The New Tariff.

The Tariff Bill passed at the close of the
session combines the sliding scale; with an en-
larged free list. Some Of the highest scale of
old duties is brought down to 80 per cent. the
others down to 20 per cent. The old scale Of
thirty per cent is brought down to 2f per
cent, tue old % per cent is made 10 per cent,
the twenties are reduced to fifteen, the fifteen
to twelve, the ten to eight, and part Of the
old fives to four per cent. This is an impor-
tant reduction, and will have material inhu-
ence upcn our importations, and will be scri-
ously felt, upon our own industry; and We
fear its disastrous effects will be developed in
the course Of a year, upon the state Of our
currency AMI prosperity. Our imports will
be increased under its operations, and our
specie will go to pay for them. and as our
capital departs, our own labor will anguish;
and revulsion will follow. IL the revenues
were to be diminished, it would have been
better to have enlarged the free list on articles
we cannot produce. in quantities for our own
supplies; and to have raised the imports on
such articles as we can supply in abundance,
to rate, that would have amounted to pro
hibition, and thereby have cut of the reve-
nues from them. Hemp. sugar, iron, and lead
all placed in thee same category, and all re-
duced to 81 per cent. Cotton goods are
brought down to "a per cent. The Bill was
not printed, and there was little chance for its
due consideration; many members did not un-
derstand its provisions and its probable opera
tons, and voted on the faith Of the cxplana-
tons made by tie members Of the Committee
who reported it, and their assurances that al
was right. 1t was "ade up late in the after
noon and rushed through, after being read at
the clerks table on the day it was reported.
1t passed in the House by vote of l2l to II.
The Senate agreed, 80 to 8. The late Con-
gress was not composed of men competent to
act wisely upon SO important measure with
so little consideration. Its effects will soon
be felt and the country may be brought to feel
that it would have been better to have had
S40,O00,OOO locked up lille in our subtrea
uries, than to have a hundred millions sent
out Of the country TO France and England
never to return.

snTHE OVERLAND MAIL TO CALIFORNIA
The recent ILL passed by Congress author
ICES the Postmaster General to contract for
carrying the mail on either of the wagon
roads established by the government over the
plains, from the frontier post in Kansas and
Nebraska. to California, either monthly, semi
monthly or weekly. There are parties ready
toitaks the contract at the prices stipulated;
and there are prospects that it may at once
go into operation. 1t is predicted, with con-
idence, that these overland mails will super
scede the sea route; and that in few years
they will run daily, and DO the precursors OF

CT The weather on the coast Of Newfouni-
land, has been in singular contrast with the
season, in more Southern ATTITUDES. Fisher
men, who have returned to Boston, from the
shores of Newfoundland, state the weather
during the whole month Of January, was so
mild that fish lay several days on the decks
of vessels unfrozen, and that they were oblig
ed several times to salt them to preserve them;
and the thickest ice they saw in inIe.s and
bays. did not cause much obstruction to row.
ing boat through it. The coolest weather
they experienced was in December, Off the
coast of Maine, when the thermometer fell to
deg. below zero for few hours only.

A Duel.

The Brook vile, Indiana, American, of last
week, gives the particulars of duel that was
reccatly fought near Cedar Grove, IN that
county. The parties were a drunken doctor
and dogsery keeper who had refused him
liquor. Deemins his honor wounded. the
spirited son of Ksculapius invited the Offend
or to mortal combat. The challenge was
promptly accepted. and arrangements were
Immediately made for the fight. The wcap-
ons chosen were rifles, and the distance forty
PAGES. The first fire was Intellectual. Al the
second fire, the liquor seller dropped. appa-
rently dead, or dying The doctor hastily left
the field, bid a hurried farewell to his family
and friends, mounted horse and left for parts
unknown. 1t subsequently turned out that
the wounded man was not hurt, the seconds
in the affair having humanely neglected to
load with ball. The doctor is still absent from
home.

