CONGRE,SSIONAL.:I
'DEBATE OF THE rrtEsivENT.s.mEssAGE.
The ablelliscustion in the !louse of IZcp
resentativcs on the President's Messinre
was continued during the past week. (
the 22d ult. Mr. Dnvis, of Kentucky, made'
a brilliant speech in rebuke of those who
stood forth as the servile defenders of the Ex
ecutive power. !le argued upon the extra
ordinary spectacle which was presented to
the American People in defence of the Pres
ident, Who had, without consulting Con- 1
grcss, and in a reckless violation of the
Constitution, involved
. the country in a I
war with a foreign Power; and yet, for
pointing out and condenming an act like
this, charges of treason were made.
Mr. Davis rejoined to those who were
j
charging the Whigs with treason by a
Most pointed retort: What is treason !
it is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
And had not the Executive done this in ad
mitting Santa Anna to the city of . Vera
Cruz t Supposing Commodores Conner,
Morris, Perry, or other naval commander,
had done this, would they not have been
arraigned and tried for treasoe, and most
justly.? Supposing they had heed found
in conference and correspondence with
Santa Anna, would they not have .been
dragged before the Nonce, under Court
Martial orders? Umptestionably they
would. And this was precisely what die
Excutive had done and he could not escape
front the dilemma in which he was involved.
To the Senate on the 24th, Mr. .T. 111.
Clayton, on presenting a memorial from
the citizens of Delaware in regard to the
War, took occasion to define the position
of the Whig party in reference to the War.
Jle. made a very emphatic defence of the
Whig party against the imputation tin it
they were ready to cApple the arm of our
government in the prosecution of the war.
He saw no was• of arriving at peace but
by fighting out the war. lie declared his
readiness to strengthen the arm of the Ad
ministration, so that the war may he car
ried on vigorously. At a proper time he
was ready to go into a discussion of some
matters connected with the war; but did
not propose to do it at this time.
When Mr. Clayton made this statement
there was a profound silence and deep at
tention on the part of all the Senators of
the Democratic party.
SPEECH OF COI,. K En, OF THE ARMY.
In the House of Renresentatives, on -Mon
day, Col. E. D. Baker, of the regiment of
Illinois volunteers, recently returned from
Mexico on business, and who has resign
his seat in Congress to take effect on the
15th of January, took the floor, and con
cluded the debate on the motion (or a refer-
Mice of the PreSident's Message to appro
priate Committees. His speech was lis
tened to with marked attention. Ile de
scribed the sufferings which the volunteers
had been compelled to endure, their priva:
the House the necessity of Orompt and im
mediate action for their relief. The pres
ent force in Mexico he considered entirely
insufficient fur the vigorous prosecution of
the war to an early and honorable term in,
ation. With the regiments recently called
into service, the' number of men in Mexi
co would not exceed 20,000, and these
scattered over a great extent of territory.
The importance of an increaser f the ar 7
my was forcibly illustrated. Mexico, in
his opinion, was stronger and more uni
ted—her forces more concentrated, now
than ever. Her power had not been weak
ened, nor her resources crippled by her re
verses. Her people were more united,
and their operations more centralized, than
at the commeneament of the war. No
thing that we had done, was sufficient to
convince the Mexicans that we are able to
conquer them
We had as yet, speaking of the war on
a large scale, done comparatively nothing,
- toward conquering an honorable peace.—
Santa Anna has now in the field 25,000
well disciplined troop g, burning with a de
sire to,drive front tl(tr soil their northern
invaders. Whatever was to he done it
was important should be done the present
winter.:. Of the gallant regiments sent in
to the field since the commencement of the
var, burning with high hopes and antici
pations, how many arc now sleeping their
last sleep on the banks of the Rio Grande !
The bones of at least two thousand of the
best blood of the land whitened the soil on
the banks of the Del Norte.
It was impossible duly to appreciate the
difficulties of such a canqagti'---the saeri-

