INSUFFICIENT PREPAYMENTS OF POSTAGE Bl
THE PRUSSIAN CLOSED MAIL,

Tho Post Office Department of Prussia having d.
rected the attention of the Postmaster General to the
circumstance that large numbers Of letters are re
ceived in the mails from the United States which
have been partially prepaid by the sendcrs, and arc
in consequence charged TO The receivers wholly
unpaid we are requested to state, for tho iniorma
ton of the public, and particularly those having cor
respondence with Germany by the Prussian closed
mall that the provisions Of the United States aud
Prussan postal convention require that the postage
upon letters transmitted between the two countries
shall either be fully prepaid OF wholly unpaid.
The combined single rate Of postage between the
United States and its Territories aud Prussia, in
Guiding all the States belonging to the German Aus
trian Postal Union, is 80 cents ON each letter or
packet not exceeding half an ounce in weight, Of
which prepayment in advance is optional in either
country, but is not permitted to pay less than the
whole combined rate.
The postage letter or packet above halt an
ounce, and not over ono ounce is GO cents Above
an ounce, but not exceeding two ounces, 81 10
And so on, an additional 60 cents being charged for
each additional ounce OF fraction of an ounce.
Persops therefore, mailing letters for Transmission
il the Prussian closed mail, should be particular 70
prepay the faH postage, or none n an.
The followers Of Judge Douglas possess one qual

democratic faith in supporting it; aud mputc to The
President the bascst aud most dishonest motives u
favoring it's acceptance by Congress. All this they
say and do with the most unblushing assurance and
when the democratic journals of the country under

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Mr.. MASON, of Kentucky asked to he excused from
serving on the Committee on Accounts
Mr.. SMITH, of Virginia trusted the gentleman would
not be excused.
Mr.. MASON said they had not the confidence of the
House. and did not want to take the responsibility in the
face of this state of things, of passing upon these
counts, more cxtravagant than any presented The
House had right to control the committee that il
should act in accordance with the views of the House.
As the House had refused TO fix the number Of its
ployees, and the compensation they to receive he
was unwilling longer to remain member of the Com
mittee Accounts
Mr. HOUSTON, of Alabama appealed to the gentle.
man to let the matter rest until they obtained oppor-
tunity Of asking the House regulate the subject by

them the State government ' Such course must
bring about serious trouble in their own ranks, but

tired of agitation and excitement" There were
large number of corporation charters granted by the

KANSAS NOT AvERsE TO ADMISSION

The absurd pretext that to admit State into the
Union as a coegual Of the sovereign Commonwealths
of our confcdcracy is TO degrade and opprcss her
that to cohe her citizens with all the privileges and
prerogatives which belong to the sovereign people
of our confedcracy is to disfranchse and defraud
them-is working its own refutation wherever it is
broached, wherever il is subjected to discussion.
The newspapers of the North have been vigorous
ly engaged for two months in endeavoring to estab-
sh this bald absurdity and the result of their Ia
bors has been only TO expose and TO explode it. The
back-republican leaders bave labored the whole
winter with an earncstness and zeal worthy ola bet
ter cause to convince their willing followers that to
erect Territory into State, and to make sovereign
citizens of territorial dependents, is tyranncal
dsfrancbisement but the absurdity has proved
too palpabc for even their own dupes to swa-
low. Their dogmatical assertions received with a
vacant stare of ncredulity by their mnions, who
find it the hardest thing in the world to refrain from
answering with fiat ridicue their appeals for indig-
an absurdity down the throats of practical sens-
BILE people, and TO get up popular movement upon
it, has failed throughout the North. The people will
not be made believe that there is any hardship in
the erection Of Kansas into State. The boot is on
the other leg The general conviction is, not that
the admission Of Kansas would be an act Of wrong,
injustice, and tyranny to her inhabitants but that it
is much better treatment than they really deserve or
have any right To expect.
Nor s the prevailing sentiment in Kansas at all
different from that outside. The spoilt child refuses
obstnately in spite of tho most diigent tutoring to
go into Mysteries and commissions the profer Of
sovereignty and Independence. She receives the
tender quite mildly and kindly. She coquctes lit
tie in gentle way but she is plainly in The yield
