The Franking Privilege.
Senator Powell, of Kentoeky. ha* introduced n
bill into the body of which he i* a member, re
pealing the law which grant* the franking privi
lege to member* of Congress. It take* away tbe
privilege, indeed, from every officerof Ilia Govern
ment. Ex-Prasidenta alone, end tlioae to whom
the privilege has been granted by special acta, are
to be allowed to use it. The Preridont hinuelf i*
to have hi* postage* paid by the State IVpartnicnt,
and the Vie* President’* to be paid by the Secre
tary of the Senate.
In lien of the franking privilege each momner
Congreea ii to have ona hundred and seventy five
dollar* worth of postage eUmps furnished him at
tba beginning of each session of Congress.
This laat clausa of the hill vitiate* and destroys
the whol* ohjact. The franking privilege ought
to be abolished unconditionally, if at all. To
taka away the privilego, and then substitute an
equivalent for it in the way of postage stamps, is
a mert evasion. If Congress repeal the law, let
it be repealed altogether, and let our national leg
islators be put. in this respect, upon the same foot
ing with all other officers of the Government.
Without doubt, it would be a great saving to
the Treasury to pass even Mr. Powell's bill. But
the principle of it is wrong. All tbo other office
holders of Government bare to pay postages.
Why make an exception in favor of members of
Congress! Thev aro already pnid extravagantly
for their services. Three thousand dollars a year,
mileage at double the rates paid to monitors of
the Legislature, stationery without stint, newspa
pers, books, and sundry other perquisites, consti
tute a heavy amount jn the aggregate for mem
bers of Congress. We have seen a reliable esti
mate made, showing the aggregate oust of the
two Houses of Congress to be an average of over
thirteen tbousuud dollars per annum to each indi
vidual member. The franking privilege may bo
taken oway and still leave membe-s of Congress
not so poorly paid .as to let the office go a
boggiug. Members of the Parliament of Great
Britain do not receive any pay at all.
Mr. Powell’s object, no doubt, is to break up the |
flagrant abuses of the franking privilege which i
prevail in Washington. It is notorious that many j
members of Congress giro away their franks to J
private citixens. Hundreds of letters leave Wash
ington every duv. w ritten by private citizens, nnd
on private business, but franked by members.
This is an abuse, and a groas violation of tl.e luw,
which ought Pi be stopped. It is not on unusual
circumstance that a member will frank a whole
bundle of envelopes for a citixen, to be used by
the latter at bis convenience. The franking pri- j
vilege is in many cases a source of annoyance Pi |
members, instead of hieing, as tiie law intended j
it, a benefit to bis constituents.
Mr. Powell’s bill i«. therefore, a step \n tlm ^
right direction, hut it fails to meet the case folly. 1
Our postal service whieli, a few ■■ years ago, paid 1
revenue into the Treasury, is now an annual tux
upon it of several miliums. This franking privi
lege, while it is u heavy item -I e st. is not the
only oue. Let Congress lay the use at the r e t of
the tree—and make a general sweep of the frank
ing privilege, the half a doieo l .ihl.-inia mail
lines, the Ocean eteamer auhsides. mo! the costly
and almost useless mail routes in the wilderness
of the West. It i« unjust to make one portion uf
the 1 Tiion pay tho postal expense. , | another.
A Norfolk paper furnishes the following facts,
which strongly illus'ratc tho “oppression” of the
negro, of which we hear so nin h Iron tho !a!*e
philanthropists of the North. These-imple fuels
which ean find their parallel almost everywhere
throughout the South—are worth all the Aboli
tion theories in the world. It is eiiunly njnnrancf
of slavery, its workings and its relations, that is
at the bottom ol so much Northern hostility to the
institution:
John Sanderson, f«rp, of N iff- Ik County I is
paid bis negroes this season, $550, forenrn raised
by them for their own benefit on his farm, lie
paid ono of the men alone, $150. They ure al
lowed time to work for themselves and land to till,
end they are paid literally and cheerfully lor the
product of their extra labor.
George A. Wilson, Esq., of tlm same section,
for com produced under circumstances similar to
the above, has .ecently settled up w ith his men for
the year, paying them font).
We take pleasure in stating further, that W. W.
Warden, Esq., also of this County, lias recently
fiaid hie hands $300 for corn raised on his lund ;
to, like the others, having allowed them time to
work for themselves; and there arc many other
similar cases.
This is all in singular ami striking contrast w ith
the misrepresentations of abolitionists North.—
The negroes alluded to, like millions in the South
ern States, are not oniy plentifully provided for
in every way, hut they are saving money to use us
they may find best in coming years—and withal
they seem as happy as lords. They work well
ana cheerfully in the day, and at night ntnl during 1
the holidays, they sing, danee, smoke, cat sweet |
potatoes, drink bard cider, sit around the big hitch
en fires, “laugh and grow lat,” regntdless of ull
the “ tom foolery " and nonsense about the “ poor
oppressed slaves.”
* Tho Fretlch Mission.
The Washington correspondent of the Philadel
phia Press thus writes ooDceruing tho mission to
France:
It appears that, after aU, the French mission has
not been conferred upon Faulkner, of Virginia.—
This shows that my original impressions were
right, and that the plaoe is held in reserve. Judge
Roosevelt, Diftrict Attorney of New York, and his
friends, have been coquetting with Rennet, of the
Herald, to induce the lattor to withdraw in his
favor. It is possible, therefore, that Mr. Faulkner
may be thrown over. The French mission is n
delicious morceau. You will perceive that in the
organisation ot the committee* of tho Senate Mr.
Slidell, of Louisiuna, has received no important
chairmanship. Why may not the mission to the
court of N apoleon be given to the agreeable and
accomplished Senator from the Sugur Stole? Mr.
Buchanan ought really to send the name of Bennett
into the Senate for this high position, but it would
not bo u more distinguished one than that he has
already so ostentatiously conferred upon him.
Texas Senator
The iirfpreesion has gone out that General
Houston waa defeated in the contest for United
Senator before the Legislature of Texas, on the
Stb ult. Nothing could he futher from the fact.
General Houston waa net a candidate. The elect
ion was to fill a vacancy to serve ouU tho term
which expiree with tbe present Congress, and
Colonel Lewie T. Wigfall was the encccssful con
testant, be having raeeived sixty votes against
fifty-eight cast for five or six other candidates.—
General Houston was not named, neither did he
get a vote. The present Legislature of Texas will
alact a Baited States Senator to serve 1or six years
feoastha 4th of March, 1861, and when that elec
-_V*..

