PAT AT HOME.

The little Irish bow left, on the whole, a
rood impression on the minds of the Doctors
family, though they were sadly non-p!ussed
at his free and easy demeanor. The Doctor
was caplivatcd by his ready wit-the wife
and the daughter pittied his evident though
accomplishing restitution. The key to the
little living enigma consisted in word be-
yond which no city reader will need any ex-
PLANTATION. Pat was. or rather had been, a
'news-boy ; as such ne had acquired devel-
opment for the natural attitude Of his tongue
as such he had learned the readiness OF re
ply, and keenness of repartee, who aston
ished the Doctors household.
As soon as Patrick had completed his
street toilet-for, with stockings and shoes
in his possession, he instantly discovered What
he had not thought of before, that it was
too cold TO run barefooted-he started for
home at good pace. As he knew that his
mother and sisters were half furnishing, he
was delighted 10 have it in his power to len
der them substantial aid and comfort. The
supply was indeed most opportune. The
father 0fthe little family had died but short
time previously after long illness, which
had eaten up their little earnings, aud semi

NATIONAL FAIR AT WASHINGTON

We take pleasure in placing before our
readers the circular from the American Insti-
tute Of the city of New York, in relation to
The National Fair which is to be held al
Washington on the 10Th Of May. The pat
riotic object of this Fair is 10 Show to Con
sress and to the country the progress whirh
has been Liade in American art, industry and
ingenuity, under The fostering care Of a pro-
teclive tariff, within the last few years. Such
an exhibition will be worth all the arguments
in the world. twill be unanswerable. The
British manufacturers, with their allies in
this country, have had an exhibition of their
fabrics under the very roof of the Capitol. and
with prices marked TO suit themselves have
held them up as evidence of the advantages
of free trade. 1t is now proposed TO place by
the side of these fabrics the productions OF
the American loom and anvil. TO show what
our own workshops can produce, land to place
side by side the American and the foreign
mechanic.
Many of our readers are deeply interested
IN this matter, and we hope they will take
measures TO be represented at thus great ex-
hibiton Of American skill and ingenuity.
The people of Washington, with liberal
and hOspitable spirit, are making arrange
mentS Tor the reception of the articles TO be
exhibited; large building is to be erected
expressly for thatpurpose, motive power will
be applied, and every facility will be afforded
for their advantageous display.
The friends of British Industry in Con
gress are evidently alarmed al the effect
which such an exhibition may produce, aud
they have determined, if possible, TO limit the
discussion of the tariff in the House Of Rep
reseutatves to fortnight, so that the ques-
ton may be taken before the Fair is held.
The cowarilice and meanness of this act
will be in perfect accordance with the spirit
ollocofocoism, which fears discussion and
shriuks from the truth If this attempt TO
limit debate on The tariff succeeds, it will
still be impossible to reach the question in
the Senate until long after the 20rh of May,
so that the good effects of the exhibition
will mol be lost. We hope every artisan,
every manufacturer, every friend of Amer-
can industry, will feel all interest in this ex-
hibiIion, and will be disposed TO do all in
his power toward rendering it credilable TO
the country Providence Journal.

eign besides, while without it we could not
buy the foreign at all, and there would be
no domestic to be bought. This seems to
us to be exalting tariff above soil, rivers,
mines, flocks, industry, ingenuity, and all
agencies of production human and divine.
We have perhaps exhausted the patience
of our readers, but we must add word or
two on direct tax.
Our correspondent asks how would we
pay it, if there was no tariff. Suppose the
worst possible, that our manufactures
would die for want Of it. Then we should
either buy our coat from the British, or we
should 60 without coat if the former, we
should save something from the price to pay
the tax, otherwise there would be no need
of our own manufactures dying before Brit
ish competition If we should go without a
coat, it would be either from will or want
of money if the former we should save the
money for the tax, if the latter, the domestic
manufacturer will have lost nothing by us.
I he very difficulty Of collecting a direct tax,
is, as we have before said, an important
argument in its favor.
But to carry the war into the camp Of cul
opponents, they say tariff will make goods
cheaper-that is, if they mean anything,
cheaper than the foreign at cne and the
same time. If this argument is good, the
time will come by our tariff.wise encourage.
ment of domestic industry, when there will
be no foreign ira :e Mt all, consequently no

revenue then? Will you resort to a direct
tax, or will you lay an excise, which goes
on the same principle oftaxing consumption
and not property?

