We give up large portion OF our paper to-
day 10 The Tariff bill. Our readers will, We are
satisfied appreciate such an appropriation OF our
columns. They will be glad to study in detail
the great measure, which has been so fully and
ably discussed, and which the Republican party
have carried through such startling and, al one
time, almost fatal difficulties. The President and
the Secretary of the Treasury gave a powerful
impetus 10 the measure-lhe Representatives of
The people have done their duty in almost finishing
the work
The Lynchburg yirginian, (Whig,) speaking
OF The selections of general officers OF volunteers
under the late Law, says: ION The whole, We are
more than satisfied with these appointments OF
the President" Other Wing papers have io1nd
great fault with the same appointments, alleging
that they were made for political considerations

IL Is strange Wndl ulHeleHl ConSiuSiohS ais a.
rived al by different minds, operated on by VAIL
ous motives. The Wing says:
at seems TO US 10 be most unfortunate conci-
dence, thai BILL the tendency OF which IS 70 re-
duce US 10 state Of colonial vassalage-a Dill,
which finds its model and counterpart in The OPP
pressiye legislation OF The British Parliament,
while the States were yet appendases Oh 'he
British crown, and when British statesman de-
clared that it was the true policy OF the mosnel
country 10 prevent the manufacture even Vi d
hoh.nail in The colonies-it is, we say, most I'M
fortunate coincidence, that such bill should nave
been passed BY an American House 81 Repre-
senlatives on The eve Of the anniversary OF Anne
rican independence"
Now, The period Of the passage of the bill had
also crossed our mind, and we ielt directly the re-
verse senliments. II seemed 10 be most tortil-
nate coincidence, that bill which breaks the
,hraldom OF favored monopolies-which prnnes
down The injustice and oppression OF cass'es,s'
lation-which, 10 great extent, strikes OIL Inc
shackes from agriculture and commerce, ana al
lows each interest and each individual 10 pursue
his own business, without The mischievous inter-
meddling of Government, or the sacr'fce oil Inc
large majority for the benefit OF the lew-which
holds out the offering of peace ami good VIII 10
The nations of the world and invites them TO
fair and liberal interchange of commodities, and
to friendly and civilizing inlercourse-it is We
say, most fortunate coincidence, that such
bill "a declaration Of independence for the busI-
ness affairs of this country should have been
passed BY an American House Of Representatives
on The eve of the anniversary of American indie
pepdence We confess we had our fears for the
result We feared lest the overshadowins inter-
est of legislative monopoly might be strong
enough 10 arrest the movement Of The age, and
crush the popular spirit for fair and equal laws
We reioice that, at this suspicious moment, truth,
Justice and equality, have won The day, and struck
dnun the yassalage Of commercial restriction.

The National Inlelligencer advances violent
assumption, when j, looks upon The passage Of
the Tariff bill BY majority OF 10 votes as exhi-
biting combined effect OF Executive influence
and Party drill, against the undonbted acshes Of the
People" Ii endeavors TO excite popular prejudice
against the bill, by stating that "a duty of flcentv
per ec,st upon The r0lue has been laid upon The ar
tice of SALT, the most indispensable of all he ne.
ecssorits If life, withou, the daily use of which
the poorest man in the country would be unable
10 keep body and soul together"
The Inleigencer warmly opposed any modf-
cation of,he Tariff OF 1872 under which duty
OF eight cents per bushel, or from enc hundred 10
one hundred and fifty per cent. upon the value,
was imposed upon this 'most indispensable Of all
the necessaries Of life" Il will be seen which
bill regards most the interest Of "the poorest man
in the country" But suppose The Wings had IN
their endeavors TO defeat the bill, succeeded IN
putting salt on the free list We might well ASK
with the Union, Sin what manner can The wings.
who are so clamorous for The protection OF every
branch of industry, Justify themselves IN taxing
from salt manufacturers all protection and all
advantage, either direct or incidental, by virtue
of the Tariff bls?"

The American Tract Society held its twenty
first annual meeting at the Tabernacle,
yesterday morning. The house was very
well filled, and, as usual, there was large
proportion of the fairer part of creation-old,
young, passf, beautiful, and interesting. The
usual number of country clergymen sat upon the
platform, and the room had precisely the same
our recollection. A little after 10 o'clock, the
meeting was organised; and in the absence ofthe
President-the Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen-
john Tappan, Esq. of Boston, was called to the
chair. prayer was then made by Rev. DIR. Mil
