Abuses In the PostoffIcc---Letter from
senator Hale.
Washington, Feb. l7, Ie59.

Washington, Feb. II, 1858.
MRssRs. Foea AND HADLEy 81 wish
through the columns Of your paper, to make
the following statement of facts for the in-
formation Of the people of New Hampshire,
and especially that portion Of the people Of
the State who feel that they have some
claim on me for such attentions rs a mem
Der Of the Senate, rs arc usually bestowed
upon ones personal and political friends
Ever since first became member of Con-
gress, it has been customary for myself and
others to send packages Of speeches sever
ally frankcd, directed to one individual, to
be by him distributed in tho town which he
lives. This practice has the sanction of the
Postoliicc Department.
have mover known package which !
have thus sent prior to this session, to fail
of reaching its destination; but the present
session, the case is quite different. l have
bought and distributed more speeches this
session than | have within the same period
since have been n member of Congress.
| have sent largo portion of these speech
es in packages safely secured and legibly
directed, and, in every instance, havc sent
a letter accompanying the package to the
same individual, and in every case in which
l have heard, in answer to my communica-
TONS / am informed my letter has been re-
ceiyed, but the speeches have not.
That you may sec that have not made
general charges without specification, will
give you the names of several individuals to
whom have sent these packages of fspeeches,
and who have written to mo that they have
not received them They are Joseph P.
Morse, of Portsmouth; ]. H. Ely of Roches-
ter; John H. Goodale, of Manchester; B.
Wadlcigh, of Milford D. r. Burnham, of
Plymouth; John L. Carlton Of Bath
There are many others to whom have sent
| like packages, from whom have received
no answer, but in no single case have / been
advised of the receipt of single package.
In addition to this have sent large num-
ters Of speeches directed TO individuals;
how many of these have shared the fate of
the packages, l, of course have no means of
knowing.
have been TO see the postmaster of this
city. He assures me that tho speeches are
put in bags and sent to Boston, and the
fault must be in that city, or the place of
their destination, or between that place and
Boston. l have no doubt Of the efficiency
and integrity of the postmaster here, nor
can have the slightest doubt that such a
general and universal failure cannot be the
result of accident or mistake.
Mr.. Tappan of the House Of Represen-
tatives, wishes me to say to you that the
Same complaints of failure come to him and
his colleagues, which | have suggested come
to me. l have mado this communication
for your paper that our friends may under
stand tho mode of warfare with which tho
Administration and their subordinatos are
combating the Republican party.
With much respect, very truly your friend,
JOHN p. HALE.

We shalln question the honesty of Mr. BUCHANAN,
and we shall oppose all meetings with or without bsek
bone as we believe they not for the interest of the
democratic party.-Messenger.
An honest confession is good for the soul,
is an old and true saving. Honest confess
sions may be, but whether making CON
fession through ignorance, however truthful
it is, will relieve the soul of its burden is
very uncertain. Botefur opposes 'all meet
ings with or without Backbone" because
he believes "they are not for the interest of
the democratic party" Why are they not
for the interest cf the democratic party p
(Our readers will bear in mind that the
democratic party, in the Messengers die
tionary, means those who favor the Presi-
dents Lecomptcn policy.) Because he de-
sires to keep the matter hushed up, that the
people may not know what damnable acts
have been perpetratcd in Kansas in the
name and by authority of this same democ
racy! He goes against meetings because
| it is for h,s interest to go against thcm; he
has two hundred reasons dollars year TO
being opposed to "all meetings." and every
ono acquainted with Botefnr knows that on,
half the argument used to convince hin
THAT "all meetings with or without "bacl
bone" "aro not for the interst Of the dem
ocratic party" would have been amply suf
icient. Strange as it may seem to Botefur'
acquaintance, he has twice told the trutI
since he has been advertised MS The edito
of the democratic Messenger. Once in tn
above paragraph, and once before when h
said he could lie. II was nm uunecessar
announcement, that he could lie, as ever
one who keew him was already aware tina
"trulh was stranger than fiction" to him.

Tho Americans.

1t is hoped that the vote of the Amori-
cans on Thursday is indicative of deter
minaton to oppose Lccompton, on the final
vote. On the motion to lay the appeal of
Mr.. Harris on the table, which was test
vote, the motion was lost, 97 to ll2. The
Times correspondent says:
"The Administration was beaten by the
votes of Messrs. Davis, Harris and Ricaud,
Of Nd; Underwood and Marshall, of Ky.
and Gilmcr of N. G If the absentees had
been present, including the speaker, the
vote would have stood-ll1 Lecompton to
ll6 anti-Leeompton.
p. S.-Another test vote on Friday, in a
full House, showed greater strength on the
part of the I.ecompton men, but still result
ed in their defeat. 1t arose. on the motion
of Mr.. Jones Of Tennessee to lay the ap-
peal of Col. Harris on the table. 1t failed
109 to Ill. The understanding now is
that the minority Of the Committee arc tc
put iL their report Of the facts whenever
the majority report is presented. 1t was
this understanding which led to the with
drawal of Mr.. Harris lnotion.--Bldde.

