The Tariff bill was passed yesterday BY the
House of Representatives by vote of Ia TO
95. Had the amendments made the day pre-
vious, leaving ''salt" free, repeating the fish
ing boundes, remained as they were, the bill
would have been rejected but sort of com
promise was effected, and by majority of
one vote only, salt was made liable to duty
of 20 per cent. The fishing bounties were
also relnstated. This satisfied the mal-contents,
and they consented to go for the bill Had
the bill been rejected, it was supposed that the
session would have terminated i'm two weeks.
but as II IS, the general impression appears to
be, that Congress will remain till the middle of

rur MEXICAN WAR.

The Republican pronounces our war WIN,
Mexico as "hagrantly unjust" being produced
entirely by The reckless policy OF marching an
army to the Rio Grande, and occupying territory
which was, IA, best, debaleable ground" we,
on the contrary, look upon The war as founaea
upon as just and righteous grounds, as Tar as we
are concerned, as any that History records. II
wa. forced upon US, against all our endeavors lot
peace, and while we were defending our own
soil, which il would have been highly crImihai
10 abandon 10 foreign invasion.
While, then, we have no hope OF convincing
the Republican Of the justice OF The war, we
deem it proper to recapilulate The grounds upon
which we base our claim TO the territory between
The Nueces and the Rio Grande, which General
Taylor was ordered 10 hold and protect.
First, the Treaty between Houston and Santa
Anna by which the Rio Grande, throughout lis
whole length, was made the boundary between
Texas and Mexico, and this boundary was also
recognized by the Texan Congress OF 1886 IN
deed the territory between The Nueces and the
Rio Grande, was represented in the Convention
in Texas, and in the Texan Congress, and called
San Patriotic. After the Annexation OF Texas,
the United States revenue laws were thrown over
it, and provision made for superintendent or m
speclor South OF the Nueces.
II was part and parcel Of the ancient province
of Louisiana, ceded by France to the United
States, for valuable consideration. Jefferson
and Madison recognized the Rio Grande as the
true and original limit of Louisiana, and con-
tended that Spain never had right TO any possess
sion beyond that river
We admitted Texas with that territory into the
Union, and, as such she was previously recos-
nzed as an independent nation BY England,
France and Holland.
In sending our army, then, TO protect that ter
ritory, which was clearly part of The U. States,
the President acted in exact conformity 10 his So
lemn oath.
But says the Republican, had Gen. Taylor
remained at Corpus Christi, (iself beyond The
Neuces,) there would have been no conflict
of arms. This theory is dsproved by The
TACT, that dispatches from the Mexican Pre-
sident 10 General Arista were intercepted, in
which Instructions were given 10 the latter 10 cross
the Rio G,ande, which was accordingly done, and
The first ACT OF war consummaled on the part OF
Mexico For our lives, with these facts before
us, we cannot see the "fagrant injustice" OF this
war; as far as orr country is concerned

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS have been re-
ceived from General Kearney, who is hale and
hearty at Santa Fe, fotilying it according TO the
most approved rule of Vauban, and erecting
For. which, in honor Of The present Secretary Of
War, he has called Sort Marcy"
General Kearney finds the people Of New
Mexico in excellent spirits, and delighted with
The prospects of becoming citizens oil The United
States. II is as if their property, their lives, and
their prosperity had been insured 10 them, and
they were now permiled 10 draw The first free
breath Of life.
Our troops throughout received nothing but the
kindesl treatment from the inhabitants, and were
we'll pleased with their vocation. Their wants
were literally supplied by The hospitab'e people
OF that province, and they were treated moi as
enemies, but as deliverers OF the country.
The General made an excursion South, about
one hundred miles to The village OF Tome, without
meeting any resistance, and it is probable The
Mexican Government enteuains no idea OF dis
putting US the quiet possession OF that country. II
has certainly provided no means for its defence,
and aienated the affection of the people, whom il
only plundered by the appointment Of some mill
tary tavorile as Governor.
General Kearney will probably effect juno
lion with our forces on the Pacific, in order 10 take
possession of California. Il is thought he will
arrive there in November, consequently quite in
time for The anticipated movement OF our troops.
He may for that purpose take the Southern route
down the Del Norle, follow the ella, cross the
Colorado, and take up his march along The Paci-
