Among the Nays were Messrs. Clinton, Doig'

The bill now went to the Senate, and on the

viz. Messrs. Buchanan and Sturgeon OF Pa. Viii

Thus it will be seen that the Tariff bill was
| not so strong in either House after it had been so
shaped as to receive some Loco-Foco support as
i, had been before, when opposed by their whole
marty. We had HIS Wings in the House and
rs in the Senate Though Tennessee was with
out Senators) in favor OF our original bill; we got
but I05 in the House and pa in the Senate
after we had been compelled to cobble 1t to suit
our advcrsaries and John Tyler Our majority,
too, was reduced one-llalfi in each House.
There can be nothing meaner, nothing essen
tally more false, than the Loco-Foco assertion
that such Wings as Mangum, Clayton, J. q. Ad-

Tariff. There are no more thorough Protective
Tariff men than these. They voted, not against
the Tariff, but against the surrender OF the Land
Distribution, and the prostraton OF the proper IN
dependence of Congress at the iootstool OF Execu-
tive usurpation. 1t was because they believed
the Land Distribution essential to the stability of
the Tariff policy that they refused to surrender it
to the caprice of John Tyler.
On the other hand, most of the Loco.F Focos
who voted for the bill declared, with Silas Wright,
that they did so on npulsion-that the Govern
ment must have Revenue, and they voted for this
bill TO raise Revenue, protesting against its Pro-
tectivc features. Some Of them published cards
in the newspapers denouncing and defaming it.
These are facts OF the plainest notoriety. No
body will attempt to contradict them. Judge,
claim for the Loco Focos any share OF the credit
| Of passing the present Tariff!
u We find in the Erening Post Of yesterday
the proceedings of a Loco-FOco meeting held on
Monday evening, in the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict. One of the resolutions adopted, after pala-
vering about some sort of Protective Tariff
(as the phrase now gocsO declares that the Loco
Foco party are opposed to the present Tariff,
that protects the Manufacturer alone and oppres-
ses the Agriculturist, Mechanic and Laborer.' 1t
is strange we don't hear some of the Agricultur-
lists, Mechanics and Laborers com planning of this
horrible Wing Tariff. They all seem to like it
extremely.
Another Of the resolutions says:
Resolred Tint in the opinion of this meeting the Anne1n-
ton Texas the Union, and the occupation OF Oregon
seat National from the dan
acquisition Texas will be of benetto the people of
the United ates commercial pont OF view Oregon must
be occu2led-TeIas must be annexed.
That's wormwood to the Post. But the follow
ing, taken in connection with the declaration in
favor of assuming the s25O0O,000 debt of Texas,
caps the climax Of absurdity:
Resaired TIN, we are opposed Assumption of the
State Debts would re upon the industrious and ff
gal The noa-indsbed uite 10 the Debts Of few
rcI0ls men upon fraud and speculation
procure livelihood by nventng schemes By which rob
honest industry OF It's Just reward.
Do these resolution makers think the mass Of
their party are FOOLS that they thus trhe with