Pennsylvania
W# fin J in the Philadelphia Prcae the Message
of the Governor of IVnosylvania. It give* ui plea
sure to copy and tndorae the subjoined sound and
conservative sentiments expressed by the gover
nor of that groat State. Tlieie view* am particu
larly appropriate aud well timed in th«* present
excited stats of feeling between the two sections
of the Union. If such sound aud catholic view*
prevailed throughout the wh »le North, the exist
ing sectional troubles would soon pass uway for
ever :
The recent teixure of the public property of the
United States at Harper's Kerry, and tneinvasion
of the State of Virginia, hy a small band of des
peradoes, with an intention to excite the slave
population to insurrection, have drawn attention
to the dangers which !»cset uur I ••deral relations.
It is a source of satisfaction to know that the au
thorities of Virginia passess® 1 tli-1 moans an 1 the
determination to punish offenders with prompt
ness and justice; that the military force of I nilt-d
States war* a power immediately available to aid
in putting down tlm outbreak agaiust the public
peace; that the slave population woro contented
with their condition, and unwilling to unite with
disorderly white men in acts «»f treason and mur
der; and that the great mosses of tho people have
no sympathy whatever with any attack upon the
r.glitn and institutions of any of tl o States, and
have a deep amianming uevori n lonur gre»i
glorious Union. To u», hs lVnnifylvBtiiuns, it i*
gratifying to believe thot the citizens of this t oin
monwcaltli have not, in any manner, participated
in this unlawful proceeding, ami to know that
when Some of the guilty perpetrators were arres
ted, within ourjurisdictihn, they were promptly
surrendered to the justice ul the offended and in
jured State.
The several State of this Union aro independent
sovereignities, except so far as thev have granted
certain enumerated powers to the federal (intern*
inrnt. In ruses not provided f« r in the federal
Constitution, the several States in their relations
j to each other ought be govern* I by the conduct !
of civilised natijns. These pi maples forbid, in I
nil nations, “every evil prnc'ieo tending to excite ;
disturbance in another State ; and aro founded
on the maxiin. that “different nations ought in i
time of peace to do ono another all the good they
can without prejudicing their real interests M — j
This maxim, recognized by all tlm civilized tmv
ernment* applies with peculiar f rre to the seve
ral States of this Union, bound together a* they
are by a sacred compact for mutual support and ,
pn lection, and, therefore any attempt in ono
State, to excite insurrection in another, is an of
fence against all the States, because ull uro hound
by tho Constitution to put tl iw imueh disturbance,
and the act of Congress authorizes the President
of the United State* to call tit tin* militia of the
several States for the purpose. It is a high of
fen *c against the peace of our Commonwealth for
disorderly persons within our jurisdiction t » com
bine together (tir tho purpose of stirring up insur
rectioti in any ef the States, or to induce the slaves
in the Southern States to abscond from their in as
ter*: and it would be proper, in my judgment, for
the (ienerul Assembly to ootirider whether addi
tional legislation may lint ho necessary to insure
the prompt punishment of such offender* against
our peace and security.
In determining our relative duties towards our
sister States, the morality of servitude is not an
open finesti»*n, for we sire bound by tho legal and
moral * hbgation of the compact of the Union, un
der whieb we have been brought into existence, '
and preserved as independent State*, as w<dl um by

