C., and Mr. D'x introduced a bill establishing one at New York. It appears thatt there has been an addi ional call for troops from .Iouisiana, as well as from Pennsylvania, *ithin the last day or. two. Perhaps calls have been made uponi other States. It is the .object dithe Government, to substitute the vol unteers enlisted for the ,war, for six and twelve months men. December 18 There is some news of high import-here. It seems that the Governmeut, distrustful of Santa Anna. and of .any promises of peace from Mexico and its agents, are making veryimmple preparations for carry inig on the war, and for carrying it to the city of Mexico. I learn from private, but undoubted sources. that the Go-ierniment is about to call for ten regimeutsof volut teers. to serve during the war. This does ;ot look like peace, or an oxectatitn of peace. The Senate was not in session to-day, Mr. Calhunu's viee aire, often rnade the subject of re:arl. Mr. Calhoun is ing,-assome of his friends assure tie for :friber develimentlts. The Senate did not sit io day. The House, accu;diug'o a standing rule, took privete tills. But soire very important iills were rep.rted or introduced. Mr. Bay. roto the. Committee on Military Affairs, reported a hill to increase the pay di nrn.cotissioped officers add privates of tho volnteers and regular ; rmy.., The bil-prnposes ts'grant ..hem, two dollars a ntmrhi addliional pag, comiencing with the war, and to give them or their families a bounty of 160 acres of land. But Con gress, sensible of the propriety of doing jus tiha to these men, will not stop here. They will go on, and make ad ample provision for the widows, and orphans of those who iay be killed In battle, or die in tlt ser. vice. The present laws afford an ample provision for the former class, dud hobo for the latter. Another very. impoitni bill wtas intro dnced by'Mr. Mnartin, a delegatc from the Territory,srion to be the State of.Wiskon sa:n-fur so Judge Doty, the former dele gate from that State, insisted that the Ulerks of the House. and the men of the press should write it-p.roviding for the etablishmrrent of a new Territory north of ::: limitsof that State. This new Terri u ry, it. has beenforseen, will soon, it is true, knock at ~our door and demand ad mi-sicn into the Union. The name of it. atrange to our ears, I cannot now rememn ber, merely lhearitng it pronounced by the Clerk of the Houe-hut tn less than ten years it will rave in Congress two Setna tors, and go on to.increase its number of ,d~epresentatiies till, perftaps, it upiy over h~io manyt of the original thirteen in power -and influence.

His friends in the South, beyond 'question, will urge him, as the candidate of the Wbig party for the next Presidency. The Noth aid West will press John M'Lane. It is sbpposed that his abolition wife will unite all the Abolitionists in the Union With- the Whig par'y in the election, and then the Methodists, supporting him, on accotint of his being on hat persiuasion will secure him the election.

This project will now probably fail; but there is little doubt of their determination to have the whole system of Internal Im provement fastened on the government. They look on the policy of your great Statesman as most fatal to their schemes, The whole Internal Improvement party will go against it, and I do not think it can be carried out at.this Session of Co agress. The North is determined to hold the West to this system generally;: or to give them nothing. This certainly is their policy, From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce. THE REVENUE. Every body understands that otr nation al expenditure is r.ow at a rate conside rably greaer than our income. How the deficiency shall be is a questidn of much though not of anxious interest. The coun try has becorrie rich, and a career is open bef.,re us of unexampled prosperity. We catn have no dilliculry, therefore, in raising :nezty enough.-The only question is, how our light taxation can be most judi eiotsly levied. It cannot be by a reso'rt to the protective system again. The sys tem, ann all protection is to prevent or check importations. The rate of duties on such articles as are grown or made in this <ountry, is by the Tariff of '46 too high for revenue. Woollens and cottons ,would probably produce more re--edue at a much reduced 'ate.-More than this, our experience thus far, 'has demonstrated that we are to he a great manufacituing people-that Tariff, or nd Tariff, we are to supply ourselves chiefly with auanufac tured goods, and that to erect a revenue system of high duties on manufactnred goods, or any goods such as are produced w;thin the country, would be to make an ephemeral system, which wtild df netts sity soon jierish.-Protection woild hai-e been impossible much lohgbt if it had not lieen repealed. In fac if it had ceased. as well as revenue, on 7great proportion of the protected articles. 'This process is still going on. One article after another, -very article in fact, so s~oon as A meri cans have acquired skill in its fabrication, -eases to bie imported. A reventue sys tem thereforeg made up of duties on sutch articles, is constantly t'rtmliugij down. We think we may say with perfect cornli deuce, that the is against the'Tariff of '42, ,and decidedly in favor of that of 4a, ad to its getneral principles. We heer the tman ufacturers on all sides say that the TaritT' ol'46 aflirds a sufficient protection, and they hope it will not be ahoered. The Detmocratic party have taken their s-tand upoo it; and cantnot retract. Their tanks tilay be thintied sotmewvhat by the protectionists amoog (hem going over to the Whigs, but on free frade and the tariff of '4i, the fhemoeratic party aflost conqjuer or die.--We'have always said, and say so still, that the perty which- distinetly evow9 the doctrines of free trade, must carry the country and the world. Before .Mr. Polk's term of oficee expires, to oppose the tariff of '4',' will he as useless as to 6'ppObe the a'anexation of Texas or Louis iana. B'ut iTibis' were tnot so the party must stand by their ffag no'w trofurled, and' if they do, both the President and' Se oat', if not the House, will be itmpregna ble binfriers against mtr lia'dl( tack in pto. litical econonf. B'ut' there is a wide field for revenue in articles not produced at home. Many articles of this clas, spces, dIrugs, &c. might well have a much hea vier duty imposed upon them. Nothing is more econtomical than the imposition of heavy duties on goods, the supply of which is altogether foreign. The duty collected on spices all goes itnto the trea sury. Al that the people pay they pay to the government; while the duty on iron serves to enhan'ce the pried of thle home production as much as the foreignt and as the former is too times greater than the lat rer, only, one dollar of every ten which the people pay. goes to the g'overntmeai. The other nine dollars go io' the poeckets of the 'domenusic iron makers. Then' ruere 'Ore tea and -coffee,- whiclr are free; and rupon' which a large revenue might be rais edieasily and-fairly. Somieptrrs of the coniy use more coffee, and others more tea; but every wh'eeone or the other is ~used, strthattupon the 'whole, a'tax o pon both, wottld be ,fair aud erjusi over the wihole dountry. 'But there is rio a'eneasity'or propriety in attempting to raise this year all the ex tra ordinary expenses cf the 'Mexican war. It would not distress the-yeople in their pre sent condition of prosperity to pay the whole.- The cliief miscliief would be int -the-establishrbent'of' a rdvende'stetri fot a year.

The news is really of stirring, tho'ugh we think, passing interest. Europie is in a fermnent about the extiiitti or the tfat glimer or Polish nationality. ' The Repub lic of Cracow is "anreixd" to Austria. Thfat fagacious potrer seized the happy triofnent vehen Fiance and England were at bitter retid abeot the Spanaisir Mar ringe, to take asteps iin E-ngtrid and France were morally botund to un'its itn resisting.
