The Postmaster-Genera in his Report, having
pretty broadly minated that George Law aud
Gustavus A. COnoyer conspiIed with Postmaster
Fowler to palm a worthless bond upon the De-
partmcnt, Law and COnoyer, through counsel,
charged yesterday, in their suit against the Gov
ernment that the late POstmaster-Gencral Brown
wrote letter to Fowler between the LIST and
Goth of September, 1853, calling his attention to
the non.execution of his bond and the then ex-
listing deficiency in his accounts. They allege
that this letter, the draft of which was in the
handwriting of Mr.. Brown, is on file in Wash
ington, and demand its production as evidence in
the cause. If this allegation be well founded, it
would appear that the Department was party
with Law and COnOver to the fraud upon the
Government, if any was committed, and also that
the late Postma ster- General was long privy to
the entertainments of Fowler. Judge Roosevelt
opposed the motion, on the ground that Fowler
made no mention of such letter when exam
ined by the Commissioner III Havana, and that
to prove or disprove the sending of it would re-
quire Commission to issue to the City of
Mexico, where Mr.. Fowler now s. The Court
directed the Government to produce the letter,
or in default the plaintiffs would be entitled to
new Commission. 1t would be quite in keeping
with the character of the Administration of Mr..
Buchanan if it should be shown that the Post
master General really knew of and conniycd at
Fower's dishonesty.

In view OF tho low state Of the Treasury,
We think il the duty of the Senate Of the Uni-

the House Homestead bill. The measure ia
right in principe, aud has always had our
support; but at present the policy OF adopt
ing It is clearly bad. Tho Government will
need AL the revenue from the public lands

Before the election the Democrat press
OF the North pretended to lie in favor OF the
Homestead measure. Nov, when the ext

need 81 Tolitica! capital, the Cincinnati En-
qu'rer hosis their ,rue colors in opposition
to the bill.
The excuse that tbs Treasury is empty, is
"a mere fetch, fer the Treasury vas empty
and the Government had been borrowing
sixty millions or more before the election.

Critic IN e N vs.. webster Hnd CInys
Senator Crittenjen proposes az one item
Of his compromise, (which compromise, BY
the way, consists Of four or Ave concessions
on the part OF the North to the Shareholders
Of the South, and nary one in return,) an
amendment OF the Constitution to extend
the Missouri Compromiss line to the Pacific,
establishing slavery in all the territory south
OF that line.
A proposition to extend the Missouri Com
promise line to the Pacific was made 10 le48
by way Of amendment to the Oregon bill
Mr., Webster voted against the propositions,
and assigned HE reasons therefor at length,
asserting that .We of the North have al
ready gone, in this respect, far beyond all
that any Southern man could have expected,
the Constitution and closing with the EN-.
phatic declaration
81 have made up nv mind for one, that
under sso circumstances DN 1 consent to the
further extension Of the area of slavery 10
the United States, or to the further increase
OF slave representation in the House Of Rep
resentaiiSes.o
In 1870, pending the compromise meas
urss, Henry Clay, in response TO Jefferson
Davis, said:
| am extremely sorry to hear the Senator
from Mississippi say that he requires, first,
the extension of the Missouri Compromise
line to the Pacific; and also that he lie not
satisfied with that, but requires, II under
stand him correctly, q positive provision for
the admission OF slavery south OF that line.
And now, sir, coming from u slave State, a.
do, owe ii to myself; owe it to truth;
owe il TO the subject, TO state that no earthly
power could induce me to vote for specific
measure for the introduction Of slavery where
il bad not before existed, either North OF
South of that line. Coming, as do, from a
slave State, it is my solemn, deliberate and
we'll nn'nred determination that no power
no earthly power-shail compel me TO vote
Tor the positive introduction OF siav cry either
South or North Of that line.''
Such were the sentiments Of the two
mighty leaders Of the old Wing party, ststes-
men whose memories our opponents have
delighted TO honor as 'nationsl patriots.
And yet these are the sentiments of the Chi
cago platform and the Republican party.
II marks the progress OF slaveholding ag-
gression, that Senator Crit.unlcn now pro-
poses 20 DO shaitJ way OF compromise and
amendment Of the Constitution, which Hem
~ Clay declared, ten years ago, nc power on
earth could compel him to do, in behalf Of
slavery. Will the peoplo Of the North, in
The light OF these noble sentiments Of the
statesmen Of the country now yield what
they declared that ono cireum.,aneesn nor
earthly power" could ever induce them TO
conceie.
