Important Debate on the Tariff

Noatgomery, March I, 1SGl.
There was an important debate on Sat
urday in the Confederate Congress on the
Revenue and Tariff questions. In the
course OF the debate, Mr.. TOombs said:
1T is important We should raise large
revenue in the beginning of our political
existence. We must provide for an army
and navy sufficiently powerful for the de-
Tense of our rights and liberties, and the
maintenance of our nationality"
Mr.. Barnwell, in reply, said:
II differ with the gentlemanin his views
of the subject under discussion. We can
very easily make large reduction in the
rates imposed by the tariff act of 1851"
Mr.. Miles said: 81 am opposed to tn"
existing tariff. The merchants of Charles
ton object to it. A duty of ten or fifteen
per cent. will be ample"

ACTION OF THE PEACE CoNFERENCE.-
Vote in the Senate.-The Peace Confer
ence on the 9th ult., agreed upon COM
promise. 1t was the plan of Mr.. Guthrie,
with some modification. 1t was sent in
by Ex-President Tyler, as President fthe
Conference, with a request that Congress
recommend it to the Legislatures of the
States. 1t is as follows:
In all the present territory of the Uni
ted States north of the parallel of SO deg.
80 min. or north latitude, involuntary ser
vitude. except in punishment of crime, is
prohibited. In all present territory South
of that line, the status Of persons held to
service or labor, as il now exists, shall not
be changed; nor shall any law be passed
to hinder orprevent the taking of such per-
sons to said territory, nor to impair the
rights arising from said relation but the
same shall be subject to judicial cognizance
in the Federal Courts according to the
common law. When any territory north
or South of said line, within such bounda-
~ as Congress may prescribe, shall con-
tain population equal to That required for
member Of Congress, it shall, if its form
of government be republican, be admitted
into the Union on an cqual footing with
the original States, with or without invol-
untfry servitude, as the Constitution of
such State may provide.
On this part Of the plan the majority of
both the Virginia and North Carolina
Commissioners voted agai ,st it. Missouri's
delegation WIS equally divided, as also
was the delegation from Kansas, conse-
quently neither of them voted. Upon all
the other branches of the propositions the
majority of the Indiana delegation took
the responsibility of voting in the afiirina-
tive, without waiting to consult their Leg
islature, as instructed. On the flst part
Of the proposition (Franklin's) they de-
clined voting. Illinois voted for it. New
York was equally divided at l o'clock.
The Conference adjourned sine DIE.
The plan was referred to a select COM
mittee in the Senate, by vote of 90 to u.
The affirmative votes were all Democrats,
with the exception of Mr. Foster, Of Con-
necticut, and Mr.. Baker. of Oregon. The
negative were all Republicans, save Sena-
ator Green, Of Missouri. Even Dir. Sew
ard voted against the reference.

ing, while the rain was pouring after
the style of a mill-race, and the night
as black as any contraband, the sound
Of a fife and drum aroused everybody
not already asleep. On investigating
the cause of the excitement, we didn't
wonder at the effect produced. Over
twenty stalwart pinery boys from Por-
tage and Marathon counties, with col
ors flying in the dark and drums beat
ing, Soaked. through to the hide mid
the cheers Of the multitude assembled,
drove up to the Grand Rapids House
and alighted, ready to do service at
moments warning, rain OF shine.
This addition swells the company to
the number required, or nearly so but
as some companies in the previous reg

not be accepted in this. So come on,
and you will be received and rendered
