attack on Saltillo, by Gen. Santa Anna, should
be successful, then an attack would be made
on Tampico, by Col. Gonzales. The bitter
hostility of the whole people ofthe country
is now aroused against our army, and they
pant for an opportunity TO carry it into execu-
ton.
The military force at Tampico at the pres
ent time, is about 1900 men. There is a
very large quantity ofgovernment stores arms,
ammunition, &C., at this point. The comman-
dant at that post is rapidly terrifying it, and

it, even with the limited numbers under his

INDIANA LEGIsLATURE-GEN. TAYLOR
The following preamble and resolutions were
introduced by Mr.. Edmondson in The Indiana
Senate on the Both uIt., and referred to The
Committee ON Federal Relations. We hope
they may pass.
Whereas, War now exists between the
United States and The Republic of Mexico
and whereas the gallant sons Of Indiana have
rallied to The standard of their country in This
emergency, without stopping 10 enquire into
the cause that produced it, with an alacrity
and prompiness, of which we feel proud, per-
ling all, and losing many, Of their valuable
lives, in common with the volunteers Of SIS
ter States in the glorious cause of our coun-
try; and whereas, it is desirable, in view of
The horrors Of war and The miseries of the
gallant soldiery, that this war should be speed
ily and houorably terminated; therefore,
Be nresolped By the General Assembly of
the State of Indiana, That while we deem
war great National calamity, we hereby in
struct our Senators and request our Repre-
sentatives 10 vote all necessary and proper
supplies for its vigorous prosecution; while
at the same time, i; is the anxious desire oil
the members composing this General Assem-
bly,, and of the people represented by it, tina
it be brought TO as speedy termination a:
possible, consistent with the National honoi
and National glory.
And be it further resolved, That Genera
Zachary Taylor, and the officers and men IN
der his command, have won the applause anc
gratitude of The States and the people, 70
their heroic conduct in sustaining the glor,
of the American arms during the recent con
fiicts with the Mexican forces.
And be it further resotped, That the Gov
eInor of this State be directed, with as it'll,
delay as possible, 10 procure at the expense
of the State, SWORD, with suitable inscrip
tons, to represented 10 Gen. q. Taylor, as
suitable testimonial of the gratitude of tn.
People of Indiana for his heroic conduct il
the decisive battles of Palo Alto, Resaca de
la Palma. and Monterey.
] Resolved, That we entirely dlsapprove o
! the votes ofthose members of Congress, WHIT
refused TO increase the pay of the volunteer
called to the battle field of Mexico-tha
such vote, with all proper Difference to the
enlightened judgement ofthe National Legis
lature, does not in our opinion, meet The
sanction of the People OF this State.
| Resolved, That the Governor of his State
be requested TO forward copy OF this Join
resolution to our Senator'S aud Representa-.
tives in Congress, TO the President of the U
States, and 10 Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR, com

SUB-TREAsuRY.-The Washington cores
pondent of the Baltimore American says that
The Secretary of the Treasury has made up
his mind not TO recommend the repeal ofthe
specie clause of the Sub-Treasury.
Prentice says the Secretary has found oui
by this lime that his recommendation doesn't
go very far in the House OF Representatives,
even with the members of his own party.
The Administration seem 10 be seriously
embarrassed how TO act in regard 10 the Sub
Treasury. "They know" says the Amer-
can. shat loan cannot be negotiated while
the specie clause is in existence, and they
know if they repeal it they will be forced to
The final abandonment Of The system, and TO
the imputation of its inefficiency. Though
il is no more a secret TO MIR. Polk than it is
to the country, that This machine is, in the ma
ture ofihings, wholly unfit for the financial
purposes oil the Government, and that il is
now, as it was in 1910, bankrup, in charac-
Ter and confidence. Yet such is the logged
obstinacy with which he, and such as he, adj

they have no scruple in maintaining what theil
most settled conviction oppose. The Secre
iary ofthe Treasury is fully aware that thi:
scheme must be relnquished, before he car

refuses 10 call upon Congress for relief, he
must take the consequence Of harrassing the

These duties were suggested in view of
The necessity of obtaining the loan therein

Most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
R. J. WALKER,
Secretary OF the Treasury.
Hon. James ]. Mckay,
Chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means.
The Baltimore Patriot speaking of tbs
above letter says
"Mr Walker ought TO be ashamed 10 make
the proposition. He was the chief instru.
ment of breaking down the tariff of 1912, and
establishing The tariff of 1916, by which
many sources of revenue were cut off. He
was admonished that if the tariff of lS42was
repealed, the government would be involv-
ed in financial dificulties--ihat the
bill of '46 would not produce in time ef
peace, money TO meet the ordinary expenses
OF the government, and that in war The re.
ceip,s under it would fall so far below the
demand on the treasury that the credit OF
the government would suffer- He affected 10
disbleve all lhis--Or was so bent on having
the the bill of '42 repealed. for the benefit
lofforeign manufacturers, that he did not stop
though we were then al war, but urged The
bill of repeal through. He is now beginning
TO realise The difficulties he was instrument
tai in bringing upon the treasury; aud in.
stead Of coming forward and admitting his
error, recommending The repeal of the tariff
Of As, and the rc-esiablishment of the tariff
of 43, be wants Congress TO impose tax ON
tea and coffee, TO supply the deficiency in
the receipt under the tariff.
We say this: restore the tariff of 40, and
having thus imposed proper duty on foreign
goods, which enter into competition with the
labor of our citizens, then, if The receipt be
not sufficient, levy duty on the free articles,
be il tea or coffee, or any thing else. The
people will willingly pay it, when they know
| it is necessary to support the credit of the
government. They will not pay it willingly,
however, If it is levied, is now recommends
ed by Mr.. Walker, principally to sustain the
tariff of '46, which was passed to break down

gress, II the principles of it be allowed 10
