WASHINGTON, Nov. IL.
Already before the erction week is over, we
see speculalions and Suggestions as 10 The policy
oil the Taylor administration. Some OF the
Wing papers urge, and the Union is delighted 10
anticipate, career o. folly and tanalicism "a
restoration Of The bank and The protective sys
tenn, and OF corrupt and mad log rolling system
OF internal improvement and crusade against
the institutions OF the SouIh. nave no doubt
there will be men in lac lhilty.firs Congress,
and there are those in this Congr So who would,
il they could, force such system OF measures.
The House OF Representatives in Inc thirty first
Congress will consisl OF large majority OF
Wings and Wilmot provisl men, but this will
not be The case with the Senate for three years 10
come.
Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens, member elect from
Pennsylvania, is pledged, it is said to introduce
a bill on the first day of the meeting of tho
thirty.frst Congress, to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia. If Mr.. Sterens does not
do this, some one else will. But his towering
talents and ambition will no doub. stimulate him
to put himself at the head OF the Free Soil
party. He will come here to take the wind out
of the sails of David Wllmot. Tho South will
be driven off therefore, from the support OF &c.
tralion. The effect will be TO force an alliance
Of all the Southern Senators VITA the Northern
Democrats, in opposition to the whole system OF
measures which The majority of the House in the
thirly-fr Congress moy propose The Senate
will continue 10 act on conservative principles,
defeating every change Of policy proposed BY
the House during both the thirty first and the
thirty. second Coneress-during the whole Of
6ret nd a.
as We need look ahead.
Gen. Taylor himself will take the position,
on all those subjects, of "maslerly Inactivity
How the While House is TO re-eslablish ne old
banking and protective improvement system,
can'l see. They may make war upon Inc other
two btanches-thfeaten, storm, and rage-oul
still they will be impoient. There is one Thing
that will come out OF the conflict, and lha! Is "a. a
tremendous Noflnern Free ooil aud protective
Tariff parry for the Presidential election OF 81
As 10 The Tariff during Gen. Taylor's Ad-
mnislrarion, | will venture 10 say that il will not
be essentially modified. have so doubt that
some changes will be made and ought 10 be made;
and possibly something will be conceded % The
PENNSYLVANIA iron and coal interests
| understand that Mr.. Walker himsefdoes not
anticipate any essential change oil his system by
The Taylor administration. He supposes that
The Senate will defeat any ultra measure, during
Inc thirty first Congress, and that the House, in
The thirty second Congress, being eleced under
the new apporionment Of representatives, accor-
ding the census OF 1850, will comprise larger
portion Than now oil the agricultural interests,
which interess WILL helhinks, become more and
more favorable 10 his low duy system.
As 10 internal improvements il IS cerlain tha'
they vii! be actively promoted 10 reasonable ex-
tent, by both Houses Of Congress and vi in the as
sent OF General Taylor.
