The Union copies a letter written by Sena-
tor Hale, and which appeared in the New
Hampshire papers on the eve of the late elec-
ton for State officers, and was subsequently,
copied into the New York Ersning Post as the
text for an editorial homily on post Office
abuses. 1t charges generally that the Admin
istration and its subordinates, in order to com
pass the destruction of the Republican party,
have adopted the terrible system Of warfare of
suppressing the documents with which Hon.
John p. Hale, and "Mr. Tappan of the House
Of Representatives" may be pleased to henor
their constituents. In support of this charge
Mr.. Hale gives the names of six gentlemen, re-
siding Mt different places, to whom it is claimed
packages of speeches we're mailed, but not de-
livered from the post offices.
The Union states in reply that each of these
cases has been investigated by competent au-
thority, and it clearly appears, in five Of the
six instances mentioned, that the gentlemen re-
fsrred to not only did receive the packages ad-
dressed to them, but notified Mr. Hale in near
ly every case, of the fact.
The Mtsiligsncer publishes to-day, without
editorial comment, the minority report of the
select committee upon the Kansas question.

pointed out to him one single position which the
friends of the bill have abandoned, or one argu-
ment OF theirs which the opposition have sue
cessfuly answered. He then went on TO show
that in all the speeches made against the bill
there was nothing to justify any such assertion.
The opponents Of the bin have dealt in gene

III O'Clock. He reviewed the whole question OF

and the Kansas Nebraska act. He opposed the

The REAL IssUE.-It can hardly be posi-

bers OF the House, upon whose assistance the
AboIitionists (of all pretensions so far as their
nominal party affiliations are concerned) count
go confidently in the intended work of MAKING
Kansas an abolition State by the rejection of
the Lecompton constitution, realize that their
constituents will be able to comprehend the
nature OF the overshadowing issue involved in
the present struggle in Congress, as that is free
ly admitted to be, in private conversation, by all
others Of Congress Of all parties.
To be brief that is-rE" Shall another slave.
holding State ever be admitted into the Con-
federacy! Or shall the fact of the legaliza-
ton of slavery in the constitution of an apply-

sufficient reason for rejecting her,
We can hardly conceive that the bitterness
and blind madness Of party can induce any
gentlemen of the House sent there by csn.
stitucncies identified with the institution of
African slavery, to take the Abolition side of
THIS issue. To do so will be so plainly to lend
themselves to the destruction Of the co equality
OF the South in the Union, as that their nam,

themselves objects Of universal and we'll de-

slant, Mr.. Gilmer doing the work of the Adolf
ton party in the present crisis as they are 50
generally expecting him to rrorm it, by bis
vote on all but the final question, and thus bring.
ing about decision of Congress that hereafter
the legalization Of African slavery in its con-
shall be deemed good and sufficient
cause for the rejection of the admission of an
State into the UnioI-and then fancy him r..

Principle.

LET the young man adopt just and correct
principles in the outset of life and rigidly adj

going astray. He will be in possession of a
talisman that shall guard him from danger
in every hour of temptation. If assailed by
the tempter and invited into forbidden paths,
let him stop and inquire, is it consistent with
my professed principle that / partake Of this
evil ! In this way he shall avoid transgres-
sion.
1t is the abandonment of principle which
fills our gambling saloons and grogshoPs with
their wretched victims, and our jails and poor
houses with suffering inmates. The MAORI

ruinous consequences ensued- Beware how
