The bill for revision of the Tariff Of Duties on
Imports has, at length, passed both Houses Of Con
gress Upon the pa age of this act we have little
room for comment. 1t is not the bill originally re
ported its very nature being essentially changed by
the amendments which, in its progress to maturity,
il has undergone in both Houses, and particularly
in the Senate. As it now stands. it has some good
features, and few objectionable ones. 1t augments
the dues many articles, but not to such amount
as to make them prohibtory or oppressive in their
operation. The objection to The principle of the
bill in The Southern country and in some of the
commercial districts, will still have their original
force but those which are founded on apprehen-
sons of practical operation will not, we Think be
realized
As the duties not so far increased as to amount
TO prohibition, the effect of the bill will be- after
this year. to add to the revenue amount, various
" stated, of from one to four millions of dollars
We do not much want the revenue, but, by this
addition, the government will be able SO much
more rapidly to reduce the national debt, and thus
to prepare the nation moe firmly to bear up against
adverse circumstances, should it have again to en-
counter them, as it has done heretofore.
BY the passage of this act, we shall be greatly
disappointed if one important good has not been &C
emphasized, viz, the satisfying the petitions and
wishes Of large portion Of fellow citizens, who
have been induced, by reasoning which we never
could follow, to believe that such measure as the
adoption of new Tariff was inseparaby connected
with our national independence. II may be fairly
presumed, now, that the Tariff is settled for many
years. and isl subject of congratulations that be
ing settled, the revision has approached so nearly
to the beau ideal "judicious'' one.

AT a public adjourned meeting in
Georgia, held on me third day of July
last, at the first ofwhich Joel Crawford,
Esq. relation Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, presided, an address and reso-
iutions were adopted, making loud and
strong complaints against certain mea-
sures adopted by the general govern
ment, with view to promote the inte-
rest Of the people, aud more firmly to
bind the states together.
With the characteristic hostility Of the
friends of Mr.. Crawford to every mea.
sure not directlypromoting their interest,
the Georgia meeting comes out against
the Western people in the following
manner:
