The Senator from Michigan (fr. CAss) inquiries

right to make precedent Now, am disposed to
that question with perfect simplicity, and with
distinct affirmation of the proposition itself Unques-

affairs of this Government to do any act Which, in
judgment the circumstances which surround may
quire and if these circumstances have not previously
existed, by the performance Of that act establish
precedent But how beg leave to ask Of the honorable
Senator did this doctrine precedents to be brought
into our discussons Was it introduced by the oppo-
nens Of the resolution, or by the advocates Of amend

these resolutions sought rest it upon the foundation Of
precedent; and what have said upon the subject of
precedent has been merely show that that foundation
upon which they proposed to erect their uperstucture
an insufficient and unavaing one Ii the circumstances
of this justify the act you about to perform

that it wants precedent if circumstances justify it. But
when you have sought to rest this proposition upon the
basis Of precedent have said to you that the crcum

1.-THE Philadslphia papsrs al

" The Philadelphia papers are
recording the successes of a finished
swindler who palmed himself of as
a divine from Tennessee. He sue
ceeded in selecting from the store OF
S. NJ. Hopper, jeweller. &c Chesnut
street, gold hunting watch worth
SI45, $40 gold chain, and a neat
watch for himself at SIS. We quote
the res: of the story from the Phila-
deIphia Bulletin:
He was very particular TO have
his own watch free from all spIendor
or display, so as to become a minis
ter. Instead Of a gold guard, he
selected a simple black silk one, and
would have nothing more costly
than the ordinary silver key TO attach
to it. Requiring that the articles
chosen might be put up and sent to
his apartment at Jones's Hotel,
where he was stopping, he again
left.
While in the store at the visits he
entered freely into conversation, ac-
quainting Mr.. Hopper of the success
of his ministry at the Southwest.
and his patron, wealthy gentleman,
had become hopefully converted un-
der his preaching.
The patron had, he said, muni6-
Gently founded and built for him a
beautiful church, OF which he now
had the pastoral charge. Mr.. Hop
per and his cousin, Mr.. Benjamin
Hopper, an assistant in the store,
both belonging to the Methodist per-
suasion, very naturally became in
terested in his narration.
At the appointed hour Mr.. Benja-
min Hopper carried the goods TO The
hotel. He was shown into room
No. lSe, and. sure enough, there
was his customer. He was seated at
a table, writing, with a copy OF the
Holy Bible on one side, some letters
on the other, and a few manuscripts
before him. He began to converse
on religious topics, and once more
went over the story OF the happy
conversion Of his patron, the spread
of religion in Tennessee, the fre
quent outpourings of the Lords
spirit in his own flock, and concluded
with repeating what he had mention
ed incidentally at the store, that the
MethOdisis had found him out and
had insisted upon his preaching al
ST. Georges where there was o glori-
Gus revival in progress. Adding
that he should need time 10 prepare
himself for the appointment, he han
ded Mr.. Hopper a check Tor $3.50,
the total amount of the bill, on the
Philadelphia Bank.
Suffice it TO say that the check
was forgery, and that the swindler
had put up at Jones's early in the
as Leonard Wilson Of Ten
neSsee. He had no baggage. After
a long search the most valuable
watch was recovered from a pawn
broker, at whose place the villain
pledged it. The rascal goes free.

For the information Of such post
masters as may be interested in the
matter, we publish the following
letter from the Post Office Depart
ment in relation 10 the compensation
Of postmasters, under the late law
reducing the rates of postage:
Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT, !
APPOINTMENT OFFICE, Sept 15.
SIR: Yours of the IIth inst, rela-
tive to the commissions Of postmas-
ters under the late law for the reduc-
ton Of postage, &C., has been re-
ceived.
The Postmaster Generals authori-
zed by the sixth section OF the act
in question TO increase the commits
sions of postmasters under certain
circumstances, viz:
At all post Offices where the labor
of the postmasters shall be increased,
and the commissions fall below the
amount allowed for the fiscal year
ending the Both of June, 1851, The
Postmaster General may in his dis
cretion increase the postmasters'
commissions, but the commissions al
lowed must not, in the aggregate,
exceed by more than twenty per
cent, the commissions of the year
last mentioned, and in no case can
such commission be increased beyond
such amount.
After the quarterly returns aud
accounts ior the first quarter OF the
year commencing on the first July.
1851, shall have been received and
examined, some uniform rule or
general regulation will be adopted
in regard to such commissions, with
the view Of giving proper compen-
sation for the increased labor Gf any)
imposed upon the poStmasteIs by the
operation Of the late law, and the
modified regulations which are ex-
pected to be issued before such law
goes into effect. 1t is believed that
until these accounts and returns are
received, the Postmaster General
will not have sufficient evidence OF
the practical operation Of the new
law and regulations 10 enable him to
prescribe the necessary rules for
determining when and 10 what ex-
tent extra allowances shall be made,
and no final or decisive action can be
had until such evidence is procured.
PnSImaslers will. however, be care.
iu' 10 cast their commissions on the
amounts of postages actually re-
ceired at their respective offices, and
insert them in the account current
as heretofore, and whatever extra
allowance may be made will be en-
tered by the auditor in a separate
credit in The general account.

the softer sex. and give such intre-
pidity and elevation TO their charac-

touching than TO behold a soft and |
tender female who had been all

to every trivial roughness, while

rising in metal force to be

CuBA-RUMoRED OUTBREAK.

The various rumors respecting an outbre ak in
Cuba, referred to by the Picayune of this morn
ing, have their origin in the fact, swel known
here, that a large number of the patriots have
been leaving Havana since tho eta or l',s ulonl'
lutionary movement as soon as it breaks OUT
This movement has been fastened by the orders
which have been issued for the arrest of the lead
ing patriots in Havana, and in other parts of the
island. considerable number of them have re-
tired to the mountains, carrying with them an en-
tire company of Spanish soldiers, which was sta
toned at San Cristobal, at the foot of the Cuzco
Mountains and many deserters from the army
These mountains afford retreats inaccessible to
the Spanish authorities.
As proof of the secrecy with which the ty-
rants of Cuba make their arrests, we may state
the fact that the arrests referred to were made
during the festivities on the occasion of the visit
of several distinguished members of our Congress
to the Captain General, and yet were not known
to those gentlemen before they left Havana.
