 As the summer elections over, and the party character of most of the States has been pretty dis tncily defined, it may not be amiss to pause for a season and take calm and dispassonae survey of our public aaans. Tine democratic party is now in the ascendant in ajorty of the States, and at

 the meeting of the next Congress in December, whig domination in the U. s. Senate will have passed away. Both branches of the F edera Lee isiature in the hands of the democracy, and the fact can not be loo strongly impressed upon it that the respon sibilily of mea involving inconsderable

 tent the veal or woe of the country fairly the party in power, That this responsibility W i'll be met

 in a spirit of enlightened patriotism admits of question with us, and look with unhesitating

 idence for the adoption of measures that will up- hold the honor and interests of the county, and ad- vance the cause of lpopuar liberty.

 It must be apparent however that the time for ac

 lion has coae. Questions of the gravest import,

 both in our foreign and domestic policy are pressing

 upon the attention of the government and people,

 and they must be and disposed of in spirit of

 iustice and with frmness of purpose that will not be misunderstood at home or abroad Twenty mil

 lions of people, in such magnificent country

 ours, where snch an object European pauper is not to be found-where all may have food and raj who will labor for it, have occasion to take counsel of their fears in their foreign policy. If they w,li be just to themselves and one another, shar- ing equally in the burdens we'll the prosperity and glory of the country, they may well announce to the world that while they demand nothing but what ,.,wl d..

 Our difficulties with Mexico ! judgement, present free from embarrassment. If that im- beetle government proceeds the insane extremity of making upon us, that must be met by prompt, vigorous and decisive effort. There must be no dalying blow must be struck that will de- monstrate both the power and the determination to punish aggression, and to dictate peace. Such a course IS indicated by humanity well policy, and the whole country will sustain It. The energy of the administration has been admirably displayed in concentrating an adequate naval and military force the threatened of action; and al- though the power of the Executive limited to de- fensive operations, he will be in readiness to act offensTely when the appropriate moment shall ar rive.

 The Oregon question is one of the gravest import Our earnest hope is that it may be settled by nego tiation; hut should that resource fail, and Great Britain persist in her claim 10 the right bank of the Columbia, it is difficult to conceive how collision with that power is to be avoided. Alter a our best security against such contingency is in our cotton bales. By the annexation of Texas we have mono- poised to some extent the cotton growing regions of the world, and the danger the immense manu- facturIng establishments of Great Britain from any curtailment supplies of our great staple, will ex- ercise an influence on her graspng policy and nlod- fy to extent her lust of dominion. The vast n- teress that would be inevitably sacrificed in hos tile conflict between the two nations, however it might terminate. should inspire concstory coun- cls and If these earnestly sought and honestly entertained, surely is too much say that the question may be arranged terms honorable to both ihe coniending parties.

 These the two questions connected with our foreign relations, that in importance, and will gage the earnest attention of the next congress.

 Among ihe questions of domestic nature that re- quires the prompt action of congress, the tariff stands pIe-emnent. The consideration and adjust- ment of this vexed question can longer be post poned. It must be met the spirit of justice and

 

 dens of taxation as equally may be among the rous interests of the country, and with impartial hand, exemptng none, and protecting none at the pense of any other. Win majority in both hous- es of congress the democratic party will be called on to redeem It's pledges, and tariff of duties graduat ed by the necessities of the government, and adjust ed by the revenue standard must be es,ablished.- The monstroas n,quiiIes of the tariff of ls42 must be bloted ou-the free list must be curlaied-dutes o 10, 90, 100 and 150 per must be abolished and n reasonable revenue duty substituted.

 On this question there must be no fatering. Our friends, north well south, brace themselves to the conflict, and the just expectations of the country. We have the best reason to feel as- sured that the President and his Cabinet will bend every effort 10 the accomplishment of the object; and should it fa the responsibility will rest upon those members of Congress who will misrepresent l the true interests of the people.

 We will close this basty view of the subjects that will be presented to the consideration of Congress, by reference to the necessity that exists for an immediate restoration of the principles of ihe Inse pendent Treasury. A large portion of the public | treasure is cou6ded to the custody of Banks and | Brokers and although the Secretary of the Treasury has succeeded in obtaining security for these de. | posits to "a considerable extent-hs legal powers are wholly inadequate to the object of providing ef lse'usiy lsr the Ipis keeping of the pubic funds.
