nae NEW TARIFF BILL.

We learn from the New Orleans Delta
that Mr.. Mckay, from the Committee on
Ways and Means, reported on the 18th inst.
the new Tariff bill. We doubt not, judg-
ing from the brief synopsis published in that
journal, that it is based on the principles Of
justice, and is such measure as the wants
Of the people demand 1t is framed solely
with view to revenue. "The idea Of
protection says the Delta" appears
to be entirely omitted andthe highest duties
are laid upon luxnries, which are not to
any extent manufactured in this country"

The Mobile Tribune of the llth announces the

sailed from Brazos on the morning Of the 9th inst,

On Sunday, the 5th the Fashion was boarded by
Capt. Nones, of the U. S. schooner Forward, and
left the following report:

THE DAILY UNION.

Benton, with his usual statesmanlike sagacity,
reminded the Senate, few days past, when the
question of adjournment was before them, that ths
steamer would arrive about the Sd Of August with
the exchanged treaty-and that Dssn il would become
necessary for Congress to Isgisiais for Oregon.
IL is impossible not TO see--now that the day OF
adjournment is fxed--that every hour Of the session
of both houses, before the 10Th of August, is filed,
and well filed, with most important matters. The
land bill and the warehouse bill, the constitutional
teasury--all these, well as the supreme measure
of the tariff are, with the bill for Oregon, yet wait.
ing for final action.
Rumors are abroad-rumors which we discredit
and repelthat some Of these great measures are to
be sacrificed. We will not believe however, that the
representatives Of the people, or the representatives
of the States, will so disappoint the hopes of their
constituents. But time presses, A vast amount of
business is yet to be despatched before the abors
Of the session close. The time for decided
action has clearly come. The hour OF protracted
debate and public deliberation seems well nigh
to have passed. The minds of men in Congress,
it is to be presumed, are now made up, and
their judgments fully formed upon the topics before
them Votes, rather than speeches, il Is TO be In
fered--perhups we may Aay it is to be hoped-wi
be the order and the business of the hour. The
country awaits with impotence the close Of each
days sitting to know what imporIaAs measure has
this day been finally passed. We cannot but hope
that the coming week will see more than one of the
great measures upon which the democracy of Con.
gress rallies, and to which the democracy of the
counry looks with anxious attention, brought to a
successful termination.

THE MEXICAN TROPHIES.

We had the pleasure of witnessing to-day the
presentation of the flags which were taken from the
enemy on the 9Th and 9th of Msy. They were
brought to Washington by Col. Payne and they
delivered to the President of the United States in
the presence ola multitude of officers of the govern
ment, and of the army, and ladies and gentlemen.
| The gallant colonel, who honored with this
| acceptable mission, was himself engaged in these
memorable scenes, and was wounded on the morn
ing Of the 9th in his hip, by muskct ball, which
has not yet been extracted from the vicinity of the
| spine For the satisfaction of his relations in Vir-
gina, and his numerous friends everywhere, we are
happy state that his general health is good; and
that he is attered with the hope of recovering the
full use OF his limbs at no distant period. The fol-
lowing is his address to the President of the United
States: ..'"#
"Mr. PRESIDENT Under the direction of my
commanding general, am the honored instrument,
land here take occasion to express my thanks for
the distinguished compliment,) of presenting to
your excelency these trophies ofvictory, won in
the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. 1t
is not in tho spirit of triumph defeated, and,
must say, gallant enemy that they are presented on
the part of the army but rather in conformity with
usage to crafty popular curiosity, and as some ev
idence that the soldiers of the republic have done
| their duty"
The President received the flags, ances, &C., with
The feeling which became him. They almost
all OF them torn by cannon ball or musket bullets,
and the Stalls of some Of them have escaped the
fortunes of war. Not having time to-day to inspect
