To POstmastcrs,

"We sometimes receive note from the
postmaster, informing us that a subscri-
Der has removed, and telling us to discon-
tinue the paper, as it is not taken out Of
the office. Perhaps, at the same time the
subscriber aforesaid may be owing bal
ance on his subscription. The law au-
thorizes publishers to continue a paper
until all Grreardges are paid, whether the
paper is taken from the Office or not. 1t
is the duty of the subscriber-( and if an
honest man he will discharge it)-when
he moves his place of residence to inform
the publisher where he wishes his paper

Liberty of tho Press.

1--we would be sure Of the truth Of our opinions,
we eshOuld make them public. 1t is by the touchstOne
Oi discussion that they must be proved The press,
therefore, should be free The magistrate who pre-.
VENT it opposes all improvement in morality and pol.
itics; he sins agains his country he chokes the very
seeds Of those happy ideas which the liberty Of the
press would produce And who can estimate that
loss, Wherever this liberty is withheld, ignorance
like profound darkness, spreads over the minds Of
men 1t is then that the lovers Of truth at the SAINT
time that they seek it, fear to find it, they are sens
bic that they must either conceal bascly disguise it
or expose themselves to persecution, which every man
breads.
There are no specious prcte1ts with which hypoc
ray and tyranny have not colored their desire Of i'm
posing silence on men Of disceumcnt; and there il
no vlTtuou' citizen that see in these pretexts any
Legitimate reason for remaining silent.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Feb

SENATE.-Alter two private bills had
been passed, the Senate took up the Me-
brasca bill.
Mr.. Seward addressed the Senate in
opposition to the bill. lie made a long
and most able speech in answer TO Mr..
Badger. He said the honorable and very
acute Senator from North Caronina, Mr..
Badger, has moved us most persuasively
to waive our objections 10 the new prlnoi-
pie, as it is called, of non.interven,ion, by
assuring US that the STAKEHOLDER can only
use slave labor where the soil and climate
favor the culture Of tobacco, cotton. rice
and sugar; to which reply, none OF Them
find these congenial soils or climates al
the sources Of the Mississippi or in the
valley of the Rocky Mountains. Why
then, does he want to remove the inhabi-
tation there? But again; That Senator
re-produces pleasing fiction Of the char
acter Of slavery from The Jewish history,
and asks. why, not allow the modern Pa
triarchs to go into new regions with their
slaves, as their ancient prototypes did, to
make them more comfortable and h'ppy!
And he tells US, at the same time. that
this diffusion will not increase the nun.
Der OF slaves. reply by asking. first,
whether slavery has gained or lost
strength by the diffusion OF it over a lar

fully submit that they ought to reassume
the modesty Of their jewish predecessors,
and relinquish this political feature Of the
system they thus seek 10 extend. Will
they do that! He closed at half pas, three.
AT that part of his speech where he
said the Inconsistencies and selfcontra.
dictions contained in the papers Of the
Committee on Territories had destroyed
all claims 10 respect for them, there was
great applause in the galleries.
Mr.. Petit got the floor, and said he
would speak on Monday.
Mr.. Sumner said he also desired to
speak on the bill, and would do so on
Tuesday. ..'..
The bill was postponed, and the Senate
adjourned till Monday.

miltee on the Homestead bill, when Mr..
Stephens, of Georgia, made speech in
favor OF the Nebraska bill.

. The latest accounts from Persia say that
The English influence preponderates.
The very latest news from Vienna says
that Count Boul has drawn up deelApE-
tion of neutrality, with a strong leaning
towards the views of the Western Pow
ers, and has given this to Count OrlOG 40
final answer. Orloff's mission has,
therefore, failed. The Cars proposals
were, to form a defensive league with all
the German Powers, and If the Western
Powers attacked any one thereof, Russia
would make common cause with them;
and would not conclude any peace without
consulting their interests. The German
Powers, through Austria, have definitely
refused, and Russia is, therefore, insulated. .
The Western Powers are Immediately to

ties, and will compel it forthwith. %

The Gold EIslds Of the World.

Gold abounds, to a greater or less ex-
tent, in almost every country. II has
been found in small quantities in Spain,
Portugal, Sweden, the German States,
Turkey and even in England The pro-
duce Of the Russian gold mines is from
fifteen to twenty millions of dollars annu-
ally. Besides Australia, gold is found in
China, Malaccs, Japan, Borneo. New
Guinea and New Zealand. II has also
been discovered in considerable quantities
in and about the Chaudiere river, in Low
or Canada. The eastern gold region of
the United States is considered as begin
ming in Virginia, extending through North
Carolina along the northern part of South
Carolina, and thence northwesterly into
Alabama, terminatingin Tennessee. The
diggings are supposed to be pretty well
worked out, although productive at times
In l843. 100000 was dug from the
gold mines of Virginia. The west coast
of America, both north and south of the
equator, is perhaps the region having the
greatest number of gold deposits. The
precious metal is found in considerable
quantities in all the South American
States. Gold is procured also from vari-
Gus parts of Africa, to the amount proba.
bly, of S2, 500, 900 yearly. tits estimated
that the total yield Of gold during the
year 1853 was $3.50, 900; and it is
supposed that the whole stock of gold
and silver bullion now in circulation is
twenty five hundred millions of dollars
