AN ACT TO STAY EXECUTIONS
The following is The act to stay executions,

or coroner of any Of The cities or counties, agree
ably to the existing laws ofthe commonwealth,
shall find that The rents, issues, and profits OF
such property, are no, sufficient beyond all re-

The Tariff.

We announced the passage of the Tariff Bill
through tie lower House of Congress, in our last.
Since that time it has been reported to the Senate
with few amendments, and unless the debate is
prolonged by the opposition members, it will pass
that body in very few days, with the distribution
clause retained. The House will Immediately
concur in the amendments of the Senate, and by
the LIST of August it will be submitted to Mr..
Tyler, for his appreciation. Whether he will give
it not is uncertain; but the general opinion is
that he viii! veto it. If he does, il is not known
what course Congress will then pursue

The Presidency.

Mr. Van Buren, has returned 10 kinderhook, af-
ter his visit to the Southern and Western States,
with full confidence that he will receive the
nomination OF his party for the office Of President
of the Uaited States, ia 1914. During his stay in
Tennessee, it was arranged, through the influence
of Gen. Jackson, that Gov James K. Polk, for
merly Speaker of the House of Representatives at
Washington, should be the candidate for Vice
President, and Mr.. Polk has already repaired to
New York, to put things in proper train for sue
cessful operation. Mr.. Calhoun and James Bu-
chanan, it is said. stand no possible chance for
success, and at the proper time will be withdrawn
to give the little Magician fair field. Late events
clearly demonstrate that the mass of the loco foco
party, will have nothing to do with Captain Ty-
ler, and the opinion daily gains ground that by the
time the Election approaches, Henry Clay and
Martin Van Buren will be the only candidates on
the rse. For own part we have not the least
doubt that if the Wings succeed in carrying ma
jority of the Members of Congress of majority of
tne States (Which they can easily do if they are
active and vigilanD the contest will be narrowed
down TO these two candidates. But if they re-
main supine and inactive, and permit their oppo-
Dents to carry the majority of Congress, ,hings
may turn out very differently. The locos know
very well that their chance Of success in fair
poll, is extremely feeble, and if they can elect
their Congressman, will scarcely trust their hopes
to it. In that event they would run all their men,
with the hope of throwing the election of Presi-
den, into the House of Representatives, and leave
that body choose between Van Buren and Cal.
houn. The Wings, by manfuly sustaining their
principles and men, can prevent such result, and
we have no doub; they will.

The Committee of Conference, on the Bill to
district the State for Members of Congress, OF
which we made mention last week, have been un-
able to agree upon Report, and are discharged
from further duty. Several other Bills for the
same object, have been before the two Houses
during the past week, neither of which could re-
ceive the sanction of both bodies. On Thursday
last, the Senate passed Bill which gave the To-
cos IA members, and the Wings 10, yet the loco
focos in the House would not agree to it. Another
commi,iee of conference was then appointed, in
whose hands the matter rested at our latest &C.
counts.

short time since the Senate of the United
States rejected the nomination of Mr.. j Caldwell,
as director of the Mint at New Orleans, on the
ground of incompetency. John Tyler, however
set up his superior wisdom, in opposition to that
of the Senate; declared that Caldwell was the ve-
ry man for the Office, and re-nominated him to the
Senate ;or confirmation. On Thursday last the

TO relieve the wants of the State to improve the
