 Here nature calls from fortunes fIown,
 Her children of disease,-
 And bids them throw their ertches down, And go where'er they please. She feels no pulse. nor asks complaint,
 To set the price of cure;
 But. free to all, without restraint,
 She gives her waters pure.
 She gently sooths the sufferers pains,
 Nor ases lance nor pill;
 She needs clerk to count the grains,
 No eveF-deses kill--r
 Let those whose crooked forms defy
 The power Of man to cure; Who, every day, with agony
 Do more than death endure = Whose eyes. though dragged with opium, Are closed not-night nor night; Death daily moeks, but will not come Though of foi him they pray Let such come here, for here alone,
 Exists the power to save;

that II clothed by Congress with thc neess- sary means and discretion, that he may be able 10 make peace with Mexico. On our part, we begin 10 feel that we are engaged ia an expensive wAr--a war attended by great sacrifice oI life, and one calcula,ed to exhaust, to great extent. the means ol shis govern meni. and if continued for great while lon- ger, must result iu imposing heavy burdens upon our people. But il may be asked, can lasting, permanent peace he made under the circumstances in which Mexieo was placed, divided, as that feeble. badly-governed, and unhappy country was, into various rami6ca. tions of party, factions existing everywhere, an unstable government. and no one party sufficiently strong to make peace. The in- telligence possessed by the President gave them reason to believe that, by certain ad- vance in money % be made to them, in their exhausted and impoverished condition, to pay of their army and other expenses, they would be willing and able to make peace, and cede, for the object specified, that por- ton of the country he had named. His ob- ieet was not to consume the time of the Se- nate; and to avoid everything that might pro daee discussion, or party excitement, he bad endeayored, in as few words as possible, and at the same time with that frankness which he hoped would ever characterze him, to desine the object of this measure, and to hold out to the Senate the prospect of procuring peace. Our arms had iriunPhed everywhere. We had got possession of large portion of Mexico. We had possession of some of her seaports and held others blockaded. We were powerful, and in condition to extend our conquests, and by custom-houses and forced contributions, defray, to considera- ble extent, the expenses of our invasion.- We arc in condition to be magnanimous, and, without dishonor, 10 propose peace, and to grant 1t on favorable conditions to Mex ico He hoped, therefore, the Senate would concur with him m the view he had taken, and adopt the measure which the President had recommended. If it should be proposed, however, to discuss this question more fully in regard to this war, he would be prepared to 70 into it as fully as gentlemen might de- sire But, at present. he would respectfully ask the Senate to let this bill pass.
 He would conclude by saying that he though. proper regard to the opinions of the world required that they should make peace. if possible, and that the demands up- on Mexico should be moderate in any trea- ,y that might be made with that republic.
 It will be seen, from the following, that our Representative, Hon. T. W. NEWTON, after some opposition, was sworn in and took his seat.
