CorrespondeIee Of The N 7. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 1856.
Mr.. Fessenden closed the debate in the Senate
to-day in a speech o. great power. He was beset
during its delivery by numerous Interruptions, ques-
tons and replies from Senator'S Rusk, Butler,
Cas-, Brown and Bayard, Of the Administration
side Of the Senate; but he was cool self-Posed
and uDdistuIbed and his whole speech was
triumph In clear, distinct and emphatic Ian
guace he replied TO the lofty annunciatiOns OF Mr..
Rusk Of Texas, as 10 what the South would or
would not bear, that the Republican party, in the
future as in the past, entirely irrespective OF
threats and buster at the South, intended to resist
firmly and iDfeAbly the extension OF Slavery into
Free Territories 10 the ene-even the bitter end, II
bitter end there should be. But so far from wish
ing 10 prescribe citizens of the South from Official
position as had been insiDuated, he would himself
have been willing to vote for STAKEHOLDER tor the
Presidency if one Of character and worth had been
presented, who heartily conceded with the Repub-
leans in opposing the extension of Slavery beyond
It's present limits. Why, said he, Senator But
Ter himself once seemed as If be was coming up
toward our standard when be said he did not de-
sire the extension of the institution. The South

The prospect of reform in the charter and ordi-
nances of this city has alarmed the present dynasty,
and the most unexampled efforts will be made to
defeat the wishes of the people 1t is credlbly a.
legged that large sums have already been subscribed
toward fund OF Sl00, 0OO and emssaries are run.
ming dow country Members to set them all right
before the meeting Of the Legislature. Monster
petitions, signed by thousands Of imaginary indi-
yiduals will be ready, and the Legislature will
doubtless find the names of many respectable clti.
zens indorsng the honesty of the Mayor and his
friends in the Departments-that is, If such names
can be got by frightening their owners into the
belief that the movement for reform is a gunpowder
plot to blow up the city.
The corruptonists have little hope Of the Assem-
bly,, but confidently rely upon influencing as many
of the Senators as may be necessary to stop the bill
which will come from the House. If anybody
thinks, from the Mayors apparent naction, that he
will let the proposed reform go on without ress-
lance, they know very little Of the man. His am-
bilious eye 10 fixed upon the highest position in the
ration and to get there he must keep perfect con-
troll of the Democratic party in this city. The
introduction of an honest government here would
operate on Tammany Hall Ike starvation siege.
Stop the supplies from the treasury, and the party
would not hold together month. :" The cohesive
"power of public plumber is the only bond OF
union in which they have faith; and though they
may for fifty -One weeks in the year indulge in the
pleasant recreation of furious quarres let the vast
spoils Of the city government once come in question,
and they settle into the harness with will.
Registry law, which all honest men heartily desire,
is one Of the things most dreaded by the robbers.
They cannot hope to succeed under honest voting;
and if really good law is once put in operation
their days are numbered, since it could not be
repealed except BY the Illegal votes which it will
cut of.
If My country members should be applied to BY
the disntereeted advisers who or will be abroad,
let them beware Of wolves in Sleeps clothing.
The unanimous cry of the honest people of this city
is for relief. We are robbed Of millions annually
by the most unbushDg frauds; our public Offices
are filled by scoundres who ouet. = be ia State
Prison; our elections p carried by DULLES and ruff
fsns, who crowd in thousands of illegal votes while
they keep out the rightful ballots; our parties,
caucuses, committees public and even private
meetings are under the surveillance of these corrupt
men, and so far as our own efforts can 90 We are
comparatively powerless. Should the question of
morrow, it would be voted down at once, even
though twice the number Of votes cast at the last
election should be necessary. We appeal to the
virtue and honesty Of the State at large to relieve
US Of this alarming state Of things.

telegraphic dispatch announces that the PresI-
dent has decided to purchase the site known as the
Brick Church property for the Post-Ofice in our
city, provided good title can be given. WEI are
not aware that any doubt exists on that point, so
that we suppose the question is virtually settled
We have said less than we otherwise might have
done with regard to this POstOfice controversy
while the decision was pending, partly because we
presumed the President unlikely to be influenced
By our views and wishes in the premises,
and partly because the proximity Of our own
establishment to the Brick Church created
a material interest in our case in favor OF
that location. Now that it is over, we may say
without improperly that it will seem incredible
ten years hence that any question of the superiority
of the Brick CHURCH site ever existed. The pres
ent Post. Office IL nearer 10 Wall street. and per-
baps majority Of our wholesale merchants, but
We doubt its being more convenient even to
them. because the streets which bound it on
three sides are narrow, and the place is
one which they would seldom be called TO visit ex-
cept for their letters. Few omnibuses and no cars
pass it; and ts facilities of approach BY carts or
caIrisges are very inferior. As TO the Hudson
square site, it s away from all business and nearly
all the great city thOroughfares, and our Post
Office might as well be put at Hoboken at once.

The fatal objection that one half our business men
never pass it, while the other half do not wish to

voted by one majority. On the call, 2l8 members

taken On the motion to lay on the table the motion
of Mr.. Grow, reconsdering the vote denying the
seat to Mr.. Whitfield. 1t was decided not to lay

attempt was then made to vote Mr.. Whitfield

pOned to Tuesday next. The members then drew
for seats, and the House adjourned to Monday.

The objection that the lot is not large enough is
ridiculous. The basement Of the Post Once to be
erected there may contain as many az twenty-five
thousand square feet, if proper advantage Is taken
of the extraordinary capacities of the site for vau
ing, which would give twenty -fve square feet each
TO thousand men. When are we likely 10 have
more than q thousand persons employed in our
Post. OfHcel After that, we msy have four or five
stories of working room in the new Post'Omce,
each Of them presenting an area of fifteen thousand
square feet We do not believe the person IL now
living who will see the area of the Brick Church
too small for the Post. Office Of New-fork should
it ever become so, additions can easily be made OF
adjacent property, and connected with this either
over or under Nassau street, if such connection DO
deemed material. But this site is amply large
enough for sny use that will be required OF it, at
least during the present century, while ito COM
plete isolation from all other buildings, all private
property, and its rare facilities of access render it
by far the best property that has been offered. The
President has done the city service BY bis selec-
tiop, though it ha, seemed to us incredible that he
should make any other.
