NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS.

We anticipate the opening Of the approaching
session Of Congress with deep interest The
exact financial situation of the country will then
be known, and the ways and means of relieving
It's embarrassments, so far as the Executive De.
partment is concerned, will be pointed ONT
That the Treasury is nearly drained, and that
the usual supply from revenue has fall len off i'm.
mensely in anticipation of the taking effect of the
new Tariff in December, are facts conceded.-
That enormous amounts are daily wanted for
the exigencos of our Mexican war, is quite OBJ
vious. Congress will, of course, be called upon
at once TO vote the needtul means, not merely
to make up present Deficiencies, but also to ena-
bic tho Executive to prosecute the war with vi.
gor for the year to come. Il would be hardly
considered extravagant to estimate the amount
necessary for these purposes at a hundred mill
lions OF dollars.
And now tho question is a most serious one,
how this enormous sum il TO be raisedl There
arc lhrec legitimate modes by which to accom-.
plish this-Loans, new arrangement of the
Tariff on imports, and Direct Taxation. 1t
seems 10 be understood on all hands, by sort of
instinct, that loan at any admissible rate Of in
terest, by the present Administration is out Of the
question. Under no circumstances could loan
be effected in Europe, while the odium of repu-
dlaton rests upon any one of the United States.
Under the circumstances ofthe decided unpopu-
arty Of the Mexican war, and the want of con-
hdence in Mr. Polk and his advisers in the man.
ner Of conducting our national affairs generally,
particularly in connection with the repeal of the
Tariff of l842, ii would seem like folly to rely
upon a loan among the capitalists Of our own
country.
loan out Of the question, are the Admins
uation prepared frankly 10 acknowledge the err
ror of their Tariff action during the last session,
and proclaim their readiness to reinstate the Tia.
riff of 842, so loolishly repealed. We are con.
strained to believe they are not. Such an ac.
acknowledgement would involve concession of
all that the Wings have claimed in their strug.
giles TO defeat measures 80 full of mischief, which
The administration so pertinaciously commended
for, and so triumphantly carried at the late ses-
sion Of Congress. Such concession, we are
persuaded, they have not the principle 10 make.
Their whole conduct shows that they had rath-
er die in error, than live in the shame and hnmi-
liation acknowledgement. Country with them
stands but mesgre chance, compared with the
memorable demands ofparty. No proposition,

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

There appears to be no doubt that the Govern
ment has, within few weeks, ordered an expedi-
ton from the Rio Grande, under Gen. Patterson,
to move down the coast, and, Incorporation with
partof the naval force blockading Vera Cruz, to
take possession of the town of Tampico. This
place is about two hundred and eighty miles south
of Matamoras, and nearly the same distance, north
from Vera Cruz. West Of Tampico, about one
hundred and forty miles in the interior, and near
the head of the river Panuco, lat the mouth of
which Tampico is situated,) lies the city of San
Luis Potosi, an importantpoint on Gen. Taylors
line of march TO the city of Mexico. 1t is there
fore highly probable that his force, great part
of it, under Gen. Patterson, after capturing Tam
pico, (where they will probably meet with no Sc
rious resistance will advance inland and form a
junction with Gen. Taylor at San Luis.
If this be the plan of the Government, it will
be fortunate one; fornow that the feuds and dis
fractions of Mexico have been reconciled, and its
whole people united, ythereturn of Santa Anna,
whose restoration our Government unfortunately
aided or connived at, Gen. Taylorwill have need,
we fear, of all thereinforcements atthe command
Of the Government, to enable him to triumph
over the impedments Of so longamarch through
difficult and hostile country. What energy,
courage and prudence can do, we know that Gen.
Taylor and his brave, and now severely tried ar
my, will effect; and to these we trust to carry
him victorously through the arduous and peril
Gus task before him.-National Inteltigencer.

HORRID MURDER.

