The President of the United States has cajoled Congress out

of three millions of dollars to carry on the Mexican war. The money is granted in terms so general, that Mr. Polk might spend it in soldiering, in bribing Santa Anna, or in any other way professedly hostile to Mexico. The bill making this liberal grant has been shorn of the " Wilmot proviso" against slavery : there is nothing to prevent slave-trade in any of the newly " annexed" States.