the Union. No one of my prcile e.-snrs lias taken
upon himself the duties und responsibilities of the
of tlic office under tlie same circumstances. lTio
Legislature and the people expert from me. there
fore, an expression of my views uju n the absorb
iug tpi 'sti..ii of the day. ami some suggestions look
ing to tlie future.
The Constitution of the United Statos, ns pr
dniuod and established by our fathers, was design
ed “toform a tnoro perfect union.establish justice,
insure dnmostio tranquility, promote tlie general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our posterity." They eonstrued It
with reference to these desirable objects, and, as
might have been expected, union, harmony and
brotlierlio'd existed between tlie different sections
—law and order prevailed—justice and right were
respected—the rights of persons and property wore
fully recognized—and eacli Stato was permitted to
regulate its domestic institutions without inter
ference from citizens of tlie other States. Confi
dence and fraternal affection existed between tlie
pcoplo of nil the States in those earlier and better
days of the Republic.
This happy condition of things, continued for
many years, and was interrupted, only, by tho in
torforenco of citizens of tlie Norther,i States, willi
tlie rights and institutions of tlie Southern. Hut
for tho war which liaa been so pcrseveringly waged
against tho institution of domestic slavery, as it
exists amongst us, an institution with which they
liavo no right to intermeddle, wo would hare con
tinued to live harmoniously together, and tlie ties
of fraternal feeling and affliction would be ns
strong now as ever before, in tlie history ot the
Coniederacy. This wanton interference tints com
menced, and so offensively persisted in, has pro
duced the pre-ent alarming crisis, and has brought
the Union of toe States to the verge of destruc
tion.
The Northern people now insist that there must
be no mono slavo territory, no more olavo States,
and that the Fugitive Slave Law, must be repealed,
or so essentially modified, as to render it valueless
f ir tlie recovery of slave proporty. In Massachu
setts. Wisconsin, Vermobt and perhapt other non
■luvehoiding States, tlie Fugitive Slave Act lias
been practically and effectually nullified and ro*i
derud inoperative.
The Massachusetts act declares that the writ ol
habeas corpus may he issued by either of their
Court*, and even by “any jnstice of the peace,'1
in term lime or vacation, and upon the retnrn ol
such writ, ths fugitive slave may demand u trial l>y
i„,,, nn J if tho jury shall disagree, the issue may
'he submitted to another jury, or continued to the
next term, at the discretion of the Court; that no
confessions, admiesionsjor declaration* of the alleg
ed fugitive ageinst himself shall be given in evi
dence upon Diet rial; that tho Oovernorby and with
tho uivice rndooneent offhe Council shall appoint
c.mimissioners in each county to dnfeud fugitives,
who are In pav all w itnesses’ expenses clerk*.
Its. < fficers’ feus and other expenses, and they are
t , hate these, and itlT cliarges lor either services ns
attorney and counsel in the case, paid by the
Mute Treasurer ; on I tha act also prohibits their
jail*, prison*, or other places of confinement, from
I log used lor the imprisonment of persons churned
a - fugitive slaves. (See Sts*. Act* 1*55, page !»24.)
i | |,n act ol Wisconsin is even more stringent in
I ii* provisions for the protection of fugitive slave*
I Ilian the act of Massachusetts. i.Seo tovisod .Sta
in | *;.H, nage UI2 ) The act of Vermont declares
that no person within the State,shall ho considered
ns property,or subject its such to sale,purchase or do
livci v; that tho fugitive slave may linvo the benefit
• da trial hyj'irv—that every personwhu may have
|. on hold ae a slave,who shall come,dr be brought,
or he hi the Stale, with or without the consent of Inn
or her master ur mistress,or who shallcome, or he
brought,or he involuntarily,or in any way.in the
Slate,shall he free; and denounces against every
p.nsonwho shall hold the fugitive a* a slave, the
penalty of imprisonment for not less than one or
more than fifteen years, and a lino not exceeding
fro thousand dollars. (See Session Act ITOS.pitge
IJ ) In other . I the n >n slavolrolding Stall *, (it I |
I am not mistaken,) riuiilar legislations has been
employed to defeat thu executiun of th^ law,within
their limit*. They maintain tho doctrine of an "ir
repressible conflict." between free und slave labor,
w Inch, under their teaching, has produced its first
funis in the khcddingol Virginia blood, upon our
OWII soil. The li iend* ol this kin I of Irgistati. II,
and tho supporter* of these mi iclncvou* d .ctrines,

