overiure-if would be wicked 10 suppose such
thing although il is said he never consulted MI.
Allen before sending that proposition for the adj
VICE of the Senate, so anxious was he 10 get out
OF the scrape-so delighted at opportunity oil
escaping the responsibility of this treaty, by act
ting under the advice OF the Senate. Mr.. Allen,
il is true, had talk with the President next LAY,
but then il was too late the President was COM
PEELED, from the " exgences OF the case, and
from an intimation indirectly communicated to
him, that Mr.. Pal enhain had declared that the
only alternative, on the rejection OF this PROPOSE
ton, an appeal 10 arms. Then there were
the presidents Of forty years, the change in pub

further conference with the President upon the

The tariff will doubtless be resumed IN the
House tomorrow. There two bills before the
ccnImltiee-oien. M'kay's, for a general reduce
ton To The mean standard Of classification, from
81 10 Is per cent; and Mr.. Hungertord's bill,
cnlefiy a scale of reductions upon cotfons, WOOL
lens, silks, &c-leaving iron, aud iron manuiac-
lures pretty well secured. "A dozen other schemes
Will doubtless be proposed and the only ques-
ton now left against the modification OF the law
of - al the present session, is, Will the House
adopt bill sufficiently OF the free trade policy. TO
OF the Senutel Now this is matter of extreme
doubt. A material reduction upon salt brings
New York and Virginia down upon you--a heavy
abatement upon iron, brings the whole force of
Pennsylvania, some from Virginia, member
two from Missouri, perhaps all, with scattering
shots from the North and East IN opposition. II
you reduce the duty upon cotton bagying, the
hemp growers oil kentucky are up III arms and
II you touch pound OF sugar in hosshead,
Louisiana will give yon the go by. lfyou include
tea and coffee, III order 10 cheaper boots and
broadcloh the agricultural members from the
interior will stoutly resist the imposition. Mr.
Hungeriord's bill is TOO partial To be entertained.
The taxes upon cold il on not less obnoxious to
the South than the minimums upon coarse cot
tons. II the tariff is reduced, it must be done Mt
the sacrifice OF Pennsylvania to something like
an equal ratio with the cotton lords OF Lowell,
the whole OF Down East will protest-New
Hampshire particularly, well South Caro-
Ina. In conversation with a member oil the
House 10 day, whose opinion may be worth
cordng, he stated his belief that the tariff would
be passed with the destruction OF the specifics
and the mlnimums, and The establishment oil Il 30
per cent ad valofem upon cotrons and cold IRON
and the snb-treasury bill, with the specie clause,
to be held IN reserve tor twelvemonth, should
also be passed III time Tor an adjournment on or
about the first of August.
BY the supplemental bill TO the act providing
for the prosecution of the with Mexico, in
addition to Major General Scott, another Major
General is 10 be appointed by and with the adj
wee and consent OF the Senate. Gen. Taylor,
vino has been b.eveted to this rank will unques-
tionably be appointed, and ut the close of the war
the quest on is left TO the Presidents discretion
whether III retaining the one Major General for
the peace establishment he shall retain "Old
Rough and Ready" or the distinguished letter
writer who refused to 20 TO Mexico. The demo-
Gratis gam nothing by the movement in either Sc
lection. The bill being originally designed for
the ousting of Scott is ammunition wasted since
Scott has ousted himself from the track OF the sue
cession; anu the promotion OF Taylor may be fol-
lowed by his election 10 the Presidency in which
event Gen. Scott, If alive, would be restored at
once TO ms old command. 1t is, them most likely
that after the wars over, Gen Scott will be al

that his time is SO entirely occupied in carrying
