CoNGREss.-ln our paper, we have given i
condensed account of the proceedings of Con-
gress, so far as they have reached our Office.
Weregret, exceedingly, that up 10 the present
moment, Thursday afternoon,) we have not
received a Washington date later than Satur-
day night This peculiarly unpleasant just
at this moment, as every eye is directed TO the
Halls of the National Legislature. The ar
rangement of-the Mails plays the very deuce
with the editorial fraternity.
1t will be seen that already the great ques-
ton of the day, the Mexican war, has been in.
troduced both in the Senate and the House Of
Representatives. 1t has not, however, rs yet
been debated Mr.. Calhoun's resolutions, WI
presume, will be the basis in the Senate, of ;
long, able, and important discussion. Thu
resolutions introduced by Mr.. Dickinson, o
New York, will be read with pleasure by ev
~ Southern man, no matter to what party b.
may belong. They take just, constitutions
and States-right view of the policy of Con
gress in relation to the disposition of any ter
rtory which may be hereafter acquired by tn
| United States.

COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANs.-As va
intimated in our last, the Wing Speaker of tbe
House of Representatives, who appoints The
Standing Committees. has applied the guiIlotips
to our distinguished representative, James
Mckay, who for several years past has dis.
charged, with signal ability and industry, the
arduous and responsible duties of Chairman Of
that most important Committee. The presen,
appointee, Mr. Vihton, of Ohio, is man Of
rather brilliant than solid ability entirely We
think, unfit for the very important position 10
which he has been elevated. Gen. McKayn
a member of the Committee, but maoriy
being Wings, of course his voice will not be
heard. Time will demonstrate to The whole
country that the removal of Gen. Mckay from
a situation for which his talents, experience
and industry so eminently qualified him, is a
most unfortunate partizan move.

by MT Calhoun in the Senate on the 18th n
slant II we were unacquainted with NJ,
Ca'houns views, and with his past exposition
OF these views. with regard to the Mexican
war, we might be somewhat puzzled to NAL.
out what the Senator from South Carolina w..
driving at. We know, however, that NJ.
Calhoun goes for defensive line, and that
although opposed TO the conquest of the wbols
of Mexico, he is opposed to the termination #
the war without the acquisition of Territory
Time will shew that, under cover of the raso
lutions alluded to, Mr. C. will advocate H..
taking up such line as he thinks right and
proper, and Withdrawing all our troops from
beyond that line For this policy we do M,
go. 1t would keep US in state of perpetual
quasi warfare, and decide nothing.

Mr.. WALKERS REPoRr-We finish in this
weeks paper, the publication of the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury. We do not
intend, in the present short article, to attempt
any thing like a review of this able document
To do so, would require columns of space
of the reader to its important features, princi
pally for the purpose of inducing every man
to give to it, acareful and industrious perusal.
We say unhesitatingly, that go far as our poor
Judgment goes, it is the ablest financial docu-
ment which has hitherto emanated from the
pen of an American Secretary. 1t demonstrates
beyond even reasonable doubt, in the first
place, that revenue tariff not only increases
the general prosperity of the whole country,
but that it also brings into the treasury of the
United States larger amount OF revenue than
its antagonist, the protective policy; and in the
second place, it must convince every man that
the Independent Treasury-a total divorce on
the part of the Government from all Banks
not only affords the best means of carrying on
the finances of the country, but also ensures
| the largest amount of prosperity to every
branch of industry. But we earnestly trust
| that every man in North Carolina will read
the document for himself. 1t is true it is
long, and to some may be dry and devoid Of
interest The freemen of this country, how.
ever, should feel themselves bound, by .
high sense OF their responsibilities, 10 make
themselves acquainted with the science OF gov
eminent. They have to determine at the bal
lot box upon every question connected with
the operations of our government; in word
they are the sovereigss, the governors of The
and and surely they ought, SO far as in thei
power, inform themselves, so that they may
vote and act Understandings. We say then
that it is the duty of every voter in the U. 5
TO read carefully this report OF Mr.. walkers
1t abounds in facts, & sound logical argument:
based upon those facts. Certainly every dem
ocrat should read it, and keep it by him fo
reference in all future time. Read it then, BY
all means, and if il does not amply repay tn
time and trouble expended, then never TAX
our word again

We publish in this weeks paper, somewhat
long communication, which is written by an
officer of the Regiment. who is still in Mexico,
upon the subject of the unfortunate difficulties
which occurred some time since, between the

that, for the present, enough has been said a.
bout that affair we think differently We think
the people of the State should have all the
light upon the matter possible: and so fara
we are concerned, they shall have it. Th,
communication is written by an eye witness
of undoubted veracity, and all its statements,
we think, may be relied upon.
