"a the Let JAY 1912; anything contained ia this

the contrary notwithstanding"
In thi. very clear ans unequ.yocal proposition,
The opposition sfcc'ed 70 discover the .r,.se.i
rcachcry and hypocrisy; AMI Mr. NRIsHT, IN
the fanaticsm Of his party creed, which requires
him to cni.rass, with all the subtlcty and >ophis-
try he il master Of every measure introduced 10y
he Wings to relieve the muitfarious interests OF
our naticsa prosperity. most unworthly attempted
to prove that the measure was calculated. f not

and bill of 1871. and with that view If rs effect.

ms.t ingenuity 20 the ties; in striving to maintain
his position: but a more ,icn,l failure was never
manifested on the floor OF the Senate. Nlr. NocD-
gsRr. Mr.. RIvEs and Mr.. WALysR also enter
laped the views Of the Senator from New York.
and with their accustomed energy and address.
produced e9pdl conviction in the minds OF their
hearers. IT, by their swn showing. the iallary Of
heir arruTen; had not been sufficiently ohvicus,
the calm and lucid exposition, Of the character
ard bearing of the amendment ia question, by its
able advocates, would have elaborated every
doubt. 1t was refreshing to witness the imPa'-
stoned reflections Of the Dcmocracy e. oiIoctuaily

After the rejection OF substitute for Mr. Evans
proposition, 10y Mr.. BERRIE,, and the submission
If a motion ~ Mr. BUcHiSiy 10 modify the orr
snal amendment, the Senate adjourned. On
the principle that men reluct 10 renouDce strong
y avowed opinion, even when IT i, No longer
1eiensible. presume the discussion will be- pro-
ractcd for at least day more by the discom-
hted orators. Let the people take note Of the
proceedings of the opposition in both houses OF
Congress, and they cannot fail 10 perceive the
tematic sources of tho unwarraniablc obstruction
to all necessary legislation. Ii the essential rights
and interests OF the country perscvcrngly con-
;emncd and itc honor and independence Of the
country fagtiously mensced: II our councils arc
distracted and inefficient, and afford small assu-
rance of public measures adequate to the magni-
tudc and urgency of our national wants-let the
great body Of the people scrusiaize the authors of
the evils, and apply the correction at the polls.
The studied contempt and insult which daily
heaped upon the Wing party in Congress BY the
organ Of the administration and its hreing coad ju
throughout the country, disgrace the annals Of
the press, and are imminenily calculated To Gil the
measure Of our national humiliation. If the pso-
pie can tamcly look on. and ablectly submit to the
degraded prostitution, We shall shortly be sunk in
corruption so low, that our political Institutions
NAV well become the subject of ridicue to all Eu-
rope.
The House Of Representatives have occupied the
dav in discussing the Senates amendment. to the
Navy Appropriation Bill. and from manifest ind
cations. fear rhe,will not BE- concurrcd in. There
ia seeming determination the part of the
Western and Southern portions of the House 20
carry the spirit of rctrenchmen, TO psrncious
extent, and if the Navy shall feel the effects OF
their passion. YOU may prepare 10 witness the re-
ducion Of the army to mere skeleton The
peace and prosperity of the United State. is of too
vast importance to be yielded TO party prejudice
OF to sectional policy and an appeal should come
up promptly from all quarter. Of the Union re-
buking with just severity the suicidal attempts to
destroy the dcfeaces Of the nation. Beside there
is 10 economy in th. excessive reduction OF public
expenditure. When consider the condition OF
the commercial world, and reject upon our rcla-
tions with ii-when cast our ewes around our
frontier and realize the dangers that constantly
threaten US, can wc hesitate 10 believe that our
Ptc.en, military forces arc utterly insufficient, for
the pcrilous emergencies to which We are every
hour obnoxious.
The Senate yesterday. confirmed the nomination
ofJames VI. Mclean As Register Land Office in
Illinois. and the President has superseded the Post
master at Chambersburc, Pa, and the Postmaster
at Cooperstovn. y. Y. The removed were ap-
pointed by Granger, and their successor, or enc of
them il. a thick-and.thin Loco-foco.
Yours. &c. CCRTIrs
