The Tariff Debate.

The debate on this subject opened In Com
m;ttee of the Whole House, in Congress, on
Tuesday last, Mr.. Mills, Chairman OF the
Committee on Ways and Means, making the
opening speech, followed by Judge Kelley, OF
Pennsylvania. Speaker Carlisle himself will
narticipate in the debate, and has on his
calendar the names of about one hundred
members who are ready to do the same
There will be perfect cataract OF words-a
flood of eloquence-poured out upon the
country from Washington, upon this all-lm-
portant topic, which is to have precedence OF
everything else, until it is finally disposed OF
in that body. Nothing like it has been wit
messed in Congress since the days of 1880,
durinp the Administration of Andrew Jack
son. when the ''War of the Giants took
nloce in the Senate, in which Mr.. Hayne, OF
South Carolina, and Mr.. Webster, of Massa-
chusetts, bore the most conspicuous part, IN
yolyinp the subjects of Limitation of Public
Land Sales, the origin of the U. States Land
system. the Authorship of the Anti-Slavery
Ordinance of 177S, the Slavery Controversy,
n Protective Tariff, &c. That debate is re-
membered by our oldest citizens, as perhaps
the most remarkable that ever occurred IN
the Congress of the United States, and exclt-
ed the deepest interest in the minds OF the
people generally, as well as among the mem
hers of the Senate where it took place. The
subject of the present debate is not less I'M
portant, involving the welfare OF the entire
body polite. And when it is completed IN
Congress it will be taken before the tribune
of the people, who will render their solemn
decision upon the subject, at the polls on the
9th of November next.
The debate will in all probability last
month. After the Congressman shall have
finished talking they will act. The friends OF
Tariff Reform have nothing to fear from de-
bate. The facts are all on their side; and SO
are the necessities of the situation. Let the
discussion proceed.
