The Tariff Bill will not come up till about that time. I learn that M r. McKay wishes to report, instead of Mr. Walker's Bill, a plan some what similar to that which he framed two years ago. The Southern free trade mem hers will be less favorable to this project than to Mir. Walker's. though they do not entirely approve of the latter. Mr. Walker's project will, it is estima ted, yield twenty litur millions; which will not be enough for the current expen ditures. at the rate Congress is going on. Direct taxes, if the warlike preparations now recommended, shall go on. There now appears to be a general im pression that negotiations are about to he renewed with England on the Oregon question. It is apprehended by the ultra Oregon party, that the question will soon be settled by compromise. Stall there are some doubts about it, which would he solved by another call upon the President, as proposed by Mr. J. M. Clayton. Mr. Clayton's resolution was taken up yesterday, and afforded an oppertunity fot a very ,precise statement by Mr. Wetbsie of his views of the ;tate of the Oregor question. Air. Webster's abject. it is said, was to put forth the view', of his side o1 the chsiber, that they might go out tc England by the packet of toe f.rst. Mr. Webster, as you will see, is of the opinion that the public minil in both cotn tries is set tina down opon 49th parallel, a the line of demarcation between the Brit. ish and Aterictn possessions on the Nortl -West Coast ; and be warns (reat Britait that she must not expect to obtain anm territory south of 49. As to harbors, amu the temporary or permanent navigation el the Columbia, he supposes that tiey might be made the subject of an amicable ar rangement. M1r.

Our readers will remember that this bill which was brought forward princi pally fur the benefit of the West, has passed the House of Representatives. It will yet he fully dis cussed in t&-e Senate. Should it pass that body, we sincerely hope. that the PresidentI will veto it. The item of $25.00 for the har bor of Charleston was struck out of the bill. This was done, as it is stated. because the S. Carolina deiegation was opposed to the bill. This shows great inconsistency to say the least, on the part of those gentlemen who believe in the system of internal improvements by the General Government. If this bill should be come a law it will be the precursor of others of a kindred nature, and we may then give upI all hope of a permanent reduction of the Ta rif'. We much regr t that so many Democrats gave their sanction to this bill In our opn ion they have proven recreant to their princi ples and their duty, and they deserve the re buke of the American people. The :mhjiiied remarks. which we have copied from the Mecklenburg Jeffersontman, are forcible and very just. They snow in a glaring lig ht, the in cousistei.cy and the faithfulness of nen who profess the Democratic creed, but whose con duct has not been in accordance with it. PROFESSION vs. PIACTICE. We hold it to be as much our duty to expose the inconsistency of members of t utr ono party. as if the sit: were commit ted by our opponents. Ii is the worst sort of hypocrisy to profess adherence to cer tain political principles. and then set thema aside whenever they come in confiirt with some supposed local or personal interests It has been regarded as an axiomatie truth with all Demcrats for half a ceniu Iry, Ihat the General Government has not the coustitntonal power toconstruct works of imernal improvement, unless they be of a strictly amid clearly national character. It was upon this ground that Gen. Jack son based his laitous Maysville veto, and he was sustained in it by the whole Deim ocratic party and an overt helmig tan jority of he American people. But n hat do we now see ? The liver and harbor Bill, now before Congress, devotes some millions of dollars to clearing out rivers -andacreeksiu.-the:western. and uorthwesi~ it cannot be so pretended ; und yet we find Democratic members from those see tious advocating the Bill with great zeal. And upon what grouni ? A memher from lndiana admits that such apirolriations are not warranted by the cutsii!ution ; h.i if the .li must pass, he otIers an amtend ment to clear out a river in his District, I tid if that is accepted te will vote for the I Bill. Another from Tennessee says-O yes, he is opposed to intornial ittprovemencits by the Geueral Governmcent; :,ui, then, he catn't vote againsat this bill, because it cnitaitis an appropriation in w hiebt his constituents are initerested.
