WASHINGTON, June 30, ISi6.-An importau.
movo has developed itself in the House of Rep.
reson:a,ves to-day. Mr.. Brinkorhoh sounded Ito
dcath-knell of the Administration bill to reduce
tho tariff! IL was like gaIvanic shock tho
frcct radcrs' Tho coqncn. and eccentric Holmes
of South taroiina, could not suppress tho cjacu-
lntlon that ''thc Democracy of Ohio bad struck
for higher wages" Othors took up tho cry which
IN less than n hours time rang under tone
all through tho Had! 1t was known that tho \.
York members of tho dominant party could
and would not support Mr.. Walkers bill! Bui
until SIR BrnkerhoT made tho declaration and
attacked the Administration and lis oiiic al organ,
i, was not known tina, tho Locofocos Of ONO
would join those of New York, aud thus detcnt
tho bill framed oborousy by 'Sir Robert
Walker Several Southern gentle nen have de-
sired me 10 write 10 my tariff renders that thoy
may quiet their fears, for the prcscn, tariff
will not he mo'o>tcd! | comply with their re-
quest. Thor declaration, made under n state Of
eXcitemcn; and chagrIn. must be taken, IL
ncctlon with tho developments TINT have been
made. for what IL Is worth.
But the announcement of Mr.. Brinkcnhoff
not all that took pinco IN tho House to-day The
shape Of spremonitory symptom of The Storm
that is about 10 ovortake and rcnd in twain tie
Locotoco party. Mr.. ancey, III behalf,
the part of tho Southern wing, replied 10 Mr..
Brnkenhofi. aud mot him moro than half why IN
the work Of sundoring the ties which have bound
this great party together. Boldly and icaressly
he denounced the lack of prnci pie manifested by
the Northern wing of his porty on tho question of
! Internal Improvements; declaring his preference
for MIR. Gays single principle that subject. 10
the shutting. dishonest medley of tenets prac
ticcd by those of his party tho North. who pro-
fcsscd 70 DO Democrats. I1o denounced the
sympathy which existed between the seifstylcd
..Domocrats' md nboliionisn. Iio denounced
tho caucus and convention system rs corrupt. and
said no caucus nomination Of candidate for tho
Presidency would ever again bind tao South 10
It's support. md for the conduct o: a certain
portion of his party, no warned them. tina, time
would come when injuries would be revcnged,
when justice would be mcted out. For himself,
he had ambition for political distinction. Vol
unta rIly lie should Ieavo Congress, and he asked
for no appointment, whatever. a, the hands Of tho
Administration. But the principles which he
prolesscd he would stand by. and would oppose
all who wonld not also stand by them. Those
principles wcro aniagons.ical TO many of those
pracilscd upon by portion 81 his party.
I do not pretend TO givo Mr.. iancoy's language;
but all that he said, and the ccason on, and tho
manner in which ii said, cIca rIy To- show
tha. he for moro than willing that The
democratic party should be broken up, root and
branch-iho quicker tho better!
assure you this sentiment ran rio. in tho Hall
OF the House Of Representative to-day. Tho
administration is wofully out Of favor, as we'll
with its own party with the w hgs. Every
thing ii does, every step il takes is complained
of and denounced on all hands. A tremendous
reaction must take place. or Mr.. Polk will sadly
miss being run for reelection after all !
and this brings Mr. Folks recent nominations
