WASHINGTON. June 9. 1876.

MEssRs. EDrToRs - There is a game going on
here To defeat the mod icaton of the tariff and so
leave the manufacturers 10 fatten upon spols for
two years longer: and the game is played ia sey-
under the guise of having for its object an early
adjournment. The motives which Instigate this,
and the way in which it is TO be in>iduon,y brought
about, well described in the Union. | shall not
be green enough to be caught in this snare, but will
vote against all propositions fixing day for adjourn
ment, until the tariff shall have been modified, till
the proposition for its modification shall have re-
ceved its quetus. | remember the fable which
| read in the spelling book at school, concerning
the cat which wallowed in meal, and lay down
for the rats to come to eat her, when she was
resolved to eat them. | see proposition to fix
very good, prudent, and economical, and very
agreeable to my personal wish, which leads TO
hasten home, for variety Of reasons--but behind
that proposition, the effect almost sure to follow
the means. Whether the proposition have an insidi-
ous an honest design, is Indifferent to me. The
proposition, | consider dangerous one. 1t will
require n month or more to pass upon the measures
necessary to carry on the war, and if the tariff be
acted upon, it will be in September before we adjourn
am anxious to reach home, to see our volunteers
before they march. The object design and effect Of
some propositions here, their face very friendly
TO them, ought to be unmasked to them, and to the
taxpayers, who foot our bills. When reach home,
will do that thing. In this hour of trial to the
Democratic party, and to my country, am resolved
to do right and hazard the judgment of those repre-
sent mean in reference to questions on which |
have instructions. Yours, truly,

1t is the line Of all the American statesman with
out exception, twenty and forty years ago. 1t was
the line Of Mr.. Canning in 1898. 1t is the line for
the rejection of which by Mr.. Pakenham without ref

and publicly, and in the face of the world expressed
regret 1t is line which we have never presented as
an ultmatum; which we have often proposed gently,
and which the British have often gently showed
aside, because they saw, from our own coctaneous
propositions that they could do better, and get the
VIII lie, at least for long time, under our own delu-
siye project of joint instruction But now oil this
gentle and delusve work is done with. The Joint use
Is to acknowledgements adynnce-and the question
must be settled now by reason and judgment, or it
will settle itself by chance and arms Forty-nine

ond half of the great maxim, SUBMIT TO NOTHING

ment upon that line.
Senators may now see the reason why, for twenty
five years, have adhered to the line of Utrecht. II
is the line of RIGHT which gives TO us the Olympic
district and It's invaluable waters, and secures to us
the river and valley of the Columbia. 1t is the fight

Mr. b. said that tomorrow they would in all prob
ability take up the bill supplemental the act prov-
ding for the prosecution of the existing between
the United States and the Republic of Mexico, and he
would conclude his remarks the following day, if
agreeable TO the Senate.

posed to the patriotic uprising of the people, and who
aided and strengthened the arm Of the enemy-as
|
dence voted against supplying the army with clothing
and provisions, and spent their breath in ceascless
clamor against their country, 30 there are men now
who would glory in the success of tie encmy's arms
who are nothing but wrong every side, who de-
nounce the war as unjust Oh our part; whose every
movement is opposed to their country, whose every
word is treason.
Resolred. That we ure ready to measure our
arms with Great Britain i'll sustaining our rights TO
Oregon, as with the weak and poweress nation of
Mcxico-and that while in both these contests we
llcvc our country to be clearly in the right we are
ready to prove by our deeds that respond at all
times to the sentiment of the gallant Decatur, ..Our
Conniry-right wrong."

the ability, prudence, and integrity of James Whit
comb, and pledge him hearty support for re-elec
ton TO the office of Governor which he has filled with
SO much credit to himself, and honor the State.

revise the constitution of the State, to curb the spirit
OF monopoly, to restrain extravaganza, and correct
abuses in the government, and prevent a recurrence
for years to come of the evils of debt under which
we are now laboring.

tariff, it will be by about the majority disclosed

give Pennsylvania 40 per cent on tleir iron, if they
would then vote for the bill. We night even give
them S7OO specific if they would for the bill.
But they want to make the iron duty to suit them,
and then they vote against the bill. See 'em in
Guinea first. guess we shall alter McKay's bill by
raising the duty wool to equal that on woollens,
and pass it by three to seven votes. No: i do not

Encouraging to Slave Traders.

As will be seen by the following announce
ment, another African slave trader has been
pardoneJ.
PAEDoNED by THE PREslDENT.-The y.
s. Marshall for the State of Maryland has
received the Presidents remission of the
fine, costs, &C., in the case Of Jason l., PEN
aLi0n, late master of the brig Monteyideo,
convicted in the District Court Of the United
States Of being engaged in the slave trade.
In all such cases Of illegal scoundrelism,
conviction and pardon now walk hand in
hand. We used to affirm that it was less
dislionorablo for the African slave.trader to
make a descent upon the native villages, con.
tend hand 10 hand with their inhabitants, and
risk the dlnger Of ocean tempest and of cap
ture, than for the American slave-trader to
stly at home in ease and safety and steal the
newborn babes Of Virginia and Kentucky.
But the foreign trade is now conducted with
but little risk. The pirate vessel has her
cargo brought to the shore, a good nom
market awaits her return, and if her com.
mander should unfortunately be cast into ar
American prison and convicted of piracy, the
President smiles sweetly on his fellow rob.
Der, and graciously extends The royal scep.
tire Of pardon to his brother beloved.

Elisha Ba,eS.

The query wa put to Elisha Bates some
weeks since in reference to his holding the
legal relation of wner to a slave, he has an
swered in substance as follows. Some years
since a person in Va. came into possession of
a female slave. As he could not free her in
accordance with its laws unless she left the
State, 4 person was selected in whom was
vested a deed of trust, which deed, accord
ing to Elisha, destroyed the chaltel princi-
pie SO far as the individual slave was con-
cerned, and bound the Trustee 10 emancipate
the woman and her PosteTity whenever she
chose 10 leave The State. The woman re-
sides there at this time as a free woman, and
Elisha who formerly acted as Trustee, has
had no connection with TIE aTlir for twenty.
nine years,
