Ahead-A New Tariff.


The recent movements at Washington are inc
most interchangeable most amusing-ihe HoS'
laughable-the most ridicuous--the most melaneho-
w. the most triumphant that we have take place
ia hath hot bed OF sublime roguery since the struggle
be0an between Cantaip John Tyler and the ultra
wings There is nothing like them yet recorded IN
nrose and varss unless we turn 10 some OF the pas
sages in Paradise Lost, and trace resemblance be-
tween Satan and his troops, who, after great deal
Of thunder. lightning and rain, were thrown from
The preepoe of Heaven and fell into the botlomless
pit there TO hold caucus and devise more wars and
inrigues to "head off" higher power.
Captain John Tyler has at last "headed of" the
ultra wing party, including John Quincy Adams and
John NJ. Bolts, and hardly rag remains to cover
their nakedness. Never did such a rout take place
in day as they presented on Saturday last when
the vote was taken on the tariff, excluding the dis
tributlon After all their swearing, and violence,
and folly, they are completely demolished and dis
graced. The last veto, generally called 'veto No.
H. has done the business. A tariff bill has passed,
not the best Of the kind, but will be acceptable
the President and the country, and will probably
pass the Senate-but il it does not, the Senate will
have to take the terrible responsibility that will in
evitably ensue.
This singular result has been brought about by the
hrmness Of the President and the cowardice of the
wings. Many of the ultra wings voted against the
new bill--and a large batch of the democrats-yet
there was enough Of both TO swallow their oaths 10
go for II. To our great astonshment, we find that
Messrs Roosevelt, Wood and Nixon, Of this city,
have also joined the ultra faction that would with
hold arevenue law-bankrupt the treasury and dis
grace their country For this vote they will be held
responsible to their constituents at the coming cleo
toa. Their conduct cannot be passed over without
remark. On the contrary we find Mr. Ferris, of this
city, A. Ward, of Westchester, and others, voting
Ike men and patriots Let them have their
ward.
Now that the new bill is before the Senate, the
question arises" Will it pass that body2" Many
doubts are expressed in various quarters. We can
not indulge in any doubt. With the eyes of the
whole country upon them, will the Senate dare TO
take the responsibility OF dsgracng the government
and the couptry7 John c. Calhoun, whom we look
upon as one Of the great mastersprits of the age,
holds the new bill in the hollow of his hand. His
course on the British treaty in noble contrast to
that of Benton, and his highly respectable TAIL who
looks TOO often like row Of Undertook cabbages.
Will Mr. Calhoun vote against the new bill ?
Let us see. According to the speech viii CHI he
made on Its former passage IN the Senate, 1t would
appear that he is hostile to the details and principles
of the bill, excluding the dlstrbutive clause.
He ought to review this ground, and calculate the
change which has been made in the duties on tea
and coffee 1t is better to take this bill it passed
the House, in order prevent greater evi-the ut
Ter bankruptcy and disgrace of the government-and
retain the chances of thorough revision by new
Congress, composed of wiser and better materials
than hard cider and coon skins. We put this ques-
ton to Mr. Calhoun, for much in which he is inter-
ested hereafter, dependson it.
But whatever be the fate of the BILL John Tyler
has proved himself noble Captain-a live Captain
IA man of nerve and resolution, while John M.
Bolts and his associates diminished the size of
little jumping jack with which Ia jerne editem ANU
himself in his easure hours, by pulling string
and making both arms and legs fly up and down at
one pull. They can hardly be seen through tee
scope
