The Tarin-No Doubt OF Its Passase-The
HOuse-The Cabinet and the President.
In the Senate this morning, Mr. CRIrTENDEN
moved to concur in the resolution of the House tc
adjourn on Monday next, but the resolution was re-
ectea almost by reclamation, so doubt
can now be entertained of the passage of the tariff
bill. Democratic votes sufficient to secure the bill
will be obtained, no matter how many wings may go
against it. The friends of Mr.. Van Buren, will make
the tariff
1t is Intended as hostile movement against Mr.
Calhoun, and even Mr.. Benton will go for it if
cessary. He is said to have expressed the opinion
that the passage of this bill through the influence of
Mr.. Van Buren,, would PROSTATE Mr. Calhoun for
ever. The entire democracy Of the South regard it
as demonstration against their favorite, and
shall soon fierce struggle between the friends
Of these rivals
The Senate has been engaged all day upo n the
tariff Some amendments have been adopted, and
many more are TO be voted upon. BY this evening
we may be able to Judge of the time that will be
CURED TO carry it through.
The House has become impatient and feverish TO
the last degree Upwards of eighty members have
left already, and it is doubtful whether quorum
will remain after the present week
A joint resolution was adopted this morning by
vote of 10 to S. authorising the Secretary of the
Navy to test by further experiments the value of
Colts submarine battery. The object is TO ascer-
tain whether it can be made available for harbor
defence. The explosion on Saturday carried the
House by storm, Notwithstanding the captious OPP
position Of Mr. Adams The fertilization bill,
which was laid on the table some weeks since, was
taken up and passed II approprlates about quarter
omlion, merely TO take care that the works do not
fall into dilapldation.
President Tyler is surrounded by cabinet of I'M
questioned talent, with large experience in public af
fairs, and some OF them with peculiar aptitude for
business details Between him and them there ey-
lists the best official understanding generally, and the
kindest personal relations but from circumstances
involving no dlscredit to them, they most of
them utterly destitute of influence in the legislature
being unable to control vote in either house of
Congress- and therefore incapable of rendering any
service to the President other than what is derived
from an able administration OF the affairs Of their
departments Their political associations bring him
no strength-ther counsel, however judlcious and
valuable, is never enforced by the advice of
others, and although their appropriate and pecu-
liar duties are well discharged, they constitute
point OF rePulson to the democratic party,
while the. wings are uniformly and avowedy
hostile to the administration. These remarks have
reference TO that portion of the Cabinet which has
acted with the wings until the last few months 1t
is not intended TO dsparage the integrity of these
gentlemen, their abilities or their patriotism. Ii
fleets discredt upon them that their former asso-
Citations, or their present views preclude the cordial
administration, so long as they occupy places of
trust and power near the President but the fact is
indispuable, and if it shall continue to exist, the
consequences must be prendlcial to the admnstra-
ton and fatal to President Tyler
The necessity for new combinations is obvious,
palpable. The gentlemen in the Cabinet who stand
in the way of an honorable union between Mr. Ty-
Ter and the democrats shut their eyes to the
true state Of things. They cannot desire to proong
and exasperate the difficulties and embarrassments OF
the administration, without deriving any ultimate adj
vantage therefrom. The Cabinet must be made more
democratic. The tendency of things is strongly to
that result. Indeed the proclivlty is irresistible
| The personal feelings OF President Tyler are
| believed TO be adverse to change, but the
| public exgences are imperious and over ruling.
lie cannot stand against the necessities of his adj
mnistration. The change, then, must eventually
| come. IL isa question OF time merely, and mean
time it Ia TO be hoped that the democratic press will
| not be clamorous Tor hasty action. Much is due
to the position as well as the interests and feelings
OF the wing gentlemen In the Cabinet. There are,
Or will be, other eligible offices in the gift Of the
| Executive, and no objection could be made to their
being satisfactorily provided for hereafter
