FROM WASHINGTON

We have private accounts of Saturdays Proceed
ings in the III. of R.-Mr. Burgess had delivered a
UocerouS argument in favor of the Protective System.
Other gentlemen followed on the general merits of
the measure-and among them Mr.. Bouldin of Vir-
ginia, who had scathed the abomiuable system
through and through. Ills two Speeches against it
are said TO have been mastery efforis.-After the
general discussion, the Committee proceeded TO act
aud TO rote. A vote was taken the duty on Uoot
which was carried against the Ultra Td,iGtes by
majority of One.-The discussion then came on
upon the duty WooltenS laying on duty of 80 per
cent on the market price, &c. in lieu of the minimum
which is proposed to be abolished. The folly and
the fraud of this substitute was exposed by
several members-and in the strongest terms by
Mr.. Cambreleng, &c.-They commended that such
provision would amount TO absolute prohibition.
Messrs Stewart, Adams, sc. denied the consc-
quences which had been attributed to the plan by
the other sde-and we are sorry to learn that in
the of the debate Mr.. Adams cut no very en-
viable figure. The House until 9 o'clock on Sa-
turday night, without taking the question.
Yesterday, the question to come on as 10 the
indefinite postponement of the Bank Bill-It is the
opinion of some gentlemen, that an effort will be
made to pass the Bank Bill through before the Tariff,
and then 10 give the Tariff the go-by.-Mr. Nc Duf-
fe, land it is TO be hoped other friends of the Bank
Supposed to this courseand very properly gives the
Tariff the precedence the Bank.
The Tariffites, who are disposed To break up the
session, and leave the question unsettled, are not
aware of the mischiefs-which they are about to
excitement unparalleled in this country, and it will
expose the Union itself to dangers which we trem-
BILE to anticipate. We have taken the pains TO in
vesgate the state of the public mind in $. Carolina
We have conversed with enlightened gentlemen
of the Union Party-and the result of the whole is
deep and gloomy sense of the mischiefs which
may ensue.*-We are no Nullifiers-We arc ms ar
dent friends of the Union of these States as any man
hreathing-but we cannot shut our eyes to the con-
sequences which may ensue from precipitatc adj
Journment of Congress- or from the failure TO settle
this question on liberal principles. We most de-
voutly hope, that time will be fixed on for the
adjournment; and that no such proposition will be
entertained, until ecey erpeen for liberal compro-
nttSe has been eXhaused-n vain
