az constitutional right the privilege OF taking
slaves into the free Territories Of the United

only be established by special law.

direct vote, had repudiated what purports to be a

aggressions of the North. The South had taken
the matter into their own hands, and would no

Dear Sir: Accept my thanks for calling INV at
tenton to an editorial OF the Charleston Mercury,
cf recent date, In which am charged, az post
master, with violating letters, and Of supPressng
tke correspondence between Washing ton and
Charleston. IL IL hardly necessary for me to pro-
nounce the charges untrue in every particular
and that would not, under any ciTcumsta noes,
retain one Of my clerks a moment In my employ
had the slightest suspicion Of his integrity /
beg to assure the editor of the Mercury that every
letter and paper received for Charleston is trans
mltted, faithfully, as deposited In this Office
The mail for Charleston is sent direct, under
brass lock, and the pouch should not be opened
at an intermediate Office.
The following regulations of the Department
may, perhaps, afford a solution to the cause Of
suspicion Of the editor Of the Mercury as some Of
his letters, alleged not to have reached him. may
have been sent to the Dead Letter Once through
the inattention Of his correspondents In not hav-
Ing prepaid them.
Soon after the passage of the act of Congress re-
curing the prepayment Of postage letters pest
masters were instructed by the Department to send
a notice to the party addressed, when letter was
deposited in an office, not prepaid, that by enclo-
sing the amount Of postage due thereon the letter
would be forwarded to destination. This prac-
tce prevailed until the LIST November last when
an order was issued by the Department: revoking
the above, and directing that from and after the
LIST November, all letters deposited for trausmis-
sion, not prepaid, Were to be treated as dead let
tiers, and to be forwarded to the Dead Letter Office
Immediately They are there opened, and when
to the writer. As many letters Of this character
are found in the letter.box Of this Office and
doubtless In other Offices, 1t is possible that refer
ence Is had TO letters thus returned and the post
master at Charleston could readily determine this,
as In all cases they have the stamp Of the Dead
Letter Office.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

SECESSION IN UNCLE SANS" ARMY-At the
Chambers Of the Common Pleas there has lately
been quite number Of discharges on habsas
eovpns, the applicants mostly hailing from Cover.
nor's Island and the various enlistng offices. The
plea on which these military bantlings generally
rely Is infancy. They make their appearance In
court arrayed In all the paraphernalia Of their
Uncles attractive costume, some with heavy
beard upon their faces, and feeling that their
dreams OF glory on the tented field are to soon to
pc realized, they ask the court to excuse them on
the plea that they are are infants, though they
have been weaned fer some years, back II Is
very likely that they can discern the signs of the
times, and feel thankful that the wisdom which

evacuation of Sumter under penalty Of Its prompt
demolition if that costs all the lives of all the
men and the expenditure Of all the money that
South Carolina can raise.
Our belief, however, is. that they have come
hither TO beseech the Government for an armis-
nce OF sixty days, under the terms Of which
Major Anderson shall return. to Fort Moultrie,
that South Carolina may get rid Of the current
entire stoppage of business at Charleston and the
enormous cost Of the war she has initiated against

two months, the expenditure Of 81, 4OO, 600,
This idea is a cool one, indeed. 1t amounts TO
asking the Government TO do its pretties to recon-
Gle the Unionists Of the South to secession, and
thus to make II, az it by no means is vet Nm fat

PENNsYLvANIA.-The Hon. Andrew g. Curtin
was inaugurated Governor Of Pennsylvania on
Tuesday at Harrisburg. In bis address he pledges
himself to stand between the Constitution and all
encroachments instigated by hatred, ambition,
fanaticism, or folly. He says the election Of the
President has been made pretext for disturbing
the peace Of the country by wrestling from the
Federal Government the powers which the people
conferred on Ii when the Constitution was adopted
There has been nothing in the life or acts Of Mr.
Lincoln to warrant the excitement. Blinded in
their Judgment, part of the people are now pre-
cipitadng themselves into revolution.
He says that IL Pennsylvania has any laws in
fringing the right Of any State that contravene
any Federal law, or obstruct their execution,
they ought to be repealed. Pennsylvania has
never fatered In the recognition Of all the duties
imposed by the national compact, and will, by
every act consistent with devotion to the interests
Of her people, promote fraternity and peace be-
tween the States. When trade was PROSTATE and
industry paralyzed by adverse Legislation by the
General Government, Pennsylvania waited
patiently. No voice spoke disloyalty or treason,
and no arm was raised to strike at the sacred
fabric Of the Union.
1t will be our duty to unite with the people of
the loyal States In just and honorable measures
Tor conciliation III they are Just and moderate
the danger may be averted. Ours is a National
Government, having all the attributes Of sov-
eregnty. Among these is the rig bit Of self preser-
walton. No State, or combination Of States, can
secede nor absolve themselves from the obliga-
tons Of the Union. Pennsylvania will never
acquiesce in such conspiracy, nor assent 70 doc
triues involving the destruction Of the Govern
ment. IL il is 10 exist IL must have power ade-
quate to the enforcement of the supreme law In
