The Acr1os OF CoscREss-THE TARIFF, SUB
TREASURY, &c.-War with Mexico is now posi-
tive and certain--a war which may last many
years. at an enormous cost. This event will exer-
cise most important influence upon all our TO
rcign, but especially on our domestic policy, for
long time 10 come. We alude specially to the
tariff and the sub-treasury, as well as to all those
other measures growing out Of the reduction Of
expenditures.


This war will call for an increased expenditure
In all directions, and for accumulated energy in
all quarters. We may, therefore, ut once settle
down content upon this question of war, and
leave the others exactly where they now stand.
The tariff cannot be touched for the purpose Of
reduction ii must rather be increased. The SUBJ
treasury win be heard of no more. An admins
trative reforms contemplated, in relation to the
army and navy, must now be laid upon the shelf,
for good and all. Another very important ques-

all hazards, all the materials which shall. be me-
ccssary to accomplish this purpose. The greatest
sticklers for q reduction of the tariff have been
tho South but as this war with Mexico springs

war.


This arrangement will satisfy both tho North as
well a. the South, and thus the war with Mexico
win be less detrimental to commercial interests, as
between this country and Europe, than has been
apprehended. Under this view Of events, not
withstanding the vscillating policy which has
brought US into this state Of things it is probable
that this war will be wagsd with good deal Of
popularity by the present administration.
