Final Passage of the Rerenue Bin.
The Revenue Bill passed the Senate at
five O'Clock last evening, by vote of 20 to
%. Mr.. Henderson, of Miss. was absent
and could not vote, and Mr.. Berrien was
present and did not vote. Three of the so
called Wing Senators voted agains. the bill
Mr.. Preston and Mr.. Rives, according TO
general expectation, and, 10 the surprise of
every body, Mr.. Graham, of N. c. HIS
colleague voted for the bill. The vote, 9TH
erwise, was strictly party Characteristic
Pennsylvania Senators voled against tariff
which gave handsome protection upon the
iron manufactures ofPensylvania, and that
with the full assurance that no other Reeve
nue. Bill could have passed if this failed,
which. " ould yield any like an adequate pro.
cection 10 iron. The same policy was pur.
sued by the Locofoco members from Pen
sylvania when the Bill was under consider
alton there, and thus the State most interes-
ted in protective duties, and the citizens OF
which have literally inundated Congress
with petitions for protection, is abandoned
by its own Senators and Representatives.
A day of reckoning will come by and by;
and, in the mea ltime, it is well enough 10
remember who are disposed to give protec-
lion TO the industry of the country, and a
revenue for the support of Government. Bad
as the present conditions of 'hings are, 1t
will be sad day for the Government when
its interests are again intrusted TO the hands
of the Loco-focos. A feeling of gloom and
and dependency now pervades the land in
consequence of the discord that exists be-
tween thu Executive and Legislative bran
ches of the Government; but will ii be better
when all distractions are removed to the
consummation ofthe will of an agrarian and
destructive party.