o. The levee and business streets Of ST.
Louis, are SO crowded with the vast throng OF
vehicles and people rushing hither and thllher
under the impulses Of pressing business, that
loalers and idlers have been entirely crushed
out; and no one that cannot bear, at !sas: FOR
ty pounds pressure to the inch, is sa.,, or can
make any Roadway in the current. This dan
gerous inundaton Of trade and traders, has
occurred, notwithstanding the upper Missis-
sippi and tributaries are still closed 10 nav
isa,ion. II they should suddenly open and
let out their floods OF hungry buyers,it is fear
ed, the city will be completely overwhelmed,
and every thing in the shape Of merchandise

such calamity.

o. Gov. Wright is now the object OF the
most virulent and indiscrminatc abuse by the
press Of both parties; the Republicans natu
rally indulge in it from old antipathies and
prejudices; the Democrats from a design to
break down his influence with tho people; and
who fears him; and hates him, because he is
an object OF fear. Governor Wright's strength
is with the people-Bright is the potentate OF
the politicians, who support him as the chief
Of their band, from motives which induce
subordinates in every conspiracy to stand by
their leader. They are a mercenary crew;
and their aim is office and public plumber. -
Gov Wright loves Office for the vanities Of
its honors, and has been guilty Of many ter
givisations to obtain it; but he has one virtue
that covers a multitude Of sins; he is pecun-
arily incorruptible. He has been in associa-
ton with men-now his defamers-who have
grown rich in tn, purlieus Of political corrup
ton and venality; he had but TO accept his
share Of plumber as a silent accomplice to
nave Hiicu Ills pocNeIS. Dul bitcT dispensing
the patronage Of the State for eight years,
he retires to private life as poor as the Vicar
Of Wakeficld-as moneyless as when he was
charity student a. the University. This sim
pie fact is shield against all calumnes; for
this virtue alone. in this reign of mercenary
dcmaSoSuesm, the people should uphold him.
lie is unpurchasable; the corruptors have not
yet found his price. The Bank could not buy
him, and the politicians are determined to
crush him. Let him appeal to the Democrat
ic masses, TO the interrupted farmers-rank
himself with the true, honest and conserva-
tive men Of all parties who are gathering to-
gether to correct the gross abuses Of the past,
aud he will triumph over all his betrayers and
ASSISTANTS. The simple strry Of the treach-
cry Of his false friends---thc bogus leaders of
Democracy-will cover them with infamy.

The Legislature.

In the Senate on Friday evening. the bill
for the protection OF foreign Insurance Compa-
mics was lost. The vote stood % ayes, 20
noes, not quite constitutional majority
The bill enabling Railroad Companies to
change their lines, &c, was reported back by
the Committee. and the bill was made sup
elemental to the charter OF the Evansville and
Charlottesville Railroad Company, so as to al

it terminate at Attics instead Of CrawEords-
vile. The bill was passed. Yeas SO nays 5.

vas taken up and passed. A resolution was

back to the people for decision. The vote on
this amendment was not announced as Scna-

The Senate then came to dead lock-" as
heretofore, and the whole afternoon and even
ing was spent in an angry debate, and amount
were in keeping with all that had gone before,
and at O'Clock Sunday morning, the Senate
adjourned to meet Monday at O'Clock A. NJ.

of the members Of the Senate the House Tenn
perancc bill, the bill to raise the revenues, to
pay the interest on the public debt. and sus-
tain the government, support of the bcnevo-

feated as nothing would be done ON Monday.
Consequently there is no appropriation, for
the payment Of judges, jurors, for sustaining
the execution OF the criminal laws, or for the
payment OF the salaries Of any OF the eXecu
tive officers, or for support Of the blind, dea!

on the State debt must remain unpaid, and

is brokenup and the people are LEI. to their
own guidance.
In the House the memorial OF the stock
holders of the w. & +. Canal was presented
and ordered to be printed. The memorial
does not ask for any specific RELIEF, but leaves
the whole subject with the people OF the State
The House did not transact any business o

enacted then.
