from many grateful family, could they visit the

bear witness to their desttutiop and their graft.

e In our tclegraphic column, this morning,
viii be found synopsis Of the address Of Gov
Hicks to the people of Maryland, in regard to
TIE secession matter. 1t is very able docu
aent, and will well repay perusal. He takes
ihe ground that rebellion must come immediate
r from the people, rather than from a State,
officially. He refuses to dignity the idea of
secession as legitimate or even possible.
1t is refreshing, in the present state of affairs
TO see one man, who in the midst Of hostile de-
aonstrations and sentiments assailed on all
sides by enemies Of the Union. and constantly
solicited to desert the government for the more
popular side OF treason, has the stamina to re-
main firm TO his constitutional Obligations, and
defy the storm Of popular indignation that swells
around him. 1t is the strongest illustration of
The weak and disgraceful course of the Chief
Magistrate Of the nation. who, with all the
p'ser Of the country at his command, sinks to
''Tardly imbeciity at the sight of little rebel
-on The position of Gov Hicks is in proud
eeetrast with that Of the President The fact
the disgrace which the President has brought
2on himself, will give brighter lustre to the
aCVie action OF the Maryland Governor. and
vii add greenness to His fame.

Mr. DUNLAP Dear Sir: We wish to make
the following report through your columns, in
gard to the result of the premium offered by
US, through the Des Moines County Agricultural
Society, of thirty dollars for the best crop Of
Flax Seed raised from sowing of five bushels,
in the year 1850.
The number Of applications for entry were
thirteen. OF these, two we're in Des Moines
County, six in Louisa County, two in Henry
County, and three in Jefferson County.
The best crop of all entered was raised by
John Skinner, of Louisa County, who raised
ls0 bushels and So lbs. from sowing of
bushels and 2S quarts upon III acres. The
seed was received and weighed by US and was
of excellent quality. We also have his sworn
certificate as to the quantity of seed sown-
We have, therefore, in accordance with the order
from the Society, paid to him the premium,
Most of the crop entered, as well as many others,
we're nearly as good as this, and speak well for
the capabilities of the soil of Iowa to produce
Flax. BuRSiiAh q JAGGAR

The LIBERTY OF THE Press IN FRANCE.-The
address of Count De Persigny to the projects on
the limits of the press in France, after tracing
the history of the severe restrictions placed on
the press in England, from the period of the
accession OF the House of Hanover to the COM
peie humiliation of the party Of the Stuarts,
goes on in these words:
"lf all parties, all writers, really submitting
10 the consttutiye laws of our society, to uni
versal suffrage, which has founded the throne of
the Napoleons, in order to make it the basis of
our Institutions; il those parties, those writer's
respecting the will of the French people, only
desire the liberty of the r!ess for the mainte-
nance and prosperity of the State, then they
have in fact and in law, the liberty of the press
10 France as in England, and the law on warn
ings becomes dead letter"
This is an important concession, and there is
no doubt that hencetorward the press in France
will have full liberty to expose abuses in society
win the government; to discuss the acts of the
administration; to reveal injustice, and to treat
Seurrent topics generally, with much more free
ION than has heretofore been tolerated. For"
sEs the Minister, THAT the movement of ideas,
o. sentiments, of contrary opinions, shall every
Where awaken social, political, commercial and
Industrial life, who can reasonably complain ?"
But thus far shalt thou go and no farther; and
there are parties who propose to themselves
not t3h have their ideas, their doctrines and their
sentiments accepted by the government of the
State but to overthrow the State itself, then we
are told, whatever may be the weakness fthose
prtles, respect for the national feeling, law and
lneres: will not permit that passions hostile to
establish order will be kept alive.

sou,h Carolina Post Onnces.

Chancellor Dunkin, the most practical man in
,he South Carolina Convention, hit the nail on
.be head when he said, that among the masses
,,.,r;otisra is secondary consideration to bread,
.,a that I, was easier to endure the loss Of some
nripciple, than the loss Of the necessities and
conveniencies Of daily life. Hence he deduced
that il was hardly expedient to break loose at
once from the national revenue system; and
then went on to apply the same principles to the
nails Next to bread, the people would insist
upon lgla--the letters, and magazines, and the
newspapers which the abolition of the govern
ment mail system would place out of their reach.
Further to strengthen his proposition, he casual
" mentioned the fact that, the post-ofices in
the State did not pay one-quarter part Of their
expenses, though Of course, such mercenary con-
siderations could have no weight among the Chi
yary. And thus, by plain and practical view
of the matter, he prevailed upon his ot-headed
brethren to modify the secession, 80 as to con-
,inue the old mil convenencies
The plan was very shrewd, and promised very
satisfactory results, and the members doubtless
Hattered themselves for their ingenuity in keep
ing up post-office system at the expense Of
foreign government But it seems that there is
one member of Mr.. Buchanan's Cabinet-only
one-who is faul,less in the discharge of his du
ties,-the Postmaster General, who has opposed
the South Carolina rebellion from the start
AT the first outbreak, some jealous postmaster
in the interior, pompously resigned his office,
and Mr.. Holt quietly accepted the resignation,
saying that if the people would suggest some
responsible person for the vacancy, he should be
appointed, otherwise the Office would be discon-
tinued, and post masters Jealous to decline,
were not SO common afterwards
On the passage of the secession ordinance, he
anticipated, and perhaps, prevented the resig-
nation of all the Others, by giving orders that
no mails should be made up, if such resigna.
tons took place. And now, unwilling to have
his department perverted from its true purpose,
to be made a gratutous Offering to band of
rebels, he has written a circular letter to the
post masters of South Carolina, demanding to
know il they are officers of the State or Federal
Government, with a view to removing all those
who are disloyal. He has also demanded of the
United States Sub-Treasury, at Charleston, the
balance due his department, and in the event of
its refusal will insist upon its collection by force.
Energetic and uncompromising measures such
as these from the War Department, would have
relieved the administration of much embarras-
ment concerning the Forts, and prevented part
Of the disgrace of its present position. All
honor to Postmaster General Holt for his fear
less performance of his duty.

EXTREMES MEET.-The auti.Slavery Standard,
Of week before last, says South Carolina has
fuIhlled our hope, and bettered our expecta-
tons" The Standard concludes by saying:
1--WE trust that the slave laboring States at
least, will go their ways, if it were only to let
the remainder feel how well they can do with
out them, but now or by-andby, sooner or later,
the revolution must come that shall free the tw
hostile nations-natural enemies from the coala-
ton which they call Union. We could wish
that it were the North that would make the
Tove; but we will thankfully accept it from the
South rather than not to have it at all"
Ii will now be in order for South Carolina to
admit the Garrasonian journals to pass through
her mails They no longer insurrectonary
according even to the Charleston Standard
