The morrill, TARIFF creates intense excite
ment In manufacturing circles on the other side
of the Atlantic The English and French papers
received by the last steamer, inveigh loudly
against ii The London Times, among others,
virtually threatening that England will make 1t
the ground Of recognition of the legality Of the
usurpation Of the Oligarchy. like tone per-
vades the comment of the French papers upon the
subject.
While we have no idea that any such recogni-
ton will take place in the face OF protests of This
Government, II Is evident that EEe MorrlI iarIn
s destined greatly to cOmplicate for us the other
and far more important question. II England
and France combine 70 our secession Inn broglio
to superinduce the repeal Of The Morrill, law, as
they are evidently disposed to do the chances are
ten to one that it will not remain long on the sta
tute book; insomuch as it has already become in
tensely unpopular at home Our belief is that
within thirty days from the LIST proximo, wien II
goes into operation, 1t will be found that Its in
tricacies render the collection OF the revenue &C.
cording to its provisions practically impossible
while its prohibitory tendency will defeat al
hope of raising sufficient revenue under it, 1t car
require few additional endorsements or checks
to trade, added 10 that Of the present financial
condition of the country, growing out of dis
union, to deter prudent men from venturing the
usual heavy importations; and in the disabilite:
thrown UPON importers by the Morrill, law those
emharrassments and checks will he very soon
found to exist, we apprehend. The only remedy
lies in speedy action of Congress revising. and
indeed, wholly changing our revenue system, &c
meet the altered state of things resulting from TIE
secession of the Gulf States. We believe that In
less than sixty days Congress will be called to
gether 10 legislate on the subject.

RICHMOND, March 26--l p m
Mr.. VIM. b. PrestOn's speech to-day was an
able argument In favor of a reconstruction Of the
Union, and he expressed the most sanguine hopes
that such result would be attained. The signs
Of the times he considered suspicious.
Mr.. A. NJ. Barbour has returned. The reports
Of his having gone over to the secessOnsts are
without foundation. He says he could not do so
If he would, without disregarding the will Of his
constituents.

gave utterance TO the opinion that II vote we re
to be taken now on the question Of secession, II

Spirit of the Merning Press

The TntsHigsresT replies to correspondents In
the seeding states that it understands the Admin
istration TO be s;udiously DESTROYS to avoid The
very appearance Of practising anything like con-
strsint on public opinion in the South, and that
the rumors Of designs on the part Of the Federal
Government against the peace Of the Sonth derive
all their currency from the sensation press In tne
Interest of secession.
The Republicans says that after the south nas
tried secession a little longer they will see that
the connection of the Federal Union, although
advantageous to all sections, was not vital ne
cessity to the hated Yankees and that the loss OF
1t will not arrest, in any perceptible degree, the
march Of the free States in expanding wealth and
numbers.
