And that cry, Mr. Speak er, I trust, will continue to 611 the mouths of the people until, the act of 11446 shall have been -blotted from the statute hook. I One word further, as to the wisdom of re pealing the act of 18.12. If atany time it would have been wise to repeal that act, the tillle selected was the the Most unw ise. The country had just been plunged into a; causeless war by the wilfulness or folly (di the President. It is a war which must ne-! cessarily be waged at the expense of a vast amount of money. This, of all times, was the least proper to change the revenue! laws of the country, so as to render them i less productive. I know, Mr. Speaker, that we have been informed by_ the Pres ident and Secretary, that the Tariff of '46! will yield an increased revenue: They are both mistaken. It will not do so; and I time will prove it. If, for the next fiVe years, this act shall produce an annual-ay erage revenue of $18,000,000, without the! imposition of duties on tea and coffee, as recommended by the President, I will he surprised. In the meantime, while the revenues of the government are decreasing, its debt and expenses will he increased to an alarming extent. The war with Mex ico, conducted as it is, with a folly as pro voking as its commencement needless and unjust, will in a year more, if it should continue, involve the country in a debt of $100.000,000, and cost thousands of price less lives. I know, Mr. Speaker, that even to hint disapprobation of the war with Mexico, either as it regards its commencement or progress, "is to give aid and comfort to the enemy," according to President Polk.— But in what I dare to speak ! darcto think. I believe the war sae needlessly begun, and that its conduct since has been a suc cession. of blunders as far as the executive was concerned. But notwithstanding this, I ant as proud of our victories and as anx ious for the success of our army as the most open mouthed patriot that finds his advantage in lauding tine President. The war has begun; and although we may not be doubly armed as "he who bath his quar rel just," I. will still pray devoutly for the success of our arms—still watch their pro gress in, hope that victory will attend them. I will be glad whenF hear that San Luis is ours; I shall learn with joy that the castle of San Juan has fallen; and will exult when the remnant of the Mexican army has been driven behind the ramparts of their ancient capitol; and although in her last and final stritglP,le for her rights and her existeuee, Mexico may discover a spirit caorthy of her _ancestry—worthy of the chivalry 'of the old conquiTthri—although we may see her women in the trenches fighting side by side with their Ithsbands in a last e'tfort to repel the invaders=altho' we may see her priests in a new vocation, and as holy as that to 'Which they were originally consecrated, with a crucifix in one hand and nswordd in. the other, smiting the eneinies.of theirenaatry with-the right, while they proffer with the left the ,enitunn. of salvation to the soldier dying in defenee of the liberties of his country—although it may beat the expense of such generous de votion and exalted heroism—a devotion and heroism worthy of the pcondest days of her noble ancestors, I. shall still pray for the success - of our arms. If this be treason-, Mr. Speaker, it is treason against virtue, and. not against trgy country- FOREIGN. Arrival of the Steamer Hibernia. --- IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. Great uidvancc in Cotton, Flour (S.

The fol lowing synopsis of the news we clip from the Baltimore Sun : The cotton market had avanced at an unprecedented rate. Georgia bowed was selling at from three-fourth to one penny higher than it was on the 4th ultimo ; Mo bile a half penny higher, and Alabama, Tennessee and N. Orleans from one-eighth to seven-eigth. Flour had advanced from five to six shillings ; ctifti• tWelve to fourteen shillings; wheat three to Pour shillings ; and corn meal five shillings. The money market was quiet. From two to three hundred thousand pounds, in , specie, came in the steamer to Boston. The President's message was regarded in Ahigland as - giving full assurance that Tow duties on the manufactures or that country will be maintained, which has giv en English manufacturers a cheerful pros pect for their trade the ensuing spring. The Paris papers assert that the French Government intends proposing a reduc tion of the duty on foreign corn. There has been a terrible immartion the Roman States, causing great distress. The loss of property is extensive. The new Pope is mitigating hardships by the use of his purse, as well as by personal ex ertions- The Pope has reduced duties on foreign Grain. • The President's message is assailed by the whole English Press, and much abuse is heaped on that portion of.it sustaining the Mexican war. The Proposed annex-' ation of California is more unpopular in England than dud of Texas was when first proposed. They make Severe conk meats upon. the Pesident's,declaration that the war was not undertaken with a view of conquest.

The speech has been highly lauded by the Whig Press throughout the State, and even our opponents have been con:trained to acknow ', ledge it to be a superior effort. Some portions of the speech arc thrillingly eloquent. The whole fully sustains the high reputation of its distinguish " ed author.

