MR.. OGLE'S SPEECH.

We commence this week the speech d h
Ogle of Penn. on the Civil and Diplomas
preparation bill, before the House of RI
senta,ives. The speech is long and pLr
ably require all the space we can spa
three weeks but we think our reader,
not regret the time which the careful end
ton Of this document will require. Evil
seen that Mr.. Ogle does not trust to II
general and indefinite assertions, BOZ, ID
facts and produces his proofs. 1t will \
coived that the speech was on a mdaN \
mend the bill by striking out a ceraiail
making an appropriation Of S3G65, htri
tons and repairs Of the presidents hOS \
furniture &c. Now il will be r@eccoIe1
that the Tory pIesses have had much w'
about Gov. Lincoln's speech, in dlsPn'
the statements Of Mr.. Ogle, and it has !
cited an incontestable proof that Mr.. Ogle
stated that which is moi true-Gov. Lint
chairman of the committee who reported
bill, opposed the motion to strike out this eli
on the grounds that it was not unreason
or e%xtravagant, entirely mis,asiNg the 0
ofthe mover, and not pretending to dsB
in any particular, former m%isappllcslol
money or eytravagance----and he
showed what he deems real erb drogan
other and former appropriations,-Tb
press has published the former part Of
Lincoln's speech in defence of the appp;
ton, but has been careful to omit the
part.-We ask u readers to keep these
in mind as without doubt the Tories will
to Gov. Linnoln to refnte Mr.. Ogle-re
them also to remember, the famousE a M
letter written in 1928 in relation to tA,u|
agance Of Mr.. Adams. That letter f1S
a fact that the Easf-room of the Ps5i
house was furnished in a style Of an RI
magni6cense--when in truth il hdu& \
furnished at all. No wonder that the I'd
are alarmed at the disclosure Of Mr.
They tremble lest the practices Of the M
power, so utterly at war with their pre,ens
should be expos ed to the view ofan ind
community.

THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.

We Through ignorance, probably had sup
posed the post-ofiice department was organic
ed for the benefit Of the whole community
Either we are mistaken in our views upon the
subject, or the men in power view the sub
ject in a very different light; for the depart
ment is now so organized as to contribute
mainly TO promote the mad schemes and carry
forward the corrupt designs of ambitious men.
Neither the benefit or convenience of the COM
munity at large are in the least regarded by the
head of the department or the majority of his
deputies. The deputies are selected for their
known and willing submission TO the dictates
Of party discipline and for their attachment to
the party, with here and there an exception.
The post-oflice law, with all its minute re-
quirements and with all its penalties, becomes
a mere empty name in the hands Of men, the
interest of whose party is paramount TO all
. law, and whose obedience 10 the dictates OF
that party is a sure protection against all pen
alties.
What honest man doubts that the late Head
Of hal deparmant, in all his appointments and
IN all MS Instructions, has kept continually in
view, his grand and ultimate scheme Of con-
cen'raiing all power in one point Who will
deny that he has endeavored to form the de.

heartlessly sacrifice a benefactor for the at

B-TREASUR

The passage ofthis bill is but another exhi-
bition of the power of the executive, over his
followers; a power resulting from uncompro-
missing, rigid party discipline a power APP
proximating TO the power Of an absolute sove-
reign. This bill has not become the law of
the land by the free, independent, uncontroll-
ed voice ofa majority Of the representatives of
the people. What but the power of the pres
ident could, contrary TO the constitution, have
forced five men into the House to give their
votes to the darling measure, and at the same
time virtually and illegally expelling five men,
bers from their seats, to diminish the strength
Of the uncontrollaDle representatives of free
men. Had the five members from New Jer-
sey, entitled to their seats by the constitution
and the laws, been permitted to vote, the ma
jority for the bill would have been reduced to
seven, and had the absent members voted, the
majority could not have exceeded two, and if
others had not disrcgarded the will Of their
constituents, the bill could not have passed at
all. But the president had decreed what
must be done, and his will, we see, is para
mount not only to the law. of the land, but
every thing else.
Mr.. Van Buren,, judging from the tone ofhis
organ, is greatly delighted, with his success
in finally forcing thcir'obnoxious, disastrous
measure, upon the people, after repeated de.
feats. But, fellow citizens, do you indulge
the hope that he will be contented with the
control Of the purse1 Having obtained ibro'
the servile submission Of his followers, the
power to use the revenues Of the country a,
his pleasure, will he not also desire to grasp
the sword The next step cannot be more
difficult than the last. Mr.. PoiDsett's stand
ing army project, approved by the president
in his message, is not more obnoxious than
was the sub-treasury at the beginning; he may
also, as an argument in favor Of a standing
army in the United States, bring forward the
examples Of European governments; lac ma
subject his followers to tho same discipline =,
practiced for the sub-treasury so successfully
and if he should need more votes lie may witt
equal right eject from their seats, not five mel
only, but twenty, if so many may be necessa
ny, and supply their places with his own sup

passes through its various forms, and the dec
is done and the president has at his comman'
= two hundred thousand men, or more, if h
wills it. And he party will tell you it is al

