WHITE CHoKERs.-The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon
recently expressed himeelf against what the

deacons who used to control the ministers
They are all dead nowadays, am happy to

INCREASE oP PosTA0E.-It may be we'll
for our readers to remember that the postal ar
rangements established on the passage Of the
law creating Daily Overland Mail, fix the
Rocky Mountains az the barrier beyond which
three-cent stamp will not pay the postage Of
letter going East. All distances therefore
beyond the Rocky chain require ten cent
stamp, the law applying as well to the letters
sent from California to the Atlantic states as

Cor. EMoRY.-This officer, who was silly
enough to resign and whose restoration TO the
army has caused much dissatisfaction and per-
haps justly, is entitled to some credit by way
Of offset to his resignation. When in command
at the West, recently, by his energy, military
skill and loyalty he saved to the country more
than quarter Of million Of Government pro-
perty, and, what is still more important,
brought back to Fort LeavenwOrth, undemOral-
lied, eleven companies Of splendid regular
troops, two cannon, ninety wagons, six hum

as ever to be guided by the Constitution
and the laws, and that he probably will
have no different understanding of the pow
ers and duty Of the Federal Government,
relatively to tile rights Of the States and
t!lepeople under the Constitution, than that
expressed in the Inaugural Address.
He desires to preserve the government,
that it may be administered for all time
as it was by the mon who made it; loyal
citizens everywhere have the right to claim
this Of their government. The government
has no right to withhold or neglect it; and
it is not percei, ed in givingit, that there is
any coercion, any conquest or any snbJu-
CATION, in any just sense Of these terms
The Constitution provides, that if all the
States accept its provisions, that the United
States shall guarantee to every State IN
this Union, Republican form Of gogs.n-
ment.
But if a State may lawfully &c out Of
the Union, after having done SO, it may
also discard the Republican form Of gov
ernment; SO tina; to prevent its going out
is an indispensable means to obtaining the
guarantee mentioned, and when an end is
lawful and obligatory the indispensable
means TO il are also lawful and obligatory.
Ii was with the deepest regret that the Ex-
ecutiye assumed the duty Of employing the
war power in defence Of the government;
forced upon him, and he could but perform
this duty or surrender the existence of the
government
No compromise by public servants could
in this case be cure. Not that comprom-
ises are not often proper, but that no pop
ular Government can long survive mark
ed precedent, that those who carry an cleo
ton can only save the Government from
immediate destruction by giving up the
main point upon which the people gave The
election. The people themselves, and not
their servants, can safely reverse their owl
deliberate decision. As a private citizen
the Executive could not have consented
that these institutions shall perish, mucl
less conld he in betrayal Of SO vast and 81
sacred a trust as these free people had con
fided to him. He felt no moral right t
shrink, or even count the chances Of hi
own life in what may follow. In full view
of his great responsibility he has SO ia
done what be has deemed his duty. Wi
you not, according to your own judgment
perform yours.
He sincerely hopes that your views AM
your actions may so accord with his as t
assure all faithful citizens who have bee
disturbed in their rights of certain AM
speedy restoration to them under the Con
stitution and the Laws. Having in thi
chosen our course without guile and wit
pure purpose, let us renew our trust in Coo
and 90 forward without fear and wit
manly hearts.
