Correspondence of the Express.
Mommy, Feb. 19.
The Committee of Ways and Means ex-
pect to report in all this week their Bill to
modify the present tariff. The basis of the
bill reported will be the imposition ofduties
at 30 per cent. and a Home Valuation which
the committee suppose will be equivalent to
33 and one third per cent. It is also pro-
posed to make discrirninations. for revenue.
The Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads. of the Senate, will report in substance
the bill submitted some time since, by Mr.
I‘.<Icrrick, the chairman of the Committee.——-
The modifications do not propose any*alter-
ation ofthe postages, as proposed in the Bill
already before the public. Ten. cents and
five cents are the rates agreed upon by the
committee, and in conversation with the
chairman of the committee this morning. he
informed me that it was impossible to recom-
mend lower rates than those before reported.
The Select Committees have been ordered
in the House of Representatives, to day, one
on motion of Mr. Adams, to look after the
Smithsonian bequest.
It appears that $75,000 interest money is
due, and that however safe it may be no ef-
fort has been made to bring it into the Treas-
ury. Mr. Ad-arns thinks that some addition-
al legislation is necessary, and has moved a
select com. partly for that purpose. The other
Select Committee was appointed on motion
of Mr. Burke, ofNew Hampshima genuine
Loco Foco of the same culottc order.
The whole Dorric war is to be revived.
and Mr. Burke has voluntarily Srt himsr-lf
upas the champion of Mr.--I beg his par-
don.——Governor Dorr’s treason.
Eeighteen Representatives and 8 Senators
-—send a petition to Congress reviving the
old grievances of the Charter and the anti-
Charter party.——of the supporters of treason
and the adherents oflaw and order,-—protest—
ing. generally, against the interference ofthe
Federal Government to put down State in-
surrections, and particularly against the
Proclamation of President Tyler putting an
end to the recent troubles in that State. The
legality of the election of Gov. Dorr is still
contend-’ed for, and the People's Constitution
is put forth as in reality of binding authority.
The memorial was prescntcd,—the previ-
ous question moved,—-the main question or-
dered,—a motion to lay upon the table dc-
feated, and the reference sustained, all in the
greatest conceivable haste.
l\’It'. Wilkins took leave of the House of
Representatives to day by letter, and the oath
of office was administered to him by Chief
Justice Cranch of the Circuit and District
Courts.
The tariff discussion is going on slowly in
the Senate. Mr. Phelps of Vermont, has
made a very excellent speech in behalfofthe
principles of the tarifI}——embodying many
facts in the commercial history of our own
andjother countries. and a great many ‘statis-
tics proving the wisdom and justice of the
Protective policy.

'\-\7so.\'r::sn.n, Feb. 21.
In the Senate, to-day. Mr. Evans reported
a general bill for the remission of duties on
Railroad Iron. This bill authorizes Rail-
road iron to come in free of duty for five
years from the date of the passage of this act
and remits duty on iron actually laid dotvn.
T/te Ta,rifi‘.-——Mr. Bates of Mass, spoke
some two or three hours on this subject. he
said, the Senator from South Carolina, pass-
ing by Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware,
Pennsylvania. New York, Connecticut and
Rhode Island, all Tariff States, rudely
knocks atour door in Massachusetts, and
tells us we have got his money--that we
have robbed and plundered the South. Sir,
(said . Ir. B.) we have very little money ;
and what we have got we have earned by
the sweat of our brows. We have no money
that cannot be accounted for by our industry
and it is too small in amount to justify the
suspicion that it was ill-gotten. It was
chrtrgcd that this money was gotten by the
agency of the protective system. If so, the
system was not of Massachusetts ‘origin.
The Act of ISI8 imposed a duty of 20
per cent. on cotton goods. and more' if from
the South of the Cape of Good Hope. It
fixed a minium of 25 cents a square yard.
The duty averaged 75 per ccnt. All these
duties and minimums were increased by the
Tariffof 1824. Who put those minimums
to the Tariffs of 1818 and 1824? Did
Massachusetts do it? No, sir, only one
member out of fourtccn from Massachusetts
voted forthcm. 'I‘b0-SO Tariffs were passed,
not only without our consent, but against our
votes. Massachusetts opposed both of the
Tariffs, and they were imposed on her by
the South. How was it with the Tariff of
1828? The Tariff of I824 was very soon
followed by a reduction in England of the
duty on foreign wool. This rendered our
duty on woollens incflicient for the purposes
of protection. The capital of New England
had sought employment in woollen manu-
factures, on the faith of what was believed
to be the permanent policy of tho Govern-
ment. All that was asked of Congress in
1828 was to carry out the intentions of the
Act of 1824. A paternal government as
one would think, would not hesitate at it.--
But this application resulted in the Tariff of
1828. the bill of abominations. Who put

The members voted against the high duties
on other articles, while the South, aided by
other States voted for them. Two members
only out of the fourteen from Massachusetts,
voted for the Tariff. He, (Mr, Ba[u§_) voied
against it. Did it not amount to a suprem.'i-

on the subject.
Mr. Bates, in the course of his remarks,
stated that the capital employed by Massa-
chusetts, in cotton manufactures, since 1824,
had not yielded three per cent.
Mr. Mt:Duffie here remarked that he did
not wish to put the Sn--nate on the stand. but
he would ask him, if he chose to answer,
what were now the profits on the capital ru-
gaged in manufactures in Massachusetts.
Mr. Bates in reply, presented a statement
from Mr. Appleton, showing that on the
Lowell capital, with all their capital or ad-
vantages, did not yield six per cent.

A Frtnno Incirlcrzt.-—-At a Locofoco con-
vention recently held in Tippecanoe county,
Indiana, a friend of M r. Cassuioved a reso-
lution to the following «fleet: 5,
“Whereas General Lnwis Cass emigratrd
to the \Vcst from New Harnpshirc in early
life with his knapsack on his back, and no-
shcated his sword in repelling the Indians,
from our Northwestern frontier,and in figh-
ing against the British during the last war;
'I‘bcrefore, Rcso.’~r:enl. That lie ought to he
supported by the Democratic party for Pres
idem of the United St::tcs.’
A brother Locufoco moved to amend the
resolution by striking out the name of ‘Invit-
is Cass.’ and inserting the tirurne of ‘Martin,
Van Buren ;’ which motion. after an anima-
ted discussion, prevailed. S-mic one called
for the reading of the resolution as amend:-tl.
whereupon the secretary in 21 loud voicc,com-
menccd rearlingzr , -
"Whereas General Martin Van Btl'l‘t‘il

By the time the Sr-cretary had got thus far
the absurdity of the thing become so manifest
that the same Locofoco who moved the a-
mendment sprang to his feet, exclainiing.

and there it was laid accordingly.
