~ In accordance with previous notice,
all persons in arrears for more than one years
subscription to the "Post," on the LIST day of
January, 1856, will be charged at the rate of
$500 per year. The terms of the paper are
published where all may see them every
week, and we don't intend to depart from
them in single instance hereafter. Persons
who wish the paper can have it at $500 q
year in advance, or $500 payable at the ex-
piration OF the year, when ace knOU them 10 be
good These are the terms, and we trust no
one will ask us to violate them. Although
we believe we have collected closer than any
other paper in the State, and haveas few non.
paying subscribers, we find on our books dues
for subscriptions amounting in the aggregate
to two thousand dollars. Most of these
debts are owing by persons who are abun-
dainty able to pay, yet who never will pay
unless it is "dogged" out of them, a business
for which we have no appetite. We are de-
termined to put stop to that sort of waste,
and we shall strike the names of all such
from our book after this week. If they pay
us, wcll--if not, we will try to work along
without their Support" Another remark
we wish to make here: on our list there are
some fifty names which have come in rs
"cIub subscribers don't care about any
'more of that sort--no profit on them. When
wheat is worth dollar and half, the man
who cannot afford TO pay two dollars a year
for his paper ought to emigrate; and we
know the ''Post" is worth that amount,
though there are good many papers publish
ed nowadays from the reading of which no
one derives either pleasure or profit, and are
really worth nothing. Remember-two dol
lars in advance, or three at the expiration Of
the year. The "Dcad. Heads" will all 90 by

The Senate was in session yesterday but
there were only eighteen members in atten-
dance, and it is probable that that House
will DO without quorum today. The House
was without quorum, there being only for
ty.seven members present, and of course no
business will be transacted until after the LIST
of January, as the absentees. and those who
will yet leave, will not return before that
time

"Her Majesty wore dadcm of pearls one

Majesty some time ago offered n premium.
The dress was magnificent, and was enor-

ain the democratic ranks, the Buchanan
stock is now decidedly above par. The
Pierce, Cass, Douglass, Marcy, Bright, and
Houston stocks are regarded rs mere fancy
concerns. The shrewd politicians, whose
mouths water for places in the Cabinet and
for Foreign Missions, look to Buchanan as
the source OF patronage after 1856. Senator

ut is an interesting fact that from the
first organization of the government down to
1889, Congress never failed to elect Speak
er and organize on the first day of the ses-
sion. The Reorganization for three weeks
in 1889 was the result not of contest for
the Speakership, but as to who should vote.
The difficulty ended byacompromse on Hon.
r. NJ. It. Hunter-conmonly styled by Faith
err Richie, Run Mad Tom Hunter-of Vir-
ginia. Again, in ls49, contest for Speak
ership delayed an organization, which was
afterwards settled by Il compromise on Hon.
Howell Cobb, of Georgia. Now, for the
third time in the history of our government,
do we find Congress disorganized, while a
strife between contending factions for the
Speakershp arrests all business.

PosTPoNEMENT OF A NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The President of the Virginia State Coun-
ellis of the "American Party of Virginia" has
published an explanatory statement as to the
proposed National Convention to be held in
Philadelphia on the 22d of February next
He says there is no power 10 postpone the
Convention save by the vote of the delegates
composingit. Delaware and Missouri go for
postponoment, and it is thought that the
meeting of the Eastern and Western Coun-
ellis of Virginia, to meet at Richmond on the
18th of January, will also insist upon post.
ponement. North Carolina some time since
expressed desire for postponement, and Mr.
Moors says, as far as he is informed, there is
no State Council which does not desire n
postponement until June or July.

l.. Kossuth in late letter, alludcs to the
United States and says-"Of one thing, new
ertheless, feel certain, and that is, that un-
less European revolution turns the current,
one great fight you must have with Euro
pean kings. You can't escape that manifest
destiny, provided, Il deliberately repcaD the
Democracy of Europe does not open a safety
valve to the gathering steam-power."
We incline to the belief that Monsieur
Kossuth is mistaken, or that the prediction is
begotten of hope. But if that "manifest
destiny" is really before us, we "guess"
whenever the european kings" show a real
disposition to have the affair come off, the
occasion will find Brother Jonathan prepared
and ready to ego in and win"

