The Tarff The true policy of the administiation tariff men has now fully developed itself Mr. Sprague moved to strike out the duty proposed by the bill before the house on iion and molasses, and was supported by the whole cut rent of debates from the administra tion side of tho house. Even Mr. Martindale, of New York, went the whole length of southern, anti-tariff opposition to the duty on molasses, in which he was joined bv Messrs. Reed, Rates and Burges. So far has the po 'iiical nvmia enteicd into the discussion on the tariff, that Mr. Clark, of Ky. whose partisans last August made bjttle for a hempen badge, forgot that he was the repi csentative of a hemp growing district, k made a speech against the protection of that inteicst. The war of words and of wit gievv bharp ; and yesterday Mr. Daniel, of Ky. advised his ya kce friends who were so much opposed to the duty on molasses, to learn to sop their bread on but one side.
