How Would You Like Et

A desperate effort was made at the close
Of the last session of Congress, to IN
crease the postage on letters, from the
present rate of three cents, up to fire and
ten cents each. Of course it originated
with the Slave holders. The idea that the
lahoring population shall be permitted to
indulge the pleasure of frequent cores
pondence with their friends, which low
postage invites, is an offense to the Oil
gnrchy. Consequently Senator johnson,
of Arkansas, proposed the change, and it
was carried through the Senate, by ma
jority of four. Every Southern Senator
present voted in the affirmative, and every
Northern Democratic Senator, except four,
voted with them, two of the four beinr
Douglas and Stewart, who on nearly every
question of the session voted with the
Republicans. Of course no Republican
voted for such measure. II failed in the
House for want Of time. But the scheme
once started, will be made "Democratic
measure" " and will be brought up again at
the next session.
But why does the Democracy thus strike
at one Of the dearest interests and conve-
niencles of the people Because the
Southern Oligarchy can't endure the
spread Of intelligence among the people,
that cheap postage so essentially promotes
And if commencement can be made in
that direction, it can be carried out step
by step, until the laboring men can be
made, in fact, what Senator Hammond saws
they now are, "the mud -sills of society,""
But few persons in the South, except
the Slave holder, can read or write. More
than one-third Of the population is abso-
lutely prohibited by law from learning, and
three-fourths of the remainder have not
the means, there being no common schools
as there are where slavery does not exist.
AT the North everybody reads and writes
Such a measure would strike at the dearest
interests Of the laboring population, for II
would not be long before it would take
large portion Of days work to pay the
postage on letter, which few could afford
to do; but suppress the privilege of cor
respondence, and half the inducoment to
an education is gone, and establish ieno-
rance and the reign Of miserable De-
mocracy, ruled by Slave holders is per-
p'tuated; and hence the movement
Every citizen who does not che ose TO have
his correspondence stopped, had better
look to the tendency of modern Democ-
racy. We venture the assertion that
there is not one solitary Democrat in Meiss
County, who is not utterly opposed to the
measure and yet they will vote for
Member of Congress, who will go with the
South on this very question, and still call
themselves Democrats. This isa singular
spectacle. and if none suffered but those
through whose votes il is TO be affected II
might not be amiss to letthem feel the CON
sequences oftheir folly, bat unfortunately,
all will be Effected alike We ask our
Democratic friends to look at the matter
and see how they Ike it. IF the so-called
Democratic party succeeds in carrying the
noxL Congress, the iniquity viii be con
sanisatel. Ma,k fIle prediction

EI- Letter-writers from Washington
state that the series Of savage onslaughts
upon Senator Douglas, which are dailyap-
pearing in the Washington "Union,'' are
written under the immediate supervision
and dictation of Buchanan, and that the
warfare is to be carried on to utter exter-
mination. 1t is saidthat AL office holders
have been notified that silence or neutral
ity will not be permitted. That every
man who does not promptly espouse the
side of the President against the Senator,
will be dismissed-that Lecomptonism
must be'sustained, and Dougals and his
party "crushed out." Shouldn't wonder
if there were funny times ahead

CARROLL HALL

Carroll Hall continues to be one of the most popu-
lar places of public entertainment in the city. Mrs.
MAoREADY has been giving a course of readings
there which has attracted large and intelligent au-
diences. She was compelled, however, to postpone
her reading last week, in consequence of the meet
ing of the Agricultural Society in the same build
ing, but will appear again this evening. and on
Wednesday and Friday evenings Her selections
for each occasion are FROM the most celebrated
English and American authors, and the literary
entertainment will, doubtless, crafty that large
and respectable portion of the community who will
not attend the Opera.
On Thursday evening Carroll Hall is o.be occu-
pied by PARK BENJAMIN, Esq, of New York, a
gentleman well known and much admired who has
consented to recite his poem entitled "Fashion,''
for the benefit of the Home of the Friendless of
Mr.. BENJAMIN we can only say, what many of our
readers already know, that he is an exceedingly
clever lecturer. We are quite sure that those who
may go to hear him will not regret it, while they
may also take away the pleasant consciousness of
having contributed to the support of one of the
most commendable Institutions in Baltimore.

Verdi's famous Opera Of La Trariaia was pro-

with unusual spirit and effect. The impersonatiOn

been expressed of her musical and artistic ability
This evening, Madame Cora de Wilhorst is to make
her first appearance, in Opera, in this city, in the
part of Etrird in l. Puritani, character in which
she has already achieved, elsewhere, great sue
cess The enthusiastic reception which she met
with in New York, on Monday evening last, where
she is so we'll known and so highly esteemed war
rants us in believing she will receive, she justly
