He never dreamed, at any tims, that anyody ever thought his object wasto take the whole of Mexico We cever heard, till this session, that the President bed. or could have, any such scheme ia view. I admit that. from the course things are taking, from the opposition of the whigs in this country to the war, the public mind is rapidly tending that way; and this is one reagon wiy the President desires to secure a soeedy peace, The Senator from Tennessee desires to drive us,it would appear, to the issue of calling the army home by the cheapest way and the ehortest route, or of taking the whole of Mexico. He has made this issue. We have not made it. We take the issue of a prosecu. tion of the war for indemnities and securities. But, sir, the Senator from Tennessee is on able man; | found that long ago. Mr Beti—I do not take that as a compliment. Mr. Sevien—Weill, then, sir, I will take it back; (Laughter), but | will say, that from his great talents and influence in Tennessee, he has produced a revolu- tion in that State, sir, and he comes here witha reputa- tion for his powers of mind, which led us to expect some- thing of what we know now by experience. Now, sir, he would make an issue for us of the whole of Mexico, or the line of the Rio Grande orthe Nueces. It is his own 4 We have nothing to do with it. But if we are n to this issue, whether we jake an inglorious retreat from Mexico, or go on, whatever may be the con- sequences, then, sir, shall sty go on. I shall say that, sir, Although, against the conquest of Mexico, or against i ore than & reasonable cession of territory, if the is presented of leaving the country without peace, or of marching on to the occupation of the whole of it, then | will say, march on, let the results be what they may. The obstacles to the annexation of Moxico were not, after all, the dreadful things they had been repressnt- ed tobe. Mr. 8 went on to speak of the different races in Mexico, alluded to by Mr Bell, and esid he saw no such disasters attending the diffloulties of the color It was true there were some four or five millions of Indians there; and be remembered that the Hon. gentleman from Tennesseo, himeelf, when at the head of the Com- malttee on Indian Affairs, had recommended s policy which had been followed ever since by our goverument, that of sending them off to the west of the Mississippi Why could not the same policy be pursued with the In- dians in Mexico? We had no trouble with them bere, and we could not have of there. The gentleman Tennessee had decor! ® portion of the prople of Mexico having descended from the Visizoths, and some other person, whose name he did not remember, who never winced, who never sighed under a blow, and who could endure all kinds of tortures without making awry face Well, Mr. President, said Mr. S., that isin wy ‘pinion very good poetry. But they have been con- quered three or four times a yeat; they never show any | of this endurance at present, and he thought we need | fear nothing from them The Senator from Tennessee had said tnst this war was like that of Cortez, carried on for gold and glory. | ‘Mr. Bert disclaimed having made any such state- | ment. oe Sevier said this gold and glory had been flung in, r some cause which he did not understand. If it was not intended to be alleged that this war was for some euch cause, why was it iutroduced ? Mr Brut hoped the Senator would excuse him for interrupting him, but he had said nothing as to the object of this war being for gold and glory. But hadeaid that, between the commencement of the war and the present time, perhaps some motive may have crept in which we did mot know of exac'ly, and i which might govern others in voting for a further prose- cution of the war. | Mr. Sevicn said, well, sir, why did he eay that gold and glory was the cause of the war of Corter, ifbe did not meau the same was the cause for s far- unholy ends and purposes which hi Cortez and his companions. If the 8 ys the party here, or the administration, or its nessee friends upon this floor, who vote for this bill and for a farther prosecution of this war, are george eke cd which he such desire of gold and gi cannot sustain, and whic! ation are guiltless of such motives; the act of ‘T'rist, | act of Slidell, the acts of our Generals in Mexico, | have been toshow that such are not the sentiments of y iministration. He then commented upon the chi made in the mode of coilecti the duties in Mexico, by the suggestion of Gen. Scot! | and replied briefly to Mr. Bell upon this point. | ‘The Sepa‘or from Tennessee, continued Mr. Sevier, al we know | enator has also alluded to pat ; he, as well as any one else who hes ever been in power, knows that those who have patronag+ would rather not | bave 8 referred to the time when the Senator | frem Teunessee was Secretary of Wer. avd his triend | from North Carolina, (Mr. Bedger,) who wat Cabinet st thestime as Secretary of the (Mr. 8.) used to call upon them upon business, but was wholly unable to transact any in consequeace of the numbers of office-seekers. Did the gentleman from | Tennessee not ferl then that he would have been glad to escape the patronage that he then had? This ery of patronage was the oldest, the most popular, and with the | least in it; it had been in full use when he came here, { and was, he believed, two or three centuriesago. He | saw no dangers from the patronage of twenty-four go- vernors, as many judges, attornies, secretaries and mar- thais. He, if atl Mexico became part of this Union, saw no difficulties with her people. We could naturalize them, admit them to vote, or mske such disposition of them as we should deem proper. There w ssa destiny of the whig party, however, to oppose any extension of territory; aud yet anether destiny is their refasivg to vote suppiies in ‘time of war for the support of the army of the nation. — Upon this point, Mr. 5. dwelt at much length, and urged thet the Senator from Tennessee, had said that he would not votes dollar, nor reinforcemen's cf any kind for the army now in Mexico.

