FOR THE MADsoNIAN
HON ASHER ROBBINS AND DR.. USHER
PARSONS

The official paper of Monday evening speaks of the
venerable Asher Robbins, of Rhode Island, gentle
man not less distinguished for his eminent classical
attanments and amenity of manners than for his uni
form and undertaking devotion to Republican princi-
pies as an ''old biue-igh Federdist"
During the war Mr. Robbins was district attorney
for the district of Rhode Island, Gan office believe
which he received from Mr. Jefferson, and the man
ner in which he performed the duties of his station
the entire appreciation of Mr. Madison, as well the
sterling democrat who then District Judge The
most bitter opponent Mr.. R. had was the late
Elisha r. Potter, known to politicians one of the
prominent Federal members of Congress during the
war, and as natural consequence, the leading "demo-
craf in Rhode Island at the time Of his death. 1.-THE
Globe had applied the offensive term Of "bue light Fee
deralist" to old Nat. Macon it would not have been
more undeserved, nor more widely at variance with
truth than in assocating with it the of Asher
Robbins
The Globe, too, speaks of "a Or. Usher Parsons "
if that accomplished gentleman was entirely I'M
known and undistinguished II the writer in the
Globe had been with the history of the
last war as he is with terms of bitter reving and
proach he would not have been ignorant that high
" did the gallant Perry appreciate his services, that
in note to the Department he made them a subject
of especial notice and commentator. The Doctor is
no politician, but is known throughout New England
as skfu surgeon, profound scholar, gentleman
of polished and urbane manners, and as man of the
most unquestonable probity and honor. His valuable
testimony in behalf of General Harrison cannot be
impeachcd or dscredited by such mpoent surs as a
Dr. Usher Parsons"

MR.. OGLE'S SPEECH.

Weare informed that the Federal Loco Focos,
IN some parts of the country, have nolp the har-
dlhood TO deny the authenticity of the vouchers
set forth in the speech Of Mr.. OoLE. We knew
that this desperate shit would be resorted to-
ard challenged the partisans Of the Executive 10
contradict the facts stated by Mr.. OGLE, or i'm
pugn the authenticity of the vouchers, at the
time his speech was made, when Congress was
IN session, when the issue could be fairly tried at
once, and decided in the presence of thousands
of witnesses from every section Of the Union.
Mr.. OGLE himself held the vouchers in his hand,
IN the Hall of Representatives,--dec them
TO be the original rouchers on file IN the De-
Pdrtments-and called upon the train bands to
deny them if they could Not man venlured
TO meet the demand--not Loco Foco press un-
dertook TO question the truth of the charges at
that time The miserable attempt now made TO
dlscredit the authenticity of the vouchers must
fail. The certificate declaring them to be genu-
inc, and signed by several of the most respect
able members of Congress, puts the matter TO
rest

THE KEY STONE STATE.

the last three MONTHS and with perfect verify may
say never witnessed such a state Of feeling now
exists among the people. believe that the Key Stone
is only entirely safe for General Harrison but that
he win have 10000 majority. This you will think
exravagant but really could you the masses which
together short notice in any and every county
of the State, you would be satisfied that change Is
determined And it seems as if very nature smiled
upon efforts, for the weather is invariably very
fine and never hear of an accident or quarrel
We are making preparations for the reception of
the people here the 10th September We antici-
pate crowd of patriots who will raise shout in tavo
Of the old Hero, whose reverberations will not cease
until met with the echo Of the cries of victory from
the North and South the East and West.
MANY Of the great and good men of our nation
have sgniied their intention TO be here. The Barn
burners you are aware, have also called meeting
here; there is however but little spirit enthusiasm
amongst them. We shall beat then at least two
thirds

A CONVENIENT TOOL OF PARTY.

Will honest Amos inform the public with what au-
thoriy the Clerk franks speeches and Globes by the
large package weighing three pounds no,c when
but a few weeks since he was told by the same I" ho
nest Amos" that it was entirely against law Wee
not speak of the infamous official falsehood of
which Amos was convicted in that matter, but to
show the people the conduct of this Clerkthis plant
tool of the Executive. During the session the Wigs
intended to keep pace with the Locos in sending
through the mail intelligence to the people. Then
it was thought sin for the Clerk TO frank-now on
the adjournment of Congress, was thought that
Amos and Blair would occupy the field here alone,
numbering up the folding with their vile trash it
is found convenient to revive the practice of the Clerk
frank, and since the adjournment it has been freely
used and is now, common, on Loco Foco speeches,
the trottor on Penn. avenue.
We do not complain of this. We believe it is all
right for the Clerk to use his frank for the benefit OF
the people We complain that rules should be esta-
blished and violated and reestablished to suit party
convenience. We complain the meanness and hy-
pocrisy of the Globe in charging, as an offence upon
the Wings, what the " Destrucivcs" do extensively
themselves.

UNION OF PAPERS.

ed papers be long, distinguished, and profitable
to the proprietors The "Times and STAR will

ton of N. i. Eldredge, Esq, with whom one of
the editors of this paper was formerly associated
in conducting the New York Times To the
ability, industry, and sound Republican princi-
pies of our friend, we eagerly embrace this occa-

now, without arrogance or egotism, that no paper

SUPPRESSION OF NEWSPAPERS.

We are constantly receiving advces from our
friends and subscribers in different parts Of the
country, that the Madisonida does not reach
them. We have not doubt that they are stop
ped on the way designedly, by some Of the IN
derlings of the Post Office Department. Every
man who wishes the success of the opposition
cause, should do his utmost to detect and bring
TO conviction these lawless interferers with the
contents OF the mails. The Petersburg lntelli-
gencer has the following remarks:
The robbed Letter Mail recently found in Roanoke

Gently made there, large mass OF the "Log Cabin

many too much mutlated and destroyed by wet to
The spot at which they were thrown out is more
convenient for the purpose, and favorable for
concealment than any other the line from Peters
burg to Halifax, and this may account for the fact
that the thief who robbed the Letter Mail and the de-
predators on the Wing papers, sought the spot
conceal their msdeeds and these could not have been
committed at the same time-the Letter Mail being
one from the South and the Paper Mails from the
North, of various dates
is probable that the latter offenders acted without
instructions, and it is not presumed that they emana

An agent of the Post Office Department accompa

should know who IT Is that investigates the contents
OF the mail bags, and thus disposes of portion of
them If an inquiry is instituted testimony no
doubt be elected. The Postmaster General has issu-
ed prohibition against sending newspapers other
wise than in the mail, and who has access
to it prevents those papers which are unpaatabe to
the powers that be from reaching their destination

Tennessee, have PRESENTED Governor Polk, of that
State, as follows
The Executive of our State, James X. Polk, in
stead of being found at his post executing the laws,
and devsing means for improving the deplorable
dlion of the country and restoring it to the pros
pery it has lost, he, said Governor is found ira
versing the State, conducting electioneering
pagn for the elevation of Others and keep train
the system which is so oppressive and in power the
rulers who ask power at such price.
This we present as most serious grievance
dcrelection of duty in who ought to be high
functonary--an evil example of others who may be
prompted TO do the like, and which, in the end, will
prove the overthrow of our free institutions.
We therefore call for change of rulers and in
the spirit of that freedom which we much prize we
call upon every to inquire, and as he wishes to
avert the horrors of Civil War, that in November

means of the balotbox, make the change and revolu