Mr. Baker, in conclusion, offered a res
caution, drawn up by ~ the Secretary °it

the Secretary to cause to be delivered to •
the officers of each regiment clothing for
the use. of each volunteer, the price to
be deducted at cost from their pay. and
clothing not used to be returned to the
government.
Tlhe committee rose, and the resolution
was unanimously passed. The various
topics of the President's message were then
referred, and the 1 - louse adjourned.
• From Mexico and ih'e
Advices from Vera Cruz to the Ist ofl
DeceMber, state that the Mexican Gov
ernment had drawn on the Church for
$2,000,000, much against the will of the
latter. Popular opinion, however, scent
ed to be in favor of the exaction, as it
was considered necessary to a proper con
duct of the War. Great preparations were
being made at Banta Luis Potosi to meet
any attack against that city. It is stated
that 25,000 men were assembled there,
with 52 pieces of cannon. Immense quan
tities of cannon balls, powder, &c., lead
been collected, and the fortifications were
daily becoming strow , :er. The greatest
enthusiasm is represented to prevail : A mong
the troops, and a determination to conquer
or die.
There, (at Potosi,) say - the Mexican
newspapers, will the fate of Mexico be de
cided, and farther resistance will be use
less. Fears were entertained, however,
find even there the fortunes of war would
be against them, and accordingly we find
preparations going on to defend the road
to the capitol. Forts were being; erected
at various points. and the passes were bc.
ing strengthened, but these works do not
seem to progvess very rapidly. Santa
Anna's evacuation of Tampico is defend
ed, on the ground of his inability to resist
the vessels of war; and that port being
one in which the yellow lever rages fierce
ly eight Inontlis in the year, the editors
predict that it will become a grave for
thousands of Americans, as it was fur the
invading Spaniards.
Accounts from Chilmalma to the 20th
of October confirm the arrest of the Amer
ican traders, .six in all, whose property
was conlisticated— James MeGotlin,
lien
ry Connelly, and .Mr. Francisco, were the
principal victims, and lose large fortunes.
The intelligence trout Monter; is to the

The U. S. brig of war Somers was capsiz

sunk in a few minutes ; out of 80 persons
on board. 35 had perished. Eight others
drifted ashore on hen-coops near Vera

Mexicans. The Somers seems to have
been peculiarly unfortunate. On the sth

Taxing Tea and Coffee.
According to the following paragraph from the
"Washington Fountain, the Presidents suggestion
to tax tea and coffee is likely to he voted down by
the House, and with very little ceremony :
"We are informed that six. of the mem
bers of the Committee of Ways and Means,
three Whigs and three Democrats, arc in
flexibly opposed to recommending a tax
on tea and coffee for war purposes ; and
the opinion is openly expressed by the most

duced for that purpose it will not receive
fifty votes in the Douse.

sorrowful intelligence of the death of :1 I. 1: \.\ N.

from Lanisinkta. Mr. 13. had been On a visit to
Baltimore for a few days, ;nal taking a violent cold
on Pt hi:ly night, was immediately prostrated. The
most eminent physicians of' the city were at once
called in, but the diseu6e battled all,reinedies, Mr.
Barrow continuing to sink until Tuesday morning,
when he resigned Ids breath surrounded by friends
who loved him living, and lament him dead. Mr.
B. was one of the most li,:tinguished members of
the :-.4enate, and with him died "one of the noblest
rial body." The intelligence of his extreme illness
produced a profound sensation in Washington city,
and a number of his most intimate personal friends
immediately left for Baltimore to have the sad con
solation of being at his side when the lamp of life
went out—among these Messrs. Crittenden, Ar
cher, Gentry, Foote, Bell, Crozier, and Vance.—
The Senate being apprised of his death, Ito

by an attempt to walk in his room while too frehle.
Tho venerable statesman is anxious to return to

bidden him to think of it.
tfilLetter writers from Washington City now
confidently state that Mr. Polk will, in a few days,
transmit to Congress his proposition tor the Crea
tion of a new military officer (Lieutenant Gener
al) outranking, Scott, Gaines, Taylor, Worth, &c.,
and that Mr. flc.N•rosr, of the U. S. Senate, has been
fixed upon as the individual to fill it. Cui horn)?
Have the Administration become alarmed lest
Scott and Taylor should manage anirs too success
fully, and this bring the war to a close too soon
for Mr. Porx's purposes?
EPThe last advices from Mexico represent the.
greatest enthusiasm to exist among all , closes in
reference to the War. Santa Anna seems to pos
sess the unlimited confidence of the Mexicans as a
General, and every thing is being done to prepare
him to meet our forces. I)id Mr. Polk "aid and

