Another agi,aling question was intro
duccd, though incidentally, in the House
yesterdav,-the Tariff. The remarks that
fell from some quarters were very interest.
ing. The discussion arose on motion
to print memorial relative 10 the tariff
ON American manufactures, particularly
that of iron. The printing was obJected
TO, and Mr.. Bidlack, Of Penn, said 1t
was subject of interest which was soon
10 be met, and upon which information
was desirable. Mr.. J.. q. Adams svalled
himself of the opportunity-which ne
never loses-to scatter dssens'on. lie
assailed the Compromise actand declared
that the people would never support It
he appealed to the members representing
free lahorers to oppose it-and ne especi'
ally called upon the republican delegation
from Pennsylvania to press for protective
duties.
Mr.. King, of Geogia, made some inter-
esling remarks in reply to Mr.. Adams
remarking that, in claiming protection ior
free labor, Mr.. A. claimed right 10 TAX
the south for the benefit Of the north.
Mr.. Arnold, of Tennessee, deprecated,
the ferment that this discussion .wouio
create in the House, and ccnsured those
of the whg party who were so ready TO
introduce ag;tating topics here. lie WISH
ed to avoid all those questions when
did not relate to the objects of this ses-
sion. He. spoke Of the opposition pro-
per and said he would like to know where
we Stools whether the friends OF the
administration were in minority here,
or not. If not, there would be n" nse
in prolonsing the session, and he, for onc'
would vote for an immediate adjournment:
Mr.. Irwin, Of Pittsburg, Penn, SAID
the Compromise act was in violation OF
large ma inrty Of the people of the United
States. and was forced upon them by the
mcnaces of a minority. The people OF
the north would be heard on this subject.
IL was his intention 10 move areterence
of these memorials and of so much OF
the Presidents message as rented 10 a
tariff, IL the Committee on Manufactures,
If this reasonable proposition was voted
down, he would submit resolution, as a
test question which could not be. evadei.
Mr.. Rhe,t said the compromise act
would terminate next May, and it was
proper that the country should know what
was to be done. He was of opinion that
the subject ought to have been taken npat
the last session. He was ready to 60 in
to the subject of the adjustment Of the ia:
srbn -,,,por tVac settled. the
better for the South.
No question was taken on the subject,
and the debate was interrupted by mo-
ton to adjourn, in order to enable the
Committee Of WAYS and Means to prepare
some business for the House. The House,
adjourned al very early hour.
Mr.. Pirkens, in his debates, alluded TO
wha: las been called the under current in
The House; and he expressed the hope
hat it would swell into full and success
rul tide. Again, when a resolution was
JfIered in favor Of a constitutional provi-
sion rejecting the eligibility of the Presi-
lent to une term, Mr.. Pickens asked
vleller it was ment to exclude The pre-
,en President from running second lime;
f so, the was opposedtoit, for he "m'ghl
DC in favor Of the present incumbent run
ming again"
The bill incorporating the subscribers
10 tile Fiscal Bank Of the United States,
was not taken up in the Senate. The bill
renewing the charters Of the District banks
was on its third reading. when a motion
was made by MIR. Morehead TO rccommit
the bill with instructions to strike out
clause prohibiting the banks from issuing
any notes but their own, on those ofother
specie paying banks. 1t was understood
tha the banks would not take the bill with
this restriction. After long debate the
bill was recommitted, but without instruc-
tons.
Some twenty or thirty nominations were
sentin to the Senate yesterday.
Itis supposed that the two Houses will
be present at the solemnities attending
the removal of the remains Of Gen Har-
rison, which will take place some time
next week.
..-. WASHINGTON, June 26.
Neither House will meet to-day. BY a
joint resolution, the remains of Gen Har-
