STATISTICS OF THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

fully up to the discharge Of their duty. We know
the wings have been counting upon their indiaer-
ence or opposition in regard to the tariff bill but, as
in many other cases, the wings have counted with
out their host The West-the republican, gior-
Gus West-will he found true to her own great
principles, and her own dearest interest.
We hear the powerful voice Of Allen rallyinE his
brethren to the charge. He told the Senate frankly,
that If the bill referred to the committee, he
should consider it equal to its defeat; and for one, he
would lend his vote 10 no such maneuyre. We SEQ
the names Of other western senator's with all their
feeling for $40 40, arraying themselves on the
side of democratic principles with all their ancient
spirit-Alen, and Atehison, and Breese, and Bright,
and Caas, and flanagan, and Semple. We would
as soon suspect Dixon II. Lewis himself, or Judge
Douglass, Of regeneration this great question
Of the age, as any Of these western democrats
From the n. Y. Morning News
THs NEW rAaVv rAssEp.--With heartfelt 10Y do
we announce that the tariff bill has passed tho
House Of Representative in substantially the same
shape as reported by Gen. Mckay, the chairman of
the COMMITTEES Of Ways and Means. To this gentle
man are the thanks Of the people emphatically due
for his indeatgabe exertions in behalf Of this great
measure Of deliverance. At great inconvenience,
",
bill entire, IL passed the House. in this number Of
the News IL leaves US but little room for comment
We have no doubt but that the bill will pass the Senate
without much amendment Ii il does, then may
this city rejoice that the greatest impeachment to her
increasing commerce and prosperity II removed.
We hope soon 10 chronicle the happy tidings. The
vote on the passage OF the bill was ia yeas TO IS
nays-giying the triumphant majority Of nineteen!
The honor Of casting the only wing vote in favor OF
the bill belongs to Mr.. Hillisrd, OF Alabama. The
other 10 were oil given by democrats. The
only vote from Pennsy wanna for the bill given
by Mr. Wilmot, the eloquent and truly sound rep.
resentatve from the Bradford district With this
exception, the members from Pennsylvania who
were all present, voted in solid phalanx against the
bill.
New York stood by principle. or her 80 men,
bers (he other seat being left vacant by the death
TO pass the BILL Four others, Messrs. Rus
sell Of Warren, Hungerford of Jefferson, Jenkins
Of Oneida, and Wheaton of onondsga, with the
twelve whig members, voted against the bill. Had
the remaining member Mr.. Woodwork Of Dutch
ess, been present and voted with his party, a ma
jority OF the delegation would have voted for the
bill. The jydcious observer will not fail to
note that Messrs. Miller, Woodruff, and Campbell
were so Indifferent the CONNIE rcial interests Of
this city as to vote in the negative.
Besides those from New York and Pennsylvania,
the only democrats voting against the bill tho
Maryland. New Jersey is the only State where
democratic representatives voted unanimously
against the bill.
All the democrats from Ohio voted for the BILL
except one, Mr.. Cummins, who was absent. The
tax on tea and coffee stricken out, and the du.
ties increased on other articles to render
the bill acceptable to them. They were twelve
strong; and if their votes had been cast against the
bill, they would have been If il had not been
amended, the majority against it would have been
FIVE, We are happy to state that a noble disp osi-
ton was evinced on all sides, to compromise and
conciate.
There were thirteen absentccs; ten democrats of
whom seven If present, would have certainly voted
for the bill and three wings Three Of the absentees
have ''gone to the war" There three vacancies
in the House, and the Speaker had vote. If
every seat had been filed, and every member had
voted the affirmative vote would have been at least
1913 out Of 226 members. But we leave the reader
