Nffa. PROOFS. LETTER no THE
SEN a TIE,

During the sitting of die United Strtes Senate
on Monday, the Presidibg officer presented the
following letter from the Hon. P. S Brooks. of
die House Of Representatives., which was read
and ordered tobe printed:
HousE or REPREsESTA T1vEs, May as, 1856.
SIR: / have seen In the public journals OF this
morning the report Of the committee of the Sem
ate To whom was referred a resolution otthe Sem
ate directing an inquiry into an assault made by
me on the 22d instant on Senator from MsSa-
Its with unfeigned regret find in thereport
that what had intended only as redress of a
personal wrong had been construed into or must
necessarily be held as breach Of privilege OF
the Senate.
Whilst making full and explicit disclaimer
Of sny such design or purpose, Task leayetos say
that, for the occasion, considering myself only
as a gentleman in society, and under no official
restraint as q member OF the House OF hepre-
sentatives, did not advert to or consider there
was any alternative restraint imposed upon me
by reason that the offence came from member
Of the Senate.
/ had read attentively and carefully thespeech
delivered in the Senate on the 18th and goth IN
slant BY the Senator from Massachusetts,, and
found therein language which regarded as I'M
justly rejecting, not only upon the history and
character of South Carolina, but also upon
tf1en1 ana rel3IlNe.- 10 SuCu IhhSuA5S I4%4A q
right to take exception under the circumstances,
the Senator from South Carolina, who was af-
fectcri By these remarks, being absent from the
Senate and the city.
I had reason to believe that the Senator from
Massachusetts, did not acknowledge that person.
al responsibility for wrongs in personal deport-
ment which would, have saved me the painful
necessity of the collision which / sought, and in
my judgment, therefore, had no alternative but
to act as did.
That the assault was made in the Senate
chamber was caused only by the fact that, after
a careful search elsewhere ON the previous as well
as on the same day, the offender could not be
found outside the walls of the Senate chamber,
and the Senate had adjourned TO. more than an
hour previous to the assault.
submit the foregoing statement from the high
respect have for the Senate of the U. States,
and ask that it may be received as afull disclaim-
er of any design or purpose to infractng its privi
legcs or offend its dignity cheerfully add, that
should the facts, as reported by the committee
ofthe Senate, be nevertheless necessarily consid-
cred as conclusion of law, my earnest desire is
to atone for it, as far as may be, by this unhesi.
tating and unqualified apology.
| Asking that you will oblige me by commune
eating this to the Senate as its presiding officer,
have honor to remain, sir, with great respect,
| yonr obcdient servant. P. S. BROOKS.

The postmaster at EllicottSville, in Now York,
finding that newspapers were being mailed from
his Office with circular and copy of Mr.. Sow
ards Kansas speech, in pamphlet form, enclosed
in them, applied to the Postmaster General to
cases. A letter from the department in response
says that the publishers could not be allowed
their plea, that the pamphlet was issued asa sup
plemcnt to the paper, rs it bore the imprint of
Washington upon its frSe; and the enclosing of
it lin newspaper was illegal and subjected the
entire package to letter postage. The presump-
ton is that the system has boen extensively re-
rorted to of late and this edict will doubtless
check the abuse, as postmasters are directed to
charge the full letter rates for such packages;
and, falling the payment of the charge, to pros
ecutc for the recoveryo the legal penalty oftiyc
dollars for each offence.

VIC ind IN the Cincinnati lines the loi-
loving account of the origin of caucus&cs:
''Borrowed from the House OF Commons,
where it had been practiced over century, the
system Of caucnsSing was first introduced into
this country by the members of Congress, III or
der to enable them the more etfectually to drill
the party they represented to an organization
that should be eifectual in preserving the power
of the party, and consequently be the means of
retaining themselves in Office. AS far back as
those days anterior to the Revolution, both
Wings and Tories, held their caucusSeS, but not
with the perfect system of regularity that now
governs their movements. The Green Tavern,
In Boston, has historic fame az place of meet
ing for caucusscs, and such men as tho Ham
cocks, WaFrenS, &c, were in those days the
leaders of the popular cause. In connection
with their names, We would here remark that,
of course, the system was then formed for purer
purposes and governed by purer motives. An
entire absence Of personal profit was apparent
in all their movements, and their sole object ap-
peared to be the general welfare of the country.
WHEN rue CLOVER FOOT BEcAWE MANIFEST
From the time referred to above until alter.
the Revolution, the term Caucus or Convention
was scarcely heard. The object Of such asso-
Citations had become perverted, and no one
thought of calling by the name Of Convention
q collection of politicians drunk with the sloiIs
Of cfice, and operating by the authority OF m.
other collection of the same character, Interested
from a Ike motive In their success. Those
meetings were held more secretly, and for the
sole purpose of forming such plans as would en-.
able them to retain their places of profit, but
they represented in no manner either the inter-
est, the win or the voice Of the people. In
these meetings they concoctcd plans by which
they vi shel TO operate on those In the principal
Offices, and falling they eudcavored to render
the people dissatisfied with their administration.
q Even the uninpeachable Washington found
10 these organizations the clements that render
ell his last term rather a stormy one, and we
have every reason to believe that he well fore
aaV the great evil that threatened this country,
during his last term, with such factions and the
most Important measures were only carried By
baremajorities.

This is the commencement OF the twcnty.scv-

important subjects for consideration. In the
Senate the bill providing the preliminary mea-
surcs for the admission ofKansas as State, the
Naval Reform bill, and the Presidential Vetoes
are Prominent. Upon the disposition of the
latter depends the fate of various river and har
Dor bills now on the calendar. In the House,
among the unfinished business may be named
the bill for the admission of Kansas, three con-
tested election cascs, several of the annual APP
preparation bills, and heavy private calendar,
embracing the cases reported from the Court of
Claims. There is no reasonable expectation Of
the session being closed before the middle of Au-

day, and the meeting of each to-day will only
be for the purpose Of journment to Thursday.
