If tediousness of action be any proof wisdon, the people of th United States have cause to con gratulate themselves on being, par excellence, a wise set of leg For months past have the halls of the Capitol resounded with burning elo- quence—with wit and with bathos—but the rnsult, as far as the business of the country is concerned, has been but small, In fuct, scarcely a single mea- sure of importance has been passed. It is to be hoped that, now the Mexican war is over, the his- tory of the annexation of Texas talked thread-bare, and the Secretary of the Treasury’s report picked to atoms, that some time will be devoted to such commonplace affairs as remain. That the House of Representatives intend to go ahead we have al- ready evidence, since the conventions haye been disposed of, A resolution was passed, some time since, to meet at 11 A. M., instead of as before at 12. This worked very. well, but some membe more industriousthan theirfellows, moved to meet at vstill earlier hour—10 o'clock. This was also carried, when the discovery was made that by ting thus early they got ahead of the commii- who had no time to deliberate left, and the slators, equence has been a return to the old hour of H. All these discussions have consumed some days, but they have conclusively shown that the Representatives are anxious to give value for their gs. Inthe te things drag ona pace. little w ‘The most impor the introduction of the following bill, with a view the reduction of letter and other postage, by Mr. Mile: f “Anact to reduce the rates of postage —Seo, 1.—Be it, &e., That from and after the first day of July, 1849. the postage of letters shall be as follows :— All letters not exceeding half an ounce in weight, conveyed any distance in the United Stutes shail be charged with thive cents postage, ond a like sum for every addi- tional once or fractional part thereof4the postage being pre-paid; and if not so pre-paid then the postage sha be five cents foreach letter weighing not more than half an once, and a like sum for every #ditional half ounce or fractionul part the and all drop letters or letters to be detained at the office where deposited shall be charged with one cent postage to be pre-pai and two cents if not pre-paid. acted, That it shall be Sec. 2—And be it further ¢ tha duty of the Postmaster General, ut all post offices where the postage amounts to —————. thousand dol- lars Annually, to provide for convey rs to the post office, by establishing suitable and convenient places of deposit, and by employing carriers to receiv and deposit them in the post office free of ¢| and at all such offices it shall also be his duty to e: lettors to be delivered by suitable carriers’ to be ap- pointed by him for that purpose, for which not exceed- ing one cent for each letter shall be charged, and on advertized letters there shall bean additional charge not exceeding one cent See. 3. And be it further enacted, that from and after the period aforesaid, the postagé on newspapers and other printed matter, shall bo as follows :—All newspapers pamphlets, magazines, and books, whether periodicals or not » papers excepted), not ex- ceeding one ounce in weight, shall pay one cent post- age, and a like sum for every additional ounce or frac- tional purt thoreof, Provided that all newspapers, not exceeding one ounce in weight. and not conveyed more than 50 miles, shall be charged with one-half cent post- age only; and on all papers not sent from the offices of publication, the postage must be pre-paid ; and all handbills and circulars shall be charged as letters and subject to letter postare.”” The success of a reduction of postage is no long- er a matter of doubt. In England the penny post system has eminently su and in this country the reduced rates of the last two years have not been less successful. The increase of in- come to the United States Post Office Department for that period, has been something like 120 per cent; and it is calculated that the reduction con- templated in the b@l just introduced can be safely made with a certainty of even then having a sur- plus. As to the portion of the bill having reference papers, the principle is good ; that of regu- lating the postage by weight. But whether too lit- ight is allowed for an avepage sized paper, say the size of the Heraed, we cannot say. ‘The immense sheets which are, published, containing reely anything but advertisements, ought to pay proportion to their size. If the majority of them paid merely in proportion to their usefulness or the amount of news they contain, the rate would be Omrea. Wasitineron, June 22, 1848, The Mexican Treaty—The Senate. Lieutenant Gardner is expected to arrive here this evening, or to-morrow, with the ratified treaty of peace betwee 1 this country and Mexico. It will be immediately published by authority, and the people of the United States will have the satis- faction of reading over, on Saturday or Sunday next, what they read three months ago in the Herald. All this is very stupid and very silly. The Senate should abandon the attempt to work in secret. It is impracticable. Everything of in- terest will be divulged to the people, if the body were to erect brazen doors to their chamber, de- liberate in whispers, and enact peral laws against the press without number. ‘The American people do not send their servants