~ The Know Nothing members of the
Virginia Legislature held meeting on Satur-
day, and adopted resolutions endorsing the
course of the national members of tina. party
in the House of Representatives Of the United
States, in the stand they have taken in voting
for Speaker, and declaring that any modif-
cation Of the 18th section of the National
Platform would be gross fraud upon South
ern men who have Joined the Know Nothing
party. The declaration Of the democratic
Congressional caucus that they would consent
to no union with the know nothing party is
declared to be arrogant, and tending to pro-
long the slavery agitation, if not to throw
power into the hands of the "black repubi-
cans" The following resolution was also
adopted:
"Resolued, That We regard with Indignation
the attempt of powerful party ut the North
to seduce Southern men from their sectional
fidelity by the bribery of official honors, and
that those Southern men who, in the present
crisis, discourage the union of the South upon
the basis Of adjustment laid down in the 18th
section of the National Platform, or who shall
accept office at the hands of our sectional
enemies, shall be visited with our unqualified
detestation, and can no longer be regarded as
National Americans or as worthy the social or
political confidence of Southern men,"

.Y Land warrants are in better demand
at New York, though Thompson's Reporter
of that city says:
"Land warrants have settled down to Il
point where they will, we think, stick for a
week or two, but in mid-winter lower prices
will rule. We quote:
Buying. Selling.
l60s. Sl,0O per acre. $l03 per acre.
Sos. LOO per acre. LOS per acre.
l2Os. 95 per acre. SO pr acre.
4Os. Ito per acre. LIS per acre"
The Reporter expresses the opinion that
warrants will yet fall some 10 to Is cents
more per acre, and it does not believe they
will rise to over 81 per acre for eighteen
months to cone. 1t hears that during the
winter large amounts will accumulate in the
hands of speculatprs, who will compete with
each other in selling next summer and fall
The new issue will continue yet for two years
ut the rate of 300 to 500 warrants per day.
In lS4S and 1850, with less issue than at
present, warrants were slow Of sale at 65
cents per acre.

Missouri,

4 Allowing that the vote of the latter can
be controlled by the black republicans, they
are still short of the power to elect their
President-and that power is lodged with the
national American representatives from Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Maryland and Missouri
four slave States. So the power to make
Speaker and the possible power to make
President next year, is in the hands of the
conservatives of the American party, that
little nucleus surrounding Mr.. Fuller, and
who as steadily adhere to him as that immor
tai band of seventy-four, acting subs antial-
ly from the same motives, have continued to
cast their votes for Col. Richardson.

MORE PRESIDENTIAL sPECULATIoNs.

MORE PRESIDENTIAL SPECULATloNS.
The n Y Herald, which is sometimes right,
and often wrong, in its speeulations, gives US
the following in its issue of the 18th:
It has come to this-that in Congress there
is substantially but two parties-the black re-
publieans on the one side, united with the
antitwelfth section Know Nothings, ready
and anxious to form great Northern a6oll-
ton party, and the democracy, standing firm
ly upon the Kansas law and upon the Prlnei'
pies of popular sovereignty, on the other SIDE.
Between the two are the national Know
Nothings, giving their votes steadily Tor fnl-
ler some of them perhaps somewhat hostile
to the Kansas legislation, but all OF them u
is believed, regarding that act as altogether
of secondary Importance, and ready and de-
termined to maintain the integrity OF our
national compact on all occasions. The gull
between these men and the black republicans
is as wide and as deep as that between the
black republicans and the Old Guard Of the
democracy. They can hope for no existence
as party by falling into the Seward ranks
They are chiefly from the South, and though
not formidable for their numbers, they hold
the balance of power not only in the organi-
cation of the House, but in the election of
President in case of failure to do so by the
Electoral Colleges. This latter fact imposes
upon them high responsibilities; for there is
certainly a prospect more or less remote,
that upon the present House the duty of Sc
Letting an executive to succeed Mr. Pierce
may devolve.
Counting the members who sustained Banks
on the highest vote as sure to support the
black republican candidate for the Presiden-
cy, that party will have thirteen States, viz:
Indiana, New York,
Maine, Ohio,
Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Rhode Island,
New Hampshire, Vermont,
New Jersey, Wisconsin.
Connecticut
The democracy, judged by the same rule
by those voting for Riehardson--will have
twelve States, wiz
Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Mississippi,
California, North Carolina,
Florida, South Carolina,
Georgia, Texas,
Illinois, Virginia.
Iowa is equally divided, and radically, upon
democratic and black republican lines
