‘Wasuinoron, Jan. 10, 1848. Mr. Hannegan vs. Mr. Calhoun. In December, 1845, Mr. Hannegan offered a series of resolutions in the Senate, declaratory of our title to 54 40, and of the dishonor that would follow the surrender of that boundary. Mr. Calhoun offered in opposition to them, reso- lations declaring the line of 49 as the true line. The result is before the world. And we shall ever be proud of our humble but indefatigable agency, through the medium of the Herald, in behalf of Mr. Calhoun’s proposition, our ground having been chosen before even Mr. Calhoun had taxen his stand on that startling question. In December, 1847, Mr. Calhoun submitted re- solutions agaiast the project of annexing Mexico —the immediate provocation being the resolu- tions of Mr. Dickinson, looking in the opposite direction. But the resolutions of Mr. Dickinson do not exactly meet those of Mr. Calhoun, and so, Mr. Hannegan to-day mukes an affirmative of Mr. Calhoun’s negative proposition, and declares that it may become the policy of the United States to annex Mexico as a province. This day two weeks Mr. Hannegan proposes to callup these resolutions, when we may expect a speech in answer, directly, to that of Mr. Cal- houn; and upon this question of the policy of the annexation of Mexico we should like to see some vote of the Senate given. And we will tell you why. Mr. Cass has declared, and others have declared, that no man expecis or desires to destroy the nationality of Mexico; yet we hup- pen to know, that Mr. Cass expects the Baltimore nomination upon this very identical proposition; and we happen to know that a very large propor- tion of the democrats of the Senate are p.ivate- ly ia favor of the annexation of Mexico. We are not debating the policy; we are merely stating what we know; At we believe, moreover, that the President goes for it—that the recommenda- tions tn the messige are intended to lead to it ; but that, notwithstanding all this, if Mr. Polk could geta respectable prece of Mexico, he would take i, in order to get the job off his hands. He never, ia the world, suspected such an ugly state of tniugs to grow out of the order to Z.ch Taylor tomarch to the Rio Grande. He expected that the Mexicans would knock under, sign a treaty, sell California as a consideration for indemuitics, and ‘hat ail tois would be accomplished just as easily us the annexation of Texas {t wusa great pity that John Tyler created Jaines K. Polk out of Texas, by tnat winged messenger sent off under cover of a dark might, with his pockets full of gold, and his stomach warmed with whis- key punches. If John Tyler (may God forgive him !) had just let the annexotion business tall into the naods of his rightiul successor, all would have been right. But ne did not; and so Polk had to cut a new slice off the loaf, aud lo! the result : ‘€ We shall await Mr. Hanuegan’s demonstra- tion with great anxiety. Meantime, we are ex- pecting p ace overvures from Mexico, aud Gud graut that they may come, and be satistactory. Ww. Wasuincron, Jan. 10, 1848. Harry of the West Mr. Clay came in this morning, and wes re- ceived, by a spontaneous turn-out of the citizens, atthe depot, where he was cheered heartily on meking his appearance; and on arriving at his quarters, at the United States Hotel, he was com- pelled to appear on the palsony, and thank the people. For a man of his age, he is certainly in stroug and vigorous health. He looks actually younger and fresher than he did on his visit nere in the spring of 1844. A large number of his friends, of both houses, as well as of citizens and strangers, called on him to-day. He dined in the ladies’ ordinary, and there were Mr. J. M. Clayton, Mr. Crittenden, Mr. Mangum, and Mr Berrien, of the Senate, and Mr. Vinton, More- head, and Mr. Botts, of the House, Hon. W. C. Rives, ot Virginia, and Colonel Russell, of Cali- fornia, and others, around him, in addition to the boarders of the house, among whom are Mr. Senator Dickinson, of New York, and family, Captain Thietie and family, and others. THIRTLE rH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. House of Representatives. Wasxincron, Jan, 10, 1848. THE PRESIDENT’s MESSAGE—DEFENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATION. . After the House killed the resolution authorizing the Postmaster General to restore the former arrangement for carrying the Southern mail, by refusing to order it to be engrossed fer s third reading, cn motion of Mr. Vinton, the House resolved itseif into a Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union—Mr. J R. Inger- soll ja the chair—and resumed the consideration of the Yesolutions heretofore submitted, to refer the various Dranches of the President's annual meesage to the ap- propriate committees. We were unexpectedly called from our seat for half an hour, and when we returned ‘we found— Mr. McCuearanp, of lilinois, addressing the commit- tee, and vindicating Mr. Polk from the attacks made upon him for his veto for the River and Harbor Bill. If the rystem of intersal improvements hed continued, it ‘would have taken millions upon millions from the Trea- fury, created @ great public debt. and Jed fo the esta- bi nt Of & national bank. le expressed his regret the price of the Jast session of been to strengthen the liberties of the country, by increasing the area of agricultural labor and independeace. it was, however, recommended vy @ democratic President. ‘The country ‘was relieved from an onerous and oppressive tariff—that of 1843—which was in operation when Mr. Polk came into the Presidency. There were five hundred thousand manufacturers, who, supported by wealth, influence, and association. contended for 150 per cent interest per annum on their capital; that amount to be derived from the inductry of four millions of sgriculturiste, &o But justice finally triumphed, and the revenue act of 1546 was passed. ‘The new tariff law hed been twelve months in operatio: At the end