A resolution was passed today IN the Senate

70 the difficulties with Mexico The history OF this
war with Mexico will be curiou. one II we ever

kindness Mr. BESTOS amused US for some time IN
comparing the Rome Tiber 10 the Washington II

The speech OF Sir. CALHOUN To day, on the Ten
Regiments bill took lofty grounds. he said there
was not one reason for the passage Of the bill
What we dread as well az Mexico 10 the annihla'
tion Of the remnant Of government lei. Ia Mexico
We want rather 10 foster than TO terriy the ghost
OF g government left at Queretsro. There Is dan
ger that It will perish before 1t can ratiiy the
Treaty without any Intimidation A single brigade
Of our sodiery could annlhiate All that LETT OF the
Mexican government. We can hold the line OF the
Treaty without paying go 600 600 for II. rms
bill is a useless measure, an unmeaning bravado-
q mischievOus bravsdO. for Il will argue that We
don't expect peace and operate adversely on our
money market, &c.-will encourage the Mexican
Puros 10 resist their own government which they
will do while they can hope for success. 1t VIII De
a costly bravado The bounty and bounty lands 10

measure anyhow ana uuueI
He was opposed TO the subiugstion OF Mexico,
which meant by vigorous prosecution OF he
war. He believed that IN the early part OF the ties
sion large portion OF the people went for TINS VI
gorous prosecution but they had reflected they
drew back, and now every sign tells US that t1ey
will set their seal of disapprobation upon the pro
iect We must act like men, not like menaclng
DULLES This system Of try ing to manage our For
eign affairs by men acing was a wicked and dan
gerous plan. IL came very near involving us In a
war with England on Oregon. only for the strength
and decision OF the Senate. This same system got
US into the Mexican war. The march OF Gen. TAr-
LOR to the bio Grande was ordered only - irghten
the Mexicans. 1t involved us in the war.
Mr.. CALHOUN, after dwelling on these points,
closed by a powerful argument on the unconstitu
tionality Of the acts OF the Administration in max
ing laws for collecting customs in Mexico. The
Executive had no more authority 10 to do this than
he had to establish Tariff ia own country. Ii
was solely the duty of Congress. And now that
the war is over, while our Congress is strong 1t
must mark with its signal reprobation these Exec
utive usurpations, lift would preserve its rights.
Mr.. CALHOUN spoke only about forty minutes,
but he crowded in the language and ideas IN
thoroughly condensed form. There was great
crowd present 10 hear him.
Mr.. JOHNSON of Ga. followed, though he wanted
the discussion put of till tomorrow but he was
forced to go on. He went the full figure for the
Administration. As he msrepresents the State, by
the Governors appointment, his ideas are no more
nor indeed OF rs much worth as the IDEAS of any
other private citizen.
Mr. BERRIEN has the floor, bat il is generally ex
pected that Mr. WEBSTER will also speak to NOR
row.
The Committee on Elections in the House have
agreed to report in favor Of Col MoSRoE for the
seat from your city. They Will prooa
bly, report on Monday.
IL is said that Col. SEWER is sick with inhani-
nation or choc in the stomach and cannot leave so
soon for Mexico IS was anticipated. RIcHELIEU.
