yeyed wholly or in part by sea and to or

over $500 miles ten cents. A single
letter if not exceeding half an ounce;

lished, free; for any distance not excee-
ding fifty miles out Of the county where

ALIENS CHARGE AGAINST Mr.. WEB
sTra.-In the House Of Representatives,
on the LIST, Mr.. Julian, Abolilionis0 of
Indiana. offered preamble and resolu-
ton, rcciting the charge made by Mr.
Allen, of Massachusetts, that Mr.. Web
s,er had received from Eastern capitalists
sum of money. between forty and
fifty thousand dollars, as an inducement
10 take the Office Of Secretary of State,
and providing for the appointment Of a
committee to investigate the charge. A
motion was made TO suspend the rules.
but il was decided in the negative by the
following vote: Yeas 35, combining all
the Abolitionists in the House, and in
Guiding Mr.. Phelps, Mo.-and nays
l9. Mr.. Shenck changed his vote from
the affirmative to the negative. He
said he had thought the resolution ought
to pass; that it was due to Mr.. Webster
it should, and he was advised that Mr..
Webster moi only did no. shrink from,
but preferred investigation, if the House
thought the charges deserving such no.
tice. But The very decided vote against
suspending the rules was, perhaps, as
much proof as need be asked of the
general contempt Of the House for the
Increment.
