The Tariff Bill received the
votes of four Democrats, viz
Mossrs. Buchanan, Sturgeon,
Wright, and Williams (of Me. !
The four Democrats voted for
it with great reluctance. Three
Of them, Buchanan, Williams,
and Wright, with a rJtcstdHdo.
The full report in the Glob,
gives us their speeches. They
will be found extremely interes-
ting. Mr.. Buchanan assigned
the alternatives between which
he had TO choose-the saving Of
tho public lands, the security OF
n revenue to the Treasury with
out litigation with the mer-
chants, and the saving Of certain
manufacturing interosts--andt the
voting for bill which he does
not approve, for which he says,
he would not vote, were it not
for tho unparalleled condition of
the existing law, the Treasury
and the country"-a bill which
no prunounces to be "extrava-
giant in the protection it affords
and, in some instances, is al
together prohibitory." lie SAC
ccpts ii now, rs much the least
OF two evils, and looks forward
with hope 10 better times for un
adjustment of the Tariff, on n
scale more consonant with all
the great and various Interests
oftho Union, without sections. :"
MIR. Wright assigned the condi-
ton of the Treasury, and the
desire to root out the very germ
Of Distribution, as the reasons
which would compel HIM most
reluctantly to vote for the bill.
lie begged his friends, who
should believe him in error, to
believe him to be governed by
pure motives. He said, "hc
owed it to those friends, as well
us to himself, TO make another
remark which was, that the
consequences of his action, if
evil, should be visited upon him
self, and upon himself nlone, as
no friend, here or elsewhere, had
interiered TO bring him to the
conclusion he had pronounced.
Many very dear friends. whose
judgment, upon almost all occa-
sions, he valued moro highly
than his own, had kindly Gttemp-
ted TO convince him he was In
orror-NoI ONE TO URGE HIM
TO GIVE THE voTE.n

nlity gentlemen, who have hith-
eTto distinguished themselves in
tho Democratic ranks, yet wo
beg leave most respectfully to
say, that we shall hold them to |
the letter and spirit Of their a.
vcrments--thnt we shall never
rest satisfied, until this bill of
denominations" eXpunged from
the Statute Book, or completely
changed in its northumberland |

VoTE ON The TARIFF.-This is
the most important vote he ever
gave in his whole public life
long and eventful as il has been.
II carried the bill through the
Senate and what adds to his
responsibility, he know such
would be the effect of his vote.
II is said that when he rose
to speak on the final passage,
the feeling in the Senate was
most impressive, yea, solemn.
IL was known that his vote
would determine this question.
Should he vote for il, he must
differ from the great body of his
political friends, a painful alter
native under any circumstances.
Should he vote against it, tie
Governm't Of his country would
be lcn without revenue and
without credit-thc present IN
certainty, which hangs like Il
nightmare over the business Of
the country, would continue, or
rather grow darker, and the
President might finally he com

OF and American, Mr.. w. met
the crisis. He expressed his
intention to vote for bill which
he did not like, but which ur-
gent circumstances convinced
him was necessary should pass.
His vote was given, and by 0ns
majority tho bill passed the or.
deal. Ii will now glide through

Mr.. Wright needs not eur

fearlessly. He has always been
