The Tariff Bill.

It will be source Of rejoicing through.
out the country, that the House Of Repre-.
sentatives have at last resolved to take ac-
ton on the Tariff bin. On the 18th ult.,
Mr.. Mckay, moved that the committee
take up the "bill for reducing duties 81
imports andfOr other purposes, = and d
vote stood, Il5 ia favor Of taking 1t up, U
II against il.
We hope that the House will act speedi-
" and promptly on this important measure.
There can be no necessity for protracted
debate upon it. Again and again has it
been discussed in the halls of Congress,
& before assemblies Ofthe people through.
out the country. Every argument, pro &
con, has been elOquently urged. The adj
vOcates for protection" and for taking the
labor Of the masses to enrich the manufac
turers Of the north, have exhausted their
fund Of sPecious arguments for the adop.
ton of their favorite policy while the ad.
vOcates Of equal rights of unrestricted com.
increasing the markets, for the
sale Of the productions of the country
have ably and elOquently expounded the
wisdom and the justice of their cause
Not only SO, but the people. after long Pc
rod Of sober, deliberate reflection have
spoken their will at the ballot box-and
low they demand Of their representatives
PROMPT AND EFFICIENT ACTION. They
10 not want-neither do they expect, more
speeches on that question, for in the Ian.
suage of Senator flanagan, eff evera
question was spoken to death, it is the Tar
if. Probably more speeches have been
made on it than any other one subject ever
discussed in the history Of the world"
The vote in favor of taxing up the bill
caves no doubt that it will be adopted by
decided majority. And why should it
lotl Already has the cloud which threat.
ened war between England and the United
States rolled away, and our relations with
hat country therefore cannot now be urged
as an argument in favor Of. continuing in
orce the present high tariff: There can
be no doubt that the war with Mexico will
be Of short duration, and it therefore can.
not be urged as even plausible pretext for
delaying the proposed reduction. No bar.
rier, then, interposes to prevent the triumph
Of equal rights over mOnOpOIy-Of justice
over injustice--and the country anticipates
with anxiety the glorious contamination.

"THE GREAT WESTERN" is the soubri-
quet which attaches to the better half Of
one of the privates in the army. During
the bOmbardment of Fort Brown, she fur
nished the soldiers with coffee and refresh
ments-while they returned the fire Of the
enemy. The New Orleans Delta says
she gave Uncle Sans boys un-powder
(tea) while they helped the Mexicans to
grape. Where the shot few thickest there

The Natchez FencibIeI, and Gov
ernor Brown.

A number ofths citizens L Natchez re.
Gently held meeting and adopted resolu-
tons censuring Gov. Brow, because the
Natchez Fencibles were nd mustered into
the service Of the United Safes. We have
carefully examined the correspondence be-
tween the Governor and lh officers Ofthe
company, and we are convinced that the
entire blame Of their non. acceptance rests
soith them. No impartial person after a
perusal oft, can failto form the same oPin-
ion.
The correspondence shows that on the
LIST Of June, the Captain Of the Fencibles
reported his company " Nth full rank and
officers, according to the terms Of the requi-
sition from the Secretary Of War" On
the End June Gov. Brown instructed him
Without delay" to rePqrtto Gen. Dufield
at the rendezvous at Vicksburg. Instead OF
reporting without delay (accOrding to the
terms of his reception) he did not report
until the 9th. Not only so, but although
having reported his " company full' on the
first, yet on the fourth the Natchez Free
Trader said il aoaS not tu4, and made ear
nest appeals for recruit A messenger
from the Vicksburg Volunteers informed
the Governor that the NRtchez company
was not full-and all ACCOUNTS prove that
even after reaching Vicksburg ON the ninth
it was not complete according to the requi-
sitiOn from the Secretary Of War" This
is substanliated by the fact, as stated by
Gov. Brown, that they "Could not pass the
inspection officer after tro or three in
efectHaI attempts" Under these circum-
stances he accepted the Vicksburg Volun.
teers as alternates--and addressed letter
to Gen. Duffield instructing him that ifthere
should be "a failure ofths Nqtches Fen.
cibleS to rendezvous on Tuesday at noon, he
should muster the Volunteers in their stead. "
But also instructed him thatif ga company
has been divided and the captain asks time
for the Gbsentees to GrriUe, a reasonable time
must be dllOUed for that purpose"
Such were the circumstances under
which the Natchez Fencibles failed to be
received, and can any uupreiudiced person
attach any blame whatever to Gov. Browns
There was no duplicity in his conduct
1t was honorable and impartial, and the
public viii commend his straightforward
and manly course.
