Little was done in either House. The
acting President of the SENATE was author
lied to appoint all the committees. Col.
BENTON gavenotice of a score or so of bills
which he designs to offer, among them one
granting lands for the construction of rail

should fire upon them And in conformity
with his threat, he moved his vessel to
within hundred yards of the Director, SO
as to bring her effectively under his guns.
Without support or protection of any kind,
acting only as the agents of the company,
The officers were obliged to submit. 1t is
to be regretted that this course was adopt
ed, for the sooner matters i San Juan are
brought to an issue the better.
1t is clear that Great Britain does not in
tend to reIinquish her hold on San juan
and that in open and fragrant defiance of
her stipulations she still both q assumes do
minion" and exercises it in the most ar
bitrary manner in Central America. San
Juan is as effectively q occupied" by her az
Liverpool. These matters must soon come
up before Congress, and we have q right
to expect that both Houses will thoroughly
investigate them. If the Clayton and Bull
war Treaty is not regarded in its direct and
obvious provisions, it is very certain it will
not be in its more obscure ones. A rigid
adherence to its terms should be insisted
on, or it should be abrogated.
And while upon this subject it seems to
us a reason for surprise that in the whole
course of our national existence, no Ameri-
can vessel of war has been seen in q Cen
trail American port. Our citizens there
are four-fold the number Of those of any
and all other nations-yet while English
French, Danish, and even Gillian national
vessels are almost constantly on the coast,
our people are left unsupported, Who
believes that the recent outrages in San
Juan would have occurred if the smallest
vessel in our Gulf Squadron had been pre-
sent there!

and fix the expense OF advertising on those
who ought TO pay it.
We wish the P. NJ. G. had been
trife less polite about the Franking Privi-
lege. 1t Is in plain English an aristocratic,
irrational, scandalous nuisance, and ought
at once to be abolished The official cor
respondencc of the Post Office Department
ought to pass free through the Mails, and
nothing else. Iii an abuse, an oppres-
sion, an outrage, for the Government to
take money out Of the pockets Of those
who use the Mails and support them to pay
the cost of sending carloads of Presidents
Messages, Treasury Reports, Patent Re
ports, &c. to Tom, Dick and Harry free
Of Postage If the documents are good for
anything, who should pay the cost Of carry
ing them if not those who receive them
Is it not enough to pay out of the Treasury
the men who compile the facts and write
the documents, and print them But so
much as comes out of the Treasury, is
matter between Congress and the Country;
but when it comes to double-charging let
ters and papers that do payin order to send
another batch without pay, we lack patience
with the stupidity which tolerates such fla
grant wrong If Congress sees fit to take
money from the Treasury to post-pay
several barns full of documents per annum,
that is another matter but to seem gener-
Gus at the expense of an overtaXed class is
false pretense and swindling. No More
Franhing' is essential to any honest ad-
ustment of the rates of Postage and we
like the idea of including Newspaper Ex-
changes in the general reform. We re-
ceive bushel of papers per day that we
should dispense with if Free Exchanges
were abolished, but new and better sys-
tenn would soon replace the present. Let
us have a thorough and no halfway Post
age Reform.
We trust no one will misunderstood

not above indicated, we heartily second

LINTON, in NEississippi.

Judge William L. Sharkey, who was
about the only Wing coa%ed into the first
Nashville Convention, and who was made
its President, presided over great Union
demonstration at Jackson, Miss. on the
18th ult. Gen. Patrick Henry, Hon. Dan
iel Mayes and some twenty others, were
Vice Presidents, while Senator Foote, Gen.
Isaac N. Davis, ex-Att'y. Gen. John d.
Freeman, and others were speakers and
managers. The meeting was composed OF
members of both the old parties, though
more considerably of Wings, and all former
party ties were dissolved in view Of the
lowering front of Disunion The South
ron (Whig State Paper changes its name
to The Union Flag and becomes the or
gan of the new party, as The Mississlp-
plan is of its antagonist, to which the
Governor and majority of the Legislature
adhere.
Among the Resolves of the Union
lists, we find the following:
ments of the late session Of Congress, and feel
strong attachment and veneraton for the Union
established by our forefathers, still we declare
that violations of our rights may occur which
would amount to "intolerable OPPRESSION and
would Justify resort to measures OF resistance
among which are the following:
l. The interference by Congressional legisla-
ton with the institution of Slavery in the States.
.. Interference in the trade in slaves between
the States.
3. The Abolition by Congress of Slavery in the
District of Columbia.
4. The refusal by Congress to admit new
State into the Union on the ground OF her tolera-
ting Slavery within her limits
>. The passage Of any TAR by Congress pro-
hitting Slacery IN any Of tie Territories.
6. The repeal Of the Fugitive Slave law or the
refusal by the General Government to enforce the
constitutional provision for the reclamation of
Fugitive Slaves. But that we are and at all
times opposed to any agitation, by conventions
OF otherwise, Of these questions, reservlng the
mode and measure of redress until such injury
shall be inflicted.
This, you observe, is Unionism at the
South, and is in full communion with our
Committee Of Peace and Safety but
suppose a Northern meeting had resolved
in "a that we were all for Union, bat would
resist and secede in case Texas were piled
on to the Slaveholding end of the Union,
deranging the balance of power, or in case
the South did not stop imprisoning and
selling Northern freemen entering her ports
in Northern coasting vessels, on bare sus-
picion that they might, could would or
should have been sIavcs-how would that
have done