ought to be distinguished by the 'dullest
gifts and most exalted qualifies. Our State
is deeply in%olted in Welt—the
natives are end) ras ,- 4,l—the people are
heat ily burthened with taxation, and are
(Tying. aloud for relief. 'Po extricate)te
State from 'these ernharragsments-, and re
lieve the people to some (txtent from the
onerous burthens now imposed on them',
we inust elect a Chief :Magistrate of a
higher order of statesmanship than he w ho
now occupies the Exeeutive chair. It
therefore hellooves the Whigs of Pennsti
tania to seleet a man as their candidate for
Governor of the most undoubted rapacity
and unsullied (diameter. The election of .
a Whig Cot enter of ordinary capacity
and doubtful nerve would result in tin ben
efit to the people--world fall short of pub
lie expectation--and %could not fall to prune
a lasting injury to the finere success of the
Whig elitist, in Pennsylvania. The can
didate ought to. and we believe will, be, a
man whose aoknowledged abilities as a
profound and sagacious Statesman Will en
title him to the warmest support of the peo
ple, while his purity of eharacter and h
ums as a man will command their respect
and confidence---t% hose whole public life
give:! evidence that he is thoroughly imbu
ed with sound De:necrotic M'ltig principles
and affords an ample guarantee that he has
the mind and energy to institute the neces
sary 'clones in the admiuistration of the.
Got eminent, and that ho is both al.le and
willing to reinstate our glorious Common
wealth in her former proud position among
the sisterhood of States. Let the Whig
party select 7.ltelr a candidate, and the tri
umph of its glorious principles will be com
plete in the Keystone State. The election
of such a man to the Chief Magistracy of
this Commonwealth will not be a mere
victory for the spoils ; but will be follow
ed by the blessings of good government
—the permanent establishment of Whig .
Ineaqures--and the future ascendancy
the \Vhig cause in the State. And who,
among all the great and good men spoken
of as candidates, combines, in a more em
inent degrer, - iffi the essential refinishes in
his character, than Lebanon comity's first
choice l—who, among Clem all, would
make a more gifted and energetic Chief
Magistrate, than Hob. JANES COOPER.
In the band of distinguished gentlemen
whose names have been brought forward
for Governor. there is none whom we re
gard more worthy and deserving the con
fidence and support of the Whigs of Penn
sylvania, and whom we could support n
itlt
a more hearty good will, than the popular
Orator of the 1 oung Guard," st hose able
and effirient servives in Congress in secu
ring the passage of the Whig Tariff of
1813 have endeared hint to every true
hearted Pennsylvanian, and whose whole
public career has been an honor to the
State and abundantly attests his ability as
a Statesman. Distinguished for sound
ness of intellect, energy of character, clear
ness of judgment, enlarged and liberal
views of public policy, ardent devotion to
the Whig cause, and purity of character,
there would be an honor and dignity and
glory around his very name as a leader,
that would make him a glorious Captain
to lead the Whig legions of Pennsylvania
on to the contest and to victory. Born to
a eomparative inheritance of poverty, he
is in a manner a sell'-made Statesman, who
owes the bistro of his fame to his own in
domitable energy and perseverance. Ac
quaieted from practical experience w
the feelings, habits and wants of the labor
ing- classes—democratic in his sympathies
and associations--he would enlist the hear
ty sympaties of the masses in his favor,
and would marshal them to the contest,
irrespective of former associations, actua
ted only by one soul and one spirit to se
cure the triumph or their favorite leader.
Young, ardent, bold, and eloquent, like
JONES of Tennessee and of Ohio,
he could be induced to fullow * their exam
ple and canvas the State, and would by his
eloquence anti energy inspire an entlinsi•
asm among the Whigs that could •not fail
to result in similar success. Designate
JAMLS Coorrn as the chosen leader in the
coming Gubernatorial contest—enjoin up-.
on him the duty of contassing the State--
and we feel assured, that he will bear &-
ward and aloft the great Standard of he
Whig party on which is inscribed "

unquestioned ability to meet in discussion.

may select as their champion. In tit?
hands of such a man as James Cooper,
thoroughly familiar as he is with the his
tory- and principles of his party, and tin--
interests of Pennsylvania, the valise oft
whiggery can suffer no detriment, let who
may be his opponent. And here we wit
remark without it desire to reflect upon o

As light is to the physical world, so is
health to the physical frame—remove the
