IOCOFOCOVIEWS OF THE TARIFF.
The Locos just now, are very busily en-
gagged North and South in agiIating this
question. The Northern Locos are promis-
ing, and the Southern portion of the party
are demanding and threa tcning. The DE
mocracy of the North are SO accustomed 10
bebrow beaten and threatened by their South
ern allies and SO accustomed 10 yield to the
dictation of their assumed aud often real mas
tiers, that we expect before long TO be COM
PEELED to chronicle the victory of the one,and
the shame of the other. The Southern
MISSY Reformery holds the following Ian
guage upon the subject:
"ouR PATIENCE Is EXHAUSTED"
The Administration are pledged to carry
out the principles Of revenue. Tariff. And
we will say beforehand that if the opposition
they meet in Congress shall thwart their plans.
or retard the settlement ofthe Tari at the
ensuing session, we will take issue upon it
before the people. The revenue Tariff shall
shall be established. We will be content
with no half measure We
will submit to it no longer. Our patience is
exhausted. Ard if endurance is preached to
US at the next Congress, lee shall begin to talk
sfrcsi,tence.'-ISo Southern Mississippi eform-

The Evening Post, by one of its Washing
ton correspondents, is predicting the down
fall of the whole system OF protection, at the
approaching session of Congress. The wri-
ter says:
The domestic policy of the country, per-
hars for the next generation, will in all proba
bility, he shaped by the Legislation Of the
Congress; hence il becomes matter gilmore
than ordinary importance that every thing
connected with such legislation he dispassion-
ately discussed, and weighed with all the care
which the great interests involved require.
All parties seem 10 be alive to this fact, and to
he thoroughly impressed with the belief that
the reduction OF the Tariff to the revenue
standard will be the leading question in the |
balls of Congress, during the approaching |
winter; and you need not be informed tha,
the Speaker OF the House whoever he NAV
be) exercises an important influence over
this legislation. Indeed, may say, the COM
plexion of this legislation, from the cast the
Speaker may give the standing committees,
mainly derives its hue fro;a The presiiirs
officer. Hence, practised eye may discover
among the politicians on all Sides much ma
nouvoring in reference 10 filling this impOr
lant chair. The Tariff men have become
prodgies of generosity; they have discovered
that Unfortunately there are few high tar
ifiiies among the democrats, one Of whom
they are very DESTROYS should be elevated to
the dignity of Speaker the next winter
while the more staunch portion of the democ-
racy intimate in broad terms that they ale
capable Of selecting their own man, without
aay such assistance. Many names are al
ready mentioned in connection with the
office; but moments reflection will show,
as they must have been used merely as flyers,
10 detect, if possible, the ways in which the
various currents of Popular favor are setting,
it is unnecessary 10 repeat them here. With
my present Information, however, Il should |

next Speaker will he Western man-auti-

This eStrac; may account for another we
hare,seon elsewhere, to the effect that the
Speaker &c tho House must be opposed to
tho Tariff. We have heard tho names Of
Nossr,. Hunter and Dromgoole, of Va, and

sol, Of Pennsylvania, and with kind of init

have such Speaker as ono in favor of the |
Tariff. five are right in our conjecturcs, |
tho Loco Focos Of the South are already
planning to secure the Speakership. This
done, they will be ablo 10 secure whatever
Committees they desire; and an able report
from the Committee against the Tariff will |
be battle half fought in favor of its repeal. |
