Whittlesey, State street, New Haven, on Wednesday evening preceding the commencement at Yale College to in. cludr those ladies who have lost the name by mar. riage. as well as those who have not. It is thought that those who meet will be able to trace their lationship to each other. as we'll as their common descent from John Whittlesey, who died at Say brook, in 1850.
 These family reunions are becoming somewhat Eashion06le. and must. we should think, be source T pleasure to the members thereof. s

OJ-lt is very evident from the tone of the Ad- mnistration journals that an effort is to be made at the next session of Congress to overthrow the pres ent Tariff Law, and substitute in its place a mere Revenue Act. MT. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury, has already announced his intention of recommending such course in his first Annual Report. All the southern loco loco journals, and most of those at the north cordially respond to the views of the Secretary. The party in power have very large majority in the popular branch of the new Congress, and unless the influence of MT. Bu- chanan, and the voice of Pennsylvania, should be sufficient to prevent it, there is little doubt that the protective policy will be overthrown far as the House of Representatives have the power.- What may be the result in the Senate is more doubtful. We have some hopes that the mad pro- ject will fail to receive the sanction of majority of that body. The voice of the new Whig mem- bers of the Senate, Webster and Clayton, Corwin and Reverdy Johnson, will not, we trust, be heard in vain pleading for the preservation of policy which has brought the country up from bankrupt cy and general stagnaton to the highest prosperity We are surprised at the apathy which seems to ex- ist on this subject, at the present time. becomes the friends of the American System to speak out, or before they are aware measures will be adopted of the most mischievous character, and the present general prosperity succeeded by revusion not less disastrous than that brought upon the country by the quackery of the elder Hickory.
