One week more and six months of the session
will be over. The Navy Bill will be disposed

Immediately considered. These appropriate
Bills disposed of, and day OF two devoted to
the subject of the District business, and all will

there will be anything like revenue proper

thirty sixty days, in order to have time to de-

that thirty are as good as an hundred DAYS for
the discussion of this subject. IL there were
three monthsa to act upon it, would be

three hours of the three months.
There are three reports now before the
House upon the subject of the Tariff. They
come from the administration proper in the
form of the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and from the Committee on Manu-
features in the report of Mr. Saltonstall. and
from the South in the report of Mr.. Habersham

CALEDONIA COUNTY TARIFF CONVENTION.
"A large and respectable tariff convention
has been recently held in the county of Gala
donia. Very few locofocos were present.
Their leaders and papers upbraid them for
attending tariff conventions in conncxion with
wings. Until recently, no Loco Foco- Tar
if convention has been held in this State,
and they now have no thoughts of any thing
but WOO, and this never entered into the scheme
of their policy until they began to think they

THE STEAMSHIP CALEDONIA.


While so much anxiety is felt respecting the fate
Of the steamship Caledonia, we readily grasp at any
reason which can furnish hope, that she has not
shared the destiny OF the President. That may
do all in our power TO moderate the spprehensions Of
such of our readers peculiarly interested in
the safety of that vessel subjoin the following pa
ragraPh, which appeared in the Intellgencer of yes
terday morning.
To calm the fears entertained by those who have
friends on board of this vessel the following is stated
as being believed to be the cause of her detention
Capt. MORGAN, OF the packet H. Hudson, arrived at
New York, says that during an experience of more
than one hundred passages the Atlantic he
yer experienced such tremendous gales from the west
ward as between the 9th and the l4th February
The Caledonia was then 10 days out. Now, as the
average passage about 200 miles per "a hours she
could with such gales hardly have made 100 per day
The passage out being Is days. she would then have
consumed two-thrs of her fuel, and have made only
one-third of the distance Consequently it would
have been madness to proceed for she then would
barely have fuel enough to carry her back TO Eng
land This would take her from to days. So
that she would reach Liverpool about Goth or 2lst-

/ this or that name Under which 10 range them
selves, but there is an interest paramount to
all other, which is the interest oil the country
and which seems TO be totally disregarLed in the
present squabble for supremacy.
Our foreign relations indicate The possibility,
If not probability, of war and, il is admitted
on all hands that we are totally unprepared for
such an event; and yet, Notwithstanding all
that has been urged by the Secretaries Of War and
Of the Navy, not single thing has been done,
during session of more than three months, TO
put the country in posture of defence. There
are at present several suggestions from the differ
ent Departments in possession OF Congress
pointing out the wants of the country. and ask
ing for the means TO carry on the public services
and TO correct the abuses under which the coun-
try labors but it does not suit that body TO at
tend 10 such matters lest they might interfere
with the game of President-making, which
seems to absorb all of its attention.
The Gulf of Mexico, for instance, is the
key to our Southern and Western country, and
| il foreign feet should obtain control in that
quarter, the whole trade of the Mississippi val
enemy. The Navy Department asks that means
be put at its disposal for the purpose of guard
ing these vast interests, but these forsooth are
trifing matters when compared to party sm
prensdcy, and must be put aside until It can be
ascertaned in favor Of what candidate for the
| Presidency the members Of this or that State
may be. The Secretary of War points out
where defences are required for our inland from
tier, and asks that the homes of our brethren OF
the remote interior shall be protected from the to-
mahawk and scalping knife Of the merciless In
dian. Some persons might perhaps think that
these matters are Of sufficient importance TO
command the attention of our legislators; but it
would seem they are light as feather in their
estimation when weighed against the rejection
| Of some place-man whose nomn alton may con-
fict with the success Of some other aspirant for
office whose influence il may be desirable to Sc
cure in favor of this or of that candidate for the
| Chief Magstracy. We ask of Congress, nay,
more, we ask Of an abused and neglected coun.
try if these things not true, and, if true, are
they not disgraceful. We neither know, nor
choose to know individuals in matters Of this
kind, but if sooner or later the partakers in such
outrageous abuses of confidence on the part
| Of the servants Of the people, are not visited
with the shame and condemnation they so rich
ly merit at the hands of generous and con
fding, but deceived constituency, then will we
confess that we know nothing Of the temper Of
the American People.
