and power in that Senate Chamber and
elsewhere.
Their speeches on Saturday quite recon-
cied an anxious and nervously impatient
audience to the prolongation of an unrea
sonahle debate. The spectacle Of such
sacrifice was painfully affecting, --notwith-
standing the heroic, frank and gallant
manner in which they made it. As lis
tened to them, my dominant feeling was
an ardent wish that five thousand n. York
Wings were gathered where they might
hear those two Kentucky Senators those
breathing Spirits in those burning words.
Cold is the Northern heart that does not
burn with gratitude, respect and admiration
| for men who in this hour Of trial thus boldly
renowned the pride ofparty. prejudices of
and wishes, for the sake of distant portions
of the country whose distress might be al.
leviated by this measure.
Every Kentucky Wing was vowed and
pledged to the inseparable Union of Tariff
and Distribution and weeks ago no man
here entertained the idea that il would be
possible for any Of them to aid in the pas
sage of the mutilated bill. But the trial
has come and they have done it,-done it
as they would have laid down their right
hands for imputation.
If another vote had been necessary to
save the bill,-we could have had it. Man.
gum stood ready also 10 sacrifice himself if
it had been required and so probably would
Graham and ircher have done.
After the decisive question Of engross-
ment had been taken, the bill received its
final passage without the yeas and nays and
without a division. After few words
from Mr. Wright in favor of taking up the
resolution of adjournment and fixing it on
Tuesday or Wednesday, the Senate ad-
Ijourned without further action.
They will pass the bill repeating the 20
per cent. Limitation Of the Land Distribu-
ton, on Monday, before taking up the res
olution of adjournment.
There will be no further danger to the
Tariff Bill in Congress. The House will,
on Monday, concur in the Senate amend
ments without debate The majority
in favor of the bill be considerably larger
/ than before, as will be shown not only on
the vote in favor Of concurrence, but also
in the rejection of the motion to lay on the
table, which is the last kick that the ene-
mics of the Tariff can get at it. The bill
has already passed both houses, and the
only questions which can be taken in rela-
ton to it in the House of Representatives
are the motion to concur and the motion 10
concur and the motion TO lay on the table.
Congress will close this long session on
Wednesday evening. cannot conceive of
any probable occurrence which should de-
lay it beyond that; and it will be difficult
to adjourn sooner, as the two great bills
Land and 1ariff) will not reach the Pres
ident till Monday afternoon. He will pro
badly retain them both for one day. The
Land bill he can veto briefly, as he has al
ready expressed himself very fully on that
$, beet.
There are mutterings around the White
House about veto of the Tariff; but none
of the wings will permit themselves to en-
terrain any idea of the possibility of such
an event. Mr.. Tyler feels himself to be
in most miserable plight about it Z; but he
cannot escape from the dilemma. If he
signs it he renounces all the anti Tariff
opinions, declarations, and actions of his
whole consistent life. If he retoes.
