WASHINGTON, July
SENATE.


Petitions were presented by Sturgeon. Dix,
Cameron. and others, against the repeal Of
the present Tariff.
The Committee on Printing reported in IA
vol ofPrinting sundry petitions against the
repeal ofthe Tariff Of 1912. The report was
concurred in, and petitions ordered 10 be
printed.
The Senate then took up the resolution
from the House fixing the hour of adjourn.
ment of Congress at j , O'Clock, on The 10th
Of August. which was concurred in.
The bill TO reduce the Tariff was then ia
ken up.-Mr. Webster commenced his
speech in opposition TO its passage. He
spoke with more than his usual emphasis and
ability, and was listened TO with the greatest
attention and interest by crowded audience
Mr.. Secretary Walker being of the num-
Der.
He maintained that nobody who got his
living on land or on the sea, petiiioned or
asked fol the passage of such bill as this :;
ii was the work of politicians for political
purposes, and that was all. The great BODY
of the people, instead of asking for the pass.
age ofsuch bill, opposed its passage, and
he pointed to the petitions on the table as
proof of what he uttered. He was playful
and entertaining in his illusions to the ST.
lence ofthe champions on The other side, who,
PoloniOus like. do not give speech to their
thoughts; they we're willing TO be checked,
but not taxed 10 their speech.
1t was here announced that Mr.. HAYWOOD
had resigned bis seat. His resignation has
been received by the Vice President, but was
not read 10 the Senate until half past one o.

THE BRITISH TARIFF PASSED.

Yes, the British Tariff has passed, and
The democracy is in exissies. Vermont Le-
cofocoisln is as loud as the loudsst in this
wicked jubilee. But the country should be
clothed in sackclOth and ashes. A more
efficient plan to crush American a.ricrltur.
and manufactures and to yield up our mar
kets 10 the cupidity of foreigners. could not
have been devised. Indeed, the object
avowed BY the party is to increase the reven-
lie by encouraging an increase o! foreign
importatons, no matter what bef4lls ths
home manufacturer or the farmer Our
Southern task master, indeed glory in autici-
patton of this result. They hate northern
prosperity and resolved 10 pass the bill The
remonstrances of the psOpls, even the Lsees
OF Pennsy lvauia, were treated by the admin
| istration Senators with marked contempt a.
the work Of panic makers. But we have
reason TO thank Heaven that there was but
one Wing who voted for it. Mr.. Webster
styles il an aristocratic bill TO reduce duties
on Injuries and increase them OH the poor
mans food, and ruin his employment.
Should this Tariff continue the settled policy.
The country will eventually be in dsplOr4ble
| state Of embarrassment. All our cherished
hopes of railroad Improvements will be de-
Iayed and perhaps defeated.
But is it not too bad that while these evils
are coming upon US we are TO be impsyer.
ished to pay the expenses of foreign war
which will soon amount 10 one hundred
millions. The present tariff is no way ade-
4uate to meet the enormous expenditures.
face. But so it is. The dearest interests of
the North are first crushed, and then mil
lions on millions are exacted Of them to car
~ on war which only strengthens the infa-
nous slayeocrdtic despolism which robs aud
ruins US.
But We have reason to hope that these out
ageOus wrongs against the country will at
last be righted. The people previously
misled as they have been cannot fail now To
discover the broad issue which has been
made between the parties on the subject of
protection. We trnst the next Presidential
election will change the order of things aud
restore prosperity to the country. In the
meantime, let US not be too much depressed.
While grass grows, the people Of Vermont
can live as long as their oppre,sors, under
this or any other tariff. But we must tax
economy and sef-denial to the utmost extent.
Such are the facilities which many branches
of manufactures have acquired that they
can still sustain themselves. Bur multitudes
will be Frustrated unless the present Tariff
endure. Even for revenue. it is utterly de-
iect've, and the British party itself will be
obliged 10 repeal it.

FROM our Regular Correspondent.
WAsHISGToN,J July 9th, 1846.-5P.M.
The Senate Chamber at an early hour was
filled with a crowd of anxious spectators,
expecting to hear from Mr.. Webster, in favor
Of American Industry, against the new Loco
Foco-EDglish bill Of Sir Robert Walker

10 the lobby OF The Senate, there were
several ladies, and should think majority
of the members of the House of Representa-

the vacancy.
The special order coming up, Mr.. Webster
proceed with his speech. He opened by an
allusion to the resignation of Mr.. Haywood.
lie stated that he presumed we should hear
from him soou the reasons that led him to
resign. Mr.. Webster made some beautiful
allusisns to the character and independence
o. the Senator referred to. He also made
some appropriate remarks upon the article in
Saturdays Union. This article as far as I
have heard meets the unqualified disappro-
val of all honorable men.

Government of England has offered its medi-
