Summary.

The most interesting information from Wash;
lngton, received last evening, is the proceedings
of the Senate, sent exclusively to the Herald, by
our special reporters, on the Territorial Bill The
speech of Mr.. COrwin, particularly, is said to be
an overwhelming effort, stripping the whole SUBJ
ject of all extraneous matter, and leaving the ques
ton in the naked form of the admission or exclu-
sion OF slavery, planting himself on the compact of
l7s7, in regard to the three territories, saying,
with the fathers of the constitution he would
stand or fall.
General Worth and Staff have arrived at New
Orleans

MisMAAAGEMENr OF THE MAI.s.-For the nine-
ty-ninih time we find ourselves compelled to write
an article with q is headln--,ot because il is
our choice, but because Cave Johnson has actu-
ally, apart from the Uaion at Washington, found
an apoogist for the remissn-ss, careessness and
neglect which has characterised the Post Office
Department since he assumed the direction OF
that branch OF the government. This apologst Is
the organ of the hunkers, in this city, IN which
Paper an article appeared yestt rday, evidently
written tor the express purpose of deceiving the
public IN the premises, by giving them to under
stand that the complaints which we have over and
again made, are dictated by hostility towards the
Postmaster General, more than by cases OF his
neglect. Tke insinuatlon is false, palpably false.
In answer TO the assertion that our complaints
were so often repeated last fall that Cave Johnson
directed the Postmaster at New York to look into
the subject, and inform the Department; that this
was done for some months, when it appeared that
thirty one papers and two bundles were misdlrect-
ed by those employed in the Office of the Herald,
and nineteen letters were addressed 10 the editor
of this paper, informing him of these Irregularities
in our office-we have a word TO say. Ii appears
that this looking into the subject continued for
several months, with the above result; part of
tradicung it; but part of which boldly assert is
false. Two bundles, containing from five to ten
papers each, were not misdirected at this office
on the contrary, for we reeollect the circumstance
perfectly well, one of them was msdirected at the
post-ofice In this city, and 1t occurred this way.
II was dlrectedt to Augusta, Georgia; we believe
was broken by the severe handling which 1t re-
ceived in the New York post Office, and some one
Il L r.
replace the cover injured; and, in doing so, mis-
took the Augusta mentioned in the original label,
and directed IT TO Augusta in other State, or
to Augusta, in purgatory, for all the good it did us
our subscribers.
So much, then, for the assertion that this number
of mistakes were discovered after careful exam
ination for several months; but what has this to
do with the broad assertion which we heretofore
made, and now relterate, that the Post Office De-
paItment never has been so badly conducted as it
has been during Mr.. Cave Johnson's reign? We
repeat it; and because Mr.. Johnson, through his Or
gam asserts what he tells us is the result of care
full examination, namely, the discovery of a GER
tain number of mistakes, half of which we have
no means of denying but the other half of which
we have part proved to belong to the Post Office;
we will detail the number of complaints which we
have received for the present month of July,
portion of which is not yet expired, giving dates
and localities

SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.-But short time since
the whole community was deeply interested, ap-
parenty for the welfare of the oppressed and down.
trOdden people of Ireland and all manifested
disposition to assist them IN their escape from the
thraldom of monarchy. That feeling has almost
entirely subsidized.
At one time there was large amount of money
raised, but what disposition was made of it we
have not been able to learn but without that, the
time fast approaching when that people will rise
in their strength, and break the chains of des-
potism which have so long and firmly bound them.
Some of their best and most patriotic men have
been condemned and sent TO distant prison,
while their children and families are left to brook
the insult thus cast upon them. The great leaver
is at work, and though the eagle eyes of British
vassals are closely watching them, the work goes
on silently and surely. The harvest approaches.
and with il the deadly struggle for liberty. The
firm determination of those who fully able TO
appreciate their county's wrongs is gathering
stronger and stronger, until the time arrives to de-
clare the severance Of the bond which binds them,
and liberty be sown broadcast over the island.
II the spirits are true, and defend boldly their
rights, they can sing" The harvest is past, the
summer Is ended, and we are saved from the
tyranl's power"

