The LABoRERs.- has there been so
great change in public opinion. as has taken
place among the workingmen the past year.
Tue causes have operated every where, and
have produced the like results. This is not at
all surprising. 1t was the workingmen who
were the most grossly deceived and imposed
upon. during the hard cider campaign. They
were told that the difficulties Of the times,
occasoned really by the abuses of the banks,
were produced by the measures Of the late adj
ministration, and that the election Of General
Harrison would bring about better times. Wing
policy and wing measures, they were told,
would Immediately revive business, produce
an active demand for labor, and higher wages.
Under the influence Of tho excitement which
was got up, many believed the statements, and
voted for Tippicanoe and Tyler too. utthey
have looked in vain for the better times,' for
the improvement of business, the increased de-
mand for labor, and higher wages. They do
not find the promised two dollars cay and
roast beef. But they find that those who have
gulled them~wlh these promises, have got
themselves into fat Offices, and this is the only
evidence Of better times they have discovered.
Tiasy see that they have been trifed with, de-
ceived, and imposed upon. They have been
cheated once, and are determined not to be
cheated again by the same men, and are every
where uniting themselves with the democra-
CIV.

WASTE OF TIME IN CoNGREss.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore Patriot,
speaking of Wednesdays proceedings, says;
The House Of Representatives have wasted
the day most shamefuly and to the end OF the
session. The House met at IL, and adjourn
es at half past four-fve hours and half,
and for two thirds Of this time less than quo
rum of members were in attendance. The
yeas and nays were taken dozen times, and
even with these, quorum could not be form
ed. The scene presented was absolutely dis
graceful, and such as should call forth repro
baton Of every constituency, every press, and
every man in the country. All, 1t IS true,
are not to blame, bu. all have to suffer from
the neglect of the majority.
The absence of members from their seats
was so conspicuous to-day, that Mr.. Adams
proposed resolution, the effect Of which
would be to publish the name Of every absen-
tee, and to state upon the record whether he
was was absent on leave or otherwise. The
majority would not receive it, and the House
broke up in hurry, like school boys liberia
ted from the school room at the end OF their
task. No school, however, not even that
which Hogarth has painted so much to the
life, ever presented such scene as that OF the
learned Council Of the Nation during the
whole Of yesterday. No member of Congress
would have been willing to have recognized
any of his constituents in the gallery.

TIE DEBATE IN CONGRESS UPON A
TARIFF

The debate upon the question of the reference
Of that portion of the Presidents Message relating
to Protective Tariff brought out to the liz hit Of
day the opinions and designs Of both political par
ties.
The Wings, save few from The South contend
ed for the reference the Committee on Manufac-
lures, favorable TO Protection, and the opposition
Tor the reference to the Committee Ways and
Means, opposed 10 Protection; and in the discus
son each party freely unioded their wishes. And
that the matter may be clearly understood we
state the different opinions developed as we gath
er them fiom the debate
portion Of tho locoiocos argued in favor of free
rode and direct taxation; that is 10 admit foreign
products without any duty, and for the support of
Government by evying direct tnx upon the pep
pie. The other portion Of The same party argued
in favor Of a low duty upon importations, certain
per cent. upon their value, and for revenue only,
without reference TO protection-iaxing all things
alike, whether produced in this country not, aC
ter the manner, take it, of Nh Woodburys
commentator for n REIMBURSEMENT OF the Tariff,
embracing the necessaries oflfe. This they call
horizontal Taria-a tariff operating equally upon
all importations.
With these views all except 10 or IA of the loco
members of Congress present coincided, as appears
by their votes upon the question above alluded TO.
On the other hand all the Wings, save few
from the extreme South, maintained that there
should be Protective Tariffs sufficient to support
Government, and to pay of the old debt--and that
it should be imposed SO as TO protect the products
Of the United States from destructive competition
with the products of foreign labor-that is, by inn
posing higher duty upon wool, manufactured
woolens, iron, shoes, &c.--ercles produced in
this countrv--and no duty, or "A low duty, upon
| articles not produced by This they cal! Pros
tective or Discriminating Tariff.
The preliminary issue upon the question was ia
vorable--he free traders and anti protectionsts
were defeated. But the subject will come up
gain soon and we not confident that the final
Issue will be favorabe--ihe northern ocofocos,
a body, seem determined go with the slave inter-
est against protection.
A horizontal Tariff would afford TO the wool
grower and the manufacturer aud the mechanic
no protection at all, at best, about half the ans
cunt they have received the past year under the
| Compromise-and that, all know, has beer INSULT
cient--the country has been inundated with for
