At meeting of the Executive Committee of the

distracted the American party in other States, the

And further, we regard the repeal of the Missouri

It's Legitimate Fruits

A lady in Georgia states, in a COM
munication to the New York Tribune.
that large number Of her letters to
Kansas and other points have been
opened, on account Of suspicion that
she is tainted with Abolition senti-
ments. and that all her movements are
subjected to most annoying system
Of espionage. Like a woman OF true
spirit, however, she insists upon her
right to hold what sentiments she
pleases. and express them. either
verbally or on paper, at her own
conveniece. She relates other similar
circumstances in the same vicinity,
illustrating how the peculiar in
stitution" makes those who claim to
be gentlemen forget even ordinary
politeness and that respect to the ie-
male sex Of which Anglo Saxons are
so fond of Boosting the world over.
Such occurrences are but the legitimate
and inevitable result Of the Slave
system.
The N. Y. Courier and Enquire
speaks of these occurrences as foil
ows:
The violation Of official duty in
Postmasters is not an uncommon
thing. It has been practiced even up
on Southern people themselves when
writing TO Northern friends. Letters
at the South addressed to John @.
Fremont, within the last four months.
have been repeatedly intercepted and
broken open. One Postmaster In
Virginia even went so far as to refuse
point blank to mail a letter addressed
by Virginia lady to Mrs. Fremont,
who was her relative-the Postmaster
declaring that'no letter with that adj
dress upon it should be mailed at his
Office. And he kept his word. That
sprlg Of chivalry deserves particular
promotion. Will Franklin Pierce see
to it?
