Gar Genera Jos recently decided that if Post Mas

that their papers remain IN the Post Once, without

Pest Osics laws, however, will not save newspapers
ero,, loss b. he dishonesty Of subscribers and the
Dsv,est OF Post Masters. The only adequate rene

~ We have no concern with the reason why
SIR Winter Davis 10 mis- seat when the vote was
tsEen on the motion TO refer the Kansas question to
= specisl committee. We stated that his colleague,
hIr Harris, was absent engaged in taking testimony
20 sustain his ssst In Congress- that his sest was
contested by o Democrat; that his sbs,nCe was
forced by that contest; that if he had been present
the result of the vote would have been different.
Now, We ask she Union and American If II denies
sly Of these facts Come, ueIghbor Let US dispose
Of the Harris question, before We enter upon the
Winter Davis Oue.-Pat-ioL
We don't know any thing about these "fsots. q"
But We do know that It was no more necessary for
Mr. HARRIS to be absent than for Mr.. DAVIS And
Uinco the Patriot suggests the question, we would
roal like to see FIRST, its authority for the state
men, that Mr.. HAEEIs, if present would have voted
differently from his colleague; and secondly, evil
dence that Mr.. HARRIS was so pressingy engaged
as To have been unable to devote day the great
question before Congress. The result hereafter
u Az depend on the vote Of Mr.. HARRIS aud this
fast makes the information now called for all the
more important.
When the Patriot reasons from i, it is not out Of
place for US to say, that i the Know NOthings of
Baltimore had been beaten by the Democrats, the
Par3ofs views Of this Kansas question would have
os-ily triumphed.

Gov WIsE.-The Black Republican papers and
their "sllies," are publishing with much gustO,
Gov. Wise's recent letter against the LecomptOn
Constitution. This erratie gentleman, for some
purpose Of his own, which will be soon made to
appear, very suddenly changed his opinion. Only
as late as last November, Gov Wise published a
letter, In which be gave the following excellent aRd
conclusive reasons why he then occupied precisely
the same position which he HOv abuses the Ad-
ministra'iOn for occupying. In November last, Gov
Wise said:
If, upon precedent, the Convention of Kansas
adopts g republican form Of State government, and
reports it 70 Congress- without submitting it TO the
people, / agree with Mr.. Hunter in accepting it,
and voting to receive Kansas as q Stste-slave or
Iree-intO the Union. And Why Because, FIRST,
Of president; and secondly whether it be accepted
rejected it hiss to be submitted, is rejected at
last, in either event, to the popular vote. If a
majority do not approve Of the constitution, they
may organize another convention Immediately, and
adopt any republican form, after they are once
State without submitting it at all to Congress.
