THE zoLL-vEREIN TREATY.

We have mentioned the fact that the Senate had
postponed until the regular session in December
next the further consideration Of the Zoll- Verein
Treaty. The New York Courier has letter from
Washington written before the Senates action on
the Treaty was known, in which the subject is thus
spoken of:
"There is involved in this treaty great principle, which
should not be settled, seems me- in the hurried stngs
of this extraordinary session Of the Senate That principle
u.s. how far the laws Of the country and its set
tied policy protection rghuly be modified chang
ed by the treaty making power. According to the Consttu
tion raising is the Of Congress aone and the
initiative for such bills is exclusively with the House OF Rep
resentaves After then, both Houses, with the
of the Executive, have established the law the subject it
seems anomalous and unsafe that the portion of the Govern
ment which expressly precluded by the Constitution from
any Of revenue he Senate and Execu
tive should yet under another clause Of the Constitution
vesting in them the making power, set at naugh or
defeat by the exercise Of that power the settled law OF
Congress.
81 am not ignorant that Gen. Hamilton in the papers of the
Federast which the ofhe treaty
asregulatedby the Constitution claimed fol unmted almost
unlimited extent Yet it does that the ordinary and
rule Of construction which requires that each provision
of an instrument SHALL far possible be interpreted
harmonic with all Others would exclude the idea that they
who originate any law respecting the revenue cam
under power granted for other purposes change increase
diminish anihate the At any rate, the ques-
ton large to be decided at extra session called
for specific purposes mainly, and should therefore be postponed
The treaty ITSELF moreover yields much than receives
that on that ground it might safely be rejected"

with some strengthening amendments, reached our

1t is our painful duty to announce the death Of
the Hon. ISAAC C. BATES, one of the Senators
from the State Of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Bates died last Sunday evening, at 20 minutes
past o'clock at his lodgings, in this city, after
an illness Of two weeks. li.
We cannot now speak as we would wish Of the
severe loss which this dispensation Of Divine Pro-
whence has inflicted, not only on his family and
friends, but also on the State which he represented
with such distinguished ability, and on the whole
country, which he served with SO much patriotic
devotion. His is name not to be forgotten; and
doubt not an occasion will be presented to us, to
lay before our readers just tribute to his memory
and character, from the pen Of some Of those who
knew him best, and had known him longest We
hope we may be permitted to say, that in this be-
reayement we feel the loss Of most highly valued
personal friend.

n A circumstance attending the close Of the late
session Of the Senate Of the United States deserves
notice, as departure from usage, the reason for
which is not apparent. 1t has been the custom for
the Vice President Of the United States, when sit
ting as President Of the Senate, to withdraw from
The chair before the close of each session. in time
70 allow the Senate the opportunity of making choice
Of President pro tempore, who holds over to the
following session. and resumes the Chair at its COM
nencement, should the Vice President be absent on
the day of meeting. The reason of this custom
undoubtedly is to add another life to the security
against an interregnum in the Executive Depart
nent, the act of Congress which relates to the sub
ect declaring that in of removal death, resg-
nation, inability both of the President and Vice
President of the United States, the President pro
tenpore Of the Senate, and, in case there shall be
10 President of the Senate then the Speaker of the
House OF Representatives for the time being, shall
act as President Of the United States until the
disability be removed or President of the United
Sfates elected. The Office of Speaker of the House
0f Representatives ceases at the termination of each
Congress. In the contingency Of the death, &c.
OF both the President and Vice President, in the
recess following the expiration of a fern Of Con-
gess, the office Of President of the United States
must, therefore, unless there be President pro
tsmpore Of the Senate, remain vacant until there
can be a new election Of President by the People
Hence the usage to which we refer.
This usage was mar regarded by the Vice President
Of the United States at the late extra session of the
Senate. Taking the Chair, as it was proper he
should do at the opening Of the session, he kept
10 the end, and nperson adjourned the Senate sine
die. There is therefore now no President pro
fempore of the Senate upon whom to devolve the
duties of President of the United States in the
eyent-an event which we sincerely trust there is
no danger of occurrng-of the death of both Pre-
sident and Vice President of the United States be-
fore Congress again assemblies.

TUESDAY, MARCH lS, ls45.

Long before the hour appointed the galleries of
the Senate were filled with large number of per-
sons of both sexes, who came to witness the solemn
Funeral ceremonies in honor Of the Hon. ISAAC C.
Bates, one of the Senators from the State of Mas
sachusetts
At the hour Of twelve the VICE PRESIDENT called
the Senate to order, at which time the corpse Of the
deceased, attended by the Sergeant-atArms, the
Committee Of Arrangements, and the Pall-bearers,
with Mr.. ADAMS, Mr.. WEBSTER, and son Of Mr.
BATES as chief mourners, was brought into the
Senate Chamber, and placed on the pail in the
aisle. The President Of the United States and the
members of the Cabinet occupied seats on the right
of the Vice Presidents chair, the Foreign Ministers
and Pall-Bearers on the left of the chair, the Com
miuee Of Arrangements occupying seats in front.
After an impressive and appropriate Prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. TrsToN, the Chaplain Of the late
Senate, and the performance of Divine Service, the
Funeral Procession moved on from the Senate
Chamber to the Railroad Depot, where the body
was delivered to the friends and relatives of the
deceased at their particular request to be Transport

Mr. PoLK's SUccEssoR.-Ihe snbjoined para
graph from the Washington Globe has its own sig
nifcance:
sWe know that the people of TEXAS understand
their interests well, and will take the surest meas
ures for the permanent establishment of their free
dom. independence, happiness, greatness, and
glory. The State viii manifest her sovereignty
independence, and equality with the States of the
Union and the nations of the EARTH by her Sena-
: tors and Representatives in Congress- and by her
participation ia Erecuiee trusts, IN DUE TIME
: CROWNED By HOLDING THE MOST EXALTED OF ALL
THE CHIEF MAGIsTRAcY OF THE UNION"
Among the results having their origin in the
councils of Generals JACKSON and HoUsToN " was
it agreed upon that one should be the elevation of
HoUsToN to the Presidency of the United States
General JACKsoNs power to make Presidents has
been demonstrated--and very signally. He has
made some out of less available materials than the
hero of San Jacinto.
II would cause no surprise if the fact were open
" acknowledged that the promise of the Presidency
of the Union had been held out to Houston to in
duce him to favor the project Of annexation. Per-
haps he now finds that more glorious career opens
before him as the leader Of the young and growing
Republic of Texas, than he could anticipate in the
contingent remandership of prospective Presi-
dency of the United States. To realize the latter
he would have TO encounter the jealouses of rival
competitors-more formidable opponents to success
than the Mexicans would be likely to prove in his
march TO power in the Southwest.
Inasmuch, however as one lays himself liable to
mputations of being under British influence, if not
actually bought with British gold by expressing any
doubts of the speedy completion of the annexation
enterprise, we shall not venture to gainsay the
surances held out in the above quoted paragraph.
We are quite willing to take it for granted that Texas
is determined to establish her independence by losing
it immediately that she is aware her sovereignty
can be secured only by parting with it; and that
Sam Houston would be unwise to forego General
Jackson's promise of the Presidency of the United
States, if he has got it, for any other of
greatness under the Sun-Bdltinl0re american.
