"!lon. MIR. McRobers, U. S. Senate"
Having read this letter, and shown that, besides an.
swering the letter for the papers, it went further, and
recommended MIR. Churchill, and in the same bun
die of other recommendations in the hands of the Sc
nate committee, Mr.. d. snid he would here follow The
Postmaster Generals movement in similar case, and
inquire of the committee if this paper not in their
possession as part of the Churchill papers, and whether
they had given out copies, authorized the publication
in the MaGi.onian.
(slr. McRobers said no copy had been given cut,
and Mr.. Merrick understood 10 answer the same
woy.)
MIR. B. continued You hear the answer, and now
you that the post Office veil Of secrecy has a rent in
it, through which editors look into the archives of
the department, though members Of Congress aud their
constituents cannot.
Mr.. b then submitted his resolution, as follows:
Resotred, That the Committee tho Post Office and
Post Roads he instructed to inquire in what manner

certain papers supposed to be filed in the General Post
Office Department. in relation TO the appointment OF
Mr. Watson as postmaster ut ST. Louis, 10 wits letter

trct courts Of the u S.
Mr. BUCHANAN observed that he rose to discuss
this important with considerable dstrust in
his ability 10 do justice 10 the side he should take in
the argument; but he was not without hope that he
should be able TO satisfy the Senate that there were
ample grounds for the assertion that such bill as that
now before it ought not to pass He held that, when
ever there was danger Of legislation trenchng upon
the rights of sovereign States ii better to refrain
