Mr. Pope of Kentucky, also gave notice that he
would propose National Bank, with capital of one

has the cf having been consistent, in spite OF the
lessons oexperence and he will moke desperate Ell
fort TO induce Congress adopt his plan, knowing
that it will receive favor from the next Congress,
which will be Democratic.
We may, then, prepare for contest at the next
session, between the champions of the two projects
an Exchequer and Mammoth Bank. Democrats will,
of course think twice. before they say word in favor
of either.

HEApIxG.-A letter from Washington published in

Tariff Bill, says

when, by the experience OF few months, 1t shall be
asccrtaned that change of the law direct taxation

which favored adequate revenue and ample discri-
limitations in favor of manufactures. They will only
have 10 revive their rejected propositions, and the Fe
derasls will be compelled 10 swallow them, as they
have been compelled TO swallow their iquitous
Tariff bill, without distribution.
AS to the division anticipated among the Democrats,
we will only remark that 1t cannot take place. The
South will not censure for voting for b;l prohi.

which The Treasury could be partially supplied and the
Government kept in operation. The threat Of the
Wings, to lei the Government 20 10 dissolution, will
be remembered The fact will be fresh in the rccoec

10 break up the session of Congress by voluntary alb

and corrupt majority in Congress. There is no more
cause for division among Democrats about the Tariff,
than there i. in relation TO the Bankrupt law, the
Bribery act the Mandamns act, any other outrage
committed by the Federalsts since their accession TO
power.