of De- eember, 1847, under this law, the receipts were $31,600,000, beimg $4,528596 more than in the twelve months preceding, under the tariff act of 1842. The last measure in the series of democratic triumphs is the consti utional treasur, Not @ dollar has been lost by it, nor injary inflicted on the commerce or the country. Loox, too, at the brilliamt victories in Mexico, not sur- passed inanyage. The Precident is the worthy repre- sentative of @ patriotic people. Under the adminiatra- tion of Mr. Polk, which has been so much abused and misrepresented, and against which it appears # con- tinuous attack is to be kept up until it goes out of wer, the democratic power nas advanced uoder the ner of “ free trade, the constitution, free lands, and the mareb of liberty.” The whigs in the House, in May, 1846 voted that Mexico commenced the war, and they Yoted ten millions of dollars and fifty thousand men to carry iton. More recently, they voted tha: the Presi- Gent, and not Mexico, unnecessarily and unconstitu- tlenally commenced the war. We know that Northern Gnd southern gentiemen united and elected a worthy man to the Speakersbip—a men who, when the Oregoo territorial bill was under consideration, offered the Wil- mot proviso as an amendment, and he should, therefore, de beld respons IUGATION OF MEXICO. 0 that the veto power was ive He looked upon it as t of the Executive. It tution gives to the Presi- dent, which is equivalent to one-sixth of the House of Representatives and the Senate, beoause one-sixth, added tos bare majority, would overrule the President. It required great moral firmness in the President to do what ne did, because, by vetoing the harbor bill he came in confiict with distinguished men of his own od one of the most popular administrations pre- that now in power. Nothing but a feeling of Bonescy sod @ solemn conviction of duty, led him to Go #0, Out it was his (Mr Stanton’s) misfor une to differ from bim, and be stated the pointe of difference be. tween ‘ne Presidsut and bimeeif. Mr. Calnoun placed a tormruction differeut from that of Mr. rok on the Glaure, “co reguiate commerce,” and he thought that the argument of the former was unauswersbie Can Wo not ne easily remove w rock in a river, as to erect » light house to warn the mariner against 1!

One half of the stock trans- ferred for this object is payable im 1850, and the other haif in 1866 It yields an annual interest of $6,000 until 1860, and three thousand thereafter until 1856 ; and this sum may be increased, unless the condition of the lccks requires the expenditure of the interest as it accrues, whioh is probable. The balaxce belonging to the Black River canal, ($96,036 18) is appropriated to the construction of that work. The sum of $2,000 due from the Lewis County Bank, and appropriated to this oanal, has been realized by the foreclosure of a mortgegetaken an collateral security.

One of the items appropristed to this object, consisted of adebt due tothe Caval Fundfrom the Wayne County Bank.

It was well known from the statements presented to the Convention thatthe amount of the canal Sinking Fund would be insufficient to pay the principal of the debts falling due in 1843 and 1849; and there is no deficit in the revenue set apart for the Payment of the debt, although the sum provided is not sufficient for the purpose. Anticipating this deficiency, the fiith section provides for using the credit of the fund, in order to procure means for satisfying the claims of the public creditors. The fifth section of article seven of the Constitution, which makes ad-quate provision for sustaining the good fuith of the State, by taxation, if the funds set apart from the canal revenues prove insuffi- cient, is as follows “ If the sinking funds, or elther of them, provided in this article, al prove insufficient to enable the State, on the credit of such fand, to procure t! tisfy the claims of the creditors of the State. ey b come payable, the legistature shall, by equitable taxes, so increase the revenues of the said funda, as to make them respectively suMoient perfectly to preserve the | public faith, Ev 7A contribution or advance to th om any source other than th reot revenues, shall, with quarterly interest, at the rates then current, be repaid into the treasury, for the use of the State, out of the canal revenues, as s00n as it can be yt. | This section contemplates the use of the credit ef the | sinking fund, before resorting to taxation, to sustain the | credit of the State, and satisfy the claims of creditors — In alluding to the necessity of deferring the payment of portions of the debt, from the insufficiency of the sums set apart for that object, the chairman of the committee on finance, said “ The intere computed is according to | the rates fixed on the stocks, and yught down to the | time the stocks are respectively payable. In all the ta- | bles the debt is supposed to be paid as soon as it becomes payabie, without any ex'ention beyond that period. If, in the actual progress of the debt, it should become ue- cessary to extend the period for the payment of any part of it, new interest, which I will oall extra interest, on such extension, must be caloulated. Almost any yearly sum that our revenues will permit us to devote to the payment of this debt, will leave some portions of it to be extended and delayed, with consequent additional or ex- tra interest for the extension. Tu the last annual report of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund, (page 10,) calculations are given, showing the deficiencies in the eon) fund for each year, and the amount of interest payable in each year on those de- | ficiencies. ‘The aggregate amount of interest which must be paid for postponing prinsipal, for the whole pe- "eth pitelon oe the ditt phiculd be: 4 beyond thi ‘© portion of the debt should be poetponed beyond the period when the Sinking Fund will ec gland for the reimbursement of the stock.

