Wasiihgtos Citt, Nor. 20.18-15. Congress meets in less than two weeks from the present day; and as a necessary conse- ! quence, tlie city is all bustle, and preparation, I and speculation. Members arc dropping in one or two at a time, and taking up their quar ters, and the politicians and quid nuncs gener ally, are speculating on the probabilities of the adoption or this or that measure, and the choice of tins or. that man for the various offices which will have to be filled in the process of organi zing the two houses for action during the ensu ing session. Of the senators and members of Congress now here, Senators Benton nnd Bag- by have been here all tlin iuternignum, with tlie exception of Senator Renton having paid a flying visit to Kentucky. Senator Allen, of Ohio, arrived here a day or two ago; and of the House of Representatives there tire on the ground, Air. Marsh of Vermont, Mr. Hough of New York, Ale-srs. Davis and Pettit of Indi ana, Air. Tiiibadeaux of Louisiana, and Air. Payne of Alabama. Ttie chief matters of speculation now are the choice ef Speaker for the House of Represen tatives, nnd of Printer to that House aud also to the Senate. This latter is exclusively a question of spoiis, and from tho varying antip athies at d sympathies of some of the members, may produce some singular results; bull nn- ticij ate the probability of the proprietors of the ‘‘Union” being chosen by both Houses, though it is quite possible that thu “Intelligencer” may get the Senate. The choke of Speaker of the House, how ever, is one of great importance, as involving al o the choice of the committees, a* d iti that involving in a considerable degree tho dircc- Tlte 17th section of the luw provides that the Collector of Customs shall require the pro duction of the invoice of any goods imported, the advulorem duties being levied on the cost at the port whence shipped, and that lie shu I then cause an appraisement to be made of tl e goods, and if the appraisers shall give the value of the goods ns being worth ten per cent, moio than the invoice price, then the collector may levy a fine c F flity per cent, on the amount of duties which liu shall compel the Importer to pay. Thus ii u merchnnt should make a bar gain, and purchase woollen cloths io the amount of 8100,000 the duly on which is 40 per cent., the duty on that amount would be S10,000.— The tariff of 1842 ptovides how ever that the Collector may appoint appraisers, who shall value those goods and if they should return that the gooJs were woitli 8111,000, then the Col lector would levy 40 per cent, on that amount 84-1,-100, and 50 per cent, on that or S22.200 in addition, making n duty of uO per cent, on SI 11,000 or SGG.600 instead ol 40 per cent, on $100,000 or S-10 000. This provision operates as a penalty on a man for buying cheap, and (lie fire of 50 per cent, on the duties goes into the pockets of the Collector, Surveyor, : ltd Naval Officer. I am informed that the fima levied in the port of New York alone under this iniquitous clause averaged S1000 a d*y for GU days or $60,000 plundered from the merchants first and the people last. Such is the operation of only otic clause of this iniqui tous law. O.lier portions oFit Iwill mention'in future letters. TATNALL. Washington Citt, November 26,18-10. Since my last a considerable number of uu*m bers of Congress have arrived here, and, taken i i connection with the numbers of those whom we hear of being on their w ay, and within one or two days journey uf tho capital, it appears almost certain that there will be a quorum pre sent at the time appointed for tlie meeting of Congress. Speculation as to tho choice of Speaker, Clerk, Printer, &c., appears to be as rife as possible, and many ar.d various are the con- jeciurcs as to what will be the course which will be pursued, and who will be the success ful candidates. From all appearances at pre- liun of the legishiti' ii of Congress, which is of sent, it seems almost certain that John M. Da- THE LEGISLATURE.

On the 24ib ult. tho bill introduced by ili^ Senator from Mus cogee and Harris, emit led n l>i 1 fur ihe protec tion and ‘preservation of the lights of married especial importance when considered with re ference to the question of tho tariff; a question of g’eat, nay, viial impoitnnce to the whole country, and most especially to the South. Tho most prominent candidates named for this [tost are Mr Davis of Indiana, Air. C. J. Inger- s»!| of Pennsylvania, and Mr. McKnv of'North C-roliun, the chairman of the Committee of Ways tuul Mentis of llie 28:h Congress which reported a hill mudi r ying the larift', but which was laid on the table in tae House. Of these candidates, the two first named are considered ill i strong st, and there are fears expressed by vis, of Indiana, will be the choice of the House of Representatives fur Speaker; that their pre sent worthy and efficient Clerk, B. B.* French, will bo re-elected to the office he how holds; and that the proprietors of the official organ will be chosen printers. For the other officers it is almost an impossibility to predict who will be chosen. The contents of the Message of the Presi dent to Congress,Imve for a longtime been the subject ofVprculation, and surmise, and conjec ture.

