The Secretary of the Treasury has had twelve months of almoat incersant labor, day and night,upon bis hands. Superadded to thesupervision of the multifarious minu- tie of s new financial and commercial system, he has had visiters and officials constantly barrassing him, day in and day out, while the arrangement of his machinery hes kept bim at work, very often, night in and night out. The result was, that he broke down Jast summer, and was obliged to fly to Rockaway for repose and recupera- tiem: He recovered rapidly, notwithstanding he amused himeelf, ed in matters perteining to the department. On his retnrn, he went into business with a greater zeal than ever, and for several months he hae been invisible in the streets of Wa flitting into Coleman’s after Bogardus or somebody else from the New York customa, or Marcus Mortor, of Bos- ton, (late Governor of Massachusetts, by one vote) or, peradventure, some deputy of the sud-treasury, | bo! dowa with transfers to New Orleans on account of the army. Noman could stand this sort of “ all work end no play.” Yet Congress was approachiog, and the in- domitable Secretary braced himself up for tation of bis accounts. 11 was not till last night thet be had concluded the work of his annual report.

The war—what are we to do fora peace?’ The Presi- dent recommends the vigorous prosecution of the war— Mr. Clay recommends the abandonment of Mexico en- tirely—the entire relinquishment of her territorit! ‘The friends of Mr. Calhoun say, no treaty can be mi with Mexico on the terms proposed by Mr. Polk— that the Mexican rulers would not di or agree, to such term: the Mexican people; the Sey of thy being the unconquerable national idea with the Mexi- ‘Thus we see, according to Mr. Calhoun’s views, ews of his friends, that while the planot Mr. Polk is a hopeless one in view of & treaty of peace, because of the repugnance of the Mexican to any such plan for the dismemberment of their country, the pronunciamente y cannot be adopted, because it would be peopling the country on this side, is supposed to be the plan; because, as in the case of Texas, it is argued that we can never get the assent of the Mexicans to the line proposed, until the territory intervening is alienated from Mexico by being in the occupancy of another and more powerful race, and in their inevitable possession, permunently, by force of such occupation. Such are the views of the friends of Mr. Calhoun, who are also the friends of Gen. Taylor. The pian is also the plan of old Palo Alto. Whatever may be the views of Mr. Calhoun himself, we know bis opinion to be that the continued prosecution of the war willlead to the annexation of the whole of Mexico, and that then we shall only be at “the beginning of the end.” His opinions in reference to Mr. Clay’s project, we do not know ; but ppose he has ho faith in ita practioablity. But wait the railing of the waters, and if the senator from South Carolina is not in his place; and if he does not indicate the way of safety and of peac shall have failed in our opinions of his far-reaching eagacity. ‘The friends of Gen. Taylor here are not idle—the friends of Mr. Calhoun are with the movement. A for- mal bringing out of “Old Zachary”’by State conventions, is ry engl of organization. The hurrahs, of Monterey and Buena Vista “ba: lied into an echo;”’ but the old hero, so plain, «0 much one of the people, in his old brown coat and check shirt, and in his honest simplicity of oha- racter, has taken « deep hold upoo the country, which the superb achievements of Gen. Scott, in the basin of Popecatepetl, have not shaken fora moment. While the people are proud of Scott as the very personification of military perfection, he is still not identified #0 closely with the people. Taylor, on the other band, isa brother to the masses. He is one of them. They claim him to be one of them; and his old brown coat and check sbirt have worked like # charm tothis conclusion. We hear, too, some of the old friends of Henry Clay suggest that they haae sacrificed themselves eufficiently for him to watisfy all reasonable expectations, and that now he should graciously condescend to’ sacrifice himeelf for them. We hall #ee if he will doit. If he does not, he runs, at the least, the hazard of another defeat. ‘This brings us to the chaplains for Congress. Mr. Pet- tit, as usual, opposes the payment of ihe stated preach- ing of the gospel” to the two houses, out of the public LJ bY pe! treasury. We are afraid that the faith of Mr. Pettit is like that of Peter—that it will not hold him up when he comes to walk the water. Still, we should not objest to the payment of the chaplains out of the mileage of the members; but a decent respect for the opinions of Chris tian rociety, requires that we should have the cbapiains ; and we don’t care to what churoh they belong. so that they are good men and preach Christ and him crucified ; and without the blarney of brother Maffit, whose weak- est point point ie, his barney.
