the result Of passionate appeals 10 the Pirate feel
ings efe Judges" these and such like views the editor
endorses as " a nell reasoned, and logical eranina
tion IF the case"
As the occasion for the studied falsehood and hy
pocrisy OF these Northern Locos has passed away
with the defeat of their candidate for the Presidency
we should not be surprised to a strange transfgu-
ration among them on this subject The profoundest
teachers of their doctrines have already declared that
their submated principles essentially hostile 10
slayery,-as we have doubted they were to all
vested rights and established order Of things That
the principles Of such party in exact proportion
to their selnterest, is very fairly acknowledged by
the editor Of the York (Pa.) Gazette few weeks
since, in the following language;
we opsefNe III the w estminster Nd Democrat
an advertisement offering reward for the apprehen-
sion OF runaway negro. The York Gazette is re-
quested to copy the notice We have only to saw as
reason for not publishing the advertisement that we
long since resolved that paper under our control
should be used in the work Of recalling 10 bondage
fugitive slave We adhere to that resolution---and
we are not sure that should not aid instead of i'm
peding the efforts Of the runaway to his liner
ty.
The South has said that she does not desire the
interference of the Democracy Of the North in the
contest between aboonism and savery-and the
South will find that sone hundred thousand Northern
Democrats will take hen at her word"
When these some hundred thousand Northern
Democrats" shall make their demonstrations, these
editors and the Elk Russia Minister OF Philadelphia
have alike purposed and predicted, of the South
shall then be well assured how appreciate professed
Northern men NTH Southern principles. If Amos
Kendall shall become New York Editor, look for
him in this squad about twelve months hence. He
has just the kind of patriotism that would be likely
next to devclope itself in this way; and his genius
would enable him 10 flourish to great advantage in
such labor of love. O.

CooN SKrNs.-The Wings having recently been
termed the Coon Skin party" by loco foco member
in the Ohio Legislature MIR. Worthington, a wing,
made answer that the Coon Skin was not an emblem,
but warning. In the early history of Ohio, il was
the currency Of this State. The farmers then ex-
changed it for the luxurics they used When the log
cabins were well decked with Coon Skins, they could
drink Rio coffee, but when not, they drank Rye
The Coon was no favorite with the log cabin boys.
They well knew that in spite of all his winning WAYS
which made him the sweetest little fellow in the
world when fairly tethered he was Sub-treasurer
in principles and practice-n short, he would STEAL
and therefore the men Of the West had recently nail
ed his hide 10 the wall Of their log cabins as warning
to public punderers, on large scale that similar fate
awaited them. No wonder that the Coon Skin was
hateful TO their eyes.

THE LAND SYSTEM.

While discussion in relation to this impor-
tant subject is going on in Congress, and inte-
resting all who are likely to have influence with
the coming Administration, we beg leave TO
direct attention to series of articles now in
course Of publication in this paper. They will
be found TO disclose an intimate knowledge OF
the details of the system, probably worthy of an
efficient head of that branch Of the public SER
vice. The present Commissioners, or any future
one, may, we think, consult these articles with
profit

FOR THE MADIsoNiAN
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

Who estimate the influence of an intelligent
aIectionae, and faithful mother on the character OF
her son At the age Of about sixteen Mr.. Adams
received from his mother letter in 1888 in which
the following paragraph -" You will doubtless have
heard Of the death of your worthy grandpapa Rev,
Mr.. Smith, of Weymouth before this reaches yon.
He left you legacy valuable than gold or sill
vcr ne left you his blessing and his prayers that you
might return to your country and friends, improved in
knowledge and matured in virtue that you might be-
come useful citizen guardian of the laws, liberty,
and religion Of your country, your father Che was
pleased to say had already been. Lay this bequest
up in your memory, and practise upon IL; believe me,
you will find it treasure, neither moth nor rust can
dcvour."
If there is any man, who is now pre-eminenty
guardian of the laws and liberty" of his country
If there is any statesman Of incorrupblc integrity
and pure patriotism whose character should shame
the seshness, and subserviency, and corruption of
muudes and attract youth to the path of pefse-
verng industry and stern uprightness and regulated
virtue that man and statesman will be acknow-
lodged to be JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. A.

FOR THE MADIsoNrAN

The Loco-foco Evening Post of New York, the
haDd-and-glove partisan Of Mr. Van Buren-a leader
OF that party so recently ambitious to humbur the
South with their devotion TO Southern interest and
with their incessant accusations against the Wing
party on the same subject is obviously well disposed
TO hoist the anti slavery banner and doubtless will do
so as soon his hopes are sufficiently encouraged

MAIL SERVICE FOR is4i.
Posr OrrrcE DEPARTMENT, Jan. II, 1871,

IOsI OffItB JAM - 1890
Sir,--In compliance with the second section
Of the act of the I'd Of July, 1885, TO reorganize
the Post Office Department, have the honor 70
submit estimates for the service OF that depart
ment. for the year commencing July !, 1871.
For three years past the increasing demands
for mail service have exceeded the means oil the
Department 10 supply them. And those de,
mands will rather be increased than diminished
during the next fiscal year.
But as the expenditures OF this Depar'men.
are 10 be provided for from its own resources,
must be governed in submitting estimates ior
appropriations by the probable amount OF inc re-
venue which will accrue, rather than by The ex-
tent of the demands of the country Tor mail ac-
commodations.
The first quarter of the current fiscal year mas
exhibited decline of about five per cent. as COM
pared with the corresponding quarter OF the last
wear; the accounts of the second quarter are not
closed, but, unless there is an improvement IN
the two last quarters, there may be declension
in the revenue Of the year ending the SUN OF
June last.
Ii is believed however, that the next fiscal
wear will exhibit an improvement in the revenue,
equal at least 10 six per cent over that OF the past
year.
Upon this assumption, the revenue Tor the
year commencing the first OF July, 1S4l, VIII
amount to $4,Sl1,620, which forms the basis OF
the estimates submitted.
The amount OF revenue, il is estimated, will
be required to be expended for the mail service
for the year commencing on the first OF July,
