men. So they had done frequently for
securing the reduction of the tariff at the
same time That the same gentlemen who
made this charge against them, took the
ground that Mr.. Van Bnren's vote for the
tariff Of 1898, did not make him tariff man,
but that although he so voted, he was an
antl.tarff man. 1t was evident enough
from the tone of gentlemen that this ad
mlnisratlon is going out, and another is
coming in, for it must be in the recollection
of the Senate that the President himself
declared the bill of 1888 compromise, and
that as such, it ought to be respected. lie
expressed his pleasure to hear that the
coming President was about TO pursue
policy against the tariff and in defence of
the southern institutions But while one
priest from the tripod may give this res
ponse but perhaps it the Senator from
Pennsylvania were in his seat another
priest from the tripod might make differ
ent response. But he was sorry to have
medication, while the gentlemen repealed
all vague declarations, and loose abstrac'
tons. He said that the President elect
would be practically opposed TO the Tariff
! Practically opposed None of your vague
distnclions-none ofyour 'judicious Tariff
| No. But the President elect is to be prac-
licalIy opposed to the Tariff. If the gen
tlcnen on the other SIDE are anll-tarlff,
having such large majorI'es in both Hons
es, why did they not abolish the Tariff al
together, Why do they let the poor
suffer, and the rich only are protected?
Mr.. Rives explained that he did not in
tend to say that Mr. Van Buren, is opposed
to a protective policy. He merely wished
20 represent him as opposed to high and
cx,ravagant duties. But when southern
gentlemen, entertaining the belief that a u
duties for protection are unconstitutional !,
vote against repeating the duties, what.
ever the reason they may assign, they could
not complain if they are regarded as tariff
men. The President elect was in favor
of tariff only to the extent required by
the wants Of the government, and in con-
formity with the true interests of the coun-
try.
Nj Preston said every man used the
same language, and therefore this expana.
ton threw no new light on the subject
Mr. DAVIS sgnIfied a wish to make some
remarks IN reply to what had fallen from
gentlemen on the other side, and Indicated
a Willingness to make these remarks
either to night or in the morning, but Il
being half post o'clock, The Senate

The PowER OF THE WEsT.-Mr. Cal
houn has introduced into the United States
Senate proposition to cede the public do
main to the several States in which it lies,
upon certain prescribed conditions as to the
time and manner ofsale, and covenant to
pay into the Federal Treasury, thirty three
and a third per cent. upon all sales.
This proposal was eagerly caught at by
Mr.. Sewer Of Arkansas, but rejected by
Thomas II. Benton. This person enter.
,ains large and important schemes Of ambl
ton. He is aiming at the Presidency and
intends in few years TO grasp the whole
of the National domain and to cxtingush
the tile of the Federal Government, by the
power Of Western vote in Congress-
The old thirteen States will be too weak TO
resist. The following extracts from Ben.
tons speech show the extent of his views ::
1--WE were now within less than three
"years Of the period for taking the new
"census. and after that time the State o.
"Arkansas would enjoy three or four times
"her present weight in the council of the
"nation. By that time we should probably
"have three new States: two on The Mis-
"slssippi, and one on the Gulf of Mexico;
"already in the Unlou would be greatly en-
"Iatged. If the Senator from Arkansas
would but restrain his lmDa,ience until
"hnt period should arrive, The West rouid
"settle his question Of The public lands Just
"as IL pleased They wouu settle this mat,
"ter us they ,couI settle the Presidency -
And the older States must look to them
"fnr both. He was not going to surrend-
"er advantages like these for thirty yeors
$50 come. for the sake Of the proposition
''now advanced. He! He who had in,ro
"duced this measure; he who had origina
tied it.; h. who had fought it up, was not
"going to suffer himself to be forc>iacd
"by airy thirty years bargain. In three
.'years more, they could ,orite their o,sn
"ierms. and iny them on the table ofMe Sen
safe. They ,couid be bill for. and bill deep
sly for, by eucry candidate for The Presidea
seq; and no gentleman, by casting re-
''proaches on him. should cause him, in the
"least degree, to Swerve from his course.
He had ,hus far been able to make HIM
"seIf ineligible to his own people, and he
chopped still to be able to do so and he
"shond retain his position in patience, IN
"tl Missouri. instead OF having two, would
"have fourteen members in the other
