temper OF the House. This all-absOrbng subject, the
Tariff To battle all calculation The speakers and
the well private letters give decisive nor
nation of the result We view the whole scene with
thrilling nterest-but the den0uement is still in sus-
pense We presume that our next paper will contain
something decisive of the fate of the Bill Among the
speeches that were delivered Monday, Mr. Davis

our own houses as many could for ourselves-and
one or two factories were proposed TO be established
