TO their ayowed willingness TO aid the Wings -
establishing Tariff provided tie Distribution OF
the Public LANDS should be relinor:slfed. A mo
;;cn was made by Mr.. McKEssAs to suspend the
rules 10 enable him to offer resolution TO pass
such Tariff. The Locos were taken eli abaek
and voted a. random, those of them who did not
dodge. Finding that the resolution was not likely
to De sustained more of them en- the second trial
supported it: the vote then as follows:

In connection with this vote should be remcn NJ,
bered the letter of Mr.. BURKE, which we publish1
ed yesterday (who, it will be noticed, could not be
prevailed on to vote for the suspension even from
personal courtesy in this case) declaring that the
Northern Democracy had no intention of joining
with the Wings in support of a Tariff The truth
is the severance of the Land Distribution from
this question will ALLEVIATE more Wing friends OF
Tariff than it will conciliate Loco-Foco enemies;
for it will be seen that the Southern and Western
Wings generally voted with the body of the Locos
agai,st the resolution. With reference to the re-
suit then, the Intelligencer says that the appear
ances indicated By this vote more favorable 10
the passage OF Revenue Bill than the reality will
bear out. The probabilitys that no such bill can
pass the two Houses and become law.
That the establishment of Tariff should be the
most difficult thing in the world we think may
easily be seen. 1t is question which more vitality
and directly than any other affects the different in
terests Of the country and while it operates gen.
orally upon them ALL it must be adjusted with
specific reference to each. Now the Wings as a
parry have in the first place to face the whole ar
my of Loco-F ocos--pledged to the distractions
and absurdit.cs Of Free Trade. They are met at
every step by their opposition--either direct and
above board or couched under some specious,
glozing prctences which render it moro di&cult to
find opponents than to beat them when found.
But besides this there is every in the world
why they should differ among themselves, rs 20 the
details Of an efficient Tariff. The Wings OF Yer
mont, for instance, must have q Tariff which will
protect their Woodland at the same time Dye
Stuis and other materials necessary for the manu-
facturer must be at low rate Of duty Penn
svlvania demands duty which shall protect her
Iron and Coal interests: Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, and other manufacturing States, must regard
their Cotton, Shoe, Woolcn and other manufactures.
Now though the Farmers Of tho nation are 5ene-
flied by the general Protection OF all these inter-
esls, still, they are extended and powerful enough
each by itself, to create serious embarrassments
for every attempt TO adjust Tariff tor them all
This, however, difficult as 1t is, the Wings have
successfully accomplished and the bills they
have already passed are believed to coaiain the
only principles OF Compromise which could be
carried through. Now the Locss pretend TO favor
a Revenue Tariff but whea the Wings seek to
meet them on this and bring them up to the mark
nothing in the world IS easier than for them
cept to details, and to shape their course as to
ALLEVIATE the friends of somn one or more eff the
various interests of the country. This is the
source of the difficulty by which the Wings in
Congress are now beset; and SO long as the Locos
are actuated by the sane factious, mischievous
spirit which rules them now, they have the power,
which they will without scruple exercise, of de-
feating every attempt to establish Tariff. That
our friends in Congress should be blamed for fail
ure in the effort is unreasonable and absurd.
