Excluding Papers from the MANS.

The Providsuee Journal thus rsfreshes the
recollection OF the sympathilers with treason,
who are complaining that incendiary papersare
excluded from the mails- Il will be seen that
the precedent was established by frstrate Dem
Ocratic authority;
"More than twenty years ago, in the admin
istration OF Van Buren,, the people IL Charles
ton objected To the transmission Otcertain news
papers and publications through the nails
They assembled at the Post Office, demanded
the Objectionable papers, and burned them in
the public square. This act was fully sustained
by the Postmaster General, and by the Presi-
dent, and by the Democratic party, aud the
right Of people 10 protect themselves against
'incendIary PublicatiUus"-they or the post
masters, not the courts, being the judges Of
what was "inceudiary"-his since been fully
recognized, aud has passed., by construction and
Interpretation, at least, INTO the law Oi the land.
Under this ruling, many of the Northern pa
pers, and latterly most Of them, were excluded

Caleb Cushing, when Attorney General under
Pierce. gave an elaborate opinion. in which he
sustained the right Of the Department 10 refuse
the transmission OF "ineendiary" papers,
term which wasgradually enlarged to include
nearly all the chief papers opposed 10 the Ad-
minsiratiOn Suen has been the law a il has
been administered. and We are not aware that
an appeal has been taken to the courts. The
chaliee is now returned 10 their own lips. The
rule that was established in a time of profound
peace TO strengthen party, is now found avail
able, in time OF war. for the safety OF the Re-
public.
And we think no one can dispute that the prac-
iice so long existing Is n greater violation Of the
liberty of the press aud OF the rights Ufthe cti
ten, than the seizure of the secession papers |
that were supported in New York by money
sent from the rebelchie We think no one can
doubt that the violation Of private freedom in
aid Of the Government, Is far less than the long
persistent, and established violation in the in
terest of slavery and of the party that has
brought all this trouble and all this disaster
upon the COUNTRY.
Had not the practice been established, had
not that rule been confirmed by the decisions
OF twenty years, we would protest against its
exercise now. in any other way than under
the authority of martial law; but since the peo-
pie and the press have so long suffered by il, in
a bad application, itwould be ungracious to OBJ |
jet to Il now that ii IS applied to the safety Of
the Government.

A PArRIorIc DEsocRAr.-A convention,
calling itself the Ohio onion Democratic
Convention, recently met in the Buckeye
State, and nominated Hon. J. Scott Harrison
as candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Mr..
Harrison evidently thinking that the Con-
yentiou with its haJsds eorpu, resolutions
denouncing the Administration and its "Na.
tiOnal Convention plank, savored more Of
DisunioH than Of Union, has declined the
nomination. In his letter Of declination, he
says;
"lt seems to me that this is not the proper
tune to arraigu the Administration for errors
Of policy; and that it it neither the part OF
wisdom nor patriotism to assail the Govern
inent when the enemy Is laundering ut the
gates of the Capitol. Let US settle the great
question Of Country or no Country, Govern
ment or no Government, Union or Disunion;
and having accomplished this great work OF
duty and patriotism, we will have ample

Accounts from southwestern Missouri
