THIRTIETH r
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5, 10A P. NJ.
SENATE

The Senate, after some unimportant business,
proceeded to the consideration of the ten regi-
ment bill.
Mr.. Crittenden, of KY, moved as a substi-
tute that 10000 volunteers be placed at the
disposal of the President. He thought that
the army that could conquer like Gen Scott,
could hold possession of the country against
any odds, and there was no reason now for in
creasing the troops one-half now in Mexico.
Lewis Cass defended the bill.
Mr.. Calhoun opposed both the bill and the
substitute of Mr.. Crittenden.
Jefferson Davis advocated the passage of the
measure. He, however, would prefer regulars
to volunteers.
The substitute of Mr.. Crittenden was lostby
yeas 10. nays 26.
The Senate then, on motion, adjourned.

THE WAR QUESTION FOR CoNs1DERATIoN.-
The National IntelIigencer has reviewed at
great length and with great ability, the last
message of Mr.. Polk, and concludes by propoun-
ding the following pertinent questions for the
consideration of the public, who after all will
have to decide the matter:
First. Do you believe that, in December,
1913, the boundary of the United States had
been extended to the Rio Grandeq
Secondly. Do you believe that the Mexican
province of T~amaulipas. east of the Rio Grande
was, on the 18th day of May, 1916, American
soil2
Thirdly. Do you believe that the existing
war was begun by the act of Mexico?
FOurthly, Do you believe that, failing in our
purpose of compelling Mexico TO propose to
surrender to US her province of Tamaulipas,
New Mexico, and Upper and Lower California,
that, in a word, as things now stand, ''we
mast" in the language of the Message before
us, s:continue to occupy her country with our
troops, taking the full measure of indemnity
into our hands, and must enforce the terms
which our honor demands"
Do you, or a majority of you, answer No to
each of these question, then we presentto YOU
the rue and only remaining question which
you have to consider in reference TO the further
prosecution of this war to the extent and in
the manner proposed in the message:
Are you willing to prosecute, indefinitely,
this war against Mexico, at the cost of a humid
red millions of dollars and at least ten thou
sand lives a year, for the purpose of uindicating
the consistency Of the President? That is the
question.

The military committee of the Senate re-
ported a bill a few days ago, for adding ten re-
giments to the present twenty-five regiments
committee reported a bill authorizing twenty
aew regiments of volunteers, When all these
regiments shall be raised, the army of the U.
States, regular and volunteer, will amount to
some sirty or seuenty thousand men, at a cost
of millions of money, which is at present i'm
possible to estimate, and all to vindicate the
personal consistency of President Polk. The
r%uinous consequences of the ill-starred Mexi-
can war, are now rapidly approaching a point
which the most blinded follower of party will
be unable to ~extenuate or uphold.

-OSThe Military Committee in the Senate
have reported a bill for the raising of 10000
additional volunteers. The bill is in substance
as follows:
l. That the President be and hereby is au-
thorized, should the exigencies of the war re-
quire a further increase of force, to call and
accept the services of additional volunteers,
not exceeding twenty-thousand men, who may
offer their services eithera as cavalry, infantry,
or rilemen, 10 serve three years after they shall

teers under existing laws, and TO have the
same pay, rations, and allowances, including
land and scrip, according to grades, and to be
subject to the same regulations and tothe rules
and articles of war.
z. That where companies of volunteers,
which are now or which may hereafter be in
service shall become reduced in rank and file,
the President is authorized to discharge a part
of the commissioned officers, leaving not more
than three for sixty rank and file In the COM
pany, and not more than two for forty; and
where not more than twenty all may be dis
charged, and new companies formed of eighty
men each; provided; that the companies may
not be reduced, iii be deemed necessary to in
crease them by recruits.
3. When regiments of volunteers, now or
hereafter in service, shall become reduced, the
President is authorized to receive additional
companies for such regiments.
4. The volunteers called out under this act
may be discharged six months after the ratih-
cation ofa treaty of peace.
