The Herald has an absurd but characteristic
Editorial, asserting the receipt OF private ad-
vices from Washington that Gen. Mchay's Van
dal Tariff bill will become a law This IS
pure fabrication Our advices are at least as re-
liable as those of the Herald, and we assure our
readers that the great Loco-toco measure OF
paralysis to the Industry and destruction to
the Prosperity of the Country has no rea-
sonable chance Of becoming lap. 1t will
with great difficulty be got through the
House, even, and has no look at all Of getting
through the Senate, except in the unlmaglnable
contingency Of Connecticut going Loco-toco at
the approaching State Election, Should that
incredible result take place, Messrs. Archer, Ber
rien, and Henderson may be impelled to the mis-
taken conclusion that the Protective Policy is
unpopular at the North, and consent to It's aban-
donment. But Connecticut will not go Loco
Foco, nor will the Senate demosh the Tariff
Mark it! Meantime, it behoves every friend Of
American Labor, fully employed and fairly paid,
to exert himself in support of the Protective
Tariff, and to circulate and send on Memorials to
Congress against its subversion.


Later Advices.


Nr The following letter from our Special Cor
respondent at Washington does not at all change
our own decided conviction that the Loco-Foco
downwith- the T Tariff bill cannot pass the Senate
unless in the incredible contingency Of Connect
cut throwing her influence against Protection,
AS to "the Indiana Senator's" we are entirely
aure the WIG one Hon. Albert S. White) will go
10 strongly against this fatal measure as any man
can. Mr. Hannegan is one whom we have never
relied on We have MT yet seen MesSrs Buchanan
and Sturgeon Of Pa. vote to destroy the Tariff,
and shall believe they will when we do see it.

The Tariff and the Oregon Question.


From our Special Correspondent.


WAsHINGroN. March l2th, 1874.


The two absorbing topics here now, are the Tariff
and the Oregon Question.


Doubtless the question amongst Merchants, Man
ufacturcrs and Mechanics III New-York is, " Will
the New Tariff Bill pass 2" am afraid il viii.
think there is no doubt at ell lis passing the House
of Representatives and It's fate in The Senate will
depend as | think, on the Indiana Senators


A few of the ultra Anti-Tari men in the House
NAV vote against il, and doubtless will these are
Rhet,, Black &c. because they say the duty should
be taken off sugar and iron and few OF the Tarit
Democrats of the North may vote against il, for
contrary reason bu, still there is not much doubt
Its passage pretty much it has been reported. In
deed al Caucus held last night, il advised thai
il should be rushed through the House as party
measure. You will perceive mixing of what is

u,llv were in favor of the new Bill yet they vot
against taking il up 50 soon; various reasons wer
assigned some wanted time 10 read the Bill and re
