Proceedings In Congress.
In presenting the proceedings of public meeting
at Pitsburg in favor of protective tariff, in the
Senate this morning, Mr.. Buchanan took occasion
TO remark that duties giving the necessary revenue
Tor the government would afford ample protect on
to domestic manufactures. The bill reducing and re-
organizing the army was read third time and pass
ed.
Mr. WOODBURY. asked leave to introduce a bill.
He stated that il did not relate the tariff nor did
he intend to raise any question about the public
lands The provision of the bill was to extend the
revenue laws, as they existed on the Both of June,
until otherwise ordered by Congress. If leave was
granted, he had another TO remove certain doubts
concerning the Interpretation of the existing laws for
the collection OF revenue.
Mr. HUNTINGTON objected, on the ground that all
bills OF this character must originate in the House
of Representatives. There was some further preli-
mnary discussions, during which the opinion was
distinctly expressed by the wing side of the Senate,
that there were existing laws under which dol
lar of revenue can be collested
Mr. CRrrTENToN remark ed that never in the course
of his political life had he locked at the condition of
public affairs with so sad and so alarmed an eye.
He said he had for time entertained forebodings
that this government was in the progress of dssolu
ton Mr.. G. spoke at some length and with great
bitterness of the President.
Mr.. G. seems to have taken a new view of the
character OF the President since the tyranny party
dctation constrained him to resign his place in the
Harrison Cabinet. When he one of the advisers
of President Tyler, and held a post of high honor
and emoument under him, his eyes were closed to
The lmbeclllty and treachery which he now alleges
against him. Mr.. Cnttenden is high-minded and
honorab man and it's to be regretted that he should
acknowledge party tealty paramount to all other
considerations. If John Tyler is the man that Mr.
c. represents 1t IS most surprising that he should not
have thrown up the commission of Attorney Gene
raj without waiting for the decision of a Caucus
Certainly it could not have required nearly six
months Tor man OF his astuteness to discover the
weakness and wickedness which he now charges as
the distinguishing characteristics of the President
He should have resigned in single week, and ar
rayed himself at once against the administration
But no he chung TO Office, and only abandoned it
whsn compelled to do so by the interference Of his
political associates and it is neither delicate nor
dignlfied for him now to assail Mr.Tyler.
Mr.. WooDBuRY's two bills were finally laid on
the table, to be considered tomorrow.
Mr. SIMMONS made his long expected tariffreport
from the Committee on Manufactures
The Remedial Justice Bill was then taken up, and
Is now under discussion.
In the House, this morning, Mr.. CASEY, of Hi
nos, offered resolution that Congress will adjourn
on the 18th OF July, instant, Objection was made
and the resolution suspend the rules was rejected
by vote of IS ayes to 80 noes.
The Veto Message then came up, Mr.. CARuTHERs,
OF Tennessee, being entitled to the floor. He &C.
cupied the principal part of his hour in attempting
TO show that there was union between President
Tyler and the democratic party, and he read very
innocent Washington letter in the Herald in support
OF his proposition.
The debate is still going on, and it is impossible
TO say when it is to terminate
