had not only occupied days and weeks and
months, but years-the subject having
been debated year after year upon the floor.
The people would demand of them why
it was that three months of the session
had passed and they had not yet agreed
upon their rules of proceeding, and why
the great interests of the country were
postponed for discussion upon their rules;
the main object of which was for partizan
purposes and party effect. The majority
had limited the debate, upon most I'M
portant subject, by previous argument, to
one VOTE This was all the time that the
exacting DEGREES of aucus has allowed
for the discussion Of the great constitu-
tional questions involved In the right
claimed by the States; and by the House

if six days was sufficient for proper dis
cussion of that subject, three months was
more than enough for the consideration of
the matter they now had before them
He was prepared to vote and he presumed
every member had also long since made
up his mind as to the vote he should give.

TRIBUNE.

Tribune
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. 81.
In the House of Representatives, to-
day the debate upon the 2lst rule has fin
ally been terminated; and after a heavy
days work at voting and an obstinate de-
fence of the famous rule, it is at length re-
iected to the great CONSERVATION and
chagrin of the Southern members. The
final question upon the adoption of the
code of rules remains-all of which may
be laid upon the table (eaving the exist
ing rules, including the 2lst still in force
Of this, howeve; there is little prospect.
The hour rule, be it remarked. is also su-
p rseded and dispensed with by this loco
House-of professions of so excessive a
desire for the despatch ofpublic business!
The question once more coming up this
morning, Mr.. Cave Johnson's substitute
amendment pending, providing for the re-
adoption of the rules of the last Congress,
except the 2Ist, and in lieu thereof a
provision for the reception and immediate
laying upon the table, without debate, of
Abolition petition.
Mr.. Cave Johnson's amendment, (given
above, } after many points of order and
much delay and excitement, was rejected:
Yeas 35, Nays I43, (many of the South
ern members voting against it, in hopes
on Mr.. Dromgoole's amendment to carry
the 2lst rule.)
The question now recurring on Mr..
Dromgoole's amendment to Mr.. Adams
report, proposing to substitute for all ex-
cept ID of Mr.. Adams; code of rules
he had prepared (including the 2lst in a
modified form and that empowering the
majority at any time at their pleasure to
suspend the rules to go into Committee of
the " hole on the Union or to pass res
olution to terminate debate therein, and
excluding the hour rule, &c.)
Mr.. Dromgoole's amendment, with the
exception Of the two rules mentioned was
then adopted; Ayes SO, Noes 73.
The trying question was then taken &
the 2lst rule was rejected by the large ma
jority Of twenty votes; Ayes Sc, Nays LOG.
Mr. Boyd, despair depicted in his coun-
tenance, said he would make one more ef-
fort for the preservation of the rule, and
moved to lay the whole subject on the Ia
BILE. Rejected Yeas SO, Nays 90.
The rule, making in order at any time
and sustainable by mere majority mo-
ton TO suspend the rules to go into Com
mlttee of the Whole or to terminate de-
bate thereon, was carried.
Mr. Dromgoole's amendment to Mr.. Ad-
ANS report having now been adopted,
Except the 2lst rule) pending the final
question of agreeing to the report, as a.
mended, the House adjourned.

OLD CONNECTICUT! LOOK !

If any man can doubt whether the whig
party are preparing for a vigorous con-
test in Connecticut, let him look at the
great whig convention at Hartford. The
Campbells are comeing, and all the people
with them. Would our limits permit We
would gladly describe the cheering scenes
of that occasion, the thronging multitudes
who crowded through the streets with
banners flying, the cordial greetings and
hearty commingling of good feeling which
prevailed throughout Then again would
we sketch the patriotic speeches of Gov.
Ellsworth and others, and especially of
Mr.. Morehead of Kentucky, whose COM
plete evisceration ofMartin Van Buren, g.
his measures, would fill the heart with
contempt for the man, and detestation of
his measures. But nothing which pro-
ceeding from Mr. Morehead excited such
repeated cheerings. as the assurance he
gave the people of Connection; that the
present tariff would withstand the base as
ats of huckstering politicians.

LOCO LOVE FOR THE TARIFF.

LOCO LOVE FOR THE TARIFF.
Every account from Washington indicates
an assault upon the Tariff by the loco major
ity in congress. A private letterto the Editor
ofthe Tribune says. "tte Calhounites and Van-
ties are projecting a compromise TO be made Gy
a sacrifice Of the Tariff as The price Of southern
support for Tdn Buren," There is doubtless
storm brewing in the locofoco elements
which will ere long burst out in the House of
Representatives. At the commencement of
the session test votes indicated clear major
ity in favor of the tariff as it now stands
This called forth the domineering temper of
the southern satraps of the party in angry
menaces of the abandonment of Van Buren,
unless hisnorthern cohorts would right about,
and level their artillery against the tariff by
reducing the rate Of duties to 30 per cent
This is the market price Of the followers of
the nullifer for degrading themselves by yield
ing their support to the northern man with
southern principles. The screws have been
put on under the direction of Slas Wright.
Preston, King, and others, g. we fear enough
doughfaces have been already nodded to de-
face the protective features of the present
law, in the House Of Representatives. Some
letter writers express apprehension that the
hucksterers may possibly succeed in the SEN
ate. How truly deplorable is it, that public
opinion can be so deluded as to be made con-
tent with the application of party machinery
to measure of government which even few
months of experiment has shown so emmi-
nently conducive to national prosperity. But
just emerging from bankruptcy brought upon
us by the corrupt and weak administration Of
Martin Van Buren,, can it be that 20 millions
of people are again to become the victims Of
his reckless ambition! And who is this
Martin Van Buren, "who grasps the world
thus J" petty intriguing politician, whose
excessive cunning has won him the title of the
little magician, whose warmest supporters
cannot claim for him the high honors Of a
statesman. A man whose name is identified
with no great measure for the public good,
and whose brow was never encircled with a
laurel for single patriotic achievement. A
willy politician, who in 1886 wormed himself
into the chief magistracy under the mantle of
Andrew Jackson, was disowned by the people
in 1910 and has done nothing, and can do
nothing to reverse the sentence Of condemna-
ton then emphatically stamped upon him by
majority of $50 thousand freeman. The
policy which he and his party have pursued
has been eternally at war with the public
good. Under his dynasty for ten years past
the history of the country is written in sue
cession of disastrous experiments which
have precipitated the nation into an ABYSS of
poverty and wretchedness as unnecessary, as
unprecedented in the annals of the country.
But let these base conspirators 20 on with
their plotting and planning, Matty is not the
peoples man. He and his party got whipped
out in 1910 and will be again in 1874.

his Post Offie Reform Bill. Probably we
shall not have the debate upon this bill
until the Tariff resolutions arc disposed
of.
The joint resolutions in relation TO the
Occupation of the Oregon Territory next
came :uard,and Mr. Atchison of Mo. adj
dressed the House at length on the me-
ceSsity of immediate action on the part of
this government He commended that
this was question in which we had no
right TO enter INTO negotiation. Every
foot Of ground that we claimed was Justly
ours. And the proper pc sill for us to
assume was TO give immediate notice 10
Great Britain that at the expiration of
twelve months from date, we would pro-
coed with the occupation of the territory.
He was followed by Mr. Choate of Mass,
who argued strongly in favor of negocia-
ton and said by that means there was no
danger of our getting every inch of our
rights without war, whereas such an in
limation as that proposed by the Senator
from No., would be the immediate signal
or arms.
At the close Of Choate's speech the
