mach severity the clause rcpeal,ug the twenty per
cent section Il the Distribution Act. He deemed
{, breach Of faith on me par, of the Wing party.
ubo he SAID lad welded to the restriction. AT the

the land bill ndcr no circumstances. he
a,erred. could that bill have become q law with

iemau. Mr.. WHIrs Of Ind. and Mr.. krxxEDY Of
Nd successfully cou,endcd that the yroriso in the
Land bill was received by the friend, Of the rnea.

Whenever the Tariff should come up foI revision
and adjustment the united force Of the parry would
t@ eSeitcd 10 repeal it. Moreover it va, Insisted
that the Compromise Act Of 1873! was based
upon the perpetual distribution of the proceeds #
the Public Lani, among ,hc Slaic- after the Ii 81
Of July, l&i2 except in the event Of a foreign
lh- position seem. to be- inpfrgnably fortified hN
the tone and character OF the debate in the Senate
on thai subject in 1889 and 80; and if nv mem.
sry lOcs not fail me Mr.. CIAYTON of Del on tina,
occasion made il sine qua non that before he
and his friends would vote for the COMPROMISE
Act M CALHocs and the party with whom he
acted should conccdc the principles and rate for
the Distribution Of the proceeds of the Public
LAMBS, TO this cx6clon Nj. CALHouS, with
qualified protes, implicitly Welded AMI thus, Tor
himself and his friends, fully recognized the Dis
ubuiion bill, ~ "a substantive principle Of the
Compromise Act Is it not then, unbccoming.
TO say the least in the Opponents Of Distribution,
90 charge the friends Of the measure with il breach
OF inth in moving to expangs the clause, the
oyowcd operation Of which would ohcctually nul-
If, the most important feature Of the C.npo-
mise Act Mr. CALHoUN and his friends should
blush a The dishororabc attempt
Al > O'Clock the bill taken out of commit
tee, aud after frutlcss bu, violent struggle To de-
feat it, was trumphantly passed, by vote of 10 to
1913 This rcsul, is decisive of the sense OF the
House upon the subject Of ,alutary Tariff, aud
there is reason to appreheud tina, the Senate
VIII ft-lS tHl- utCl>lpn. Out 1 regret 10 Intern
YOU that it il whispered 10y certain friend, of the
Pre,idcu, tina, nc will not sign the bill. 1t they |
he well advised the country assuredly has mex |
srehoy pro.pcci before it for | am entirely Coz
dnccd liza, no proposition 10 adjust the Tarin can
prevail at this sessions Of Congrc.s, which do, not
contain the Frortso touching the Land Bill.
The Senate have this moment decided to adhere |
to their amendments OF the Apporlionmcnt bill, !
and the House having refused to rcccde by vote
Of ITO t. 100. motion of Mr.. JOHNSON of Nd. !
;.e TIE House do aiIcre, the vote wa. SO to l27.
SOS Committee 81 Conference Will be appointed
tomorrow, and the question settled without ,ai. |
tier discussion. Whatever may be the faal dis
position Of the Ratio, the people of the United |
States nsy rest assured that the Dis,rc,ing prn-
rpe cannot be disturbed and that equal aud |
last representation will thereby be scared 10
every State in the uuien. Although the House
deserves great credit for first entertaining the FRO
POSITION, e, tue distinguished ability with which
j. was sustained in the Senate by almost efcrs
rsmser of the Wing party deserves the grateful,
aknoN Judgements OF every republican in the coun-
ny. II ii were not apparently inyidious, would
commend To your special peru-al the speeches Of
Mr. HUNTINGTON of Conn, MIR. TALLMADGE of
Ny, Mr. CRlTrENDEN. Mr. PRESTON, Mr.. Bar
RIEs ard Mr.. EVANS. They contain not only pro.
,Osnd constitutional views but are replete with
Republican doctrines, and are altogether unan
,yaablc
be Senate have made considerable progress in |
eNayy bll and horl tie demonstrations OF yes. |
cuio, and to-day, you may confidently anticipate !
The eNpunclion Of the odous lT0r,SJ OF the House
Mr tlvSGiNCIoN, Mr.. CHoATE aud Mr.. Preston |
made effective speeches against ii, and think
can assume it will be stricken from the bill to-
MORON. Yours, &c. CUKTiUs.
