The Tariff at Washington.
The Herald has an absurd but characteristic
Editorial, asserting the receipt of private ad-
vices from Washington that Cen. HchGy'S PdR-
Gal Tariff bill ,ciH become laao This IS
nura fabrication. Our advices are at least as re-
liable as those of the Herald, and we assure our
readers that the great Loco-Foco measure OF
paralysis to the Industry and destruction to
the Prosperity of the Country has no reo-
sonable chance Of becoming lau. 1t will
with great difficulty be got through the
House. even, and has no look at all OF getting
through the Senate, except IN the unlmaglnaole
contingency of Connecticut going Loco Foco at
the approaching State Election. Should that
incredible result take place, Messrs. Archer, ber.
rien, and Henderson may be impetied to the mis-
taken conclusion that the Protective Policy is
donment. But Connecticut Will not go Loco
Foco, nor will the Senate demosh the Tariff !!
Mark It Meantime it behoves every friend Of
American Labor, fully employed and fairly paid,
to exert himself in support of the Protective
Tariff. and TO circulate and send on Memorials to
Congress against It's subyersion
Ono-A Committee OF Conference between
the House and the Senate have agreed on com
promise Apportionment bill, which, though un-
Just 10 the Wings is deemed better than to let
the Government come TO a dead halt 1t gives
the Locos ! certain of the 36 Senators, with
The better chance in three or four other Districts.
The House will stand about - certain TO each
party; doubtful. We presume this bill will
pass. The House has decided, 4S to 10, to abo-
sh Public Executions They had two in Co
umbus this winter, which did mp the business
eaectually.
The Wing spirit is every where arousng.
Observation-Disclosures elected Charter Officers
on the 4th, and the Loco candidate for Mayor,
Gen Williams, is chosen by over 100. CThe

would get hundred Wing votes.) Of the six
Aldermen, the Wings have g. the Locos 2: one
tie. The vote was very large Last year, the
Wings carried the Mayor on local grounds.
LATER FROM AFRlcA.-By the arrival at Bal
tmore of Lieut.. Ferris, an officer OF the U. S.
Squadron upon the African Coast, information
has been received that three Of the vessels COM
posing it, the flag ship Macedonian, Commodore
Perry, the sloop Saratoga, Commander Tatnall,
a.. Il
had some warm work upon the Coast in the way
of furnishing the natives concerned in the murder
of the Captain and crew of the schooner Mary
Carver about two years ago.
On the 18th of December last, the three vessels
met at Monrovia, and after taking the Governor
of Monrovia on board, proceeded down the Coast
to about 60 or SO miles below Cape Palmas, and
on the 18th landed force Of about 500 officers
and men. A council house was erected on the
beach, to which on the 18th the African King and
his Interpreter came attended by his people, all
fully armed, to hold palarer. The talk" was
very unsatisfactory, and finally the King, his In
terpreter, and the people, turned and ran but had
not proceeded far, before volley from the Amer
lean force killed the King his Interpreter and 9TH
crs. The natives fled to a Jungle, from whence
they continued for above an hour to fire upon the
Americans, who returned vo)lcy for volley, burned
their towns, destroyed their Canoes and then re-
turned to their ships.
On ehe following day the force again landed a
few miles further down, burned five more towns,
destroyed considerable number of canoes, &c
In one of these towns the Register Of the Mary
Carver was found, also a private letter belonging
10 the captain of that vessel, and other papers
which had clearly belonged to it. The boats
again returned TO the ships, and few miles fur
ther down treaty of peace was concluded with
another tribe Of Africans.
The Saratoga arrived at Madeira on the Goth
from Monrovia, and just before she left the latter
place, the Rev. Mr. Sawyer, of the Mission
aries stationed about so miles below Monrovia,
died.
The Barque Roderick Dhu arrived at Monro-
rovia from Providence about the 9th of Dec.
Mr.. NJ. Appleby, African Missionary, arrived
at this port Tuesday in the brig Antarctic, hav-
ing left Sierra Leone 18th Dec.
The brig Frances Lord, hence, had arrived.
The missionaries, Mr.. Raymond, wife, and Mr..
Livingston, passengers on board, were in good
health. The place had been unusually healthy
for the last year. The Spanish brig Voladore,
(slaver,) with 80 slaves, had made her escape
from the Coast she had been chased several times
by II. NJ. brig Boneta, and one of the American
cruizers.
Another Homicide in Wisconsin!
