Niles the most indignant enemy OF the hill in all
the Senatsl The only objection to Mr.. Hay
woods medium policy, is that the Senate loses
the weight of his direct opposition 10 the bill in his
resignation.
But after all, there is more assumed than real
Indignation. The New York Democrats-the Old

The Issue is tremendous enc. II ths bill 10
postponed, ths hes-traders are appr~honslve that
a regularly organized paric may stavs OF any
decisive action, not only at the next session, but
seriously, from the dlsafection in the ranks,
hazard the return of Congress at the succeeding
session, of a complexion competent TO carry the
measure. The indefinite abandonment OF the
scheme 10, therefore, supposed TO be materially
involved in the postponsment of the bill till De-
eernber But if there is any truth, any prnc-
ticabl'ty, any justice in the principle OF fair

Of war IS not a condition OF things adapted 10 a
reduction OF the revenues, or a thorough and ST.
multaneous revolution of the business y-tem of
the country. We speak the opinions of an indie

are the first consderaton-and, not a hanger ON
upon party iavors we are fairly in the position
of an impartial exponent of public affairs. We
wish this Administration a far tia, and all the
merit 1t may deserve ; bur we cannot agree that
revolution of the finances and business of the
country is Imperative at this crisis, merely because

That the tariff of ~ 10 unequal in its extortions

bounties tn manufacturing interests, and unaeces-
sar ly so, is deliberate opinion but the ques-

holders, tax-gatherers, to the already stu pen
dous and dangerous patronage of the executive
department. This is the danger to be avoided.
But our letter is already expanded into an es

just now, We respectfully submit our gratiticat on

'nement of the tariff bill 10 the first Monday in
December next; and We say this an advocate
for thorough modification of the act of AZ, iu-
diciously, seasonably, and decently.
