AUTHORSHIP OF LAFFTTE

In the December No. Of the Knickerbocker the
editor made charge of plagiarism against Professor
lngraham stating, son the authority Of correspon-
dent" that he had not himself written the novel of
Laftte," but that it was written by another person
from whom Mr. Ingraham borrowed the MS, and
copying it, published it as his own work On read
ing this charge at once convinced that it was
utterly void of foundation for if Mr. Ingraham
needed borrowed MS for one of his many works.
he required MS. from which to copy all his subse-
quent ones. All his works bear the impress of the
same mind, and of thought and express
sion. His works have strongly marked individual
ty and there can be but opinion that all proceed
ed from the m ind.
Mr. lngrahan we see has published card and
correspondence in the New York Express of Saturday,
in which he has not only successfully indicated him
self from the bold charge in the Knickerbocker but
proven that there exists ground whatsoever for the
imputaton. Mr.. Clark's "a,ahorty," in reply to a
note from Mr.. Ingraham says " the article was not
only published without my authority but without my
knowledge, nor has the spirit the matter Of ii ere
been communicated by to any body.n
In Mondays Express, Mr.. Clark publishes a card
in reply in which he also says that his informants

We refer those interested in curious literary con-
troversy to the New York Express, of the 18th and
18th inst This unjust attack and triumphant vind-
cation is calculated to benefit where was intended
to nhict an injury.
LATTE was written in Cincinnati, aud F. w. Tho
mas our fellow townsman, was at the time resi-
dent of that city, and on terms of daily intimacy with
Professor ngraham The Professor was in fhe habit
in the evening of reading La6tc, as he wrote it, to
Mr. Thomas, who therefore has every reason to
know that the work is original, especially as Mr.
Hyde was at that time fellow boarder at the Broad
way House with Professor Ingraham, and acquainted
with MIR. Thomas, who never heard him make any
allegation of the kind

IN SENATE,
"WEDNESDAY, January |


A. message was received from the House of Repre-
sentatves, stating that they had passed resolutions
testifying their respect for the memory Of DAVIS
DMocK, jr,, late a member of that body who died
recently at his residence at Monrose in the State OF
Pennsylvania.
Mr., BUCHANAN presented petition from citi-
zcns of Philadelphia asking for repeal of the Bank
rupt law unless certain amendments be made thereto
in accordance with the opinions of the petitioners
Mr., BENTON presented petition from the city of
New York. praying that the Bankrupt law may be
repealed.
Mr.. ALLEN presented petition from citizens of
Ohio county in the State Of Virginia. praying that an
amendment may be made TO the Bankrupt law, in
Guiding all Incorporated bodies, and especially banks
and bankers, whether Incorporated or not
NIcssrs. EVANS, TALLMADGE, BAYARD, Bu-
CHANAN, MANGUM, and CLAY, each presented
remonstrances against repeal or postponement of
the Bankrupt law
Mr.. KING presented the Joint resolutions of the
Legislature of Alabama, asking that Congress may
establish certain post routes in that State which he
observed, matter Of great Importance so far as
regarded the intercourse between different sections Of
Alabama.
Mr.. BUCHANAN presented petition from cit-
zeus of northwestern Pennsylvania praying Congress
to make an appropriation to improve the harbor Of
Erie, and carry on the works which have been alrea
dy commenced, and which will be destroyed if no sp-
preparation be made for that purpose

