A Beautiful Observation-Disclosures and the lire
pressibIe Conflict.
Abolitionsm will sometimes make man do some
very mean things-but in judgment, the very mean
est thing it can make him do next to stealing slaves at
homel IS to be counting and inviting if not begging
foreign assistance to excite and keep alive disturbances
at home Yet this would seem to be just what some OF
the republican leaders here have been doing when they
hired Col Forbes foreigner to go to Kansas in order
to keep up rrepressble conflict among our orethren
and countrymen there. Nav, more than this Evidence
is now coming out that this republican hghtlng-nan
Forbes, was deputed by the antsaVery socleugs IN

Every letter which goes through the postoce receives
pOstmark stamp, with the of the place at
which the letter first mailed. Through the
esness of writer's this is often the only indication to
the person who receives the letter of the particular local
itv whence it came no name OF town. county or State
being at the head of the letter. In the transaction OF
business this last omission is very ncOnvenent and an

delay not oss to both parties But the carelessness
OF writers of letters might be IN some measure checked
by the pOstmark if it could be read But, unfortunate
N though the mark is always put upon the letter, it is
done in such careless and haSty manner that, one

trouble of placing them upon the letters would other