Tlie-e recominen dations will be for Congic-ss to net upon, ami liazird very little in saying ih-it it is exceedim ly doubtful wlietlwr there gun be found a suffi cient nnmeer of votes to adopt and carry out the policy I have me tinned as tint which w he recommended ou the subject of the Tariff. And this, ihotfgh there is, be’it remembered, majority of some 50 votes on the Democratic side of the H >use. Yet. with 50 majority it is doubtful whether tlie principles of tlie Demo cratic pary can In carried out on the subjec of the I a riff There wdl be, lit my opinion but one resource, mid that is one which wil 1 require indomitable firmness and determination on the part of tiie President. That resource is that the Tariff question be made the test spies turn of Democracy. Thu bank is an ‘obsolete idea,” and yet it any 6nb venture's to advocate the edtabii.-hmi.-nt of a National Bank lie is lead out of the party immediately—he is no demo crat. Now why should this bo the case with the bank and not with the Tariff’! The latter is infinitely tlie worse evil of the two. It im poses a tax upon every individual of the com monwealth fur tlie benefit (if it very few manu facturing rapi'nlists. And why should, mem hers of Congress hi* permitted to ally themselves with the monopolists in opposition to the Dem ocratic creed and vote to tax the whole commit- nity fur the benefit of a few iud vidua vet be allowed to return their standing as mem bers of the Democratic parryV It must not be ! The President mu-t take his stand, bold ly, and determined, and sustained by the vast bod)* of the Democrats, dies i pseudo democrats must be taught that if they Support Whig mens ures, they must go into the Whig ranks, and the President and his supporteis will go before tl e people with the issue “a tar.fi’for revet.ue alone f >r the purposes of n general government,” or “a tariff for plunder for the hem fi' of the mo nopolists.” Such must he the stand mode— such must be the position taken if this iniqui tous Tariff under-which tho whole country groans is to be repealed aud a revenue tariff enacted. '1 here is one of the recom nenil itions which I have given above as otic which it is said will be contained in the Alc.ssag *, of which f cannot approve. It i 3 that proposing to purchase the lands ol Texas. This, il it should be recom mended and sanctioned by Congress, would be a precedent which might i< ad to the assumption of the State debts, and nrmy other unconstitu tional acts. Tae Statu Rights school teaches that the Gene; al Government has no power to make ti bargain with the States belonging to the Union. The General Government posses ses only certain powers which are strictly de fined in the Constitution. Now it might have been made a part of the conditions of annexa tion that Texas shuul.1 atitrender her hinds atul the IL S. assume hor debt. But annexation aving taken .nlacc the U. S. lias no power to make a bargan with her for that purpose.' if tho General Government has that power, it bos also the power to purchase the Internal 1m- I provenieuts of the other states of tlie Union — and who docs not see where it w ill lead. If it have the power to make tl good btirgai *, it has the power to make a bad one, for all values are comparative. We might purchase the hinds of Texas fur tho amount of her debt and make a good bargain, but if we can do tint, we might purchase the improvements i f Ohio fur the a- mount of her debt and make a bad barg.-iu.— And Where is it u> stop if once begun ? 1 am inf irinedjthat it is intepde I id s -nd out the H«m.

Tee Cniivcitiort adj.turned on the 18th ult., after a session uf live davs. new paper i/’ We unintentionally omii'ed ;n our last fo no- \V e ho .cstly think that n majority ol our friends iicc the appearance <-f the Georgia Advertiser, ' ave acted wisely, and if any poitiou « f thu party lias a rig .t to complain, it is the majority, it the friends of Judge Beubien for placing them nil fertile unpleasant n cessity of sacrifi cing so dLiiugimiied a mag. They must have known that tlieie wes some dissatisfaction at Judge Blkkikn’s course, from the studied si lence of the press iu tlie last campaign to make his re-election tin issue iu tho contest. But pposc Judgiu Berrien had i:ot offended u pur- ! on ot tho Whig prriy, and a majority of tneir j re| resulta ives hud preferred Judge Douoher- I tv or any one else, we doubt, even then, ulieth- j er the position uf our friend Jones, nnd those | w ho prefer Judge Berrien, would be tenable. Onu*:h't"g wu know, that four years ago, .when tl.e iiaitit-s of Bkhrien, Docgheriv nnd GiLstee, w ere pies tiled to the members of the Wliig party to make choice ot a Seunior, Dougherty did nut make a splutt: r and talk uf lus s' rvici s. nor » ere bis friends offended at the res 1, but like tree Whigs, acquiesced in the wishes ol a major by. Txvo of the same naim s, me again before the representatives of the whig pinly, and they make a derided choice of Judge D CUUKRTY. What should l ave been the u~c- liun of Judge Berrien's ft tends, we leave them to determine. Ii a v wrong has been dime, it has been in flicted upon the Wliig party in advocating doc trines they never sanctioned, and which Air. Clay himself condemned. Augusta, we |; never advocate thu raising of outi son imports w hen suffice nt revenue was already afforded bv tlie law then oper-.t ng. He, who 1ms been considered tho Inti er 11 the American s\s'cm, never went for *‘ protection for protect.'on’s sake.” If Judge Bhiiiibn bad been ie-ilecied lo tl.c Senate of the United States, onr pofiucrd , nppotieti s would lime bad the right, and i.o doubt would have t xeicised if, to charge the I Wh g party with sai.ct on ng the polilieul op n- iotts «/f Judge Berrien, ns expressed in Boston. , Under tne circumstances tlie .salvation of die | Whig pm ty required that its brightest ornament ; should lie sacrificed ; and though we sincere ly i legret it, w e cannot hut accord to the major ty flit* highest pi.rise for tlie untl nclnug manner in which they have performed their duly. We again repeat, if any injury is to come of this, to tin: Wing parly :t is chargeable to the minority, • for linvii g permitted tiie sacrifice to take place, j Th s utuen we felt it our duty to say in behalf j of the action of a majority of the party. To | have saved tiie fe- lings of those we highly re- | s|K‘Ct, we would have re-fraiiied from giving : publicity to '.ur commendation of their conduct 1 j publ'shcd in this city weekly,and the Alacon Adver iser, published tii-weekly al the same office by W. B. Harrison, Esq.; both neutral in politics. Wo wish them'every success. PARIS! A N FAS HIONS.
