The ebony line is looking up to-day. A docu-
ment in Its favor, from the New York Colonization
Society was presented TO the Senate to-day. Also,
a memorial in its favor, from the Constitutional
Convention of Ohio, signed by three-fourths of its
members.
Mr. Benton offered a bill in the Senate to-day.
to donate to the State of Missouri, two per on
all the proceeds Of the sales of the public lands in
Missouri, for school and other purposes, which he
contends that State is entitled to- but has not re-
ceived.
Mr. Clay hoped the bill would be laid aside until
tomorrow, when he would be prepared to show
that not one cent was due to Missouri. from the
general government. So we may expect an intel
lectual brush tomorrow, from two opposing giants.
The House has been on the def cheney bill again
to-day, in Committee of the Whole. Speeches
were made against and for the manner in which
the public business is done in the Executive de-
par.ments.
Among the schemes now pushed here, there Is one

iron, coal, worsteds and woollens, but not on cot

Levin. the member, DR.. Eckhar ex-member from
Pennsylvania, and Mr.. John +. Tucker, President
of the Reading Railroad. On the other hand, the
New England Interests, in the tariff line, are now
represented here by Messrs. James Read and
Amos Tenney, of Boston, who will have, in day
or two some Rhode Island manufacturers to co.
operate with them.
These New England Gentlemen insist that if the

Mr. Buchanan, late Secretary of State, has arriv-

WASHINGTON, Jan. q, 1851.
The Ia,i8 Question: end the House of Reprssssta-
ttves-Party Movement ~ the Matter-Hom-
James Bueha~a~-7he Adm,mistratto~, &c.
A few days will now bring to light the move
ment which has been Matching, with regard to the
tariff. Mr.. Strong, of Pennsy lvania, democrat,
has agreed to offer, as an amendment to the def
cheney bill now before the House, a resolution
giving an additional duty on iron and some other
articles. The matter has not yet been definitely
decided on, so that it is impossible TO say how far
it will 60. Ii will probably try to include home
valuations and the 6xation Of duties upon the az
gregase value of different articles during the past
four years.
The wing party generally do not ike the conces-
sions which the democrats are willing to make
such as an increase on iron alone. They regard 1t
in the light Of ga tub to the whale" thrown
merely TO stave off an issue upon the subject, and
afiording temporary and inefficient relief to but enc
o oTsn S o. home industry. good many Of the
that by making an invidious distinction for iron,
and letting other articles 60, they may be able to
create division in the wing ranks, the New
England wings perhaps not going with their Penn
sylyania friends when they md their own interests
neglected.
IL Is undoubtedly true that the great mass OF tho
wings in Congress, although they may vote for any
measure which looks to a change in the present
tarifi, woald infinitely sooner prefer defeat the
passage OF a mere temPor'zing measure. The de-
fects in the act OF 1876 become more glaring by
time and the friends of that are apparently
opening their eyes to the fact and are willing 70
patch IL up before the rent gets 20 large as 10 re-
qulre entirely new cloth.
The Hon James Buchanan'is here; 90 is ex- Gov
Marcy. They have no idea OF permitting the Pre-
sidenial movement for 1852 10 be worked M
without their having finger In the pie What
ever the people may do, the old hunkers, the wire
pullers, the politicians, have intention of break
ing up their old party organizations. All demon
sratons to the contrary will be crushed in the bud
Mr.. Turney's bill, in the Senate, for the amend
ment OF the existing patent laws, will unquestion-
ably pass Congress this session. The manifest
fairness Of requiring the same publicity should be
given to applications for an extension or reissue
OF patent as the law now requires should be given
upon the original application, is generally conceed-
ed whilst the provision for the repeal, by sctrs
faeids, OF patent improperly illegally granted,
is now being understood in its true light as pro-
lection TO the public and the honest inventor
against fraud, enabling the judicial tribunals OF the
country TO act as check upon the NAL ad ministra-
ton, whether by mistake or otherwise, Of the Pa
tent Office.
