do. The world has reached point that demands
that war shall not be procrastnated, but speedily
ended Every nation is more or less dependent
upon the other, and a state of war affects, in a
relative degree the interests of all Already we
see it animated that prolongation of hostilities
will incite European nations to interfere for the
purpose Of stopping it. An Intervention of this
kind would embarrass us in a great degree,
although we have confidence enough in our
country and countrymen to believe that we are
capable of carrying successfully with
the most powerful nation of the old world. But
have no desire to incur any such calamity, and
it is own interest, well that of every other
country, to put an end to this war speedily Rs
may be. Humanity and civilization, the boast of
the nineteenth century, demand that it shall be
soon'ended
We have seen that much stress is laid upon the
supposition that if General Santa Anna were
installed, he would willingly accede to terms-but
this is falacious Recent events in Mexico show
that the war is popular with the people, as it is
with the government, and that it has been made
so by the clergy. Whoever, therefore, may be
at the head of affairs, must wage it vigorously
as his resources will allow him, and nothing but
grand, decisive, and overwhelming blow, at the
try,wil bring its people and its government to their
senses and to terms. In consequence of the inn
becility of former administrations in this coun-
try, and the disnclination to modest or retard
sister republic, but lately emancipated from its
fetters and since then torn asunder by domestic
dissension, innumerable instances of insult and
spoliation have been overlooked and passed over.
Our charity and motives have been misconstrued,
and our neglect to demand prompt satisfaction,
has been attributed to weakness, and not to
our generosity. These impressions must be re-
moved before anything can be effectualy accom-
plished, and when that is done, and the Mexican
forts on the Pacific seized or blockaded, and the
Mexicans in possession of or threatened by our
army, then, and not till then, need we look
for peace.
There is now every appea rance that our go
vernment will exhibit to the nation a spectacle
such as they have never before seen.

We have made arrangements TO have full, gra-
phic and particular accounts Of the proceedings
of Congress during the last days of the session.
There remains now very little time in which to
dispose of the immense number Of private bills
that remain on the calendar, as well as the tariff
and other important questions that remain still in
allegiance.
The proceedings of the remainder of the session
will, therefore, be of the most exciting and gra-
phic description, and will be looked to with
great deal of interest throughout the country. Our
arrangements are all perfected for giving daguer-
reotype sketches of the busting scenes which may
be expected to take place in the halls of Congress
from this time forward, until the 10th proximo.
Our Congressional reports WILL therefore, be
prominent feature in the paper for the remainder
of the session.
Desperate diseases require desperate remedies;
and the seat of government is, at this moment,
the scene of operations of the most important
ture, the result of which is yet involved in much
doubt and uncertainty The consideration of the
tariff question has drawn to Washington crowds
of those deeply interested in the preservation of
tho present bill, and immense efforts are being
made to defeat the bill of reductions as it came
and will be doubtful to the last moment. 1t is
anticipated that several important amendments
will be proposed by some of the democratic SEN
ators, for the purpose of reducing, modifying
the ad valorem feature in the bill. 1t is also
stated that Mr.. Webster intends offering com.
promise, a substitute for portion of the pro-
posed bill. The annexed table exhibits the COM
promise Mr. Webster has in contemplation
Whether it will meet the views of the majority,
on not, remains undetermined -
