SIR: The undersigned citizens Of Steuben County,
in the State of Indiana having learned by way Of THE
" Y TRIBUNE OF the l2th of January inst. that you
about to desert the firm friends Of Freedom in
their efforts to elect Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes, take this method to apprse you aud the
country of their deep modification and disappOint-
ment, that any influence should have been brought to
bear upon your conduct adverse TO the great Princi
PIES which have twice elected you to represent the
Tenth Congressional District of Indiana A. a part
OF your constituency, We have hitherto cheerfuly
given YOU suffrages under the impression that
had standard-bearer for district of lnfexlbe
character and reliable integrity. Have we been mis-
taken To your present seems ineXplcable.
You were elected to resist the encrOaehments of
Slavery upon the rights Of Freedom j. that purpose
best subserved by deserving those brave men whose
steady support of Mr.. Banks commands the applause
and admiration of the whole country In our opinion
the reverse will be its effect. 1t Is ntnated that
may look for explanation of your late course to the
power of Southern gold to the still more corrppting
influence of Executive patronage; but we will not in
dulge tie idea. Nor it re reasonably be supposed
that Slavery prOpagandism in its phase of BOr-
der Ruiansm could have cooled your ar1or in favor
of Freedom when its tendency has been to heat up
your constituency to the boiling point. But, whatever
may be your motives foyour present course Of action
we do most sOemnly protest against your compromlt
ing your constituency to anything but the most infen-
be and determined opposition to Slavery and Slavery
Extension.

TIE STATEN ISLAND Ferry COMPANY.

To ne Editor Of TIE " Y Tribrse
SIR: The Staten Island Ferry Compa ~ iSs' year
issued coumutaiion tickets usual at $50 pc annumi
$50 for the St six months and $40 for the ~u'n
When they issued the frst tickets in May last the ""
muiers were given to understand that the CompA "
would ruR two boats during the year. In November '
last when the ten-dollar tickets TO be ssued.
we were again informed that the price Of tickets
would be twenty dollars instead Of ten, as the Com
pany could rot afford TO run two boats unless this
additional sam were paid them. To this unjust de-
msnd, as may be imagined, there was considerable
demur upon the part Ofthe two hundred and City
commuters, who nevertheless concluded TO comply
with the demands of the Company To our astonish-
ment, the 18th Of this month, after the money had
been collected by the Company we were informed
that and after that date but boat would be run
during the continuation Of the extreme cold weather.
This one boat is run at such hours that TO person
whose basiness requires his presence in the city SIX
andabah hours day, the ferry is entirely useless
it only makes three trips daily. Many persons sup
pose that this lie done in order drive the commuters
TO patronze the Clifton and Stapleton Ferry which IL
also owned by the Monopoly. and where
obliged to again pay the usual fare for passage.
