OJ-lt is very evident from the tone of the Ad- mnistration journals that an effort is to be made at the next session of Congress to overthrow the pres ent Tariff Law, and substitute in its place a mere Revenue Act. MT. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury, has already announced his intention of recommending such course in his first Annual Report. All the southern loco loco journals, and most of those at the north cordially respond to the views of the Secretary. The party in power have very large majority in the popular branch of the new Congress, and unless the influence of MT. Bu- chanan, and the voice of Pennsylvania, should be sufficient to prevent it, there is little doubt that the protective policy will be overthrown far as the House of Representatives have the power.- What may be the result in the Senate is more doubtful.
