House met at 10 clock, and after the usual
morning business proceeded to the consider
alton of the Senate's amendm, mt to the tar
iff bill.
About 80 of the 16O amendments were ac-
ted on IN Committee of the whole, which, at
one o'clock rose pursuant to the previous or.
der, and the entire subject was reported to
the House.
Mr.. Sha,man urged the necessity of con-
curing in all the amendments, to many Of
which he was opposed, and under other cir
cumstances would vote against them. But

the bills, which is substantially the act Of
1917. When the present administration
came into power, the public debt was 20
millions with nearly 10 millions in the
Treasury hut new the Public Debt is &c
millions. The smallest possible amount the
Governm, mt can get alorg with for the next
fiscal year is SO millions 1t was a necessity
to pass this bill The House, then, on mo.
ton of Mr., Sherman proceeded to act under
the operation of the previous question on all
the amendments
The amendment imposing II cent per
pound on coff-e and on tea cents, with an
additional ten per cent, advalorum, was re-
jected 80 againt lat. Several gentlemen
made brief explanations.
All the amendments except that relating
to warchousing being acted upon.
Mr. Branch moved to adjourn, which was
ncgatived. He then moved to table the
warehouse amendment as test vote of the
bill. lost 43 against 101. All the Senate's
amendments except that taxing tea and cot:
fee were concurred in A committee con,
ference was appointed on this amendment.

unteer bill before the House, which will be

A card.

The undersigned announces to his Re.
publican friends, that he was at the Court
House on last Saturday us spectator, and
being urged to allow my name to be used as
member Of committee to call meeting,
irrespective of party to con,ert measures to
preserve the Union, demonstrated against
the proposition as being premature, and not
calculated to be productive of any good, in
view Of the short time intervening between
this and the inauguration Of Abraham Lin
coin. Being in favor Of some compromise to
settle the present difficulties, which will not
require the REIMBURSEMENT of any principle
enunciated in the Chicago Platform, l believe
the true policy Of the Republican Party is to
remain neutral, and let the Democratic party
hold as many Union-Saving Meetings as
their leaders may think necessary TO preserve
the memory of their party, and to institute
new issues upon which to conduct the next
State canvass. JONATHAN THOMPSON

Things to Remeunb her,

LIST. The condition Of things which so
distrcsses the democracy, and which they so
much desire to remedy by compromise, has
been brought about while they have had alb
solute control of the Executive and judicial
departments Of the General Government,
and uniformly an Overwhelming majority
in the Senate of the United States one
branch Of the Legislative Department.
I'd. Every traitor in the Cabinet at Wash
ington who has been compelled TO resign by
the pressure fpublic sentiment, was a dem.
ocrat and placed in position to accomplish
the mischief that he has done by a great
national democratic victory
Sd. Every State that has seeded is demo.
cratic to the core
4th. A Ship bearing alort the stars and
stripes-:he Flag of our Union, has been
fred upon by the acknowledged assent of a
democratic Governor off democratic State.
9th. Our money has been stolen, our
mints, arsenals and national arms have been
seized by democrat hands.
9th. When the Republican Party was de.
feated in 1856, not whisper was heard
from their lips threatening disunon, and not
On act performed by their hands to effect it.
9TH. In 1861 the Republicans stand by
the Union as it IS and the Constitution as
our fathers made it." They train in no
company shat don't cary the flag and keep
step to the music of the Union"
9Th. The Republican Party have marahed
steadily onward to victory under a volley of
abuse and threats, that ought to disgrace
bedam itself.
9th. In the year of Grace 1861, Dough
faces are just beginning to open their eyes
to the alarming fact, that the American peo-
pie cannot be scared out of the honest ex-
preston Of their political opinions by their
votes in the election of their public off GERS,
or the support of those oeficesrS with the
principles which secured their election.