Smitn, of Iadians, said that the House had solemnly decided that the war was unnecessarily and un- constitutionally commenced tA the President of the United States; and it was for Congress to devise som means by which the evil shall bs arrested, and the war brought to a close. Much had been said about,its orizin. end ites pri but he desired to call attention to the Gnanciel condition of the country. We have now be- fore us, he said, a bill to add eighteen millions and a half to the public debt, and it becomes us to enquire bow far that debt shall be increased. What isthe amount ofthe debt? it has been seid that the whigs favor a national debt, but, as for himself he regarded a ational debt as an evil of the greatest magni the commencement of the session, the debt was $45,650,- v00, The [resident has recommended loans to che mount of $39,000,000, which is for the prosecution of the war until the 30th of Jum 1849. According tothe Secretary of the Treasury 2d the President, the public debt om the 20th of Jane, will bs $64659,000. ‘This is enough to set the peo- ple to reflect. The President, at the last sension, sald that a loan of $23,000.00 would be amply sufficient until the 30th ef June, 1443, and thet that was al that would be nec , after retaining four millions in the Trea- sury. We have not reached the 30th of June, at this session, the President tells us that an sinount of $18,500,000 are required to contin ap tothat od! Now he says it is n to kee but two millions in the treasury. ‘The estimates short $20,000 No reliance cau laced on the esti- mates of the Treasury Depart ‘his debt is based on the assumption that all the revenuo for whieh an er- is made will be received. But there is no reliance . Ui of the Treasury made year 6 39th of June, 1847, but the documents show a deficiency of $1,983,940 in the reosipts And how is it with the expenditures? They were estimated at $55,224 000, but the report shows they were , 69,451,000. ‘I'he estimates of the receipts and ex- penditures, by the Secretary of the Treasury, were erro- geous to the amount of nearly $10 000,000. Is it not. therefore, fair to presums that the estimates are as erro- aeous now as they were in 1847? If they are. we shall be called to add $18 397,000 te the amount already asked for. The debt will be $103 570471, (larger than the debt created Bos ‘war with Great Britain.) if the war shall be continued three years In the annus! report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it was tla. that eighteen millions a a half will be we were informed 00.000 would be required Ia ti had the reportjbeen printed, before that the estimates were erroneous, $16,000, the department, of $7,000,000.

Mr. Viwrow arose, and said, it was not his intention to have taken part in the afew words with reference to the amendment of the gen- tleman from Pennsylvanis, instructing the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of re- porting « bill for the assessment of direct taxes The gentleman trom North Carolins said, that if the war was not brought fly to a close, he would be in favor of appealing diceotly to the Mr. Vinton wished to know whether he meant to resort to direct taxes. Mr. McKay said he would, at the proper time. Mr. Vixron replied, that an appeal to the pockets of the people was language unknown to the constitution. He noticed that direct taxation was becoming popu- lar among democrats He had heard the doctrine, dur- ing the last Congress. thrown out, te the gentleman from South Carolina. rose for the pur- pose of saying, thet he should never vote for direct taxes while there are any other means left by which the reve- nue can be re} hed.

Then sil of our ports were blockaded by the British, as Mexico is by our Bavy. There was nothing elee te resort to. Mr Viaton showed the operation of direct taxation,and invited gentlemen to review the former revenue system of this country. and at the same time protect ths labor and the capital of the country. He moved the previous question, which was seconded.

