FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan.

In the Senate to-day the Southern feeling on
the subject Of abolition and the tariff was very
prominently displayed, ami farther intlmation
was given OF the probable course which the
Southern people intend to pursue, to rid them
selves from the expressions and insults to which
they assume that they arc exposed.-l look up
on the suggestion Of Mr.. McDailie to-day, as
sort of authorized manifesto from the South,
and have no doubt it will be needed as such.
There are signs that the great West may be
brought into the league with the South where.
Of Mr. McDuIic speaks.
In Mr. McDufe's speech, to-day, in reply to
Mr. Evans, on the subject of the tariff after an.
swerng sir Evans positions and endeavorng
also to coun,eract the tendency of his argument
by resort TO some general principles OF politi-
cal economy, he said that it was a mistake to
suppose that all the various interests of this
Union could be blended under the same legis- |
lation. There were conflicts OF interests and
Of sections. He wished il were otherwise
He wished that Providence had SO ordered it |
that the interests of New England were the
same with those Of the South and the West.
lie would draw a picture of the relative cond- |
ton of the different portions of the Union, un.
der different stale OF things, and he called
upon the Senate to look upon it, for it was a
sketch of what they were ere long to realize.
Suppose, he said, we had three confederacies
--one in the North. East, one in the North
West and the third in the Southwest. We
Of the South. West, being RENTED t., our just
rights Of legislation, would then b" able to ex.
