 What, is now the enquiry, will the House do fl Colquitt's or Clittenden's amendment passes the Senate3 "Why, sir, we will lay itupon the table and leave the people to place their judgment upon the aet'' This is the answer, which have re- ceiyed from the friends of the notice in the House .sBnt, Sir is not the amendment of the Senate cal culated to obtain all the Whig vote and the Cal hona Democratic vote, and will not this carry the anendment:o sUnequivocally, NO!" Let the plain taic be told. That notice of the House which is now lingering, like Ralias GAias, ia tie Senate has attached to 1t. resolution, which was placed there fer charitable uses. It states that nothing in the notice shall be so construed as to prevent the continuance of negotiations. The benefit of this clause was for those Democrats who had formerly taken an honorable stand on the Fexls question, but from errors ol judgment differed on the Oregon boundary. They were thus enabled to vote for the notice consistently with their previous opposition, and thus save their credit and reputation before the people. IL would be too great stretch of favor, then, after this liberal spirit of magnanimity, to | permit an amendment to be made like Senator Crit ten1ens or Colqaitts, which takes from Congress all responsibility in giving the notice, and makes the Prcsidentof the United States Hehead and ffoM af o,a offaliag We thought the back door had been opened wide enough to let in our friends, who were afraid of walking in at the front door, ta 10 De compelled 10 take He btc door ouF2eres in order to gratfy them and eonnive at their inconsistencies is too great sacrifice of principle to be either wise or polite
 ltis the wish of the whole Union that this notice should be passed, and pass it will, not as q mere advisory resolution for the discriminate regard of President Polk bat as the will of Congress that the notice be positively given. This is the desire of the President. IfCoagtess had no power to co-op crate with the chief magistrate in prescribing the time and manner of giving the notice, the President would nol have waited all this time for mere ad- yisory resolution, but have discharged tearlessy, his daty to his country, and given the notice him self What is the worth of an advisory resolution that dreaas responsibility at the moment when ey- cry department cf the government should be one entire impenetrabe phalanx, without single ap- erturc of dsa.feclion 10 show how the enemies spears may be directed, to divide our countrymen and destroy their political power for the protection and safety of the commonwealth Could all our citizens individually represent the feeling of each n3toh Ill lit CtNlAlHCQ tpucs dS tiitl NNtt btot'' the chief magistrate of our republic dissolvnS a connection with a naughty and powerful rival, un- supported by the essential will of the people, as t might be givenby Congress, and how wretched and miserable the weakness-what abiect seryility- would they find in this ominous event! What man woul6 not scorn picture of such vile turpitude!
 hear many rumors regards the iate of the ta- riff bill The bill of Mir. Walkeris truly arevenue bill, and this is the maiu-it is the only reason why it is opposed. We must have some protection for iron, and some liHle for wool and some laile for salt We must have some te,o specific duties; for. is the continual cry, we wont g Pennsylvania to go with us-New York Sc, We wont pass a tariff bill This is all huabQg. 1tis misfortune that We have Democrats of weak nerves in Congress- They should never be sent here. Free genuine democracy, likes that good round, bold NO, when quasi measures arc before Us for our votes. When poor Charlotte Corlay was arraigned for the murder of the bloody Nlarat. ,I killed one man." she said in loud clear voice to The bench that overpowered in deadly silence every tongue around her, o save hundred thousand william to save innocents- beast, to give peace 10 my country" So would l say in my vote against protective tariff none the less odious because may be less protective than lSt2. "No I killed the monster monopoly, thai the labofng many might not be sacrificed to the few killed the protection of capital, to the pro- lection of labor-lled hydra headed beast that for the manss ofMammon, would divide our union in blood, not only that ny country might enjoy peace but that its fair escutcheon should hang out before the world as pure and without reproach, as our ia thers who placed il there, andwhose souls are now watching down from the nights of fheayen upon their sons, alone to save the banner.
