The Twenty-ninth Congress.

The twenty-ninth Congress, which has just
closed its labors, has done much to enhance the
public welfare. It has placed the fiscal system
Of government upon sound basis by the enact
mens OF the Independent Treasury Law. a system
which, with some simple sndments, found no.
cessary in its working, will yet provo the most
consehant with liberty and public safety that
could be devised. 1t has made an advance to.
wards free trade and unshaekled commerce, BY
the repeal Of the Tariff Act of l842, and the sub
stltution Of a less burdensome and more equal
revenue measure. II has annexed territory
large enough for empire, and by this act opened
wider field to American energy and industry
AM contributed to forward our progresc towards
that high destiny which will vet embrace within
our borders this northern continent. 1t has
though tardi!y, yet nobly seconded the executive
In maintaining the honor and dignity Of oul
country. It has shown a careful regard for the
spread sfliberty, tempered by wise oonsidera-
rlon Of constitutional limits and compromises. II
has not dono oil, it ia true, that the public nsces.
siiiss demanded; but when we consider the great
questions with which i. has had to deal, and the
amount Of good which has been accomplished,
wo feeln no degree dispose to lock beyond the
useful results Of its complicated labors.

The lnf1ux Of Coin,

Millions of dollars in gold and 81 ilver have been

would be sign Of increasing and permanent

coin called banking, we believe i, must newt
ably Ultimately prsve curse. The influx Of spe.
Gle lorms ON extended basis for bank issues-fo,

into the possession Of the banks, they arc ent-
tied to issue three, four, and in ,his state may
extend their issues to FIVE, dollars in paper evi-

bank expansions beyond the wants Of the COM
munity mus. follow, with its train of improviden.
and imprudent speculation, and the conclusion
will be, the udulterated currency will drive ou,

Gon. Gags on the yvinsnot Proviso.

It will bo seen by our extracts below that Gen
Cass's reasons for voting against the Wilmoi
Proviso are mere arguments Of cxpediency ojusti-
ty aProtraction Of the decision reasons for delay
not affecting the merits Of the question, dpon
which Mr.. Cass has declined to indicate his fu-
ture course Tho extension Of slave labor, shut.
ting out free labor, which will not compete with
it, is principle which does not find much favor
at the north, but the proprioty of pressing decis
ion now may be questionable, taking tho state
menss Of Messrs. Cass and Douglass as correct,
as it would only have the effect Of preventing
the requirement of territory, while its present
passage would have no conclusive effect upon
the settlement Of tho question:
lst. The present is no proror time for
the introduction into the country and into
Congress, Of an exciting topic, tending to
divide us, when our united oxerlions are ne
cessary TO prosecute the existing war.
I'd 1t will bs quite in season to provide
for tho government Of territory, not yet ac-
quircd from foreign countries, after we shall
have ebiaiaed it.
Sd. The proviso can orly apply 10 Brit
sh and Mexican territories, as there are no
othets conterminioss to US. lis phrsssology
would reach either, though its application is
pointed at MoXiso. II seems 10 mo, tha, to
express so much confidence in the successful
result of this war, as to legislato a. this t;tno,
if moi orcr this anticipated acquisition, at
least for it, and to lay down partial basis
for its own government, woul l do Gus no
good in The eyes af tho world, and would ir-
ritate still mere tho Mexican people
18th. Legislation now would be wholly
imperative; because no territory hereafter to
be acquired can bo governed without an acl
of Congress providing for ils government
And such an act oa its passage would open
the whole subject, and would leave tho Con
gress called upon to pass it, free TO exercise
ts own discration entirely uncontrolled by
any declaration found on the statute book.
5lh There is great reason to think that
the adoption of this proviso would, in all
probability, bring the war to an untmeIy is
sue, by The eff ct it would have on future op.
eratioEs.
9Th. lis passage would certainly prevent
the acquisition Of ono foo! of territory; thus
defeating measure call for by vast majol-
ity Of the American people, and defeating it,
loo, by the vcly act purpovtag 10 establish q
partial basis for lis government.

:" TNz APOSTLE or DIVINE TRurE"-This is
tho title bestowed upon Corwin by the Now York
Tribvne, for his speech on behalf Of Mexico. 1t

assertion and unmeasured hatory, wings swell

by his cours o two alternatives as decided IN his

to give him the chief command of the army, and
being informed that the President did not con-

appointed. 1t perhaps as well that it is 80, as
from the recent accounts from Mexico there is
reason to believe that internal dissonsion and
want Of means will shortly bring the Msxicaas to

Vera Cruz dates to the 25th ult. have been
received The latest intelligence from Gen
Scott was to the 18th.
The advance of the army upon the city OF
Mexico had been postponed until further re-
Inducements should arrive.
Appearances indicated that there would be
a stronger opposition on the part of the Mex
leans to the advance of our army upon tho
capital, than was anticipated.
The Mexicans were reported to be III the
capital in large force, and to be provided with
70 pieces Of artillery. +,
4 rumor was current at Vera Cruz to the
effect that Gen. Cadwallader had surprised
party of gucrillas, and killed. thirty OF them
without the loss of a single man. -
Cen Pillow attacked a party of guerillas
nine miles from the Pucnta Naclonai and dis
perscd them, killing thirty of the number
None of the party under Gen. Pillow were

Further advices from the army in Mexico
under General Scott, have be received at
New Orleans.
Mr.. Kendall, the correspondent of the N.
O. Picayune, writes that matters begin to look
grave.
Santa Anna has been created Dictator, un-
til the election of President, to take place IN
November.
Active cxertons have been made by the
Mexicans to cut of Generals Pillow and Cad
walader, and permanently destroy all com
munication between Vera Cruz and Puebla,
1t was currently reported that large force
had been organized in the city OF Mckee,
with view toprcvent the capture OF the cap
ital by General Scott,who was still waiting at
Puebla for reinforcemehts.
1t is expected that Gen, Scott will be OPP
posed at three different points on the road TO
Mexico. Great preparations had been made
to defend the capital. :.
Gen. CadwalIader had 400 men under his
command, and Gen. Pillow 1900. 1t was re-
norted that the Mexican General Alvarez
with 5000 men, would attack Gen Cadwalla'
der.
