The DUTY ON SALT.-There new
or was more barefaced piece of bar
gaming than that which took place in
the House on Friday, on the rronosi-
ton to make salt free. The tax on
this product. which is Of all the arji.
Giles that are imported, the most essen-
tial necessary Of life, was conicssedIv
retained in the bill for the purpose of
getting votes! Mr. Tibba,ts, of Ken
lucky, who had all along voted against
the tax, writes to the National Iatel-
gencer that he moved to reconsider the
vote making it free, because he was
convinced that the bill would not pass
unless salt was taxed, for the benefit
of New York, almost exclusively
Some Locofoco members from New
York were willing to sacrifice every
other manufacturing and me chanical
interest OF the country, but they would
not consent that foreign salt should
come into the country free of duty, be-
couse 1t would affect the value of the
salt springs it that State And thew
were supported in keeping on this tax,
by the professed free traders of the
South and the men from the West who
were so indignant that tea and coffee
should be taxed The tax on salt could
never be defended except on the prin
clple that it is the duty of the govern
ment to protect every interest of the
country. Hence, foreign sugar has been
taxed, and foreign salt taxed-both of
which are, as much rs tea and coffee,
regarded as necesSaries of life, and salt
Is especially so-though the interest
when was thus protected is entirely
10 cal, and very inconsiderable, when
compared with that which is invested
IN manufactures and mechanics. But
now, by combination between the
sugar planters of the South and the
salt workers Of New York, with the
protested free-traders, every other in.
tefest but theirs is TO be sacrificed
a similar bargain took place for votes
from Maine, in regard to the FISHING
bounueS; and these being retained. the
Locotocos from thatState voted for the
bill, which otherwise they would have
opposed! Thus the sugar, salt & fish
ing interests being protected, every O.
ther was put at hazard. Can it be nos.
slbIe that the Senate will yield its sup
port to such a scheme Of bargaining !

OUR RAILROAD.

We learn that the New Hampshire
Commissioners have at length settled the
question as ii regards the connection to be
had by the Lake Champlain and Connec.
ticut River Railroad with the Chehire-
and that this decision is altogether hvora
bic to both these ronds. BY the de:ision
OF this board, the Cheshire road is to extend
no farther than Bellows Falls. and his is
TO be made the place of meeting OF these
two roads This is, in our belief a wise
decision, and it is with unfeigned pleasure
that we announce it to our readers and the
friends ofthe Western Railroad. AL that
is now necessary to insure the advancement
and rapid completion of our road, is fer the
stockholders TO do their duty promptly,
and that they will now do this we can Ia e
out liule doubt.
Judge Fole,t, the President OF the hoard
of directors, has been in New Hampshire
for some days past, and Immediately on
receiving the decision of the commissioners

millions annually. Ii is, however, nj
most impossible to form any safe cal
citations upon such uncertain data
! The estimates OF the Secretary of the
Treasury, which were furnished The
Committee OF Ways and Ncars IN
February last and which bv the way,
they have taken the pr"cauEon to pre-
ven, beng published, are entirely con.
jectural aud visionary. For example,
we Consume something like sixteen
millions OF bushels isnlt,yearly;which
is almost equally divided between the
Foreign and Home manufacture
Every body knows this is prime mr.
tlcle Of necessary, and no chenpening
OF price, or alteration of revenue laws,
will make people consume more than
they require. Sir Robert Walker cal
culatcs, by al ad valorem duty Of 20
per cent, that the whole home article,
say eight millions, will not only be
displaced and driven out, but, that the
increase of importation will reach ten
millions Of bushels annually! need
not say the Secretary must be daft.
1t seems to be understood, from ex-
pressions dropped by Mr. Dallas, that,
should the pending Tariff Bill depend
upon his vote, lie will decide in the
affirmative; thus proving himself a
double traitor--to the interests of his
State, and to the fullness of his own
convictions. In truth, nothing was to
be expected from n man who had, in
turn, abandoned all the principles he
ever prolessed, and changed his coat
to suit the views of any party in power
that would reward his ridiculous pre-
tentlons. In Philadelphia, there is no
interest, Of any division in politics, that
treats him with common decencv, for
he is bankrupt in every quality that
makes man honorable and respecta-
bic. Had he an element of common
propriety, he never would have carried
the temper of partisanship into the pre-
siding dignity Of the Senate, which he
has dlsgraced, rs he has also done the
reputation Of his father In every
aspect, he is SWAZILAND he lacks the
commonest ability to discharge the du
ties of his station. The best men of
the Locofoco side Of the chamber, such
as Calhoun, Dix, Haywood and McDuf-
fic, speak of him as cringing tool of
the Executive, d Il supple instrument
III the hands of any side that will pay
him best. Very complimentary, to be
sure, from ones own allies.

The blow so long threatened against the Tariff,
has at last been struck, so far as the Committee Of

coudsrikeit. They reported their bill on Tuesday
1t is very long, but abstract of il will be found
in another column under the proper head. Wepre-
sumo it is substantially the same as the plan pre-
pared and furnished to the Committee by the Sc.
cretary Of the Treasury, but of which the public has
never yet been put in possession officially. With
the exception Of the duty on Foreign Brandy,
Spirits, and Cordials, the duties range from thirty
down to fiue per cent All the duties are ad Uai0-
rem. One very extraordinary feature in this scheme
land showing the dstrust of its authors in its suf
ciency is provision that if in any year it shall not
yield revenue sufficient for the ordinary wants Of
the Government the President is invested with au-
thority to lay duty Of ten per cent. on Tea and
Coffee, and to announce the fact by proclamation.