The Second ADti-LecomptOn Victory I'm
the House.

Tho mail brings some interesting details
of Mr. Stephens test motion, the result Of
which was so disastrous to Lccompton and
the Administration. On the Speakers de-
cision that no report of the facts could en-
anate from the minority, Mr.. Harris asked
if it was not usual to submit the question
of privilege to the House. We quote the
Speakersreply, and subsequent proceedings,
from the T1'iJtme's special correspondence
Mr.. Orr replied with much emphasis
"Sometimes yes and sometimes no."
Mr.. Harris appealed from the Speakers
decision.
After remarks by Mr.. Washburn, vindi-
eating the right of the minority, Mr.. Wins
low moved call of the House.
The first trial on Mr.. Winslow's call of
the House resulted-Ycas, 90; Nays 1O9.
Mr. Stephens then moved to lay Mr.. Har-
riss appeal from the Speakers decision on
the table.
The motion was defeated--ycas 07; nays
112. Fllibustering now was beginning
But finally, on motion of Mr.. Humphrey
Marshall, tho matter was postponed until
tomorrow
On Mr.. Stephens test motion, the North
ern Democrats who voted in the negative
were: -
Messrs. Adrian, Cockeril, Cox, Davis (Tll
inois,) English, Foley, Harris illinois, Has
kin, Hickman, Lawrence, McKibben, Mar
shall illinois, Montgomery, Morris, Shaw
Smith, (Illinois)
The Americans in the negative were:
Messrs. Winter Davis, Gilmer, Harris ant
Ricaud, (MarylandD Marshall and Under
wood (Kentucky.)
The Northern Democrats in the affirma
tive were:
Messrs. Arnold, John Cocrane, Corning
Dimmick, Florence, Gillis, Gregg, Hatch
Hughes, Hylcr, Clancy Jones, Owen Jones
Kelly, Landy, Marclay, Miller of Ohio, Nib
lack, Pendleton, Philips, Reilly, Russell
Scott, Soaring, Sickles, Ward--25.
The known pairs were:
Messrs. Edie and Moore, Cochrane ant
Keitt, Morse of New York and Garnett.
Mr.. Hall, of Ohio, Anti-Lccompton Dom
ocrat, was detained at home, by sickness il
his family.
Mr.. Moore, Anti-Lecompton Democrat
was also absent. Not one Republican wa
absent impaired.
We noticed that Mr.. Burns, of this State
did not vote on either of the above ques
tons. Tho Times correspondent says tha
if the absentees had been present, includin!
the Speaker, the vote would have stood Il
Lecompton to 11e Anti-Lecompton.
| By this account matters look as if tn
Lecompton swindlo might even yet be dc
feated in the House.

ring to the appointment of Cook, as post
master at that place, says:
We believe that we are expressing tho
opinion of all classes of our citizens when
we say, that the powers at Washington
have in making and confirming this APP
pointmcnt, been guilty of high-handed
outrage, and shown most unjusti6able dis

Mr.. Stanton,s speech,

The speech of Ex-Gov. Stanton, at Co
lumbus, appears to have been the most clear
and conclusive statement of the outrages in
Kansas, that has yet been made. The o.
s. Journal in noticing it, says:
at was great speech; great in its sub
iect; great in its facts; great in the manner
in which they were treated. 1t came upon
one like the solemn organ sounds of ca
thedral music. 1t was statesman, schol-
ar, and gentleman, speaking against
wrong doing, and for liberty and Justice
Mr.. Stanton spoke three hours. He gave
n detailed history of matters in Kansas, of
the frauds practised upon the people, of the
duplcity practised by tho Government, and
of the wrongs there made manifest. Nov
er have we heard such story of wrongs
and expressions. Never was there such a
history spoken as he spoke--of free peo-
pie outraged by their rulers. He wholly exon
Grated the free State men from blame
On the contrary, he said that had the facts
been reversed; had the pro-slavery party
been in the position Of the free State men
had they had triumphant and legal ma
iority, as the free State men had, and the
free State men had attempted to practice
such vilainies upon them, as had been prac
ticed upon the free State men, not man
of them vould be left alive IN the Terri

"rhe meeting was spiritless. There was
