POLITICS..

Let no one be frightened at this head-as
if l were about to become a politician. or
the Telegraph political paper. have
few words to offer, under this head, by way
of explanation. 1t may he due, both to the
Telegraph and to its readers.
At The outset, disclaim any sympathy
with party politics, on either side of the
strife that is the order Of the day. With
the things that party politicians hold para
mount, l have nothing to do. But there is
a moral and religious subject in which |
am interested, and in which every true phi
lanthropist and christian is interested-viz
Anti Slavery which politicians find them
selves in contact with. Now when poIiti-
clans, Of whatever party or creed, oppose or
stand in the way of the progress Of this
great work-or any other work Of phlan-
thropy and religion-I find myself necessa-
rily in contact with Them. But let it not be
said that, because drive against those poll
ticians who oppose themselves to my car oil

with them as politicians, but as opponents
TO any part of the great work Of human ref
ormation and human salvation in which
am engaged.
These remarks have been called forth al
this time, by censure from a subscriber
and friend to the Telegraph, who is dis.
pleased with my copying from other papers
the statements showing the hostility of VIM
Henry Harrison to the Slavery cause
II occurred to ME that there light be Others

taken.

is stated that the Texan Government had Civ
en- Mexico until the LIST June to acknowledge
the independence of Texas, and if they (ths
Mexicans) fail to do so by that time, the Tex
ans intend to send their whole Navy down
on the coast of Mexico and wage an offensive
war against that country.
This intelligence came to the officer above
alluded to, direct from Commodore Moore,

who was Immediately from the seat of Gov

The Trinity river in Texas, has been navi-

Correspondence Of the Bahimore american.
WASHINGTON, June 10, 1910.
UNITED STATES SEN ATE.
PENNY POSTAGE.

PENNY IOS L AGf..
Mr.. WEBSTER offered the following resolu-
ton:
That the rates Of letter postage ought to be
reduced, and that some regulation ought to be
made by the department whereby stamp COW
ers should be used so as to lead 10 the rcdu-
ced rates of postage.
Mr.. w. said it was not his intention TO ask
action upon the above resolution at the pre-
sent session. He offered it in the hope of
bringing the attention Of the country to the
subject, which he considered of general i'm
portance. In the United Kingdom of Great
Britain, letter of an ounce or under travel
led the whole length of the Kingdom. The
stamp sy stem had been used with success al
so in Ireland.
Mr.. w. would not say how far this sub
Ject-the penny post system of England
could be adopted in this country. England
was much more populated, and we much
more widely extended than she was. He be-
lievcd, however, that the system could be in
part safely adopted in this country, and the
effect of it would he greatly TO reduce the
private letter carriage OF individuals between
city and city. 1t would also greatly increase
the letter carriage by mail, and between both
there would be but little loss to the revenue.
The resolutions Were ordered to be printed
and laid upon the table.

MORE VALUABLE TESTIMONY. Hon.
Eiisha Nhittlesey recently made speech at
Cleveland, Ohio, in the course of which he
correctly observed that no man would have
been safe if he had reported the ISLANDERS Of
"ihe party press of this day against Gen'l.
Harrison during the last war. Magnanimous
and humane, no man living, said Mr.. W.,
would go further to meet an enemy than Gen.
Harrison. During the time that was with
him, he was always the last one in camp who
closed his eyes in sleep, the last who laid HE
head upon his pallet, and the first who start
ed at the beat OF the reveille in the morn. He
was ever vigilant; and a more active, energet-
&c, business. and honest man, does not live
than Gen. Harrison. The country now looks
to him with the same confidence of success
as they did when he took command of the ar
my and drove from our land the savage Indi-
ans and the British foe.
