The Manufacturing States you well repre- |
stnted Mr.. Saltonstall, MS Chairman of the Com |
mlltee, is we'll qualified for the post assigned him, and
will present an exceedingly n le and vauabe Re ort
upon he s,bect. His associates upon the Committee
are also TO- the most part table men.
The manufacturing interest of the country it is well
understood here do not seek for protection TO the
tent presumed by gentlemen from the South. The
Revenue o. the country to the extent required for the
expenditures of the Government and the payment of |
us debts now amounting to fourteen millions; will nf
ford protection enough. For some years to come |
there seems to be no pro- ability Of any surplus in the
Treasurv, even with high duties imposed at the Gus
toms The Public Lands will yield nothing to the
General Government, and between present expendi-
lures and the payment of past debts there will be de-
mands enough upon the Trersury for all receipts at
Custom.
The Loan bill will probably be considered to-mor
in the House of Representatives, The bill pro-
poses exen ion Of the time TO IL years. and an in
crease Of the amount to sll,500000-s6 100000 of
the Loan of the Extra Session, and $4,000 600 new.
1t probable that this bill will pass but exceedingly
doubtful whether the proposed loan can be negotiated
So say letters from New York. Boston and other
cities. Nspossble however that the loan may be
negotiated abroad, if the interest is made payable

Mr.. Morehead has made most eloquent speech in
the Sanate to-day IN opposition to the Excheauer
PROJECT rms ,peech was not only highly interesting
IN Hseii, nut possessed an adventurous importance
rom Dens suppose TO express the opinions of Mr..
Clay-Mr. Morehead took no middle ground.-He
expressed himself entirely horoughy-uncompro
misIngly opposed to the proposed plan. He thought
It better to bear theills we now endure than to
pose ourselves TO DINERS that we know not of-FrCm

S1ta tat ne KNOWS not OF any form a notification of

me views OF those who have advocated Bank of the
United States. =,

by more enlarged views than M ST OF those who OPP