The Tariff,

By reference to the Congressional pro.
ceedings in another column, it will be seen
that the Tariff bill which passed the House
has also passed the Senate with but slight
amendment, which has been concurred in
by the House and received the signature Of
the President. Every effort of which the
manufacturers, and their friends, the, adyo-
Gates of protection, are masters, will be made
to get up great panic for the purpose Of
forcing the people into the support of their
measures, as every thing in their power has
been exhausted to prevent the passage of
this law. Panic making is an old game of
the wings, for the puepose Of effecting their
ends when every other appliance has fail
ed, and though they have heretofore met
with but poor success they will again re-
sort to this mode of terrifying the people
to the support of their protective policy.
Already has the work commenced. We
see our whig friends walking about the
streets with despair depicted upon their
countenances and crying "ruin, ruin!" at
every corner--as though the word had no.
been used so often as to become familiar to
the ear of every body. What necessity
there is for panic at this time we cannot
imagine, nor Gun we conceive what there
should be to cause one. 1t may be quite
likely that the manufacturers who have been
reaping such fat profits from the operations
ofthe whig protective policy will find that
the prospect ahead is not so bright for them,
and that their profits will not amount to 20
and 40 per cent, but then it will be all the
better for the people who have been taxed
not only to pay their profits but to raise q
sufficient revenue for the support of gov.
ernment.
They have tried this game Of panic max
ing before. The cry of "wolf! wolf!!p
has been heard SO eften that people have
ceased to be frightened by it. AT the time
of the veto Of the United States bank, they
sounded the same alarm note--the country
was then ruined past redemption. Yet
thanks to the man whom the people hat
placed at the helm, he was neither to b.
fattered by their smiles or frightened BY
their frowns--and we have all seen the enc
of that great effort.
The most ardent and enthusiastic adyo
Gates of the law of ~ have not even at
tempted to show the first benefit which hal
accrued to the people from the establish
ment of their layorite measure, unless the,
count it blessing to build up a great mo
nopoly in this country. Indeed, has not th,
price Of nearly oil the productions Of ou
: soil deprecated in value, from some caus
or other, since the passage Of the law o
, az, and when they promised the peopl
that directly the contrary result would fol
low, is it surprising that the people shoul'
, cease to look with constant watching to thu
source for great benefits, andthat too Will

harvest from the operations Of this sysism

The Tariff Bill Passed by the Senate
TUESDAY, July 2sth.

TUESDAY, July 2oth.
In SENATE.-The committee on finance
reported back the bill to reduce the Tariff
without amendment, and asked to be dis
charged from the Instructions as voted
yesterday.
Mr.. Evans, as member of the committee,
did not assent, and hoped the committee
would give some reason for making such
request.
Mr.. Lewis replied that one reason was
want of time to make new bill, and that
the instructions were SO unintelligible that
the committee could not agree as to their
meaning.
The mover of the Instructions had avowed
that his purpose waste defeat the bill, and
if it was to be killed, let the Senate kill it,
and not impose the burthen of its execution
upon the committee.
Messrs. Johnson, Speight and Benton
gave their views.
Mr.. Jarnagan defined his position. 1t
was evident that no amendment could be
effected, and he should obey his instructions.
His intention was, however: to refrain from
voting on the engrossment Of the bill, and
to leave the decision and responsibility with
the Vice President of the United States.
The bill was further debated by J. M.
Clayton, Webster, Nc Dufie and Simmons,
when the motion to discharge the committee
was agreed to, ayes %, nays 81.
Mr.. Webster renewed his motion OF
yesterday to strike out the 9th section, ayes
2s,nays 26. So Mr.. Webster's proposition
was agreed to. Mr.. flanagan did not vote.
The vote on epgrossing the bill was then
taken,-it stood 81 to 27. Mr., Jarnagan
still absent.
The vice President then read his reason
for the vote he was about to give. The
responsibility was great and he felt it deeply;
but whatever might be the consequences, the
responsibility must be met, and he felt sure
that majority of the people were for
changing the present tariff. He then gave
the casting vote in favor of the bill. So the
bill goes to the House with an amendment
which will be concurred in at once.
The question being on the passage of the
bill, Mr.. Niles moved to postpone it until
the LIST Monday in December. After re-
marks by Messrs. Niles, Cameron and
others, the motion was negatived, ayes 81
nays %. Mr.. Jarnagan voted in the mega
tive. After further debate by Messrs Davis,
Huntington, J. M. Clayton, and others, the
bill was read third time and passed.
