The CONTROLLERS REPoRT-Gov YoUNG's
MESSAGE The valuable report of MIR. Flagg, the
late Comptroller-for he is now out of office-has
received even more attention than the message
of John Young himself. In fact, the report of the
Comptroller is more important than that OF the
Governor, under the new constitution
The Governors message, after peruslng 1t care
fully, is a queer production made up Of shreds
and patches-half statesman and half loafer in its
sentiments--uow conservative in Its principles;
anon radically destructive and revolutionary. AT
ter reading that document carefully, we have al
most come TO the conclusion that the Governor
would not only appropriate the lands, the titles OF
which are disputed to his friends, the antl-renters,
but he would like open all the penltentlaries and
State prisons in the State and give every license to
the inmates of those respectable establishments to
settle on the public lands, or establish banks on
any system of finance. There is good deal OF
intellect and good deal of talent in the CO.
vernor's message; but its moral principle is radi-
cally defective and destructive. His views on
the Mexican war would be attributed to true pat
riotism, If il did not leak out that he wants to
be a candidate for reelection. If the party OPP
posed to HIM. the democrats, wish to defeat HIM
they should set up against him the chivalric Col.
Burnett native of this State, who has just re-
turned from Mexico, covered with glory and
wounds, and that would settle John Young, and
all those about him, for half lifetime, at least
But while we think thus indifferently OF the
Governors message, after carefully perusirg 1t
twice we think still more of the late Comptroll-
er's report IL is a most valuable document,
and there must be still remaining, in the public
Offices in Albany, much valuable information on
the banking system of this State, OF the same
kind as that contained in the passages OF the re-
port. Mr.. Flagg may have had his talings; but,
throughout his career, he fas shown himself
to be a friend of the people, as far as bank
corruption and the banking system are con-
cerned His successor, Mr.. Fillmore, we have
no doubt will fill his place on equally high and
honorable principles Of action, and in fact, rather
deserves to be Governor than John Young. Mr..
Fillmore's career is known to us. He is a states
man of the pures, the highest and the best breed.
He is a wing, indeed, but his blood is good, his
looks are good, his words are good, and his prln-
cples are good. We have no doubt he will follow
in the footsteps of the late Comptroller, and be as
faithful guardian of the interests of the great
mass of the people, in opposition to the rascally
tricks of the fnanciers and bank breakers, as
ever Mr.. Flagg was But of John Young, we
should not be surprised, if il were in his power,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. House Of
Representatives passed very important vote
the other day, on the subject of the Mexican
war They decided, by vote of eighty-fve to
eighty -one, that the war was commenced by the
President, without any necessity, and contrary
to the constitution. This is very heavy charge,
and conflicts radically with the vote of the last
Congress, expressed in the preamble Of the bill
which declared that Mexico began the war.
We verify believe the wings will cut their
throats on the Mexican question, before the pre-
sent session of Congress terminates. Many of
them may regret their vote on this point. They
must remember that, on the next Presidential
election, the whole people will vote directly on
the Mexican war, without regard to men or
parties

IMPORTANT DEMOCRATIC MovEMENT.-We un.
derstand that the new democratic committee,
for the year 1S45, which will meet tonight, or
some night soon, intend to take into considera-
ton the propriety of calling great war meet
ing in Tammany Hall, by way of counter
check to the great wing meeting to nominate
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency.
This will open the Presidential election at
once in this city. Will the democrats not do
just as we'll to adopt the call we issued on our
own hook, in favor of Gen. Worth They
could not do better than adopt that distinguished
man as their presidential candidate. Certainly
they cannot expect to succeed, in any general
election, with any of the old hacks of the party.
The day Of party politicians is nearly over, and
thanks be to Heaven it is so.

We, the undersi gned, having in view the best
interests Of the Union, and the promotion of her
welfare, in the extension of our agricultural and
commercial interests, and considering the selec-
ton of the Chief Magistrate the principal
source through which these happy results may
follow, suggest the propriety of calling public
meeting at Tanmany Hall, on the 22d of Feb
ruarv, in order to give expression to our feel
ings in nominating, as democratic candidate,
WILLIAM J. WORTH, as one possessing all the
requirements necessary TO promote the peace, the
glory, and prosperity of our country, and whose
valorous actions, in defence Of our glorious in
stitutions. have endeared him TO the hearts of
every PARROT.
At Monterey, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Churu
basco, Chapaltepec, FL Moino del Rey, and the
CITY OF Mexico-to say nothing of the last war
with England-he has distinguished himself by
genius, bravery. and chivalry, of the highest or
der He is also a noble son of the great State of
New York; full booded democrat, and one
quarter Overcome of the modest, one OF the most
glorious fellows that the sun of heaven ever
shone upon All who wish TO hold on to mill
tary glory and the mines of all Mexico at any
expense, and are not afraid of great public
debt, drain oil specie, or the suspension of the
banks, including, also, plenty of new taxes on
tea and coffee, and every thing else we eat and
wear will come up and sign this paper, and sup
port the democratic policy of the present day by
going to their great war meeting ia the unholy
Tammsny II III.
The foregoing calls-one for the democrats,
and the other for the whigs-will be found in
the Merchants Exchange to-day, and also at the
desk of the publication Office of the New York
