I would be- a. well to have action Of Congress
IN the subject, but LIT each Department hep IT,

House on the several biIi- and with decided adj
gan,age to the Public Service
There remain, then, after the APportionment
md the two minor Appropriation bills no" near
+, disposed Of, two great topics: l. that OF Ma
,ional Exchanges and Currency on which We no"
ear nothing will be effected at tn, Session and
; the Revision Of the Tari. This latter has al
rcady occupied the attention of able aud isdu'tr-
,u. Committees Of either House during the greater
part Of the Session, and We trust will be formal!

alone possesses all the knowledge requisite to adj
u,t such measure perfectly TO all the Interests
IF the Country. The Secretary Of the Treasury
has given the best powers Of his clear and abs
mind to patient investigation Of the subject, and
he ha. framed what is in the main an excellent
bill; the Committee of the House, after a like
careful investigation, and taking the testimony OF
many practical men, sitting day after day for week
through the hours when the House j. not in s0--
,ion, and which TIE Members arc vulgarly sup
posed to spend in idene., and dissipation, have
also reported pretty good bill; but We know
hat Mr.. SALToNsTALL (thcir Chairman) has
since regretted that he reported so soon instead
If awaiting still further inquiries and deliberations.
The Senate Committee, when We were last IL

the One-Hsur Rule, have short speeches and Ion:
sessions, and drive the work forward fast As Is
consistent with profound deliberarion and the vital
importance of the subject
The delay which has been suffered on this topic
mas been useful-nay, vitally necessary. 1t was
nccdful that the Country should reaze it. wants,
should demand and be prepared To sustain the pro-
per action on the pant OF Congress. Great wisdom
md circumspection were and are still requisite on
the part of the friends Of Protection in Congress.
In the first place the entire Loco-F oco party, in
Guiding the Virginia Tyler men, deadly hostile
70 Protection. with the partial exception of the
Pennsylvania Representatives and perhaps two OF
three others. Then there are the Wing Members
rom the Cotton States whose eyes are opening to
he truth, but who are held by the pride of ayowed
'pinion and the apprehension of dispeasing then
constituents by planting themselves decidedly on
the RICH, side. These two sections of Congress, il
'ombined. form a majorty-thc New ork Loco

BeIricn Of Ga. and You have enough to defeat a
bill, saying nothing of Henderson of Miss. and the
North Carolinians. Cannot every one see that the
friends of Protection cannot safely attempt 10 drire

conciate and perfect and hidc their time If
Ohio, and PENNSYLVANIA, and Illinois and New
York in part, were not grossly msreplesented on

If Protective Tariff, do not be dcluded into dis
trusting or dcnouncng your Representatives, but
extend TO them a just aud generous confidence,
while You aid them SO far "a possible, in urging
Congress 10 prompt and faithful performance Of
is duty. II time has been wasted, il is not their
'uult, IS Il your loss. BE hopeful, be vieilant
set patient, and all will Vet be well.
