The New AMERICAN TARIFF Br.L.--The new
tariff act sent TO the Committee OF WAYS and
Means by the Secretary Of the Treasury, has not
yet been presented to the House, from which We
would infer that il undergoing some material a.
teratons il is possible that it may be kept back un-
til the Oregon question disposed of in the Senate,
as much depends upon the determination Of that boz
dy. Should the Senate pass the notice resolutions
as they came from the House, we have no doubt
bill making appropriations for Notifications, and an
Increase in our navy, will be Immediately intro.
duced into the Lower House, which will arres. all
further efforts TO modify and reduce the tariff
The necessity for larger revenue than we now
receive from imports, in The event Of extensive pre-
paratlons being made for defence, will require ia
riff full as high as the one we now have; aud it
might be considered premature to reduce the ave.
rage rate OF duty, when the expenditures Of the GO
vernment were likely to be SO much increased.
The Oregon question will, without doubt, be
brought TO focus very soon, when The way will be
clear tor any action on the part Of the Lower House
upon the tariff.
