Mr.. WEBSTER then rose and sair
Truly. sir. we are here this morning IN a
very strange conittnbttrr Of circumstances
The telegraph announces from Boston thu
tho steamer has brought information from
England, and that among tho last words Of
the late most distinguished First Minister
In England addressed To Parliament, was
the declaration that in England all eyes
were turned 10 see how the Congress Of
tho United States would arrange their now
tariff, pointing evidently to NJ expectation
or a hope that that now tariff, to which all
English eyes were turned. would be II
tariff more favorable doubtless TO English
interests, and English business, and what

If he has not seen these same floating

Mr.. CAMERON aaid he would answer
tho question Of the honorable Senator
with much pleasure. He, had attended Il
great number Of Democratic meetings per.

der 10 MD his fellow citizens In what he
considered the great catrsc of Democracy,
and at every meeting there was one or
moro of these flags. Before the death OF
the lamented Muhlenburg his name was
included, afterwards the notices were
"Polk," "Dallas," Skunk" and 'the Tar.
III o ls42." Aud while upon this topic he
would add, hat neither Of the three could
have got the vote of Pennsylvania without
being associated with the tariff of lsI2.
Much as they disliked Mr.. Clay, and
much as they were attached to Democracy,
all Other consideration would have sank
before the tariff of Is42.
