 THE TARIFF.

 The Senate then, OH motion of Mir. Eumg, took upthe following resolution, submitted b3 Mir. Cley on the 10th inst:

 Resofeed, That the existing duties upon articles imported from foreign countries, and not coming into competition with si- Hliar articles made or produced within the United States, ought to be forthwith abolished, except tie duties upon wines and silks, aud flat those ought to be re- dueed And tlat the Committee on Fi- nance be instructed to report bill ac- cordingly.

 Br. Hayae proposed the following modification of the resolutions:

 Strike out all after the word sscoun- tries,'' and insert as follows: ssBe so reduced that the amount ofpuhlic rev. enue shall be sufficient to deffay the expenses of Government according to Their present scale, after the payment of the public debt; and that, allowing a reasonable time for the gradualredstc- Hon of the present high duties on the articles coming into competition with similar articles made or produced with ii the United States, the duties be ui- timately capitalized, so that the duty on no article shall, as compared with the value of that article, vary, materially, from the general ayerage.1

 Mir. Hqyne then addressed the Senate nearly four hours in support of his proposition in opposition to the ori- einal resolution; and in reply to Mir. C7Qg. When he concluded.

 Mir. Diekerson moved to postpone the further consideration of the rcsolu- tion to Monday next.

 Mir. Clay was opposed to so distant a postponement. He wished an early decision of the question, that if the res olution was sustained by the Senate, 1t might go soon to the committee. MT. Forsyth, thinking the present de- bate on the merits, premature, was in favor of deciding the question at once, as the merits of the proposition would 5 come up again, if a bill was ordered, and the whole debate would probably be repeated if the resolution were now discussed.

 Mir. Tyler concurred in this view and supported il at some length.

 Mr. Blckersoa thought as Mr. Hoyne had gone so largely into the merits of Ithe question, gentlemen on the other side should have an opportunity of re plying to him before the resolution went 10 committee; and another reason for the postponement was that he expected some important information on the sub 1 iect from the New York Convention. Mir. Hziilias supported the postpone fnent, and Air. Smith opposed it; when

 The question being taken. the mo ton for postponement prevailed with |out division.