GENERAL. TAYLOR AND HIS ACCEPTANCE OF THE
NoMMATIoN.-For some weeks past the wings
have been in a state Of terrible excitement,
count Of their not having received an answerfr from
General Taylor to the letter communicating to him
the fact Of his having been nominated by the wing
national convention at Philadelphia, as their can
didate for the Presidency. Various were the con-
lectures as TO the cause of the delay, and many
the matter.
The whole difficulty, however, is now explain
ed. 1t appears that the old General has been har-
raised almost to death, and his change most un-
warrantably drawn upon for postage, by the dirty
politicians of the day, in every part of the country
The old general got tired of this impudence, and
concluded to let all letters sent to him, except
those coming from friends whose writing be re-
cognised, go to their proper place-the dead letter
Office at Washington.
A whole bundle, numbering some forty-eight,
reached that destination in this way; but IT untor
tunatey happened that the letter informing him of
his nomination was among them. He according
ly applied for the return to the post office at New
Orleans, of the whole batch, and when they shall
have been receivedby him,we shall, no doubt, have
his answer in short time.
The long agony is, therefore, nearly over, and
we may shortly look for the answer.
OCEAN STEAMERs.-Our neighbors in Boston ex-
pect that the new steamer Europa, Captain Lott,
will arrive at that lort at noon to-day, thus giving
her passage OF ten days
Since the America came over In ten days and
ten hours, the people of Boston have become more
enthusiastic in favor OF their steam packets, as
they call the Cunard steamers. They are so Wild
ly delighted when an American steamer is beaten
by one of them; that no would ever have sup
posed that the tea was thrown into Boston harbor
on the eve OF the American revolution.
The steamship United States, Captain Hack
staff Is now In her fifteenth day, if she sailed from
Havre on the 10th inst 1t thought tn at she did
not leave on that day.

Now here are the complaints which we have re-
ceived for the month OF July alone (part of which
is unexpired) and can it be said that we charge
the Postmaster General with carelessness with
out cause q! We care nothing whether Cave
Johnson or his subordinates are to blame. 1t is
all the same to us and to our subscribers.
AS TO the assertion that the Postmaster of New
York has written to us several times in some
months, we cheeriully acknowledge that we have
received III the last ttcelre months, few letters
from him of the character mentioned; but that
does not interfere with the general principle
we contend for, particularly when he disco
vers, as he asserts, thrty-three mistakes in our
office in some months, while we find on file
in our Office twenty-three complaints received In
July, and thirytwo in June, less than two months,
to say nothing of the twenty letters, or there
abouts, relative to lost subscription money, which
we placed in the hands of Mr. Holbrook, the special
agent of the Post Office department, on the 2lst INST
Nor does 1t weaken the assertion that we have so
often made.
We have a great mind TO bundle off all those
complaints to Cave Johnson himself, TO convince
him OF his incapacity to hold the office of Post
master General, together with the bushel basket
full of the same sort which we received in the
months OF March, April, and May. We really be-
leve that If we were to collect all the letters of
complaint received at the Herald office since Cave
Johnson has been at the head of the department,
IN one pile, and set fire TO them, they would illu-
inmate the country from this city to Washington,
the Post Office than any thing else We may do
this some day, perhaps on the Eth of next March

a
The HERALD was commenced foi free
publication. This merit it has maintained to
the present time; no one can say he has been
unable to get his views communicated
through its pages, in consequence Of their
opposition TO those of lis conductor. In this,
the HERALD is a true type Of Western spirit,
which is embodied in the lines of Western
poet
''lf free thought seek expression,
Speak IL boldy-speGk itau."
Yes, my brother, of whatever name, creed, or
party, you can speak freely here. Here is
one place for you, where the air does nor sa-
vor ofany fapkly iptolerani odor, and where
Ione does not attempt to inlerpose between
Y, and your Creator. Whodar say he is
due, and bis bother is false? God is the
only Judge!

the social condi,ion Of mankind, come and
give it ulterance. Fourerisls, Commu

If you have any political docuine 10 ad

shall be heard-Whig, Democrat, or Liberi,
man-no matter who.
There is only one cundision-ihat is brev

Who, then, wishes TO hear all, and Judge
between them? Let him seek the HERALD

parties and sects? Let him cherish the spr-
| it of the HERALD, and all will melt into one

strongly with his fellow beings, and would
confer with those who are toilng for human
good? Let him join and encourage US in
the ork Of human redemption. The HER
AID shall be the link 10 bind all parties.
The saving power Of a true cducalion should
not be overlooked, for, after all, no good
can be hoped for mar, unless il be sough, in
the fuller, truer development cf the human
mind. Mind is above all, aud mast be pre-
pared for greater happiness before il can en-

The destroyer of arsiocracy, selfshness, and