here, and pay thé libe- rally, in order that they may play the master, Senators seem to regard their term of office as one lengthened saturnalia, during which they have license to play all manner of antics, and to treat the people as slaves. The impudence of attempt- ing to keep from the people until now, the treaty ratified three months ago, 1s really amnsing. It is ume that an order that pretends to the high pre- rogative of keeping the people of the United States in dire suspense on a subject in which the nattonal welfare was so. deeply involved, were stripped of its mask. If this were done, the people would soon learn to look with seorn on what they nm gaze upon at a distance with a_ sort of pious awe. Tuey would find that for one man who enters that body :n order to promote the welfare of his country, or even from the prompting of honorable ambition, there are men who ere in by sordid means, for the most sordid purposes. Itis not my wish to bring the senate in contempt with the “people ;—there are still, thank God, among its members, nen brave and pure, and hon- orable—such men as Mr. Foote, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Butler--but they are entirely over- dowed by the and ‘prurient growth of noxious weeds, that rise up among and around them. Who does not know, that to the smallest attaché of the most inconsiderable legation near this government, the senate is a_ subject of ridicule with its chairman of the committee on For- eign Relations? and is there a banker’s clerk in Wall street who could not give a clearer exposition of the financial condition of the government than the chairman of the committee on finances? To everybody having a stake in the public weal, it should be a matter of deep anxiety to see the senate worthy of so great a nation—to see the small politicians who at present infest the chamber, suc- ceeded by men of honesty and ability—to see the sordid money-changers cast out of the nation’s islati nple; and those invested with senato« inetions, who do not require the adventit aid of secresy to maintain their proper digni- Let young men be sent to the national coun- Those who have spent their youth in profli- gacy and their manhood in sordid schemes of aggvandizement. should not be permitted in th old age to infect the legislation of try§ with the moral leprosy of their lives, or stamp it with servile imbecility. Instead of load- ing the statute book with odious penalties against the press—penalties which never ean be inflicted— let the senate throw open its doors on all occasions except such 2s obviously demand secret delibera- tion; and further, let it discountenance the discre- ditable habits that have crept m among its mem- bers. All the penal enactments that the counsel of the senate can frame, will not make people re- spect the body so long as it has such members as at present disgrace la several democratic States the whigs have united with a few disre table democrats, to send to the senate the most obnoxious man in the democratic ranks. For party purposes to thrust upon the senate such men as Hannegan, ‘Tumey, Cameron, and others of that stamp, and who owe their election to such ex- pedients, is a baseness deserving the execration of the whole country. In regard to this Mexican treaty, the senate jays a most ridiculous part before the people. In te or two it will probably go through the so- lemn foolery of publishing the document, as if for the first time, and the two superann d journals in this city will, with much pomp and eireum- stance, introduce to the public aper which it has known for months. It. was | able to hear Mr. Goggin, yesterday, in the House, declare that that body had no. official knowledge of the terms ot the treaty, and therefore that its legislation in regard to Texas was to be based on an absence of all information as to the boundary of that State as established by the treaty with Mexico. Was ever anything more absurd? A most infamous imputation on the northern and southern press, appears in the President's or- gan of this morning. A communication from the post affice department alleges that the paragraphs in the northern and southern papers, in relation to the stupid squabble between the Richmond Rail- road Company and the Postmaster General, “are probably prepared and paid for by those interested in the railroads.” The insolence with which the Postmaster General, and his hired claguers, have braved the public scorn, by attempting to screen that functionary from the indignation which his \ r of the coun- it ph ngement of the yale alelted fram the press and the commercial coramunity, alt over the countty, Was sufisiently dig oatinay b suggestive of other emotions besides disgust, to see the whole press of the north, and of the south, ar- raigned as venal b) the organ of the b, out regard to party resident, simply because it has spoken out independent. ly on the groves incapacity of the present head of the department. ‘The press speaks its sentim: freely, and the mouth-piece of Mr. Polk denowaces itas vile and venal. Truly, it is time this admin- istration were at an end. When to grovelling meanness it adds the empty insolence of offices it becomes insufferable. 