Congress Critical State Of 4Gdrs-A Pdi1ha"
Shot erp,cted from old Bullion against the Ns~
Tariff Bill.
We are in a critical state. Never more so. The
schedule of administrative measures are three
sheets in the wind, viz, the warehouse, tho tn
riff, and the land reduction bills. We are in
tight place-we are in a bad box-we are in di-
lemma--we are in di6iculty-we are in trePida-
ton; in short, as a member declared to-day in
our presence, eve are in the d-dest sort Of a
dificulty,"- the reader will excuse tho OK
pleve.
First of all, there is the land bill. The House
have whitfield it all away. The Senate will NOS
concur in the amendment. Mr.. Calhoun says he
won't dot is insufficent-it is poor apology,
and he won't have it. The chances are, there
fore, that that bill IS lost. -
Secondly, there is the warehousing bill. Nwiu
probably pass as it is. Goods to be stored one
year-a bond to be required for the duties, IN
double the amount of the goods in store Did
you ever hear Of any thing so pre-emnenty n
diculous-so egreglously absurd Inc ausa ma
ges calculated from the bill are evlscerated, eau
terized null and vod--its not the bill OF the ad-
ministraton-t is not Mr.. Walkers bill, nor Mr..
Dxs bill, nor Mr.. Calheun's bl-it IS M. Clay
toms bll-it is John Davis's bill-it is hunting
TOMS bill-it is a wing bill, forced upon demo-
cratic Senate, through inevitable circumstances
We are cornered, headed, circumvented, at eve
nv turn--we are in great trbulation-we are sur
rounded as old lack was by the Mexcans We
are in the chaparrals-supphes cut on-muuny
in the camp, our munitions expended, ana on
short allowance. :,
In the third place-Hear oh We people-n the
third place. We speak ike St. Paul, as one hav.
ing authority we claim the function apostolcalI
we speak with tears in our eyes. We have lost
Cameron and Sturgeon, and Niles. they are
gene over. They are inevitably in the ranks Of
the enemy. They are against us. Cold iron,
"Ah me what pers do environ,
The man who NEEDLES with cold iron.'
Hudibras said so. We say so. Cameron says so;
Sturgeon springs ten feet out OF The water and
says so. Hunah for Sturgeon! But what does

What doe. Old Bullion say! He says nothing.
He is anxiously, forebodingly, obviously,

gentleman from Missouri informs us tonight that

be looked for from old Bullion against the aru
bill from the House. Mr. Benton goes for a free
importation of salt. He is supposed to have been
at the bottom of Hungeriord's bill rotwithstand-

He is the main stay of Mr.. Van Buren, he mas
