'Who is James K. Polk? The Pol - par-
ty have now got tl1e vessel of S.ate upon
the breakers, before they have sailed one
half of the voyage. They have placed our
countrv in the dreadfulsitnatiori predicted
they would. They have involved us in a
war, squandered the public money, run in
debt, disturbed and broken down our safe
system of finance, and are now preparing
to criminate and recriiuinate each other,
and thus to weaken the bonds of the Union
~ by creating Northern and Southern sec-
tions of the same great party.
There are dreadful threats made to night.
The refusal to tax tea and coffee, and to
create the office of Field Marshal, with the
exhibition made by Preston King, in favor
of excluding slavery from all the new ter-
iitory, has thrown discortls and divisions
into their ranks. There is talk ofdissolu-
tions of the Cabinet and of the Union.
Whether it will go farther than threats we
shall see.
The Committee of'Ways and Means
have under consideration a loan bill.
‘I hey are sadly puzzled to know exactly
what to do. _
It is supposed that vast sums of Treasu-
ry notes of small denorriiiiations must be
issued to meet the emergencics of the
Treasury.
It is curious that the President has but
one member in each of the committees-—
on il'IilitaryAfliiirs and of Ways and Means
-——out of six political friends on each, in
favor of his schemes of finance and tactics
in conducting the war.
CONGRESSIONAL.
MONDAY. Jan. 4.
In the SENATE, a message from the Pres-
ident was received and read. He asked
an increase of the army, and the appoint-
ment ofa Lieut. General. Referred to the
Military Committee.
Also, a message from the President rela-
tive to the transmission of mail: to and
from the army.
A memorial for aid for the projected
Railroad to the Pacific, and a memorial to
bring the war with Mexico to a speedy
close, were presented.
The bill to reduce and graduate the
Public-Lands came up and was made the
ipecial order for Monday.
The Senate went into Executive session,
soon after adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Preston King asked
leave to introduce a bill, substantially a
transcript of that of last session, appropri-
ating $30,000 to enable the President to
conclude a treaty of peace with Mexico.
The ‘House refused to suspend the rules-to
receive it-—-88 to 89,
Personal. explanations were made he-
ween Mr. Bayly and Mr. Davis, and the‘
offensive expressions of etch were with-
drawn in _a manner highly honorable to
‘both gentlemen. -
A message was received from the Pres-
idant, recommending earnestly the adop-
tion of the Secretary of War’s suggestions
for increasing the efiiciency and better
organization of the army ; for an increase
of the oflicers in the regular army, and
particularly in the higher grades and for
the appointment ofa general officer to take
command ofall the forces in the field du-
ring the war. '
The President says that it is desirable
that eflicient measures be taken to termi-
nate the war before the warm sea'son.com-
risen-éu. He cells the -attention of Con-
gress to the importance of immcd.'ate "ac-
tion iri this matter. The message “as
referred to the military coir-mittee. i
The special order was taken tip in Com-
mittee of the Whole, being the bill nu-’
thoriziug ten regiments.
Amendments were proposed-
The Comtnittee rose, reported progress,
and the House adjourned.
Tossnar, Jan. 5.
The SENATE to day transacted no mat-
ters of public importance till they went iii-
to Executive session.
The great fciitufe of attraction was the
House of‘Representatives. The Commit-
tee on Military Affairs this morning asked
leave to report back, the President's Mes-
sage referred to them yesterday, as far as
it relates to the c.rea‘ion of a new Military
Officer, and that it lie lipon the table. This
was equivalent to throwing the Message
back in the Presidenr’s face.
The two great measures recommended
by the President-a tax on ten and coffee,
and the creation of a new officer, are both
killed by the President’s own party. The
part of the Message referred to was laid
on the table, the Pr:-sideut’s friends re-
questing that the Yeas and Nays might not
be called to expose their weakness, which
request was agreed to as a special favor.
Mr. Preston King then made -a long
speech in defence of the VVilmot amend-
ment, which produced great excitement.
The HOUSE having resolved itself into
Committee of the Whole the bill for the
creation often new regiments of regular
troops was talren up and discussed by Mr.
A. Johnson generally in defence ofllie fol-
lies and usurpations of the President, and
by Mr. Hilliard of Alabama, in favor of
prosecuting the war, though not approving
the manner in which it is brought on.
Mr. C. B. Smith having obtained the
floor, the Committee rose and the House,
pending a resolution to limit the present
debate, adjourned.
W'1:n1vi-:sn.u'. Jan. 6.
In the SENATE, Mr. Tlioinas Cayton
presented a memorial from the citizens of
Wilmington, Delaware, to bring the war
to a close.
The Committee an Printing, reported
against printing the petition of the Sugar
Planters of Louisiana, for the repeal of the
Tariff of 184-6.
The bill for the sale of Lake Superior
Copper Mines was taken up. sundry amend-
ments passed, and it was ordered to be
printed. The consideration of the bill
was postponed until Friday.
The Senate went into Executive Session
and on the opening of the doors, adj.

of'Dece1nbe1' 6th, from which we copy as fol-

One thing, however, is certain, that the
further we proceed into the Mexican terri-
tory, the more hostile the people become;
and shoull our arms happen to meet one
reverse, there would be some (all wril/ririg,

of the Rio Grande, while the enemy, during
the whole of the Arrriistice,have been con-

leave their defences, and march down upon
us, we should have our hands fullto sustain