The city of Lexington, KY, has been tho
scene OF one OF the most cruel and inhuman
murders we have ever been called upon 10 re-.
cord. On Saturday morning, October 24lh, the
body Of the murdered man was discovered living
near the road, about three-fourths of a mile
from the city, on the road leading to Nicholas
vile. On examination, it proved to be the BODY
of Alexander t. Hays, formerly of Ohio, but for
some years past resident of Lexington. The
body was most shockingly mutilated, having re-
ceved etghty-Sir wounds with a bowie knife or
knives, and pistol shot through the head. In
the opinion of those who examined the BODY.
there must have been t1Oenty wounds upon the
body, any one of which, would have caused
death. The deceased was a printer by trade,
though for some years past he has not worked at
his trade. We knew him we'll; he was a ouiet.
inottensive man, as little likely, we had supposed,
70 oe the victim OF such an outrage, as any man
IN the world. The Lexington Observer saws.
Our citizens held public meeting on Sunday
morning 0he Mayor of the city in the chair,1
for the purpose of taking The necessary steps 10
ferret out the author of the bloody deed. A large
committee was appointed to make the necessary
examinations for that purpose, who have as vet
made no conclusive discoveries. Tbev are VET
pursuing their investigations, and it will be n,ter.
y impossible for the author of this most crno,
and lnhuman outrage to escape.
The city council have directed the Mavor ,o
offer reward of $3.50 for the apprehension Of
the murderer.

THE THIRTIETH CONGRESS.

The Union, with the admitted purpose Of in.
fuencing the approaching elections, makes an
estimate of the state Of parties in the next Con-
gress, which shows Democratic majority of 8.
The predictions Of the official paper have been
so recently proved to be fallacious, that we won
der at its venturing upon its present prophecies,
especially since, like Mr.. Cahoun's specific pro-
vision of the effect ofthe tariff on cotton bagging.
they may be so ludicrously falsifed Seeing
the object of the calculation, we must admit that
it is exceedingly modest. We are not sure in
deed that it will not have very opposite effect
to that intended. For, to claim a Democratic
majority of only eighteen in the next House of
Representatives, when the present majority is
more than Sirty is very grave admission that
the current of public opinion is running against
the administration. 1t may well be inferred
that if the friends of the President hope to save
only this remnant out oftheir present superabun-
dance, they have lost all confidence in them
selves, and it is time for the people 10 lose it
also.
We observe the Union divides the New York
delegation equally and the Maryland also, takes
two Democrats from New Jersey, five from
North Carolina, six from Tennessee, three from
Louisiana, eight from Indiana, all three from
Michigan, and grants the Wings three in Vr-
ginia. In all these States we hope the Wings
will give a bettet account of themselves; but the
result of the New York election will soon disco.

Gratis Including the Independent in Ohio) and 81

then, for another nod icai on Of the Tariff sys-
tenn, can seriously be looked for in the Presi-
dents message, or in the report of the Secretary
Of the Treasury.
What then remainsi DIRECT TAXATIONl
And fearful as such measure would be, espe-
cisly 10 the deeply indebted, and more especial
y still, TO the repudating States, we fear the pro-
liabilities are all in favor Of the necessity of a.
doptng il. To some of the States the burthen
might be, comparatively, light, and easily borne.
The others, il is certain il will be quite intolera
bic. Ohio owes large debt, and has struggled
nobly to sustain herself under il, and has succeed
ed, with an assurance under her last winters tax
law that, under ordinary circumstances, she
would forever escape the dishonor Of failing TO
pay her interest. But let new tax Of $4,000.
600 (which would be about our proporion) come
down upon her from the General Government,
and who does not see that it will be impossible
for her to meet il. Nor would the expedient of
loan remedy the difficulty; for where, with the
load she already has to carry, and the dark as
pect of the times as respects the general condi-
ton Of the country, could she begin to find
loan for any part of such an amountl
What, then, have we in prospect, but distress
and disaster without limit, in the administration
Of our National inancesl We should be glad
to see things otherwise, for we have no pleasure
in the discontinue and disgrace, which threaten
10 fall in storms upon our opponents, when the
storms can hardly fail to bring, with the party
that has raised them, the more appalling evils
of ruin and dishonor to the country, which that
party has too successfully made the dupe. In all
this immensity of mischief there is but one poor
consolation and that is that the American people
will be prepared in the election in l848 forever
TO bury the destructivcs, who have for so many
years been preying upon the country, in the
grave which the transactions of the last twelve
months have been preparing to receive them.

EXILE OF MEXICAN PRESIDENTS.

Paredes is the third President of Mexico who
has been exiled within short time. But few
years has gone by since Bustamente was forced
to leave his country and take refuge on some
foreign soil. He was subsequently recalled, and
again restored to partial power, Then the case
Of Santa Anna followed. He became odious for
time, was thrown into prison, narrowly escap.
ed with his head, and took refuge at Havana
His recall and restoration are well known to the
reader. And now Paredez is the exied Ex-Pre-
sident. Truly, the Mexicans are the most chang
cable people on earth. The popular breath in
that country makes or mars with wonderful ra-
pidity.
