"THE CHANGE.-Snce the veto of the Tariff bill
by the President the counteOances of men have been
gloomy, and their minds filled with apprehension of
coming events. 1t fearfully anticipated by most
persons that no tariff would be passed, and that the

alone, IN the hope and expectation that Congress
would perform its duty to the people by the passage
OF bill adequate to the raising OF revenue and the

had the pleasure OF announcing the fact OF The pas

hope has taken The place of despair 1t only remains
for the Senate to do its duty promptly, We look for
immediate and favorable action in that body, and

passage of the bill by the Senate, in the paper

bill before him, can want no time for deliberationi

There's consolation for you, my masters, in the
midst of your defeat! Softly and fairly. The Pre-
sident puts all his impacable foes to rout and the
Wings claim the victory
The Baltimore Clipper, "neura paper" strongly
inclining the Wings, to the help of the
happy and the desoate, and let of the following
eiusion of comfort, TO smooth down the leaven OF
defeat:

upon offering motion to adopt the revenue bill re-
Gently vetoed leaving out the land clause We be-

provided il be fully understood that the claim of the
States to the public lands is merely waved for the

aga INST the majority if they should, patIotcally
make one more attempt, with some sacrifices, to es-.
tablish measure urgently needed as the Tariff.
The well-consIdered and carefuly-matured bill
from the Committee of Ways and Means, is d ubtless
the best that could be brought forward
measure of revenue and protection. We agree en-
trely with Mr.. MckennaD, that no bill hastily pro-
posed by the of protection, should be admit

Weld. No veto any other act Of Mr.. Tyler can
affect its validity. We hope to see it, at some time
not far distant constitute the Basis OF more efficient
relief to the States than be rendered by annual
distribution of the amounts of sales merely. The
fund itself is prolific of benefits, and under wise
policy it may be made to yield abundant blessings to
the People of the States burdened with debt
But this can be consummated only at some more pro-
pitious season: not now. Let the Wings waive dis

the PEOPLE 1t will suffer nothing by being made an
open question again. BY SO doing, and adopting

already given of their sincere and anxious desire to

The Tariff BILL as it passed the House, is now be-
fore the Senate and may, and may not, pass. The
National lntelligencer OF thursday has the following
paragraphs in reference to II:
The TARIFF BILL, No. Ill.-knowng the anxiety
of our readers to learn what likely TO be the fate OF
the Tariff BILL which has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives and is now before the Senate, we have
made such inquiries we hoped would enable us
with some certainty 10 forel it. In this hope, howev-
or we are baffled. No man can tell what lis fate will
be- So far from its passage in the Senate being be-

II is proph,sied by some that, should the Senate
non concur in the proposition by the other House TO
