We were unable TO attend the important debates
in the House Of Representatives to-day. We are
sorry for it, II our information be correct cloud
arose for a moment in a quarter Of the horizon
where we could least have expected it, and which
threatened danger to the just and proper modifcs-
ton of the existing oppressive and tyrannical tariff


But we have made il rule throughout our Politi.
cal life never to despair of the republic. In this
case, certainly, we know our cause TO be just. II
is the cause Of liberty and Of the constitution. II
is the cause Of the oppressed many against the
exsctions of the privileged classes. IL is cause
which must ultimately triumph, and to which we
are ready to say with the Secretary of the Treas.
ury, we would devote our life as long as it
lasts. For thirty years past, we have never known
the day in which we would not have met every haz-
ard, risked every consequence brayed every difficult
ty, in the support Of such cause. No considerations
on earth shall stop US. So long we preserve our
energies, we shall endeavor to present in its true
light hi, great question Of the age and by ringing
again and again appeals to the sense Of common JUS
tce in every part Of the land, will do our duty
in assisting TO wipe off this libel upon the integrity
and institutions of our country.


lruth VIII ultimately prevail. IL ID suCCeeu-
ing in England. 1t will gorously triumph in
America. No privileged monopoly, no greedy cor
poration spirit, private griefs, miserable per-
sonal disappontments finally defeat this cause.
The former will be exposed. The latter if it has
any existence, will be Investigated and unmasked
One Of the greatest truths Of the age, the justice
and the benefits Of free-trade, will have many
tongue to speak for it, many pen to write for it,
many head to think and many heart to feel for
it. Many a,man is willing to become martyr to
it-and it must succeed hereafter. But why talk Of
hereafter 1t is our firm and conscientious belief
that it will succeed so~-durng this present
sion Of Congress. If passion or monopoly shall
defeat it, again the standard will be displayed-snd
again the champions will rush to the rescue with an


ndomitable spirit greater than ever.


Things have been reported to-day that we do
not believe. We will not believe that the democratic
delegations of Ohio and New York have authorized
any statements to be made in hostility to the sdmn-
istration on this-one of its greatest-leading
ures. No, we will not believe it. There must
be some gross mistake about this matter. But we
should pause This is not the night, perhaps, when
we may trust our feelings further this subject.