We have been led to these remarks, from
some recent prohibitions under the sanction of
law o, party policy in relation TO the iranspor-
Of newspapers in the mail-stagc. 1t is said
that BIZ lac the stages are prohibited from car
rying newspapers, unless the mail contract is
taken on, with this privilege. II is of little
importance TO our purpose whether this is the
law or not. since, till the presen, day, with
the full knowledge Of the fact, the department
has silently acquicsced in the practice, even
until the law had become quite obsolete. And
even in this day of wonders, no attempt would
have been made TO enforce this law, had there
not been a well founded apprehension that the
days of the party were well nigh numbered
and il the seeds of corruption, long shrouded
in darkness, beginning TO be brought forth to
the broad light OF truth, had not given terrific
tokens Of the exposure Of wickedness in high
places, and had not the party felt the dire ne
cessity of extinguishing, TO the extent of their
power, every taper that could send forth a ray
of truth.
The reason is perfectly obvious i, is no, to
increase the revenue of the department, by
making a few more newspapers chargeable
with postage, the sum would be too paltry
even for the present administration but it is
for the purpose of preventing, as far as this
will do it, the circulation of Wing papers at
the present important period-and thereby
prevent also the diffusion of light; that light
which is so much dreaded by evil doors. 1t
may, perhaps, be replied that the prohibition
affects all the Van Buren, papers equally
with the Wing papers, as the stages can carry
neither unless in the mail This may be true
in law, but is it true in fact b? Who shall in
form of the infraction of the law when a bun
die of extra Globes, sufficient to fill a half
bushel, are sent by mail to a deputy post-mas-
ter, for gratuitous distribution, and free OF
postage too! Are the thousands of Globes,
Rough-Hewers, Patriots, &c. &c. which are
flooding the country, charged with postage, or
do they contribute to the revenue of the de-
partment, though transported at the public ex-
pence! Would an lntelligencer, a Log Cabin,
or Evening Journal, &c. escape the exactions
of the post office in such casesi
1t is in vain to talk OF equal rights while
power is in the hands of a party which regards
no law, conflicting with their own policy
which h~esitates not at any means contributing
to the accomplishment Of its ambitious pur-
poses.
The patrons of the Herald who have %receiv-
ed their papers by the stage will see the ne
necessity of aiding us in devising some other
means for sending the papers, and we trust
that our patrons will not consent to yield to
the trammels of Van Burenism, nor agree to
have the light shrouJed in darkness.

faced each other, ready for the tremendous
combat. The pipes were lighted; one of

went.
A furious set-to commenced-both of
the combatants exhibited proofs of stea-
dy, determined courage, which. in the
field of battle, or in deadly combat, foot to
foot, with sword, with spear, or with fire
arms, would have won for them everlast-
ing renown. As the smoke came thicker
and faster, they both made hideous grima-
ces, but neither of them for some time
ilinched an inch. At length Dandy jim,
whose oliactory nerves were rather sensi-
tive, exhibited signs of great distress.
This was perceived by Ben who pulled
away more furiously than before. jim,
in spite of all his struggles, could not resist
an inclination to cough. His antagonist
regarded this exhibition of weakness with
a half grin ('twas all he could of delight,
and ungenerously poured in upon him a
steady and overpowering fire, or, more
properly speaking, smoke, until the poor
fellow tainted on the spot, and fell glori-
ously on the field of honor
Ben Gangway, as soon as he could re-
cover himself sufficiently TO speak, decla-
red that he was fully satisfied, and was
warmly congratulated by his shlpmates.
Nevertheless, shortly after the battle,
while he was rinsing his mouth with APP
suds, with convulsivc twist of his wiry
features, which gave his face Resemblance
of pitch pine knot, he declared in his
most emphatic manner, that, whatever
might be the consequence, he would nevel
fight like gentleman again!
