POLITICAL.

The editor of the Lewisburg (Pa.) Chroni-
Gle wrote recently to Mr.. Giddings, to ask if
he ever said that he "could spit upon George
Washington, when he remembers that he was
a stakeholder" TO which Mr.. Giddings re-
piled, as everybody, including those who in
vented the story, would expect him to do He
says
IL never said, or wrote, or thought, or CON
ceived the gross and vulgar expression which
you say is attributed to me, or anything that
bears relation, likeness, or similitude to it. On
the contrary, have at all times and on all oc-
casions insisted that Washington and his CO.
temporaries should be judged according to the
age in which they lived, and the circumstances
under which he and they were surrounded !:
and that shareholders of the present day, bred
and educated amid the institution, are thousand
times less guilty than Northern doughfaces,
who, though bred and educated in the love of
| liberty, yet encourage and uphold the slave
trade lin this city, and i n our territories and
| on the Southern coast) with all its attendant
crime and revolving horrors"
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Patriot denies that the South American
members of the House have determined that
the Speakership of the next Congress must be
conceded to them They will be ready to yield
that office, he "has reason to think" to the
Free States, upon condition that just liberal,
and unexcephonable man shall be selected as
the candidate--one for whom they can vote
without compromising themselves at home
such man, for instance, as Mr.. Corwin, per-
haps Mr.. Sherman, or Mr.. L. j. Morris or
others that could be named"
The aggregate expenditure of the Post Office
Department during the last year (1856) of
Judge CampbelPs tenure were about SIC, 500,
900, and now they exceed $20,000,000l This
fearful increase Of cost has not been compen-
stated by corresponding benefits to the country.
There is room for retrenchment.
The well-informed Kanzas correspondent of
the Boston journal says that DIR. Garvin, the
Lawrence Postmaster who aided in the kid
mapping Of DIR boy, is afraid to come home.
Dr. boy and son, were at last accounts, in
Platte County tMo.) Jail, where they were

POSTMASTER GENERAL BRowN's LAST In
TERvIEw WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL about
ii o'clock p. M. on Monday, the President
called to see the Postmaster General, and the
last interview between these two high officers
of the government was quite touching. As
MIR. Buchanan was about to leave the room.
which he had quietly entered, and from which
he was noiselessy departing, Mrs Brown re.
marked to her husband that the President had
called to inquire into the condition ofhis health.
He quickly answered that he would be glad to
see him-hearing which, Mr. Buchanan re.
turned to his bedside. Mr. Brown remarked
"Mr. Buchanan, have endeavored faithfully
to discharge all my public duties" To which
the President replied that his efforts had been
successful, and that the whole country would
attest to his fidelity as public officer, and the
success that had attended his administration
OF the department; and, while COMMUNICATING
ms suffering condition, expressed hope for
ms restoration to health. Mr. Brown seemed
conscious that the time for hope had passed
ana with evident feelings, having thanked the
PRESIDENT for the uniform kindness which he
had extended to him and his family, babe him
adieu In few hours he was no more.--Na-

hope we may point out without appearing to
be blood-thirsty. The penalty is not proper
toned to the crime. 1t is first declared that no
persons in the State, however they get here,
shall be considered as property. They are
free by divine right. Yet the penalty for vio-
lating the law-for making free man slave
is not to exceed five years imprisonment.
Why, we have known rascals to be imprisoned
for longer time than that for getting into a
street fight, or breaking into junk shop. The
law of the United States Furnishes those who
steal negroes from the coast of Africa with
death. The law to prevent the stealing them
from Massachusetts is a mere bagatelle by the
side of it. We are free to confess, however,
that this objection is not a vital one; and we
would not have the law defeated on this ac-
count
1t will be sign of great progress when the
Legislature shall establish the principle of the
freedom of all men without mental reserva-
ton. The present session of the Legislature is
now drawing to close. We trust that early
and manly consideration will be given to this
subject, which its interest to the people of the
whole State and its own importance demand.

Several mail contractors are here, endeavor

overland mail contractors are among this class
On April the government will owe them

From the Times correspondence
James McGuffie has been confirmed as Su-
perintendent of Indian Affairs in California.
This is the same gentleman who was appoint
ed Marshall of California by President Pierce,
but who resigned, owing to popular clamor
against the appointment, in consequence of his
having been keeper of gambling house.
Senator Weller would not let the name go be-
fore the Senate. Commissioner Denver again
protested against McGuffie's appointment to
any position under the Indian Bureau, and in
formed the President that he should resign if
the appointment was made. Mr.. Nugent of
California, however, insisted on the appoint
ment being made over Denver's protest He
has carried the day, and tomorrow General
Denver will resign his office as Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. Thus we 60"

ALICE LEARMoNT; Or, A MOTHERS LOVE. BY the
author of John Halifax, Gentleman With il
lustrations by James Goodwin. Boston; Mayhem
& Baker. 1859.
Few writers have won a reputation so high and
general as the author of "John Halifax, Gentle
man." and the annunciation of her name as au-
thor of new book is sufficient to insure it a wide
reading. Such, the work before us is destined to
have not merely for its authors sake but for its own
merits. 1t is quite unlike its predecessor, being
Scotch farie tale, illustrative of mothers love- and
told with great power and eloquence. There is
enough in it of the wild and mysterious to excite the
imagination and to create the interest which is al
ways felt, in those tales which are well conceived
and well told, in which the natural and the super
natural combined for the calculation of any
truth, principle, or theory, which the writer may
wish to impress on the mind ofthe reader

To the ship which brought copy of Michael Ange-
los statue of Christ from Italy to America for the
American Antiquarian Society:
Bark after bark has sunk in gales like these
Facing the jealous West, as thou dost now;
Still thou must breast each wave, nor shun the seas
Which beetle downward on thy Westward PROV!
The great "Christbearer'@ quailed not; he as thou
Left Italy to seek our Western shore,
And, as another dove another olive bore,
Seeing, across the waste, another promise bow.
Beat Westward still! Beat downward every wave
The Christ, who gave our new world to the old,
Fen then his secret to his Michael told,
And to his eye the sacred vision gave
Beat the waves down! Let them His form behold
Who are His "other Sheep not of his early fold!
*hs allusion to the and avowed object of Chris
topher Columbus has added interest the fact that the
American Antiquarian Society honors his memory by
holding its annual meetings the anniversary his great
discovery.
