.peculatons a. 10 the final vote in the Senate upon
he lsnf. Mr.. Haywood, Mr.. Benton, and Mr..
Semple are the democratic senators whose votes
are alleged to be doubtful or course none OF these
flying reports are enuded 10 much consideration
Although the vote will be close, believe the
suit will be favorable To the wishes Of the friends Of
commercial freedom Il little becomes this coun-
try, after viewing the splendid triumph Of sound
principles in the British Parliament, 10 take con-
trary course and adhere TO the exploded doctrines
Of restriction And we incline, confidently, TO the
opinion that the vote In the Senate, upon the pass
age Of the tariff bill from the House, not leave Us 10
present TO the world that disgrseeful spectacle.
From the New YOrk Globe.
The foreign news was the topic ofthe day, and
many rumors and eonjeciures were made as TO the
course Of policy the new English ministry Will phr-
sue. We ourselves, however, think Il 10 plainly
enough indicated in Sir r. Pees farewell speech as
first minister Of the crown. From that speech Il
may safely be inferred the new government will
pursue liberal course OF commercial policy, and
that "Lord John" will "follow in the footsteps OF
his ustrous predecessor" Speaking this policy,
Sir Robert says; III presume, therefore, her majes-
tvs government will adopt tfat policy, and that II
other countries choose to buy in the dearest mar
kets, II will be no encouragement to them TO permit
US TO buy in the cheapest. trust they will not re-
sumo the policy which they and We believe to be
conducive to our own misunderstanding 10 the in
auence of public opinion in other countries, rather
than hoping To obtain commercial privileges al an
equivalent for the reduction Of particular duties"
Although Sir Robert is no longer the plot who
steers the ship Of State, yet there 10, no doubt,
perfect understanding between HIM and the present
government on all matters appertalnlng 10 the COM
mercial policy to be pursued. What efforts the
experiments" just made by the late administration
may have the commercial world at large u IL di-
cult to foresee. The finances Of each country should
be first put in Order and stability given 10 lie none
tary system before the adoption Of principles, al
though sound in themselves, which may have ten
dency to derange the social system. That Il be-
comes this country in particular, connected a. Ne are
with Great Britain in an almost unboundsd CON-
mercial intercourse TO act with promptness, yet Al
the same time with discretion, IL no longer matter
Of doubt Happily the new tariff ball has already
passed one House Of Congress, and We hope 10
hear, that on Monday, at the fuuhest, II has been
triumphant in the other. We believe that this bill,
should il become a law, will be well calculated 20
meet the exigency Of the times. We must on no
account stand still while other nations progress
ing We learn from Germany that soon a. the
debates in Parliament the laws and tariff had
terminated, the Zoll-Verien would commence its de-
bates as To the amendments on its tariff, Former
accounts from Russia have assured us that IN con-
sequence Of the free-trade movements in England,
extensive notifications would be made IA ts tariff.
We therefore say again we must now act, and not
