Notwithstanding the various obstacles in the way of
the due execution OF the postal service of the government
which Messrs. Grow and Broderick have occasioned by
their factious abuse Of the power which the people un-
fortunately confided to them, it is sincerely TO be hoped
that no extraordinary session of Congress will be called
by the President, at least until after all the elections for
members Of Congress have been held. The whole affir
was a disgraceful dodge, and ought to be defeated at any
sacrifice. The people-the democratic masses will sub.
nit to any Inconvenience rather than allow Grow and his
black-republican friends to reap the benefit OF their STRAIT
agem. | should like to see the constituencies which
specially admire Grow and approve the doctrines Of his
black republican associates deprived of the postal facil.
tiles which they now enjoy. ] hope that, instead Of two
mails a day which they now possess, they may be curtan
ed to one per day, or even three per week, In order that
they may thoroughly comprehend and feel the effects of
partisan trickeTy-trickery which, il practised by a par.
eel Of gamblers, would exclude the guilty parties from
association with all but the most utterly depraved The
republican journals are very tender Of the renu.
tation Of the oficious Grow, the New HAMPSHIRE
stump orator, and are very much alarmed lest
the President may curtaH the postal facilities on tlfoyM-
enu routes, y rather than cali an extra session Immediately
They speak with O piety worthy of a oonventicie of what
is due to the commerce of the country apart from DO
litical parties and political jealousies and while they
whitcwash Grow and his ~obsequious associates in the most
unworthy pieoo Of trickery ever practised by any one
holding higher ideas OF %pgopriety and public duty than a
Tomb's lawyer, they show how necessary it is to assem-
BILE Congress, while n third of the States OF the Union
are unropresented, IN common with all the democrats
of my acquaintance, | hope that anything may be suf-
fered rather than allow these ~treksters to succeed.
Tho administration has done its duty. The country
knows that it has Sone so, and is aware where the re.
sponsibilty lies. Let Il lie tileTe Until it brushes those
who assumed IL, and who now seek to sduirm OUT Of f.
and at the Same time steal a partisan advantage.
The republicans are shouting and hurraing over their
wonderful victory In New ggm2sbire. / never heard n
democrat doubt the result but / did nos Expect that the
democrats would have gained as enormously as they Layc
on the popular vote in certain places. Grow, Galusha.
was there, and spoke with bis wonted eloquenco. He
deserves republican honors whenever tho republicans
have tho power to confer any which honest men caa &c.
cept. That will be. hope, on that Irish festival, st.
Tbs Eve which neither comes before nor after Christmas.
The city papers announce, under 'fuIl- faced headings.
another murder in the Fourth Wand. In this case the
culprit is a son Of "lar cati,ay,H who quarreliod with his
wife, Fan Irish lady Of Incorporate habits" and punish
ed a third party, a Mrs. Fletcher, who undertook to re-
store harmony, Nv stabbipg her with a dirk knife, and
causing her death. Apo ID the name Of the disciple OF
Confucius, and he says he did Ii - ureYent iiapertinent

Hon. Edward Everett delivered his oralon on franklin