w hom tho great body ol tho Sort cm people Imd
no sympathy, and who . uteri,lined no principles
and dm trim s in common w ith them on these r|tn *
tioh*.
It i* readily ami cliemfnlly concede I, that a
large portion of the citi/ens el the non-shr, ahold '
iog Suites are loyal lo the Constitution and the
I in m; hut it is nut to l.e disguised, that a large

to (ear that they are not prepared to aid in putting

Idus lamentable state of things, between tlietwm ,
sections of the country, lias its origin in the con
► mo tion placed by the Northern people upon ttin
Constitution of the I nited States. They eoiistru)
it to tlm prejudice of the honor,rights and institu

I augment, therefore, that you adopt resolntio*K

| shall fail or refuse to unite in tho application, such
1 failure or refusal will furnish conclusive evi
I dome ( i a determination on their part to keep up
J tho agitation, and to continue their api;r(!.'*ftinmi
I up ti us. If the Convention nluill meet, and the
| question eannot In* satisfactorily n ljusted, it will
furnish evidence equally conclusive of thoir do
j ti rminution. In either event the people of the
I South will clearly understand what they tire to
expect ill the future.
It wi'l. doubtless, he objected to this suggestion
tlint it looks to disunion, liiunt il if you please.
Is ted the danger of disunion imminent now, and
is tine the public mind. North and South, deeply
agitated by tho apprehension that tho ilavs of the
I uiun are numbered? disunion speeches are the
order f the day in deliberative bodies, State anil
National, and the press teems with the sumo sort
ot matter, e litorial, communicated and selected.
S itithern legislatures are employed iu consider
ing best modes id protecting the honor and rights
ol their States, and nro making provisions for
I arming and disciplining the militia with side ref
erence to their protection ami defence, either in or
cut of the Union. Kvcrv man sees and fteis that
dangers are impending over us, and that disunion
is not only a possible hut a highly probable event
—and at n ■ distant day. When these things aro
surely the country can look upon disunion,
from the stand point which 1 occupy, if men
cannot calmly look upon it, at this distance, they
ought to cease the utterance of disunion senti
ments, and permit tho public mind to settle down,
preparatory to submission, on the part of the
South.
1 also suggest, that a commission, to consist of
two 't ■ nr most intelligent, discreet and experi
enced statesmen shall he appointed, whoso duty
it shall he to visit the legislatures.id those States
wl ieh have passed laws to obstruct the execution
of the Fugitive S,ave :v't, and insist, in the name
id \ irginia. upon their unconditional repeal. In
support o( the suggestion of the appointment of
a 'commission, n precedent is to he found in tho
| history i f our own Stale, m the tt|ipoint!nflit "I
the distinguished lieujamin Watkins Leigh, who
wav commissioned to visit the legislature of South
Carolina, at tho time of tfie controversy between
the State end the Kodcrnl Government. The ex
ixtence of tfie Union wh< then greatly imperilled,
and the action of Virginia exerted u mo.t happy
influence, in bringing about a settlement that
everted the danger and restored peace to the coun
try. That crisis in public affairs was almost as
serious and alarming us the present.
This controversy has now reached a p ent,
which demands a speedy settlement, if llio Union
is to he saved from dissolution. If the aggressions
to which we have been subjected for so many
years, are to bo repeated, if mutual distrust and
su'picmns are to continue, and if the election of
h sectional Republican the Presidency in l#ti(),
is to be suporadded, it is useless to attempt to
conceal tho fact, that in tho present temper tho
S iiitliern people, it cannot he and will not he sub
mitted fo. The “irrepressible conflict" doctrine
announced and advocated bv the ablest and most
distinguished leader«f the Republican party is an
open declaration of war against the institution of
African slavery, wherever it exists, and i would
bo disloyal to Virginia and the South, if 1 did not
declare, that tho election • f rdi a man, entertain*
ing such sentiments and advocating such doctrines,
ought to 1>g resisted by the slaveliolding Suites.
The idea of permitting such a man to have the
c mtr-d and direction of the Armv and Navy of
the United States, und the appointment of high
judicial and Kxocutivo officers, postmasters inclu
ded, cunriot he entertained by the South h»r a mo
ment.
I am now, and have ever been, a friend to I ho
Union nf the States. 1 appreciate its value, ar
dently desire its prtMerviitioii, mid would not rash
ly linzutd its existence. 1 have pre-onted those
views in th" earnest hope that the Northern mind
may be brought to rclleti *ii, and that the conser
vatism of that section may h»* aroused ut d stimu
