The Defeat of the Protectionists--S -Senas
tor Hunter

The decision of the Senatorial caucus. ON
Saturday settles the tariff question in the
interest Of the free trade party.
We hear, without surprise, that the pro4
tectionists of Pennsylvania arc in state of
extreme Indignation. A leader among thenr
exclaimed, in the House of Representatives,
that he would never vote for n Southern man
as President-ond this person processes to be
a Democrat. From the same interest. VIC
hear many threats of retaliation, by reject
ing all the appropriation bills, and opposing
every cxpedient for raising a revenue exccpt
upon their own plan of specifics and prote5
tion. Their policy is to compel the callsofH
an extra session--the probability being thai
they may succeed with Black Republican
Congress.
On the other side, the friends of free trade
and economical administration are cxultant
over the action of the Senate caucus ,rhey
accept it as a guaranty of the triamph of
their policy. The Government will have no
choice but to reduce its expenditures to a
lcye, with its income. if Congress refuse to-
augment the revenue. An inconsiderable
loan will suffice for TIM public necessities.
until, by the gradual Increase of imports and
a gradual reform of abuses, the ordinary rev.
enuo of Government will be adequate to its
wants.
Great and deserved psaisc & s.r;ics1l CT e; e;
the Chairman of the Committee on Finance
i'll the Senate, for the inhexible frmness wish
which he has withstood the pressing mpor-
tunitios of the protectionists and the plunder-
ers. and the conspicuous ability With which
he has managed to rescue the Government
from the imminent peril of burdensome inn
posts and q redundant income In this con-
necton we may give an authoritative contra-
diction to the telegraphic report, that Mr..
Hunter declared himself, In caucus, indifler-
ent between specific and al pdlorem dutiese
In fact. he expressed no opinion whatever on
the suliect of specific imposts. The story
was incredible, since MIR. r.Hunter is distin-
Suished for the tedacity of his adherence to-
the Democratic doctrines of taxation in res<
