Interesting Report from the Treasury Department..
We invite the readers attention to the report which
this evening lay before readers from the Secretary
the Treasury, in compliance with the call OF the Senate
We append to il the tables and B. which are necessary
to ecidate its propositions The estimated amount which
may be raised on the increase of duties very nconsider
able.
We again respectfully call the attention of Congress
to duties on the free list especially on tea and coffee
And we envy not the brilliant intellect or the common
sense of that member that man, who argues that be-
cause duty may have been opposed in period OF peace
therefore il would be equally improper to impose duty
on those articles, in time Of war, when the honor and
interests of the country call for taxes to be paid by
patriotic people. II is the argument, rather sophsm
Of a demagogue, and not of statesman.

In our brief reply to the cavis which the Ieigence1
Yesterday directed against in relation tc
the lately published letter of General Taylor we had
neither space nor time to make any alluson to the mod
fled vote of thanks to that officer recently adopted by the
House of Representatives The IteNigeneer abors tc
torture that proceeding into an indication of decided hos
tity entertained by the administration and its friends
against General Taylor The only preence for this mis-
construction found by the Inelligencer in the TACT thai
the terms of the capulation OF Monterey, and of the
amstce agreed to by General Taylor, excepted
by the House of Representatives from the series of events
upon which its vote OF thanks was based
But is the exception at all remarkable Is not, on
the contrary, both natural and necessary A vote Of
thanks by legislative body TO military officer is,
far understand the natter always confined strict
" to those transactions which approved by the gene
raj If not the unanimous public judgment Can the In
telgencer pretend that the captuaton and armstice
agreed to by General Taylor, have met throughout thu
country any such unanimous or general appreciation
On the contrary both OF these transactions on Genera
Tayos showing in his recent letter. are most clear
ly questionable procedures They were, the quota
ton from the despatch of the Secretary of Wal
contained in General Taylors letter shows regarded with
some doubt of their proprety by the administration al
though. appears from the same quotation the admin
istration carefully forbore without fuller examination
OF the facts than possible when the despatch of the
Secretary of War written, pass any harsh or de-
clded censure upon those transactions Is it. then so
very much to be wondered at that the House of Repre-
sentatves acting in the most consdete spirit upon the
services of Gen. Taylor, failed to include in its vote OF
thanks, an important transaction, which, FIRST the
country learned without pleasure about which the adj
mlnlsraton was not satisfied upon the evidence laid be-
fore ii and which, finally, General Taylor himself has
In his recently published letter, failed fully to justify to
the general satisfaction of the public mind
But we prefer if we shall be compelled by the gratu-
ous aspersons Of the nelgencer, to pursue this dis
cusslon further, TO wait until the documents in relation
to the prosecution of the war, which have been called
Tor by the House of Representatives, shall have been
made public

THE EUROPEAN News represents the con-
diion Of Ireland as more deplorahlo than
can well be conceived in this country whero
physical plenty abounds. The people are
furnishing by thousands. Whole families Of
living spcctres have been found dying from
misery and want of food, huddled together
sometimes with the dead, which they had
not strength enough 10 ,emove. And what
at first looks strange is, that where famine
is most prevalent large sums Of money are
expended in the purchase of firearms.

in spite ofall tho legalized enacimonts Of the
Bank Law, is her only immsdialely available
and reliable resource to redeem hor notes.
On what then does the existence Of the.

he abuses Santa Ana, and the whole war party
Of Mexico. and taunts the people, who support
that party, with being the victims Of that party
deceit and per6dy. Does he suppose that such
sentiments can ever obtain footing among a
people, who have fought Us every inch Of our
way into their country? If he does we shall

es Of all parties are up in arms for the Old He

inmate the few infatuated followers Of Polky.
Georgia is aroused from the mountains 10 the
seaboard Her sons have taken il into their
minds that they will vote for old Zach, at all
hazards, and nobody else. He will carry the
state by at least 10000 majority. The imbe
cile manner in which Mr.. Polk and Marcy
have acted, and are still acting towards General
Taylor in placing under his command only
those troops whose times are about to expire,
leaving him without sufficient men even to
guard one town, in an enemy's country. hun
dreds Of miles from his friends, for the purpose
Of some disaster happening to him, is evidence
Of their un6tness and utter selGshness. But

selves in the Identical category in which they
would place this great General.