11 1s notorious that every mendacious puff of the department is paid for in public patronage. GALVIENSIS. Barrrore, June 23, 1848, National Division of the Sons of Temperance— Letter from Pluladelphia Convention—Theatricals, §c. The National Division of the Sons of Temper- ance are still in session in this city, having much important business before them. They yesterday passed a resolution to hold their next annual meet- ing in the city of Cincinnati, on the 3 Tuesday in May, 18 Several letters were received in Baltimore yes- terday, from the Hon. Henry Clay, of a strictly private character, the contents of which have, however, partially leaked out. I learn that he de_ clares his intention of supporting General Taylor, pporting Tay as the most preferable candidate in nomination for the presidency ; but he considers the Philadelphia convention as having acted contrary to all pree denty and as having virtually dissolved the whis party, by nominating a candidate who had so re- peatedly declared his intention to accept no nomina- tion asa party candidate. For General ‘Taylor he expresses the most friendly feelings, and eon- siders his position a most consistent one, but that the inconsistency is entirely with the Philadelpl convention, As to himself he has no griefs at the course the convention thought proper to pursue. ‘The attractions, of private life are more in con- sonance with his feelings, than to again enter the arena of political strife and acrimony. He ex- presses his belief, however, that General Taylor will be elected by an overwhelming majority, and that he is opposed to the present party in power, but that his election cannot be regarned as a whig victory. _ Our theatrical establishments are all endeavor- ing to surpass each other in their efforts to degrade the drama, and drive the respectable portion of the community from among their audience. Even the Howard Athenaeum, which promised better things; has gotten up a foolish ex inza called * Don Giovani in Baltimore,” the Front Street has brought out a second edition of “* Glance at Balti- more,” called the “Jakey’s Wedding,” and the Museum, has added to its foolish attracuons under the title of the “ Marriage of Sykesy,” interspersed with the dances, games, Wc., of the party of strol- ling Indians. They are all thinning on empty benches. Pumapeteuta, June 22, 1848. Death by Burning—Pardon by the Governor— Movements of Generals Quitman, Cadwalader, Se.

Wasurxorox, June 22, 1848, THe GREAT OPENING CAMPAIGN DEBATE IN THE UNITED STATES SERATE. ‘There was a variety of miscellaneous business in the Senate this morning, including, among othve things, a resolution to meet hereafter at 11 o’elock in the morn- ing, instead of 12; a proposition which looks like going to work. ADJOURNMENT OF THE SESSION. Mr. Arentsow called up the resolution from the House, proposing to adjourn the present session of Con- son the 17th of July coming Mr. Baporr moved toamend by adding to the words “to mevt again on the — Monday of ——, and that all the unfinished business of the present session may then be resumed,” &c.,the object of Mr. Badger being to bring on all business undisposed of at the adjournment, to begin at the point where it was loft off, 80 a3 to save the trouble of travelling through the same processes upon the same bills Mr. Haxsncan moved to fix the day of meeting again at the second Monday in October next Mr. Bancen.—Second Monday in November, Mr. Butirn.—Does the Senator say November? Mr. Arcutsox.—I would say the third Monday in Oc- tober. I think that would bélate enough. Ho wa posed to putting off the next session until the second ionday in November. Mr. Hayvnoan.—Yes, we might as well make it the ‘first Monday in December Mr. Arenson called th attention of Senators to the fact Unat the e ion, when they would adjourn on the 4th March. ‘fo get the public business done that will come before it, it will be neces- sary to meet in October, and he did not know that the third Monday would be soon enough, MR. CALHOUN OPENS*IIE WAY, Mr. Catnoun—I am satisfied that more business can be done now in one month henceforward, than in two months after the adjournment oyerto October, [t las hoon the practice of this body never to permit its bu go over to the next session. If is eminently unp: ntary todo so, If weadjourn now, we adjour! y for one entire year; furat the next short session the administration going out and the new administration coming in, nothing to any extent can be done. ‘The best plan is to work up the business be- fore us, as we can do that, say by the 10th of August [am willing to come upearly and to sit late, in order to finish our work. After the close of the present ses- sion, it will be vain to expect any business can be done for one year, | am anxious to go home as any man. Our harvest’ months in the South (cotton, corn, &e.,) are Gctober and November. It is the season of the year. too, when our annual sickness comes on, and it is im- portant that we should be home with our families. For w present, | would suggest to lay the resolution on the table, and to wait until we can take it up and act upon it Mr. Bennin thought the Senate, out of respect to the House. ought to act upon the resolution at once, ile was in favor of the proposed recess till the second Monday in November, and did not think the interven- tion of the Presidential election would interfere to the active resumption of business, when Congress should in come together, Mr, Arcuison argued in favor of a