The Telegraph Misrepresentation.

THE tOo BiLS-Notbng can he positively depend
ed upon as TO the fate oflhe Tariff and the Collection
Bills. The Qudnuncs even Mt Washington profess
10 be at sea about them. Some think, that Mr. Yer
piancks bill will succeed-more that il will be de-
ieated. few speculate, that it may be lost but
better one carried in its place.
The Collection bill, fit passes at all, will be very
much modified in its provisions.
Some Observers think that neither bill will pass
during tbe session. We confess we incline to this
latter opinion If the Tariff bill be lost, and S. G.
suspends her Ordinance, then we think the Colec-
ton bill ought at once to be laid on the table, and
all Debate cease upon it,. Indeed, if our mission
succeeds, and the Ordinance be postponed till the
close of the next session Of Congress, ought not
every thing to be restored to the Statum qi,o ante