The Flour Market. The news by the Hibernia has created quite an excitement in the flour market, causing a mate rial advance in the price. In 'Baltimore large sales were made on Saturday, previous to the ar rival of the Hibernia, at $5. On Monday, after the intelligence by the steamer was announced, soy erai thousand barrels exchanged hands at an ad vance of 51) cents. In New Volk and Philadel phia, the prices ranged from $6.50 to $6.68. The Loan fill Passed. On Thursday week, the Rill authorizing the President to issue Treasury notes to the amount of $2i,000,000, passed the House of Representa tives of the United States by a large majority. irrThe Loan Bill passed the House on Tues day--year 42—nays 2. Tariff' Resolutions Passed. On Thursday week, the Resolutions instructing our Senators in Congress to exert their influence fir a repeal of The Tariff of 18111, passed the House of Representatives of this State by a vote of 55 to 41—every Locnfoco except Mr. Klingenworth, iipposing. - _ IErA Bill has been reported by a Select Corn mittee of the Home of Representatives of the 0- hio Legislature, to aboliAi Capital Punishment. Irginta Senator. The Legislature of Virginia succeeded on the the 21st in,t. alter nine ballotings, in electing Jous V. Meson, Senator from that State, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Pen. nybacker. Mr. Mason is said to be conservative in bit= v iews, and opposed to the ultra measures of the party. Mr. Ifunter,who was chosen to sue, ceed Mr. Archer, is said to belong to the same school, of which we have some evidence in his vote upon the Lieutenant General Question, he having voted in opposition to this Administration measure. Mr. Mason was elected by a union of the Whigs and a portion of the Locos in opposition to the regular caucus 'nominee. cCTIte Legislature of lowa failed to meet in joint session on the sth inst. to elect IT. S. Senntois. It is probable now that no election will take place, —so that the State will be without Senators for two years to come, in consequence of the Legislature not meeting again until November, 18 43. The Gilley Resolutions. . The Resolutions of Mr. Ct taxr, requesting the President to withdraw our forces to the Rio Grande. waS taken up on Wednesday. Mr. Cilley explained that his object was to withdraw our army to some place in "'the United States, there' to perfect its discipline, increase its force, and then make a powerful descent upo n Mexico. The way in which we were now pros. ecuting the war is useless. We were acting in detail, without any effctual result, and the men were falling victims to disease. The Resolutions were, by a unanimous vote, laid on the table. jErThe Conveidion Bill has pasictl both branch es of the Kentucky Legislature. This is a highly important move, and will produce great excitement in that State for the next two rears.• Fire in Boston.

Gen. Taylor's Letter; The New York 1 7 ,Xttr . e;s last week iinblished i a letter from Gen. TAYLOn, iit which he charges up on the Government mismanagement in the prose cution of the war, and eompliiins of the tardiness with which supplies were forwarded. The Letter has created no little excitement at Washington.— We rewret that the crowded state of our columns precludes the publication orthe letter entire. An extract, with some appropriate remarks by the ed itor of the LI be found in a suk,e- fluent column been written t was not intended for the public eye. its publica tion, however, has been deemed proper. in view of the base attempt which is now being made by the pliant tools of the Executive, and seconded by a corrupt and venal press, to detract from the hard earned fame of the war-worn veteran. Its publi cation is timely. It is a frank and manly letter, characteristic of the man, and just what might_ have been expected from "Old Rough and Ready:' and we mistake much the sentiment of the peo ple. if this mean attempt of the Administration to put down Gen. Taylor will not recoil upon their own heads. The American people will nei•er consent to see the character of Gen Taylor thus ruthlessly assailed by unprincipled demagogues who regard nothing too base which kill suberve their partizan purnores, and not rouse to his de fence. The Philadelphis Sun, alluding to this letter, speaks of the conduct of the Administration in this manner: The fame of Taylor is now the fame of his country—and wo to the miscreants who attempt to blast it by the breath of courtiers awl the contem pt it& minions of power. Read his noble and frank letter—scrutinize his acts—trace him in his bril liant campaigns—achieving victory after victory, in the face of privations and difficulties caused by the imbecility of the Executive, that would have palsied the hand of any one less determined in ac tion, and less fertile in vast resources. Glorious, indeed, has been the career of old Rough and Ready d what is his reward? The venom-tooth of slander—tearing him to pieces by the President and his hirelings! Shanue—shame! on the trai tors who thus traduce him. A double halo will gather round his brow as the foul mist of their malignant hearts