VOTE ON THE TARIFF.
The first clash of arms in Congress On the tar
iT came on ~ the 1th inst, by close vote of W
yeas, to II nays for tabling the following rcso.
luims offered by Representative MARSHALL, Of
Illinois:
Rcsotrrd, That the power granted in the Fed.
cral Constitution ~ levy and collect taxes, du.
ties IN imports, an lcxcses tO pay the debts and
provide Tor he common defence and general wei
iare of tho United States, dnss not include or cnl-
brace any pnwertp levy duties for any purpose
other than tho collection uf revenues for such
purposes therein indicated that tariff levied
ior any purpose other than revenue, and espcc
inlly Que levied tn foster aud Zurich me section
of our country ut the exp inSo of another, or to
foster and enrich one class uf citizens at the cx
pensc of others, Is unauthorized by tue constitu.
ton, unjust tn the great body of the American
people, aud In its results injurious eventually to
nearly every individual interest Of the country.
Rcsoirci, That in the prcpa a,iun the uf bill! fir
the modification Of the existing tnriii laws, Con
gress should cOnline its acton strictly to the
preparation Of tariff for revenue exclusively,
and that the duties on nu article should ba great
or than that which would Rirea maximum Of
revenue on such articles.
The justice ard propriety of principles nsscr-
tod by these resolutions will be apparent to cv-
cry fair miuded and hOnlrable man. II is GER
tainly gratifying to perceive that the Rcpubli-
cans in Congress ar, becoming conscious of the
evil, AMI folly of class legislation, so strlkingy
manifested in the tariff system MS now prevail
ing Them m,nrity Of only IL clearly indicates
that the Il tys Of grhSpng ,nopoly and of com
mcrcal exclusivcness are unnum bercd. The
people are getting awake to the injustice of this
iniquituus system, aud it the men whom they
have nav placed in Congress n represent them
ln not correct the rvil the next Congress viii be
composed Of bcttor mtt,riil.
