The House of Representatives have, after one week's incessant attention to the subject, got through the discussion of the report of the committee of Ways and Means on the additional taxes. The resolutions which have passed are referred to the same committee to report bills accordingly; and, when these bills are reported, the subject will be again open to discussion. There is no doubt, we believe, but bills will pass in conformity to all the resolutions agreed on; unless it be that embracing a National Bank—respecting which some entertain doubt, though we do not. Such an institution is so obviously necessary, and so demonstrably desirable, that we do not see how any man, unless on constitutional principles, can feel a doubt as to its expediency, though the minor details of it should not exactly square with his ideas on the subject.