issues from their mouths—L. Without any of the aids and auxiliaries, indispen sable to a campaign—destitute of all means of transporting his troops, ammunition and provis ions, but those of his own providing—the brave old hero has conquered a great portion of the IZeptib lie of :Mexico, with a handful of troops that no o ther General would have the courage to lead on such a gigantic expedition. And because he a chievedntiracles, in utter defiance of government, the wicked and imbecile of that government hate him!, One drivelling calumniator avers him to .trirrave— ,, but without the talent to avail himself of the advantages of victory! when the ohl hero proves that Mr. Polk furnished him with nQue of the facilities necessary to a pursuit—even had the Mexicans not dispersed—so as to leave no foe in the field. Stupid malignity was never so baffled in its attempt to support civil imbecility by im peaching Anillitary genious who, with defective supplies, of all kinds, has conquered seven provin ces of Mexico in, as many months! But the: great offence of Gen. Taylor was, that he expoSed the blunder of government:in attempting to "conquer pence,"by the route of San Lois Potosi—and in dicating Vera Cruz as the only point from which we could bring Mexico to terms! In fine, the elo oilent simplicity of this great man's letter is worthy of as much admiration as his triumphant battles and cannot fail to attach the hearts of the peo ple to him more nearly, and more warmly than ever. llonor to old &nigh and Ready. It'is said that the Mend to whom the letter was ‘Nlitten is Maj. Gen. GAINEC Lieutenant General. On Monday, in the U. S. Senate, Mr. BT.NTO made a speech in vindication of the President for having proposed the creation of the office of Lieu tenant Geiieral The plan, lie said, was his, not the President's. In September last, the President had offered him the mission to France, which he had positively declined. During the month of November he had sent for him and asked his opinion reltive to the future conduct of the war. In responding to this query, Mr. Benton had proposed a plan, and afterwards reduced it to writing; its features he would not disclose, but he would say, however, that his plan required one head for the whole army, the prose cution of the war with vigor, living on the enemy, and levying contributions fiont them. General Jackson, he said, had offered him a command in the mmy in 1830, in case of a war with Mexico. In 1812, he (Mr. Benton) was military superior to every General now in the service, and hail only mentioned these things to vindicate the President. In commenting upon the speech of Mr. Ben ton, the U. S. Gazette remarks, that there must have been a great deal of palpable ridicule in the exhibition cf n person who, (luring the war of 1812 remained on the recruiting service, without seeing a shot fired, boasting of having held higher rank once than General Scott, Taylor, Gaines, and the whole list of general officers of the army.

DrAn :—The resolutions, instructing our enritors and, requesting our Representatives in Congress to support a bill for the repeal of the free trade act of 1846, and restoration of the tariff laws of 18.12, gave rise to a very spirited and somewhat protracted discussion in the House of Representai fives. The resolutions were supported by Messrs. Big ham, Edie, Leyburn, Allison, and others, and °Rio ,sed by Messrs. Knox, Mulct, Bushnell, Hasson and Krick. Most of the speeches on both sides were able, and some of them eloquent. Mr. Bigham made a good speech. Your old townsman, Edie, a first rate one. He is a good speaker—one of the best in the House. Mr. Leyburn also made a highly creditable speech. Mr. Allison, from Bea ver, distinguished himself greatly in the debate. 'He promiks to be one of the best members in the House:, confident i al, having York, and of course Mr. Fox's speech in reply to Mr. Hasson was a regular Tom Corwin effort in point of humor.— Mr. Hasson had questioned the patriotism of the wings, and reelected in rather rough and uncorteons terms on their alleged hostility to the Mexican war —vaunting somewhat of his own courage and alum. patrire;—for the gentleman from Cambria is a classic and quotes Latin. Fox extinguished the successor of Michael Dan completely•. He dubbed him Captain No. 1 of Company No. 2; and after many disasters by «flood and field," brought the redoubtable Tipperarian into contact with "Mr." Santa Anna on the plains of Mexico. A chal lenge to mortal combat was protThred by the gal lant Captain N. 1, of Com p any No. '2, to the Mexican Chief. The former with a brick-bat in one hand and a shillelah in the other rushed on his antagonist; and then began one of those combats which a Homer might sing, hut which your cor respondent can but poorly describe in barren prose: A long and desperate conflict ensued in which the gallant Captain was unhorsed, or rather ullinnledi after having broken the only remaining leg of the Mexican General by a cost of his brick-bat. The shock of the opposing armies at length separated the combatants; and after a while the valiant