The New York Tribune threatens TO dissolve
" the connection between the souls and bodies of
Jefferson Davis and bis fellow traitors. "
Ina lengthy review of Senator Davis speech
before the late Democratic State Convention, the
Tribune holds the following Language:
"Ir conclusion, Mr. Davis explicitly says: "In
the contingency of the election of a President
ON the platform of Mr.. Seward's Rochester speech,
lei the Union be dissolUed" As Mr. Sewards speech
eds in accordance with The Republican platform Of
1856, this may fairly Be construed into declaration
on the part OF Mr.. Davis that the election of a
Republican President will be the signal for an
attempt to dissolve the States We do not be.
lieve that the attempt will be made; but we
believe nothing win prevent it being made unless
il be the fear of the consequences, personal and
political, likely to follow the attempt What
those consequences will be we do not n0W propose
to show. We suspect, however, that if a Repub
lican President shall be elected in 1860, and Mr..
Davis and the State of Mississippi undertake to
rebel against the Government, it is probable that
any dissolution that may ensue, will be dissolu-
ton not of the American Republic, but fths con-
nection betVsen the souls and bodies Of Mr.. Davis
and his fsltoU traitors"

The LEvEE LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL Under
this heading, the Oxford Mercury has the follow.
ing:
Judge Henry, in case brought before him at
Yazoo City, decided the Levee Law to be uncon-
stitutonal. The case, we understand, will be
taken to the Supreme Court, where this impor-
tant question win be finally dec ded.
There is much dissatisfaction existiAg against
the present law, and we doubt not that decision
of the Supreme Court declaring it unconstitutional
would be received with general satisfactor. An
impression prevails here that the Levee fund will
not be judcially expanded, but on the contrary,
will be reckessly squandered and wasted. Wheth-
er this opinion is well founded we know not, but
it looks very much as if it was correct when we
take in view the enormous salaries which Levee
officials receive. We think they might get along
with one half the pay they are now getting.
There will be a strong effort made in the next
Legislature to repeal the law, and enact in its
stead one that will not be so Objectionable and
odious. We trust the movement may be success
full.

Fornoy,s ATTACK. or, Mr.. uo1,

WAsnNGToN, August 29-I see that
Forney, instigated by Wescott, the disgrac>
ed exPostnaster of Philadelphia, and his
desire to bring into disrepute all who are in
any way connected with Mr.. Buehanan's Ad-
ministration, continues his villainous as.
saults upon Mr. Holt and the Post. Office
Department. have taken the trouble to
examine into all Forney's statements rea
tive to the postal affairs of the country, and
find that they are false from beginning to
end; wilfully, maliciously false, known to
be so by the editor when he manufactured
them for his bogus Washington letter.
With all due respect for his predecessors,
allow me to say, purer man than joseph
Holt never filed the Office of Post, master
General. During the brief period he has
held that important post, numerous evils
which during many years have crept into
the department, have been corrected, unnec
essary expenses cut off, delinquents made to
perform their duty, and subordinates of eve.
ry grade given to understand thatsthey will
be held to strict accountability. He has
the ability, the industry, honesty and nerve
to make model Postmaster General, and
his report to Congress will, no doubt, show
and recommend many salutary reforms, and
how millions OF dollars have and can vet be
saved without injury to public interest,"
All Mr.. Hollis acts thus far have been with
an eye single to the public good. He asks
nothing of others that he is not willing to
do himself. He takes nothing from his Of
fee hours, but makes more time than any
clerk in his department, early and late be-
ing constantly at his post, which enables
him, even at this early day in his official
life, to understand every case that comes be.
fore him in its mnutest details, and decide
on its merits with all the correctness Of an
experienced officer. Tn private life this gen.
tleman is above reproaoh; he is pattern to
all public men who desire to be as good as
they are great. Such is the man whom
John w. Forney. who has proven himself
false to duty, honor, his friends and to his
party, is endeavoring to drag down to his
own level.
