Union of the Democracy,

The Democracy of the Third District are
talking great deal about ''union of the
party" just now. The last "North- East
Reporter" has a long article on the subject.
The next column contains also long article,
in which he denounces the Benton editors
of The State as "wolly-headed abolitionists, !"
"abolition imps Of dark and deep designs"
and applies other such epithets, which are
likely to bring about re-union-over the
left!
We firmly incline 10 The belief that nei-
ther party wants union--it is war of
determination, and will De continued as such,
and all talk about union, coupled with
abuse, is only designed TO pick up a"weak
BROTHER" and vote him against his old
friends. This is The game of the factions,
in which we trust they will keep about
even!

Eebraska-Great Excitement.

Washington is in a ferment, on the Ne
bra.ka question. Douglas opened tho dis.

in which he gave Chase, Sumner, and the
Aboliticnists, some severe rounds. The

Thirty-Third Congress-First Session
WAsuIvGToN, Jan. 80, 1856

WAsnINGToN, Jan. 80, 1854.
SENATE.-The chamber was crowded to-
day to hear Mr.. Douglas on the Nebraska
bill. He commenced by explaining the two
objects that had been sought by the commit
tee in preparing the Nebraska bill. lst-
AS to the Indians, to protect their rights
2d-As to slavery. 1t was the object and
desire of the committee to be equally ex-
plicit. They had taken the principles Of
the compromise acts Of 1850 as their guide,
and had made each and every provision Of
this bill accord with those principles-leav-
ing to the people of the territories the priv
ilege of governing themselves, free of all
control, except by the Constitution Of the
United Statcc, and limited and restricted up
on no particular subject by their position
North and South of any arbitrary gcograph-
ical line. The committee considered thu,
the Missouri Compromise had been super
ceded by the compromise of 1850. He al.
luded 10 the address published by the Sena
tors from Ohio and Massachusetts TO tht
people, charging this bill with want Of
faith in the solemn compocts, and charging
him personally with concerning an atrociou'
plot, and applying to him epithets which
could not be used between gentlemen. H,
charged that this address had been signet
by majority Of the members from Ohio il
order to influence the Legislature of tina
State, before which resolutions were pend
ing on the subject. The address had no
all of those signatures, and he believed tina
the statement that it ever had been SO signed
was q wilful falsehood.
Mr.. Chase rose 10 make an explanation
but Mr.. Douglass refused to yield the floor
saying that a gentleman who had SO violate,
every rule of propriety and fairness was no
entitled to any consideration at his hands
and proceeded at great length tc argue il
favor of the bill.

On motion OF A. Leonard, DR.. JOIN A..
TALBOT was called TO the Chair, and C. H.

Rev. P. M. Pinckard, being requested,
explained the object of the meeting, giving
history of the origin and progress of the

the College at Fayette, and concluded with
an appeal to the liberality Of the citizens Of
Howard, to build up, not only the College,
bat also to erect suitable buildings for How
ard High School.
Mr.. A. ]. Herndon being called upon,
proceeded TO address the meeting in behalf
of the proposed College, adducing facts,
presenting the subject in strong light, and
demons rating clearly not only the necessity
but our ability to erect the buildings, and
not feel it.
Mr.. Leonard, being called upon, respond.
ed in brief speech, closing by calling for
subscriptions.
The result of the meeting was $2lOO SUBJ

Postmssters-r Their Duties and Compen.
sation.


There is certainly very great injustice
done to the Postmaster at this place;--;here
is imposed upon him three or four times the
amount of labor that there is upon any 9TH
er Office on the route from St. Louis to this
place, where the amount of commissions are
equally as much and in some instances more
than the post master receives here.
For instance, the Western letter mail is
put up at St. Louis in two leather bags, one
for The intermediate offices between that
city and this place, constituting not more
than one-six,h Of the letter mail; the remain
der is directed to this office for distribution,
in addition to the way-mail, it consisting of
all the mail for the West and Northwestern
parts of The State. And so with the mail
arriving from the west: it becomes the duty
Of the post master here TO distribute and
separate all the mail matter which goes east
ward from the way mail. Also the north
ern and southern mails require like ntten-
tion--all connecting at this point and ar
irving about the same time-!hereby i'm
posing upon the post master at this place a
heavy burden, a part of which should be
performed at o:her points on the route.
The result of the present arrangement is
that very large and heavy mail accumu-
latcs from the west before it arrives here
a sufficient amount to require any Office be-
tween this and Liberty at least half an hour
10 examine it correctly, but those Offices in
stead of doing SO, (having but u minutes
allowed them 10 handle the mail,) run
through it in ! hurried hop, skip anu jump
condition, throwing out what few they may
chance to light upon, leaving a large por-
ton Of the mail that belongs to those Offices,
and for routes divergins from them, in the
mail bags. The mail arrives OF this office
in that condition, when upon examination
large portion Of the mail is returned for
another Gilrin race. and not unirequenty
the same letter package is recognised re
turning two or three times, and sometimes so
much worn as 10 require new envelope.
To remedy the evil, and facilitate the
transportation Of tie mail, there should be
a through mail to St. Louis put upat Liber-
! ty, as we'll as an additional one from St.
Louis for Liberty and westward; then the
intermediate Offices would only have small
woy-mail TO handle, and could do it cor
rectly and in the time allowed by lay, and
which would more justly distribute the labor
on thercutc ard relieve this Office of very
heavy burden.
Since The reduction of postage the COM
pensation to the post master ut this Office
has been reduced from six hundred to about
four hundred dollars, for which he is re-
quired to furnish, at his own expense, an
office, fuel, lights, and all his stationery
with constant services during the day, and
At unusual hours during the night.
Unless some provision is made for ade.
quate compensation for services rendered
the department vii! find il impossible to gel
competent men to accept the office.
