On examining the above tabular statement it will
be observed that the postal service brings much
larger returns in the commercial and manufacturing
States than in the agricultural States and that the
cause of this difference is the greatlyincreased cost
of mail transportation in the latter. Leaving the
transportation out of the question, the postal
cepts and expenses in the different sections are as
follows:
Slave States, $l,6s2, gsO % $s!s22O I6
Free States $500, 500 &c 2,435,62l 81
Territories, 75,600 % 36947 rs
This shows that the receipts and expenses bear
about the same proportion in both sections and in
the Territories and sustans assertion that the
marked difference noted above is dependent solely
the additional cost of transportation in the agri
cultural sections.
1t is also we'll enough to state that the transport
taton over extended routes is charged to those
States in which the contract is made, wherein
the routes commence. For instance Maryland is
more and Ohio Railroad to its western terminus,
and also to that the Northern Central Railroad.
The transportation the lower Mississippi river is
all charged to Louisiana, and also that over the
New Orleans, jackson, and Great Northern Rail.
road, which has its terminus in Illinois
There are several other of these examples, and it
is true that they mostly show disadvantageously to
the Southern States. They prove the injustice of
that disposition the part of one section of the
postal receipts Of that other section may not bear
great relative proportion to the expenses their
own 1t is also shown to be almost impossible 10
divide the cost of transportation fairly among the
several States and on the score of other expenses
there is but very slight difference

From the above it will be seen that in all the

cepts were less than the expenses of sustaining the

EB- Judge Law, we are informed, has
started upon a campaign through the coun-
ties of Warrick and Spencer, TO help restore
the waning fortunes of Niblaek. The Judge
has been, during the winter and summer,
a most decided anti-Lecompton Democrat,
fearless and bold, as he ever lain the 'declara-
ton of his opinions. in his denunciation of
the iniquities of Lecomptonisni, and the i'll
judged course of the Administration. He
was privy TO the movements that brought
out Hovey, and if he did not approve he did
not oppose them. He is the professed, po-
litical and personal friend and main adviser
of Senator Douglas, and has been sup
porter of his pretensions to the Presidency.
How he can find it in his heart, at this hour
Of the struggle, TO enlist in the ranks OF
Niblack, and advocate the reelection of a
man whose whole course in Congress he
has condemned, is beyond our comprehen-
sion Of the motives of human action. IL
is one of the strange results of the secret,
mysterious influences we see operating all
around us. We can guess who holds the
thread of them, though we cannot trace
them through all their notifications The
Judge is an honorable man as I" they are
all honorable men and can probably give
a reason for his change of opinion. We

Judge Hovey out as q candidate, and in
which he entered no protest-made no OBJ
jection-but gave his tacit, if not open ap-
proval. The manner in which Judge l..
was brought out indicated some arrange
ment and concert in the matter. Mr.. Laird
was entitled to the floor to reply to General
Lane; but the latter cut him off by calling
upon Judge Law, who had not been an
nounced as speaker.
The weakness and fallacy of the argument
offered by Judge Law, make his new position
more unsatisfactory to those who had re-
posed faith in his integrity and consistency.
Is it true that Representative in Congress
can do no service to his district unless he is
an adhercnt of the majority? Is every dis
trict i'm the Union that sends an opposition
to be denied all rights and justice to be
treated as an outlawed province ? Do the
citizens want any thing from the general
government but their rights ? Will they
ever ask for more ? Will they ever be sup
plicants for its favors? Will the great Na-
tional Democratic party, which the Judge
says sways the country, ever deny to any
section or district its just rights because it
sends to Congress representative Of its own
choice Such an intimation, though COM
ing from the Judge, is a foul libel on the
party to which he says he has belonged for
a quarter of century, and shows that his
long adherence to it has failed 10 infuse its
genius into his head and heart The Demo-
cratic party will do exact justice to every
portion and district of the Union, whether
the people send friend or Zoe to its princi-
pies to Congress, and this district may be
sure of all its just rights and interests be-
ing protected by the national Democracy,
whether Hovey or Niblack go to Congress.
1t docs not attempt to avenge itself on the
, people for any OF their acts, right or wrong
| in its own view.
But what party will have the power in
the next Congress to grant favors, if they
are to be asked? Certainly not the Bucb-
anan-Lecompton party, or the Niblack fac
ton. They will be a miserable minority,
and lie must be humble solicitor for aid in
/ the next Congress, either from Black Rcpub-
licans or the Anti-Lecomptonites, TO carry
any measure he may attempt. The men
who will he the arbiters in all contested
! questions in the next House, will be the in
| dependent band of Anti-Lecompton Demo-
Gratis. They will shape the Legislation, and
determine who shall be the next President,
should the election-as il is probable
to the House. IT. therefore, this district
wishes to secure for itself n weight in the
! councils of the nation that shall be felt upon
its future destiny, let it send Hovey, man
Of nerve and talent, who will become a
/ leader in the band that will lead the leaders
of both the other parties. In that way will
the peculiar wants OF this district be sure 10
command attention.
