From Washington.

WASHINGTON Jan. 29.-The Democrat
Senators held caucus this morning on
the subject of the tariff.
Mr.. Hunter, of Va, offered resolution
declaring it inexpedient to change the law
at the present session.
Mr.. Bigler proposed to substitute as fol-
lows:
ResolUed, That the revenue being in.
sufficient to meet the expenses of the Gov
eminent, it is wise and expedient to in
crease the import duties to meet the def
cheney.
Mr.. Bigler's substitute was voted down
and Mr.. Hunters Resolution was adopted
by large majority.
Mr.. Slidell thereupon offered a resolu-
ton, which was adopted, that it is the du-
ty OF Congress to look rather to the re-
duction of expenditures than to the in
crease of the revenue.
There twas much excitement during
these proceedings, during hich Mr.. Hun.
ter expressed the opinion that with the
revival of business, there would be sufi-
cient revenue for the purpose of the Gov
eminent.
Mr.. Bigler, it is understood, spoke of
the suffering industrial interests, and urg-
ed an increase of the duties. He said the
public debt was now sixty four millions,
and it would be a hundred millions by
the Both of June, 1860, without the thirty
millions proposed to be added to the for
eign intercourse fund looking to the pur-
chase Of Cuba.
Messrs Toombs and Benjamin were
willing to favor specific duties on the great
staples, but against attempting any at the
present session.
Mr.. Iverson, of Ca, favored an increase
of the tariff as absolutely necessary.
While not favoring specific duties, he
would be willing to give thirty per centum
on iron.
Mr.. Douglass of ILL.,, thought it was i'm
portant that the Democratic party should
settle its policy as to whether it would ia.
vor specific or advalorsm duties.
Mr.. Hunter, of Va, replies that all
seemed to agree on the policy that the ia
riff should be for revenue, but that the
mode OF assessing the duties was not q
party test.
Mr.. Fitch, Of Ind, acquiesced in this
view, remarking that the Senatorial Dem
ocratic caucus, while held for conference,
never sought to bind men to vote for its
measures.
The result of the caucus caused much
excitement among the members of Con-
gress and others.
The President will probably send mes
sage to Congress early next week showing
deficiency of $4,000, 900, and urging
the necessary arrangements to relieve the
Government from the prospective financial
endorsements, reminding Congress that
only four weeks are remaining Of this SEES
sion.

s@- In the Senatorial tariff caucus
there was mixture Of opinion. considering
that democracy is national, and unit
Bigler urged an increase of duties in view
Of the heavy national debt, and the
depressed condition Of manufactures
Toombs and Benjamin, we're willing TO
favor specific duties on the great staples,
bat not noto. Iverson, of Georgia, didn't
favor specific duties, but was willing to 60
thirty per cent on iron. There were other
shades of opinion, but these will suffice
to show the harmony, as well as the states
manship, of democratic leaders. To the
foregoing, we ought to have added the
elaborate opinion of our neighbor, as set
forth on Wednesday; but not being sure
that we understand him any better than
he understands himself, we concluded to
pass it by.

Mr.. EDITOR On Friday night last,
we, in common with the public, had the
pleasure of attending the "Soiree" of vo-
cal and instrumental music at the "Clarks-
vile Female Academy" Although we
do not profess to be connossieur of the
divine art, yet we know that there were
many in the audience who were, and that
the exercises of the evening were highly
appreciated by all the lovers of music, at
the same time, affording practical demon
stration of improvement in the young
learner, as we'll as proficiency of those
farther advanced, without any effort of un-
necessary, or fictitious parade, which re-
fleets the highest credit on the efficiency Of

the practical improvement of the scholars,

ing pleased, and the company generally
We do not expect to add much to the

together, with the assistance of the ac

ber The Washington Union bitterly
denounces all who oppose the thirty mil
lion bill. If that sum is asked for to
bride Spanish authorities, every honest
man ought to oppose it; but if it is needed
as an electioneering fund, evsry democrat
will go for it, provided the object is made

pie ought to hold to q strict responsibility

administrator OF federal and State gov
ernments.
And what are the remedies for these
evils; The FIRST steps must be--the re-
striction Of the right of suffrage to those
who have an interest in the government,
based upon property; repeal of the
naturalization laws, and the abolition Of
the elective judiciary. There was a time
when property qualification for voters
existed in every State in the Union when
alien suffrage was unknown, and the
judiciary was placed out Of the reach Of
popular prejudice. Then the laws and
the constitution were respected crime
was punished, and public morals guarded.
Then, let us return to that periOd--it is
the only remedy.

S9- If we had the space, it would give

s6r IF we had the space, it would give
us pleasure to publish Gen. Zollicofer's
able minority report on the bill for the
admission of Oregon. He takes the
ground that no State should be admitted
without population equal to the then
existing ratio of representation, and
asserts that, of the nineteen States ad-
mitted, Florida is the only one that had
not such population, and that, in her
case, there was a sufficient population at
the time she petitioned, but six years after,
when she was admitted, it had been re-
duced below the standard by the Indian
troubles. No man, who calmly reflects
upon the subject, will deny the force of
the objection, and every principle of
justice and equality demands that no such
advantage should be given to the new,
over the old States as that contemplated
by those who would admit Oregon, or any
other Territory with a population below
the ratio of representation.
Gen. Zollicoffer also takes ground
against that clause in the Orgon bill which
authorises unnaturalized aliens to vote for
the members of the Legislature. Not
only is this provision violative of the
spirit of the Constitution, but of the very
letter of that clause which gives Congress
the power to adopt a uniform system of
naturalization. To be uniform, the system
must apply equally in States and in Terri
tories, and any provision made for the
latter, that does not bear equally upon the
former, is unconstitutional and therefore
void, Democracy, to swell its ranks, is
ready to set aside laws and Constitutions,
and for that very reason, every true patriot
should the more firmly resist all innova-
tions so peculiarly calculated to build up
despotism of numbers to crush the rights
Of individuals and minorities, and ultima
tely to overthrow the Republic.

eSsr On the 22nd ult., resolutions were
read, in Congress, calling for such a
modification of the tariff as would not
only increase the revenue, but afford ample
protection to the productive intrests of
the country, and especially to coal and
iron. Mr.. Mcqueen, of Louisiana, q
democrat, enquired whether such was a
part OF the Cincinnati platform to which
Mr.. Montgomery, . democrat, replied that,
substantially, it was. As no one denied
this statement, the fact goes before tbs
country, that the democratic party-as it
was represented at Cincinnati-is in favor
of protective tariff. But we have still
other proof of the fact. The States
charges that the Union has gone over to
the protectionists, and to substantiats the
charge, makes the following summary of
the Unions argument 1.-The federal
system is an expedient aud benifcent in =
stitution; as the rates of impost are in
creased, the Union is strengthened, and,
conrerso, as the duties are diminished
the Union is impaired; consequently it
is the part Of wisdom to maintain high
tariff and redundant treasury"
However absurd these views Of the
Union may seem to the unrehecting, we
are satisfied that direct taxation-a call
upon each State for its quota to support
the federal Government, would go far to
weaken the bonds of Union, by creating
general disaffection, and bitter sectional
feeling-growing out of the different
modes CT assessing the taxes, in the North
and the South, under that provision Of
the Constitution which relates to the
enumeration of slaves, in the event Of
direct taxation.