ment. Here are certain great works Of internal
improvement, constructed by the genius and
enterprise OF individuals, under authority of the
States, of which the General Government is
forced TO avail itself, for the transportation of
the mails, at all times, and of its military forces
and munitions in time OF war. Nothing but an
arbitrary exercise of power by the United States,
on the hons principle that ''might right can
deprive these companies Of the power TO extor
what they please, within their chartered privi-
leges, for the use of their works; and in this
state of things, the Postmaster General has the
forecast to propose-what2 not that the Gen
eral Government shall assert the right to coerce
establishments already existing, or that il should
extend its patronage and influence by seeking
TO get direction of those hereafter to be con-
structed; but that it shall now secure forever, by
an arrangement agreeable and beneficial TO all
parties, the perpetual use of those already finish
ed for all the purposes Of the Government this
right of use TO be paid for, with bonds of the
Government bearing a moderate interest, and
redeemable in twenty or thirty years. In the
mean time, instead of reducing facilities in the
West. as the editor Of the New Era asserts,
this arrangement would release the $780,
600 now paid to these companies leaving that
sum, now necessarily employed on the Atlantic,
10 be applied by the Postmaster General TO the
restoration of mail service throughout the coun-
try, which his predecessors have been obliged to
abridge, and enabling him especially TO extend
his facilities in the " far pest," where the ever
increasing demand for additional routes far ex-
ceeds their income. In whatever light the plan
suggested by Mr.. Wicklffe is regarded, its econ
omy, its benefcence, its forethought, and above
all its tendency and design to augment the
means of additional service to the neip and
growing nest, are apparent and undeniable.-
Then as to the charge Of the New Era, that no
attention is paid to cases of irregularities
and depreciation in the Vest, II would seem
if by some unaccountable faulty this assailant
selects for attack the most nvulnerable points in
our new Postmaster Generals administration of
his Department. The system Of special agen-
cies was among the first objects of Mr.. Wick
iffe's scrutiny on his accession to office, -anx-
ious to extend the. sphere of their labors, he at
once cut down their salaries and increased their
number; and to what district does his accuser
suppose they were assigned2 OF the ten spe-
cial agents, sepen Of them are at this time &C

Such now has become the policy of the Rich

four months past INDUCED in the coarsest abuse
Of the President, having finally exhausted the
vocabulary of epithets have set their types TO a
different tune, and now step forward as his coun-
sellers and advisers. ''Mr. Tyler must discard
the evil counsellors who beset him and who ne
kno,o are only using him for their own ends"
They kno1o Webster and Forward, Spencer
and Legare, and Wickliffe-these dwelling ed-
tors would have the world believe are their
cheek-by- jow intimates, and have appraised them
that they use the President for the accomplish
ment of their opn ends. Can editorial fhenda
city go farther yet these are the counsellors
who these old pretenders, and now new con
verts to Jeiersonian Republicanism would have
the President discard. We suppose that the

than throw off the counseors who beset him.

THE ST. LOUIS NEW ERA'S ATTACK ON
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.

ar If the suggestion of the Postmaster General in
relation to the payment of gross sum to sec uIe the
right of way the several railroads used for the
veyance of the mail in the Atlantic and Middle States,
should be entertained by Congress, il will involve the
creation Of public debt Of eight millions of dollars.
1t is at least remarkable, that while the Postmaster
General himself Western man. does not hesitate to
recommend such expenditure in order TO facilitate
and regularity in the transportation of the mai,
he refuses TO ST. Louis OF the principal points in
the correspondence of the Government the advantage
Of DAILY mail because he may thereby save to the
Department some 1000 per annum. The atmos-
phere of Washington seems to infect all our public
men with forgetfulness of the protection and the JUS
tice which is due to Western interests and is no
where visible than in the Post Office Department
If mail fails in the East, the Department is agog at
the intelligence. II robbery take place in any Of the
subordinate Offices or along the line special agents
put in requson to ferret the culprt. In the
West, where there multiplied of such things
no attention is paid to Them and the public convc-
niece is disregaded
The facilities they possess for that purpose
appear to be, with some editors, an irresistible
temptation to throw into their papers, every con
ceit that crosses their imagination, however
crude or malevolent. Such reckless conductors
of the press would do well to remember the ia
bic Of old Esop, which, in latin, begins puer
pascebdt Ores and which, in plain English,
ends with the proverb ga 49, is not to be be-
leved though he speak the truth"
The proposal of the Postmaster General,
about which this editor Of the New Era seems
to know so little, would form, truly, if realized
a new and brilliant era in the annals Of his De-
partment. Its design was plainly to supersede
by permanent arrangement, co operating al all
points along the whole line, the present disjoint-
ed and precarious system Of separate and tempo
rary contracts; which, being made at different
times, with various companies, each trying to
make the best terms for itself, leaves all of them
free to play the game of fast and loose with the
Government. Under Mr.. Wickliffe's plan, eco
nomy and uniformity would take the place of un-
certainty, resulting from i'll arranged schedules,
and the power of debating terms to the Depart