Batrimorg, Feb. 5, 1847. Messrs. Johnson and Brent--The Correspondence —Brent, the last Diplomatist—Launch--Com- merce of Baltimore, §c. Messrs. Reverdy Johnson and Robert J. Brent appear in print this morning, with the corres- pondence that passed between them prior to the settlement of their recent difficulties. The cor- respondence may be briefly summed up as fol- lows:— Mr, Johnson to Mr. Brent —Sir,—You called mo & liar in Court, aad I respectfully request a retraction Mr Brent to Mr Johnson—sir,—You charged me in open Court with s violation of the courtesies of the bar, and not only refused to retract, but reasserted it, which called forth the accusation of falsehood from me. |, cannot retrect. Mr Johnson to Mr Brent—Bofore | oan enter into an ex of the langusge used by me, you must with- draw the word falsehood. ‘Mr John.en—As you seem disposed to cable adjustment of the matter may result from a temporary withdrawal of the langaage used by me—please consider it temporarily withdrawn. Mr. Johnson to Mr. Brent.—Dear Sir—I was angry. and you were 1 esid what 1 didn’t mean, and you said what you ‘ata mean, &. Hoping that this lucid explanation will be deemed satisfactory, ko Mr. Brent to Mr. Johnson—It gives me great plea- sure to say that your explanation is entirely satisfactory, and my offensive ye is freely withdrawn. ‘Mr, Johnvon to Mr. Brent—Your last note ends our correspondence, and leaves us where our misunder- stan fing found us—feiends. Quite Pickwickian, isn’t it! Mr. Johnson has been peculiarly uatortusate of late. Mr. Pearce, his modest and retiring colleague in the Senate, has suddenly overtopped him in the estimation of his whig friends, as a statesman; and Mr. Brent, a young and talented member of the bar, has evinced in the correspondence between them, diplomatic powers of a superior order, so that our pe esenaaned Senator is getting worsted all round. The Andalusia, a splendid ship of about 800 tons burthen, built for Messrs. Wilson & Son, by Messrs. Cooper & Abrams, will be launched from their ship yard this morning at 10 o’clock. There are at present 84 vessels at our wharves, exclusive of steamers and biy craft. Of these, 16 are ships, 12 barks, 23 brigs, and 33 schooners. Patavevrnia, Feb. 4. Fire Rioter Convicted—The Maiming Case— Horses Burnt, §c. The jury inthe case ot James Stevenson, tried on Wednesday last, for a participation in a re- cent conflict between the Fairmount and Good Will fire companies, this morning returned a verdict of guilty, after having been in delibera- ‘ion two days. His counsel made the most of a bad cause, and but for the circumstance that he was arrested with his hand raised, and a stone in it, and a store of the same kind of ammunition in his pocketa, he would have been cleared. The imgenious course pursued by his counsel greatly perplexed the jury, as is evidenced by the long time taken in making up their verdict. Judge Parsons settled the Rushworth case this morning, the defendant in which, your read- ers will recollect, was charged with assault and battery, having, during a fight with Patrick Ma- guire, bit off a portion of his tongue in an eating house in ths Arcade. Maguire was present this morning, and gave his evidence in relation to the fight; his language showed that his injury had not affected his capacity for talking; and some of those who know him best do say that it has improved his delivery, which always was thick and indistinct. The judge took into con- sideration the fact that $5250 had been paid by Rushworth to Maguire as damages for tie in- jury inflicted, but at the sume time he could not permit such an act of brutality to go unnoticed or unpunished by the court. He gave no opinion as to whether the obligations g.ven by Rush- worth forthe payment of a pertind of the sum mentioned above, could be binding, inasmuch as one of the conditionsthit no criminal | suit should be instituted by the commonwealth had failed; but in pronouncing the sentence he would view the whole sum as ; aid, and in con- sequence of that consideration being an evidence of repentance for the brutality committed, he sentenced Rushworth to ;ay a tine of $100, and costs, to suffer an imprisonment for six months, and at the expiration of his sentence to give bonds in $1500 for his future good behavior. Eight houses in Tairteenth, near Poplar street, were burned this morning about five e’clock ; the flames having as usual been kindled by ai incendiary. Six of the buildiags were unoccu- pied, being scarcely completed, and the other two were tenanted by their owners, Mr. Marson, and Mr, Roberts, who had moved in on their completion but a short time since. The fire commenced in one of the untenanted buildings. Movements or Anwy Orricenn — Brig. Gen, Frank. lin Pierce srrived ia the olty yesterd: ety and = up at the Tremont House.
