through to-day under the scverest screwng we have
ever witnessed in Cong'.-- II was lost once by the
casting vote Of the Speaker and was on ~. point of
going down again, and finally, by this oneman power
the Speakers veto; but it was saved by Hessrs An
drews OF Kentucky and Stany of North Carolina, who
sat silent while the call asmade, but claimed the right
of voting and voted for the BILL when they saw It about
to fall on the second veto Of the Speaker The strug-
gle was exceedingly hard between the remote preslden-
tia policy of The Federal party, which had 10 view The
defeat Of the Tariff 10 make common canse OF Distri.
button, Tariff Bank, and render all dependent on the
result Of Mr. Clays electon and The present and ur.
gent interest of the manufacturers who demanded I'M
mednie compensation for The late efforts and contrbu
tions which brought the present Federal impurities
into Congress. The open announcement, III the hall
of Congress, Of this sciism oil the dominant party,
(Which had, until within few days, been kept dark,
under the cover Of caucuses) at once brought down
to This city shoals of the joint stock capitalists, whose
warehouses stored with goods, boarded ever
since the election Of 1910, to await the acuon OF 'hs
Federal Congress, and realize enormous profits, oy e.

tribe of rich manufacturers who have been busy with
the committees here, in contriving this oppressive
Tarif-oppressye upon the Treasury and The people
alike-will now realize Instantly immense fortunes
from the tax they will be enabled TO impose on the peo
pie from their laid.up goods, which must now mono
police the market.
The BILL as it has passed, is uttely repugnant TO
the views of the whole Denocratlc party, although
some of them voted for it. They wished moderate,
stable revenue bill, adequate TO supply the wants OF
Government, terminating so far as was pracucaoe
for the be fit of the aborng classes But instead OF
that the Federaliss have connected, IN the present
Tariff more onerous, oppressive and unjust bill than
that of le2o. Yet to regain the public domain, md
pass some revenue aw-when the QUERY OF The maJo-
rity in Congress rendered possible that multtudes al
home and abroad would act under the impression
that there existed revenue luws-was an induce.
ment with eyeral Democrats to support the measure,
against both their inclination and their Judgment The
Federal majority voted down all moderate and reasona
BILE propositions and left no alternative but the ultra
Tariff concocted by Mr.. Filmores committee, passed
by the Federal majority and vetoed by the President
With the land clause and Tax tea and coffee stricken
out, il will now go back TO the President.
The Journal Of Commerce, few days ago, said that
Boston man usaclurer-a slaunch supporter OF the fe-
deral party and the tariff system-had declared that the
new tariff was "e1cessirs, and would, in the end IN
lure the featuring interest This man bad the ga.
pacity TO perceive that the community will never bear
excessive burdens for the benefit of few and that II
would shake off at distant day, the heavy mposts
now laid In the mean time, the instability Of the sys
tenn would endanger the investments of the most wary
and PRUDENT while the present temptation OF extraor.
binary profits viii bring multitudes oil specializing and
greedy into The field TO embarrass, mar and
destroy all regular business.
As the bill stands, we have no doubt II VIII pass
the Senate. MIR Clays friends have been thoroughly
whipped in by the manufacturers. The President will
sign 1t, under the impression that it is the only means
afforded him to carry on The Government Globe.
