ported the same to the Treasury for payment
Fortunately, however, before the money was
actually paid, Congress interposed, AMI rescind
ed the resolution under which the Secretary Of
War had acted, and so defeated the consum.
nation Of this last act in the great swindle.
This last allowance Of $66,sO3.33 was made by
Floyd on precisely the same evidence that was

ance, not an iota of additional evidence hav.
ing been filed in the mean time.
A simple statement of these facts is sufficient
to awaken profound suspicion, to say the
least, that there must have been gross corrup-

it is impossible that these enormous allowances

THE MORRILL, TARIFF,

The exultation of the Democratic presses Of
the North over the embarrassments Of the Gov.
ernment, real and supposed, marks the sym.
pathy Of their conductors with the treason with
which the country is contending. These North.
ern allies of Southern secession, are true to
their old allegiance, although it is now not pat
ronage, but malignity, which makes them faith.
ful. When the dynasty of Toombs and jeff
Davis was in power, they were its dirty dogs,
licking their masters feet and, getting fat upon
the Joints of meat served out to them. They
are the same dogs now, no longer sleek, how.
ever, but bowling with rage because they have
been kicked out of the house by new propri
etors. They are not now barking for masters
who reward them, but they are barking in i'm.
potent malice at those, by whom their masters
have been dispossessed.
1t is the Morrill, tariff" which has been the
recent subject of their outcries.
If that tariff produces the effect Of reducing
the revenues of the United States, and Of trans
ferring commerce to the seeded ports, it is
not for them to complain, as both those things
are precisely what they desire to witness. And
in truth, it is the wish which is father to the
thought with them.
They have been contrasting the Morrill,
tariff" with what they have called the "liberal
tariff" of the Montgomery Congress. But it
turns out that the Montgomery Congress has
established no new tariff, deferring the subject
until May, and retaining for the present, the
general rates of the United States tariff of
1857.
Undoubtedly, these Northern allies of seces.
sion, would be very glad to have all the foreign
goods consumed in the United States, enter by
way of the Southern Confederacy, and pay du-
ties only to that Contederacy, but they will find
themselves disappointed in that innocent ex-
pectation.

secuted by every Wing Administration. The
consequences are plain. The Wing party is
dead. Democracy, though desperately wound.
ed still survives, and will recuperate, unless
every Democrat in office is supplanted BY true

they shall, and that these men shall not be dis.

how many good Republicans, equally competent

EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Thursday, March q, 1861.

After proceedings of little importance, the
Senate resumed the consideration of the reso.
luton of Mr.. Douglas, calling for information
in relation to the forts, &c.
Mr.. Bayard concluded his remarks from yes.
terday. He discussed the causes which led to
the withdrawal of seven States from the Union.
Among these, he said, was the formation and
triumph of a sectional party, recognising the
equality Of oil men, without regard to race,
and hostile to the existence of the institution
of slavery. Their ultimate purpose was 70 ex-
tinguish it by the indirect action Of the Federal
Government This purpose underies the
foundation of that party as he proceeded to
argue.
