Mr.. WEBSTER'S SPEECH.

The resolutions OF inquiry OF the Presi'
dent, by Mr. Clayton, for more official cor
lespondcnce, came up, when
Mr. WEBSTER rose and said Il shall
advise nv honorable friend, the member
from Della ware, to forbear from passing this
resolution for few days.
There is no doubt tina, there are letters

THE TARIFF REPEALED.

Contrary to general expectation, the
Tariff of 1912 has been repealed. When
we issued our last, we entertained strong
hopes that it would not be repealed this
session. The Senate had referred it to the
Committee on Finance, with instructions
to discriminate in favor of raw material
and against British manufactures, and to
increase the revenue so as 10 provide more
adequate means for the support of the
Government. This it was thought would
save the tariff, or al least put the new bill
in a more acceptable shape. The next day
however, the committee reported back the
bill, without amendment, and asked TO be
discharged, on the ground that the instrnc-
lions were indefinite, and that they had
not time to frame new bill. The vote
to discharge the committee was carried by
one majority.
A motion was then made by Senator
Johnson of Md, to refer the bill to Sc.
lect Committee, with instructions to frame
a bill so as 10 discriminate in favor of the
raw materials Of any article manufactured
in the country. He believed the bill as
it now stood Disseminated against Ameri-
can labor.
The motion was put, and the yeas and
nays stood 81 TO 27-,ie vote. Mr.. Jar.
nagin not present.
Mr.. Dallas, Vice President, said he was
taken somewhat by surprise. The Senator
from Tennessee was not in his seattle
Chair would for the present refrain from
replying TO that Senator's intimation, made
this morning, and would vote no. So the
amendment was lost. The bill was then
ordered to be engrossed-yeas 81, nays
27-Mr. Jarnagin absent.
The Vice President rose and read bis
reasons why he voted as he was about to
vote. The responsibility was great, and
he felt it deeply; but whatever might be
the consequence it must be met; he was
well assured that a majority of people
were for change of the existing tariff
he then told how many States were for q
change, and finally voted for the bill.
The bill was put on its final passage, and
the vote stood, yeas 2s-nays 81. Mr.
Jarnagin voting in the affirmative. The
bill then went TO the House, where the
amendments proposed by the Senate were
agreed to--all debate being Gu. off by a
call for the Previous Question.
The new Tariff law goes into operation
on the first day of next December The
country will have full time to deliberate
and pass upon its provisions previous to
that iime--and Congress. which meets fou
days after i, goes into operation. can SHAPE
its action in accordance with public senti
ment.

ers to the letter in another column from
Washington City. on the subject of the
repeal of the Tariff of ls42. They have
been told over and over again that that
law was framed and sought 10 be kept in
existence for the exclusive benefit of the
northern manufacturers. In the letter to
which attention is called will be found
facts and figures to show that the Farmers
of Missouri are as much interested in that
law as the northern manufacturer, and the
people of Missouri, as people, ought TO
demand its restitution, not only on account
of her agricultural interests, but on &C.
count of her Iron interests, &c. which, if
fostered and encouraged, would make her
one Of the richest States in the Union.
