1ariG.-Tn the Hnnse of Representatives, at
Washington, Mr.. Mal!ary's amendment to the
tariff bill was rejected by vote of 109 to 70.
With the usual industry and about the common
uuantum Of truth, the administration presses are
striving to to make the people believe that the
Adams partizans are the only friends to domestic
manufactures. We have heretofore predicted
that if this bill should receive its quietus, which
we now BEGIN to suspect it will, the mortal stab
will be given by the votes Of Adams men. The
" signs" now displayed, indicate pretty clearly
that our prediction will be verified. In due sea-
son we shall give readers detailed history Of
the progress of this bill, from its entrance to its
exit-at present we wish only to remark that the
votes of the Southern members of congress, were
always expected to be given against any measure
calculated 10 protect manufactures, and the fact
of their being favorable to Adams or Jackson, has
no influence on their votes. because they oppose
the principle altogether. If they could be influ-
enced by the presidential question, such of them
as are Jacksonians would vote for the bill because
