The Iyefoed Tariff Bill.

The Newburyport Herald (Whg) says, "The Tariff
bill and the Distribution bill never ought to have been
connected and the quicker they are cast asunder the
better
The Boston Courier Zone of the ablest Wing papers
in New England) also says "Cut asunder these two
Subjects and let each stand on its own claims Political
management oined them together let the good sense OF
the honest and Industrious separate them.
a Committee of The Manufacturers OF Brooklyn has
gone to Washington, to demonstrate against this
dogged, factious spirit Of Distribution.
The last N Y Journal of Commerce says, GAS TO the
Tariff bill just vetoed by the President, we have heard
strong expressions of dsapproba,on towards from the
leading manufacturers themselves based its exces'
sve rates of duty One OF The largest manufacturers IN
Boston, who is decided Whig went so far as TO say
he was glad it had been vetoed" The Journal says:
"The Free Trade men must yield, and the high Tariff
men; the President must yield, and the House must
yield The country must and will have her pecunary
honor protected, and this eternal agitation OF the Tariff
put at rest" "Firs the responsibility Of legislation
rests with the Wings They hold controlling MAORI
ties in both Houses The President is Of their elect.
ng, &c. 1.-The prevents part of the good they would
do, charm ratherD they not at liberty to make a
personal controversy about the matter, and offer the
country sacrifice TO It's President. Let them pass
bill of any thing like moderate protection let them
enact the Tariff it stood in lo40 1871, even
1880, including the act of the special session and
if The President will not sign II, the country will
say they have done what they could and will pour their
Indignation on the head Of The President. But how
ever much the President may be in the wrong, the
Wing party cannot excuse themselves to the country
in tile present attitude of the subject II the Wings,
or any portion Of them, should bring forward such
bill as We have suggested in judgment the COM
try would expect the Democratic party to support 1t,
aud give their strength to carry it through
We have no doubt that both the President and The
Democrats would take the bill of A. perhaps ~; but
the Wings mad and bent their own destruction

TERRIBLE.

1t is said that Mr.. Robert Tyler,
the poet and ballad-monger, son of
John, threatens the Senate of the Uni
ted States with the lash of MS satiric
pen for rejecting one of his Pas 1om-
nations. This is calamity seriously
to be dreaded. The point of Roberts
pen, like the tail of burning comet,
may set the whole Senate in a blaze,
and utterly annihilate that grave legis-
lative assembly. A committee should
forthwith be appointed to wait on the
poet and depricating his terrible wrath,
endeavor, for the sake of the nation, 10
appease it. 1t never will do to destroy
that body at this critical juucture, as il
would certainly prove most fatal ca.
tastrophe to the nation. The Senate
should vote the Laureate a wreath O
goose---bery leaves, or crown Of cab
bages.-Oyord Mercury.

The National Intelligencer Of the
23d ult. says:
The last remnant Of insurgents, left
alone TO their reflections during the
night of Wednesday, and abandoned
by their leaders quietly dispersed yes
terday morning, after restoring 10
the armory the cannon they had carried
off.
The Providence Journal has the
following very proper paragraph:
"The flight Of Dora renuncia-
ton or his violent and atrocious course
by his immediate friends and the lead
ers of the perty which has acted with
him, will remove the only impeachment
TO liberal extension of suffrage. Such
an extension no one contends against;
and we take the earliest opportunity,
after the establishment of law, and the
manifestation made yesterday of the
determination of the people TO stand by
the Government, to record our opinion
that such an extension should be made.
We should go about the work, not with
the embittered feelings of party spirit,
but as men bound in a common inter
est, and seeking common object.
The same paper of the 18th says:
A report was current this morning
that Dorr was In Bellingham, Massa-
chusetts, about three miles from Woon-
socket and that he was raising recruits.
We think it very probable that he is
there, but very improbable that he is
raising recruits. He would hardly
dare to show himself to his own men.
A requisition will be, or has been,sent
70, him. He must leave the country if
he escapes.
