Governor Mnrcy's Report.

The report of the Secretary of War will be found on
our first page. 1t is able, interesting, and important,
being the closing up of the series of mastery state papers
which have emanaed from his pen during his term of
otfce-a period embracing a more arduous routine of
duty and more weighy responsibility than that of any
of bis predecessors since the formation OF the govern
ment New York never had greater reason TO be proud
of the conduct of any of her distinguished in eleva
ted public stations than she has of that OF her representa-
tive in the cabinet of the United States Governor Marcy
has crowned himself with unlading honor by his man
agemen of his department of the public service, His
services have entaed debt of gratitude on his country,
and payment will, venture to say yet be made to
him as the grateful tribute of the people.
The crowded state of columns will not allow us to
go into an extended notice of this report Suffice ii
say that of the collection of papers which the heads Of
the various departments of the government have present
ed TO Congress at lis present sessona series OF docu
ments, from the Presidents message down, comprising
the summing up of one of the mos, successful admins
trations in annals that from Gov Marcy proml-
nent in interest and ability. We intend TO take early
opportunity give brief review of the official conduct
OF our distinguished ellow-czen especially in the man
agemen OF the Mexican campaigns, which has given his
name such high position the roll of American states
