will be as much
struck at the size and extent of the city, our
citizens will be delighted to have an opportunity
Of showing the hospitality of New Workers to
distinguished stranger.

Both Houses of Congress resumed business yes
to-day, but as usual accomplished nothing In
the Senate, the expenses of the Mexican war, the
military affairs Of the country, and the patent bill
under consideration, but after short session
the Senate went into Executive session. The
principal points reviewed by those who took part
in the debate, were the estimates OF the war made
BY the government; and the proposed plan elect
ing general officers for the volunteers.
In the House the debate was almost exclusively
confined 10 the tariff, but after several speeches
there was no quorum present. and am adjourn
ment was forced upon those remaining. There
has been no measure before either House Of Con-
gress, for years, which has been 50 much harped
upon the tariff, and is not surprising that the
members are sick of listening to the old, worn out
arguments for, or against, the notifications pro-
pos,d
We have no doubt several weeks viii be used
up in discussing this bill, as il will be necessary
for every member to make some movement for
home consumption The House is at tins mo
ment better prepared to take vote on and dis
pose of this endless subject now, than il will be
weeks hence. The greater the delay and the more
extended the debate, the greater the uncertainty
in relation to any changes being made in the
issing system. This subject has been so long be-
fore the people, that every politician, of any expe
nence at all, be perfectly conversant with the
matter from one end to the other and it is a
waste of time and treasure to procrastinate. The
fact is we want Congress 10 adjourn. We want
10 get over this session, and then we can form
some idea where we and what we have done;
but 80 long as the session lasts, everything con-
nected with public affairs viii be in an unsettled,
feverish state, which will prevent all classes from
rsapng the benefits of those measures, both poll
teal and commercial, which have been perfected
II would be very satisfactory to the public gene
rally, IT both Houses of Congress would settle upon
some day TO adjourn. All could then have some
data 10 go upon, in making their arrangements.
At present all is dark and doubtful. We have
been kept in hot water about seven months, and
would like chance TO cool off little. There is
some consolation in the belief that dog days will
scatter the members and some satisfa cton in the
fac, that Washington is several degrees south of
this city, and that when it is comfortably warm
here, il IS boiling over there.
