The bill, if.not all we desired, tits, as..ws
have before said, an important one in tho
existing state Of things, and q blow as tho
great monopolists Of the land. Al such,
we accept it, especially as its odious features
we're stricken out, thanks to the firmness of
the democratic members from this state.
We hail it as the precursor Of something
better-as the first step in the right patk.
1t will go hard, il, in better days, We do not
improve upon IFS provisions. The wings
may rest assured that this is only the com
meDcement Of our operations. We take
what we can get now, in the full reliance
that we shall be able to obtain more ii no
very distant dny. The course Of freedom
is onward.
The bill has to pass the ordeal Of tile
Senate. What will be its fate in that con.
servatiyely inclined body, we cannot say:
but we are inclined to think it viii meet
with success, perhaps afier some amend.
ments Of no very important character.
The following are the remarks Of the
Union on the subject
"This bill speaks for itself; and in facr,
we have no time to analyze it's provisions.
Let us state, however, rs its proud and dis.
tinguished characteristic, that il is rxseasse
bill, tonnded on tie I'D paiorsni spriineipls.
and that it totally repudiates the ,min,msssss
principle, end all specific daties. Wecan
also state, in the general, from the best aa.

on an average Of all its varieties, and abol.
ishing all its minimum principles ct least

is at least 10 per cent, and 50 on with 9th.

When we entered the hall today, about
| o'clock, we found the House deciding 10.
on the different amendments which had been
made yesterday In Committee Of the whole.
They wereupon the salt tax. The effort
was making BY the wings, &c, 10 place salf
upon the free list, with aview of confirm.
ing the amendment Of the Committee Of
the Whole, which had abolished the boun.
ty on the fisheries. The calculation Of
the wings was, that if salt was made free,
and the fishing bounties abolished, the for.
mer might lose some Of the democratic
votes from New York, and the latter mieht
lose theseyen democratic votes Or Maine
and thus the whole bill might Be defeated.
This seemed to be the gist Of the MATER