Cap tain No. 1 of Company No. 2, was to be seen like an animated "Jack of Hearts" (which lie much resembles) raging through the field like another Richard at Bosworth, exclaiming, " lily mule, my mule, my shamroch for a mule 1" The Ihnise was in convulsions of laughter du ring the whole of the speech ; and the gentleman from Dauphin has laid out the gehtletnan' from Cambria, as cold as Corwin formerly laid out the gentleman from Michigan. Aside from his inimi table humor, Mr. Pox is an able man, promising much of future tiselulness. The Legislature has bjen making considerable progress in business; and if the industry thus far practised should continue, the session may be brought to a close by the 10th or 15th of March. This will lie doing something in the way of Re form for which the Legislature will deserve credit. V'eurs, truly, ronnx.srox n or Tits "STAB AND BANN1:11. " A unisnynn, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 27, 1847. Although lint little of general interest has trans pired in either branch of the Legislature within a few days. the proceedings of both Houses are char acterized by a working disposition that cannot but recommend the present Legislature to the favorable regard of the people—especially the tax-paying por tion of them. The Whig members seem deter mined to practice upon the principle of Economy, which has been so much professed by both.. parties, and so much desired by the people, but unfortunate ly too little observed by our Opponents when in possesion of power. A large mass of Legislation, partaking of a local character, is daily pressed through with as little discussion as possible. lam sorry to see that the Locofoco members avail them of every possible occasion to produce unnecessary delay, with the view, I presume, of protracting the session so as to prevent an unfavorable compari son with their own lengthened deliberations in times I, past. On Saturday, the Resolution appropriating $lO,- 000 towards •defraying, the expenses incurred by the Pennsylvania volunteers in being mustered into the service of the U. States, was adopted in the House on Saturdliy, after being amended so as to request the General Governinent to refund the same to the State. The amendment, after an animated debate in which - Messrs. Evans, Cooper, Piolet, Allison, Holy, Knox, Blair, and Leyburn, participa 7 ted, was agreed to by a vote of 58 to 37—the Loco focos opposing it. The Resolution, as amended, MIS then unanimously adopted. The Resolutions instructing our Senators and re questing our Representatives in Congress to op pose the annexation of any territory to the United States, unless the Institution of Slavery be forever excluded, were adopted on final passage in the House'yesterday, by a unanimous vote-05 to:0 ! That is language worthy of , Pennsylvania, and, I trust, will meet with a cordial response from every good citizen. The Legislature met in joint convention on Titer day to allot the public printing, but in consequence of some additimial requirements from contractors having been enacted since the proposals were hand ed in, it was determined to postpone the allotment to a future day. • In the House to-day, Mr. EmE reported a Bill providing that voting tit Elections in Adams coun ty be allowed by general ticket. A large number of petitions, asking for the pri velege of voting on the License Question, nie daily 'presented in both Houses. To-day Mr. Trego presented 113 petitions of this kind, signed by upwards of 3000 citizens of Philadelphia. The State Temyerance Convention convened in this place to-day. The Convention is numerous ly attended, Gen. GHEENE, of Union county, pre siding. .This evening, in company with some twelve or fifteen hundred others, I had th e gratift cation of hearing the distinguished Tetn perance Lecturer, Jolts B.

I have this moment received an answer (to my de spatch announcing the surrender °Mon terey, and the circumstances attending the same,) front the Secretary of War, stating that "it was regretted by the President that it is not deemed advisable to insist on the terms I had proposed in my first coin- munication to the Mexican comntander, in regard to giving up the eity"—adding'lriiir' - ! "the circumstances which dictated, no doubt justified the change." Although the terms of the capitulation why be considered too liberal on our part by the President and his advisers, as well as by many others at a distance, particularly by those who do not understand the position which we oc cupied, (otherwise they might come to a different conclusion on die matter,) yet on .due reflection, I see nothing to induce me to regret the course I pursued. The prop osition of Gen. Ampudia, which had much to 'do in determining my course in the matter, was based on the ground that our Government had proposed to his to settle ~the existing difficulties by negotiation, I (whieli I knew was the case without know ing the result). which was them -under consideration by the proper authorities, and which he (Gen. Ampudia) had no I doubt would result favorably, as the whole • of his people were in favor of peace.
