UN1oN.--The resolutions Of the Ulic'
Convention, says tie New York correspon
dent of tho Washington Union, are not ye
received, though the greater portion Of the
address is in town. That document is gen
orally regarded here as Of a moderate and
conciliaiory spirit. The democracy Of the
whole Union must see with satisfaction tho
following declaration on an important and
difficult qnestion---a declaration which
should put TO rest the misstatemen's and
misconceptions that have been current in
too many quarter. 1t is in reference 10 the
subject Of slavery in Nv teHitery:
"Fourihly. Although such are the opin-
ions we entertain upon this important ques-
ton, and which we feel il 10 be a conscien-
tious duty TO maintain 10 tho utmost, unless
convinced ofiis injustice and unconstitution-
ality, we have never sought to impose them
upon Others; still less have we made mn &C.
ouiescence in our views of the subject a
controlling test of the presidential election,
as has been unjuslly charged upon U.S.
The annals Of our party proceedings may be
safely challenged for the proof that any such
test has been advanced by US. We hapt
neper made such a test, nor will we submit
10 il, when made by others; nor can the
democratic masses of this State be induced
to sustain those who do either"

TnE PRoGREss OF CoRRUPTIeN.-In the
early Republican times, our Patriot Fore
fathers stoutly contended that all laws should
be based on the consent Of the people, ex-
pressed through their Representatives. =
This was the claim in the days Of Hancock,
Jefferson, Henry and Adams. Now, howev-
er, hostile usage is growing up. The con-
sent Of the people expressed by their Repro
seniatyes is not considered enough. For
the last few years the whig party have claim
cd that an act, before it can be operate on
favored class, must have in addition TO the
consent Of the people, expressed through
their representatives, "Me consent of the
banks" Sach a provision was inserted in
the amended tax law passed by the whig
Legislature this winter, and several oiheI
acts contained simillr provision. By this
il will be seen that new though perhaps
less pure idea Of Repnblicanisu than our
patriot forefathers dreamed Of is coming In
to vogue. Now the consent Of classes
overrides and nullifes the consent of the
people. What are we coming to?

CITY OF WASHINGTON.
SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. o, .is4s.


In publishing this able and elaborate exposition of the
state of very important and interesting branch of the
public service we cannot but express qualification
tbe results which discoses. and the testimony which it
hears 10 the faithful and efficient administration of the
DEPARTMENT under its present head. Excluding the for
ejrn mail service. which is almost entirely the work of
The present administration, observe that during the
mast three years. the amount of service performed by the
department has constantly increased and the cost OF thai
service as constantly decreased During this PERIOD
The domestic mail service has increased 10 per cent?
and iis cost has diminished more than l5i per cent !
During the last fiscal year the transportation oil the
mails has increased more than tco millions OF miles, the
length of the routes being increased more than nine thou
sand miles and for the same period the cost OF this IN
creased transportation has been diminished as compared
with that of the preceding year, by more than tpslus
osand dollars Our foreign mails transported every
other month $500 miles and back, at cost OF $00,50O
The post routes within the United States the 3oth OF
Iune last were more than 10000 miles in length and
the annual transportation of the mail upon them was more
than fory.one millions of miles. The number OF post
Offices a, the same time was l6,l59 being 1913 more
than those of the previous year.
The report announces the gratifying fact that the 6nan
cal state of the department will, with proper mOdfca
lions OF the existing law previously recommended justi-
iy the reduction of letter postage TO the uniform rate of
five cents for single halfounce letter. any distance
This is great triumph for the friends of free postage
and reflects high credit the present administration of
the department,
The first organization of the low postage system
effected in ls5 by the present Postmaster General Many
persons were appehensve of It's and predicted
lis failure They declared tina: it would prove constant
tax upon the general treasury and that would impose
higher tariff, 10 fall most heavily upon the South, to
keep the system going. We hoped for different
suit and we predicted that, if we'll managed, the
nues from low postage would yearly increase in con-
sequence of the comparative cheapness OF letters and that
would support itself without any drain the general
treasury
The organization has been admirably conducted under
the present Postmaster General Owing in part TO good
management the is increasing, and the postage
is becoming lower and lower. We congratulate the
country upon this result.
We commend torarticuar attention the remarks OF the
Postmaster General upon this whole subjec--upon the
foreign mail service-and upon the position which the
department should occupy respect TO party politics
The report is written throughout with great cearness
and ability.

Some suppose that the quicksilver mine of California
may prove valuable than its pIacers of gold
The high price of quicksilver important material
for extracting gold from its combinations, has hitherto
prevented the working OF many of the mines. Should
this treasure continue to be abundant it promise.
to do, and this specimen of cnnabar indicates, the
quicksilver mines of California will probably prove the
richest in the world
