That the House Committee of Ways snd Means
is irrecopcilaby "quartered into three halves" on
the subject of the Tariff our readers already know.
Mr.. Phelps Of Mo (Chairman), with Mr. Phillips
of Pa, are in favor of moderate aud pretty uni
form increase of the present Ad Nalorem rates OF
duty; MessIs. Howard Of Mich, Morrill, of Vt.
(Re epublcaDs) aud Henry Winter Davis Of Md.
(Amer. J. desire a more decided augmentation OF
rates. with Specific Duties wherever they seem
practcabe while Messrs. Letcher of Va, Dow
dell of Ala and Crawford OF Ga. are opposed to
any increase whatever, preferriug to carry
on the Treasury by naked borrowing Mr..
Maclay Of this City is for one thing
or another, according to circumstances. But
we have never credited the story that this serious
difference of opinion would prevent the submission
Of any bin to the Houie. 1t was obviously the
policy of the Opposition Members, after presentiT
their own views in Committee, to unite N reporting
the ChaiYmans or some other bill for which ma
jority vote Of the Committee could thus be secured,
reserying their right 10 move and support amend
msE;; in Committee of the Whole, that we did not
and do rot doubt their taking that course. There
will be- must be- some sort Of Tariff bill reported IN
spite of TO DAYS fresh report of unharmoulzed diff
ferences in the Committee; and then We shall have
the whole subject fairly before the House. la
what precise form bill may be passed, We will not
assume to predict but some bill will pretty cer-
tainly be passed, and i. cannot fail to be decided
improvement on the present system. Even
Pheps's bill will be better than nothing; Phil
lps's good deal better. Let us have the best
bill possible now, and better one whenever We
may.
Our resderssdo not need any contradiction of
the report that the Republicans in Congress tacl.ly
oppose any action on the Tariff at this Session
We rsk nothing in affirming that every vote which
may be given on the subject VII show the fasitg OF
this inculp patton There are some Repubh ans who
are Free Traders, and these may be naturally eI-
pected to vote like other Free Traders; but at
least sesen-eishths of the Republicans in the two
Houses will 90 their utmost to secure a revision
and increase of the Tariff ST this Session Aud if
even one Republican, no matter of what school,
votes to borrow more Mllious, without making pro-
vision for the payment of the present Debt we
shall be sadly disappointed.
See the dispatch Of our special correspondent
setting forth the leading provisions Of the several
Tariff bills suggested in Committee Of the Whole
yesterday The Opposition prcja seems very
judicious one. Let every effort be made to carry

no bread. But no mere Loans, anyhow, except TO

The most permanent hold that man can have
upon the memory and gratitude of po,terlty is,
after all, the authorship Of Something that touches
the native feelings Of the heart, and expresses
with bIevity ard point the sentiments common to
the human soul in all ages and nations. Such al
author is felt as personal benefactOr by every one
who reads bis works. 1t is this which makes
Burns so great javorite, and which will keep IN
familiar remembrance the bert of MS poems, 10
spite of the provincial dialect 10 which
they are written, long after Byron and
Wordswortb, and the whole host Of the more re-.
cent English poets shall have fallen into the same
neglect and forgetuness with their predecessors oi
the reisps of Charles aid Of Anne. Even they,
however, will be familiar household names with
posterity long after the state.men and politicians
of their day shall have falrn INTO oblivion, or are
simply remembered as they have become associated
with the names or history of The poets. Who would
ever lave heard Of Macenas had It not been for
Virgil and Horace Aud how 7asty more familiar
TO the great body Of those who speak the Eogllsn