Since 1836, one hundred and thirty-six miles have been added to the navigable canals, which addition furnishes barely revenue enough to pay for repairs. While the average tonnage of all the canals for the last eix years exceeds the average of the preceding six years by 520,775 tons for each year, and the tolls for the same period show an average increase of $800,661,033 per yesr, the increase for cost of repairs, collection of tolle, and all expenses incident to the main- tenance of the canals, has increased on the average only $89,816 for each of the last six years, compared with the the proportioi nd & m of penditur ix years. Notwithstanding the great increase ‘terial reduction in the rates of toll, to tolls has diminished, from an average of 35 per cent from 1836 to 1841, to 27 per cent from 1842 to 1847 Revvuction in THE Rates or Tow. When portions of the Erie and C! plain canals were finished and in a condition for navigation, rates of toll were fixed by the Canal Commisaioners,and officers were appointed by them to collect the tolls and superintend the repairs of the finished portions of the canals. The constitution of 1921, (§ 10, Art 7,) ordained that “rates of toll, not less than those agreed to by the Canal missioners, and set forth in Com. heir report to the Legisia- ture on the 12th of March, 1821, shail be imposed upon and collected from all parts of the navigable communi- cations between th and the Atlantic ocean, which now or hei And the revenues derived from mad ‘and completed ” at the rates thus established, were pledged great western and northern lakes reafter shall be “to the toll completion of such navigable communications,” and to the payment of money borrowed for that object. The tariff of tells which was adopted as the minimum by the constitution, rated merchandise at two cents per gross ton per mile, and agricultural products gene- rally and non-enumerated articles at one cemt per ton per mile. In 1822, the Canal Commissioners increased the 1ates on merchandise to three cents per ton, and on agricultural products to one and a half cents per ton per propert; About th The mileage on boats for the transportation of was doubled Tho rates of toll appear to be @ same in the list published by the nal Com- missioners in March, 1826, except that non-enumerated articles going from tide water are increased from one cent to three cents per ton per mile. In Apri 1826, an act was passed which provided for the establishment of 8 Canal Board, “ to consist of the ding March. tinued in the collectors of tolls.” inal board was first organised in April, 1826, and |, substantially the tariff of tolis which had been agreed upon by the Canal Commissioners in th wer to fix the rates of toll has con- Board from its first organization, | Row more than twenty years. For the firs after the board was organized, reduction specific articles, on the representations The Can and the Commissioners the Ca- as given “ to re- , and to ap- rested in the production or transportation of those ar- ticles; but th ere Was nO meral revision of the teriff of tolls and reduction of the rates, until 1883. The com- pletion ofthe on the Ohio river, in the year wi general reduction in March, 1833, in the rates Ohio canal from Cle land to Portsmouth, followed by a toll on agricultural products, equal to 2834 per cent; and on merchandise of 14 pi cent. Instead of e falling off in “praeeoy”| of this reduction in the rates, the tolls of 1 xceeded those of 1832, about $275,000. In the year 1833, the Canal Board hada conference with the Canal Commissioners of Ohio, and it was agreed that duction of 25 per cent of the tollson merocban- dise should be made, to take effect at the opening of the New York and Ohio canals in 1834. This arrangement was carried into effect. There wasa considerable fall ing off in the tolls for the navigation season of 1834, compared with that of 1833; yet if the two yesrs oi 1833 and 1834, under the influence of a reduction equal to an average of 3534 per cent, be compared with the tolls for 1831 and 1832 at the old rates, it will be seen that toere is an increase for the two yearsafter the rates were reduced, of $332,280 50. Before the second reduction was made on merchandise, | it was escertained that goods in small quantities went through the Erie canal, destined to St. Louis, Missouri, Florence and Huntsville, Alabama, and Nashville, Ten- nesses.
