The P6st-Ofice Appropriation Bib
It's Defeat The PFemeditated Act Of
the BLACK Republicans.

The Post-OGice Approximation BtlI--
Its Defeat the PFcnesiftated Act OF
the Black Republicans.
In s;caking Of thu recent action Of the
House o. Representatives Ia rejecting
the post-oiiice appropriation bill, the
States very justly says;
The country viii demand an oxpla-
nation Of the failure on the part Of Con
gress to provide support for an inlis-
pcnsable department Of the public service.
The miscarriage Of the post-olicc appro-
priation bill is a national calamity; and
unless the President viii venture to ap-
propriato money without warrant of law.
we do not see in what manner the omis.
sion can be repaired It's impossible to
convene the new Congress in time to
provide for the postal service Of the next
year. And this serious disaster is brought
upon the country by the deliberate folly
Of the Representatives of the people -
Who is to blame Which Individual
and which party are accountable for the
criminal neglect of the public interests
1t is not difficult to fix the responsibility
on the guilty parties.
The journals viii show that BlacL
Republican RepgcselltQtire from Penn.
sylyania availed himself Of an untenable
pretext to precipitatc an issue with the
Senate; that he was sustained by his po-
htlcal associates an6<a few deserters from
the Democracy, and 50. succeeded in de-
Tcating an appropriation which is indis-
pensable to the operations of government.
The journals will exhibit the further
fact, that this expedient was not adopted
until after the failure Of conspiracy
among the same parties to suspend the
action of government by a refusal to vote
any supplies whatever The effect Of
the exposition is to convict the Republi-
can party Of as damning an act of trea-
cherry as any recorded in history. Such
will be the verdict of the American
people"
With these facts patent before the
country, and the positive proof Of the
utter want # principle and patriotism Of
this Abolition party, we still find the
organs of the Know Nothing faction
(talscly assuming the title of the "Ame-
rican party'') urging a union with these
Abolitionists, and manifesting not only
willingness but an ardent desire ia
merge their own little party and all their
boosted love of country in this over
whelming mass of hypocrisy and fanati-
cism. Yes, these self-styled "Amori-
cans" are ready to unite heart and soul
with the enemies of the Union, and dc
anything to embarrass the Government
and blight the interests of the country
II by so doing they can break down the
Democratic party and put themselves into
power. The great leader of the opposi.
ton, MIR. Seward, has openly proclaimed
that the Democratic party is the only
barrier which prevents the destruction Of
the Constitution and the dissolution Of
the Union. He has said, that so long as
the Democratic party remains in power
so long ciH the Constitution and tho
Union be preserved Break down thC
Democratic party-destroy its nationalit,
or efhcicney-and the Constitution anc
the Union fall with it.
The programme has been marked out
and every engine is to be set at work t.
accomplish this object The Black Re.
publican forces are to be thorough,
united, the South americans arc to b,
drawn into the alliance the Know-No
thing faction has already given in it,
adhesion to the compact; disappointed
Democrats and Wilmot proyiso men arc
invited to come in; and with this molly
assemblage, led on by Seward and Gree
ly, the effort will be made to overwheln,
the National Democracy. obtain posses.
sion of the Government and mould it t.
the faetious, sectional purposes Of these
mad fanatics. The plan of Mr.. Seward
for abolishing slavery throughout the
country will then be tried. The disso.
luton of the Union viii speedily follow
and civil war, bioodshed and eternal LA.
tired spring up between the dismembered
States. This is but the legitimate fruit.
o. the proposed coalition Let the friends
of peace, Of the Constitution aud the
Union, look at this matter before the,
suffer ambitious domagogues to lead then
into a coalition so fraught with evil con.
sequences. --Bah RopuL.
