Tariff Resolutions.--On Friday last, some resolutions were introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. S. C. Webster of Plymouth, expressive of the opinion of the Legislature favorable to a modification of the tariff. They were opposed by Charles B. Goodrich, Esq. of Portsmouth, who moved an indefinite postponement, and spoke at some length in support of his motion.

Mr. G. was backed by Col. Wilson of Keene, formerly the federal Speaker, who was somewhat lavish of his compliments on Mr. Goodrich for the course he had taken. Mr. Goodrich's motion was however negatived. and the resolutions passed by a large majority, and received the unanimous sanction of the Senate, [Mr. Henderson being absent.]

Mr. Goodrich is one of the professed Democrats elected at a second run on the amalgamation ticket in March last, and is just so far a representative of the party to which he professed to belong, as we had always anticipated, viz: from the teeth outward.

The Journal of Commerce says, the proposal of Mr. Davis of Massachusetts, to abolish the minimum system on woollens, and substitute for it a duty of fifty per cent on the value here, seems to be the neplus of ultra tariff madness. The value here, is made up of the cost, the charges of importation, the duty, and a profit on the whole.-- The duty on a cloth worth four dollars here, would be two dollars: the charges of importation perhaps 50 cents, leaving $1 50, with which to buy the cloth. Thus, under the name of 50 per cent would be actually imposed a duty upon the duty, amounting in all to 133 per cent. How under the present circumstances of the country, any man should be able to hold up his head and make such a proposition, it is difficult to understand.-- It can surely be intended for nothing but a naked insult to every feeling of conciliation. Its adoption would be equivalent to a total prohibition. In practice the scheme would be impossible.