recess of two or three months. The two houses would be composed of the same members, so that there would be no difficulty in the resumption of business continued over. As for the withdrawal of the members feom the Presidential mpaign, there need be no objection on that sore because the two parties were so nearly equalized that no advantage would be withdrawn from either by hay- ing Congress at Washington pending the last month of the Presidential campaign. Mr. Crayton was in favor of shortening the lo sion, and lengthening the short one, and he was favor of beginning that arrangement now, Mr. Burten said that the public business required either that Congress should extend the present session or of anticipating the next one by a month or two He would prefer that the recess should be during the months of October and November ; for, as wax all by his colleague, they were the months in which it was most important for Southern gentlemen to be home Bat he was not disposed to adjourn so soon as the mid- dle of July. The indispensable business of the session could not be done by that time, There were import- ant questions here to be settled. They closely affected tho Presidential election, and he had no idea of going ito this election in the dark, He desired to know the opinions of the two great parties upon certain great questions which are now before Congress; and the people of South Carolina desired some understanding upon these questions. Mr. Aruenvon (Chairman on Finance) appealed that the middle of July would be too soon to adjourn ‘The Navy Bill had just passed the House, and the Army and Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bills wore yet to be acted upon by both Houses, Ad for the heat of the summer, he could show that the suinmer season in Washington was more conducive to the health of mombers than a winter session. Tho bills of mortality would show this to be the fact. He thought the resolution ought to be withheld, and that the ear- liest day of adjournment could not be before the last of July. Mr. Biiatt ropoxed to call up the special order (the Oregon Bill) but would first move to change the day of adjournment to the Sist of July. Mit. FOOTE OPENS THE CAMPAIGN —WAKE UP.

Is he aware of the fact Chat their Presitent declared their object to be the “ spoils??? and that there were ae bold enough to sustain one solitary principle?

Why were not these questions discuvsed in the whig convention? Why were not its opinions divulged to the world? Why could they not have the happl- ness of meeting ou some platform? ‘There is something mysterious in all this. There was no want of courage in the convention in ordinary cases, What, then, isthe difficulty? Can any one tell?

Is their candidate in fwvor of the acquisition of territory? Are they prepared to sustain this mea- sure? Nowis the time to decide it. If the Senator cannot do it, others will not be willing to meet it. The whole Philadelphia convention were afraid to meet it, They met, as in the cave of Erebus, and they leave us all in darkness. We, who go before the coun- try with our principles, have aright to demand of this party, what are your principles? What are the prin- iples of your candidate? Every patriot in the land hasa right to know it; and from Maine to Georgia. the public curiosity is awake; and it is due to the public that these mysteries should be solved. Mr. Maneum said the charge that the whig side of the chamber were in favor of an early adjournment of Congress because they wished to evade certain great political questions, could not be sustained. It was democratic Senator that moved to take up the resolu- tion to-day. The Senator says the Philadelphia con- vention was made up of abolitionists, annexation men, and anti-annexation men, blue-light federalists, &e.: but was not the Bultimore convention made up of the ring-streaked, epeckled, and striped also? Mr. Foorr—Yes, but they dared, asa band of bro- thers, to show their hands to the country, NOISE AT CLEVELAND. Mr. Maxcun contended that nobody eould doubt the doctrines of the whig party. Old Rough and Ready was a whig; and his name was such that (t was melting even the abolitionists of the frozen North ‘The ides of November would satisfy the Senator of the popular estimate of Gen, Taylor's principles. We have a bold and formidable party to contend with—a bold candidate. He is bold in the expression of his views. He was particularly bold at Cleveland, only there was so much noise,—(general laughter) —there was so much noise that he could not be heard. Mr. Hanwecan—He lost his voice in defending his country against the British. Mr. Manauat had the highest respect for his distin- guished friend. He contended that the whigs had no a of disguising their principles. Nor was the only trouble in the whig convention. There was some diffi- culty about the Empire State at the Baltimore conven- tion; and this very day (the Utica affair) is big with the fate, not of “Cesar and of Rome,’’ but of this progressive democracy. Nor was the diffi- pulty alone in New York; and he referred to the late peech of Mr. Yancey, in Charleston, against the nomi- ation of Gon. Casa, as showing that the democratic platform amounted to nothing. As for the whigs, it was irue they took their candidate pretty much on trust, but he was a whig. Mr. Haxyecan—But not an ultra whig.
