WASHINGTON, Aug. p
a thrill of JOY and renewed animation will per
wade the country at the annuncaton from the House
of Representatives to-day; and the devoted patri-
otism OF the Wing party, manifested by its perse-
verance and finally crownsd acith SUCCESS, in the
passage of Tariff Bill, Notwithstanding the twice
repeated defeat of their efforts by the tyranny and
usurparion of one man accidentally invested with
brief authority, will be duly appreciated
The Tariff Bill brough, forward by Mr.. McKEN-
NAN, the same as the vetoed bill with the exception
of the striking out the Distribution section, and
modification making Tea and Coffee imported in
American vessels from beyond the Cape of Good
Hope duty-free was, after being suspended in
cztremely dubious position between heaven and
earth for about three hours of NEST intense excite
ment in the House Of Representatives to-day and
twice undergoing the imminent peril of being lost
by one vote, at length passed the House by ma
jority of TWO VOTES, as follows: See Editorial
The various steps of its progress, which were
watched with the deepest interest by those
who seemed impressed with the consciousness
that the most momentous interests Of the country
Mr.. BARNARD's bill to legalise the collection of
20 per cent. duties to the 3oth June, was taken
up in Committee of the Whole on the Union, (Mr
}. r. lSGERsoLL in the chair}-a resolution hav-
ing been adopted to terminate debate at twelve
o'clock-Mr ROOSEVELT argued that there had
been, and still was, legal authority for the coec
ton of 90 per cent. duties without farther legsla
ton, and deprecated the tacit acknowledgement
IN the bull that there was no authority and
quently that all the duties thus collected should be
refunded. Mr.. FILLMORE Gin reference to the
proposed substitute of Mr.. c. J. IseEnsoLL, given
below said he could see no good from fixing a
20 per cent. Tariff with e Limitation to two wears
as It would be direct invitation to importers to
food the country with foreign goods in anticipa-
ton of increased duties, which there would not
be as much inducenent to do if the Tariff re-
NAMED as at present, in state of uncertainty
He had till the last chung to Distribution as one of
the most fondly cherished Wing measures, and as
measure demanded BY the country, but as his
friends, great portion of them, had come out,
Preferring to yield it, though most RELUCTANTLY,
under an memorable aespetism which would
not suffer the wants OF the Treasury to be sup
piled without, he did not feel at libert7 longer
TO refrain from withholding bis vote from proper
Tariff, even at the abandonment for the present of
this measure. Mr. EVERETT, although on The re-
ceipt of the Veto the first preston of MS mind
was that It was their duty TO aajouru and appeal
to the decision of the People, yet, considering the
unusual suffering and distress pervading the Union,
felt boznd to do all in his power TO relieve the
country, and should go for Mr.. McKennan's pro-
position and in case of the failure Of that as
dernier resort, might vote for Mr.. Ingerso's. Mr.
HoLAEs advocated the original bill and the legal /
ling of twenty per cent. duty. Mr.. GORDON |
protested willingness TO go for reasonable Reve-
nue. Tariff, and "a man who never speaks on sub
Ject without the Introduction of his jaded party
speedy called On the majority to throw away their
dissensiens and fix permanent Tariff.
At twelve o'clock the Committee proceeded to |
vote. Several amendments of Mr. BARsAap TO |
