NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, December 1%, 1846, ‘the Senate in legislating for the benefit of the country. Letali parties sink all considerations and differences of opinion on the origin of the ‘The Weekly Herald. The Weekly Herald this week will be one of the | most valuable and interesting sheets we ever is- sued It will contain the foreign news received by the steamer Caledonia at Boston, with full accounts of the Fnglish murkets—thé message of President Pelk, the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Navy, and the Secretary of War —full accounts of the opening of Congress— late news from the Army and Navy—besides com- mercial, political, financial, and miscellaneous intelligence of great interest. It will be tlustrated with an accurate engraving of the remains of the steimer Atlantic, copied from a daguerreotype sketch.

We give on the first page of this day’s paper, | the documents from the State Department on | Mexican affairs, which accompanied the Presi- | dent’s message. again call upon Congress to give this subject some ter infinitely of more importance to the United | territory, or the propriety of imposing specific, | advalorim, hign or low duties on our importations It is The Treasury Report—its Secretary’s Suggestions. The annual report of the Secretary of the Trea- sury presents some very interesting facts in rela- tion to the finances of the country and the opera- | tion of the new systems which have gone and are | about going into force. It will be perceived that the remarks of the Secretary, in relation to the ad | valorem tariff, comprise a very large part of the report, and is, in fact, the principal feature of it. The estimates of receipts and expenditures for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1847 and 1848, show that a deficiency will be realized of nearly nineteen millions of dollars, after calculating upon the most liberal receipts from customs This deficiency depends upon the contingencies of the, war, and upon a vigorous prosecution of hostilities. We cannot make out precisely what altera- tions or modifications the Secretary proposes in relation to the Independent Treasury bill. The | remarks upon the operation of that act are so mysterious, that it is difficult to tell what is aim- edat and whatis required. There is no allusion to the specie clause in any way, no proposition or suggestion for a postponement of its operation; butit says that the department has proceeded to carry into full effect the intentions of Congress in the enactment of the law. So far as we are able to fathom the meaning of the Secretary, it up- pears that the officials authorized by the act, as it | now stands, are not sufficient to carry out the de- tails of it—that there are not a sufficient number of clerks to transact the public business under the law. This has nothing todo with the provisions of the act, and from all we can gather, the specie clause is to be strictly and promptly enforced. The establishment of a branch mint in this city isrecommended, as it would facilitate the operation of the Independent Treasury bill, be- come a depdésitory of the public money, and en- large the circulation of gold and silver. This has been before recommended, and we trust Congress | will give the subject that consideration its impor- | tance demands. Congress and the War. We regret very much the appearance of that spirit of opposition to the war with*Mexico, and the proceedings of the Executive, as well asthe officers of our army and navy, in the Pacific, in California, and in the Gulf of Mexico, in taking prompt, decisive and proper measures towards bringing it to a close as soon as possible, which 8 in its judgment it may seem best. has shown itselfin the House of Representatives, These projects differ from each other very es for the few days that Congress has been in ses- | sentially.

As a public journalist, we have consider- ed it our duty, in the fulfillment of the responsibility with which our position invests us, to keep the subject before the people —point out its gigantic importance—and the facility with which we can reach the apex of national grandeur, by constructing a railroad that will connect the navigable waters flowing into the Atlantic with those flowing into the Paci- fic. Wehave not only demoustrated its import- can be seen at noonday, its practicability—its feasibility. We have shewn that no serious: ob- stacles are in the way—that, in fact, nature her- self has overcome the only one that materially affect the undertaking, by cutting a natural pass through the Rocky Mountains. We have gone to the expense of having maps en- graved, showing our position between Asia and Europe—we ,have {furnished statements and sta- tistics, so that all who ran might read—we have given estimates of the probable cost, based on data thatcould not err. We have proved'con- work be done, and it will be done.
