I have been opiitiod for along time that the postage account - of this rieuie has been far greater than it should honeetly be. It is known to most of the old members that I made the attempt last session , to correct amabuse which. appeared to be practiced in the postofface to the injury of the State, by issuing postage. stamps to members •in violation of law, and that, too,•before the Postmaster had an oppor tunity of , becoming acquainted with the mem-;• hers. This abuse was made more glaring by his refusing to furnish the Committee on Ac counts with the number aid value of stamp's' thus issued and refusing to •qnalify to his' postage,accounts,; the Housein every instance pasi3ing.and paying , his bills. ithout requiring 'of 'him any proof of their correctness ot4er than hiemord. • " ' ' ' It will be recollected that retilled-theatteti tion of the House, a few weeks ago, by resole- , 1 tion, to the existence of a.practice of this Postmaster of charging double and treble pos tage •- n ' doennentS; ' prod ' u'cing;' et' the same time, the most undoubted proof of the fraud practiced upon the State; butrtheiliensWvoted down the resolution,„ ppm ; the, pie*** th ere) 'could he no motive, cm the 'Part :of .the Poet wag in master` thus increasing , his. bill, he being a aalarled_6ffieer.; that, the fact thus undeniably preeeiocl; inUst,be, a ,Mititake , of hie clerks, for `should'he excused; that, iso,was Man .Of dirligh 6 oo3f; and his illAkiltePiriebould • not be #uis, assailed without, showitigi 4, me- Now, Speaker, ,thia,practiee appears to, have 'ben extensively carried,mi far too ex tensively' is be a mistake,ef his clerks. We have again been furnished with : additional proof by receiving the wrappers of papers sent to members - of Congress, with .Reeortli.Ja .them, on which i poitage stamps have-been placed in his 4:Age:although such papers were. marked free by the members sending them; and also letters from those members asking howthis is,' why postage' is charged the State on their mail matter . .when every Poatmaster should know that theirletters and documents are, free. • But, Mr. Speaker, we have alsci discovered the motive: It appears, by, a reference to the Postofficeregalations, that every, Postmaster, by increasing his receipts to , a certain. mount, is entitled "to 'additioaal clerk hire. In this consieti hie motive, particularly as be his his relatives employed in his office as clerks. If this was not eo it would be an easy matter for him to agree with his clerke as to the disposi tion'of hid increased clerk hire„he, pocketing one half and the clerks the other. But, why should we not, compel him , to swear to hie ac counts like other creditors of the State? If even there should be no motive shown , nor any evidence of fraud, is it to be , supposed that he. is more pure or honest than other men? Is it that - he is above suspicion that we must allow him to step in here and dictate to us? ~Why, Mr. Speaker, the very fact of his being a bo som friend' of the old- 81.0-knave, Cameron, ought to be sufficient to fasten suspicion upon him and damn him forever in the opinion of all honest men. It ,was' the old Winnebago who secured him the, position of,Postmaster against the t wiidies of the henest Republicans of Ilarriebirg.• He kiwi that he was the man, who Woidd i become the tool' to do hie dirty work and slander and villify. the Democratic party'by calling them Copperheads and But. 7 , ternuts, while he atlhe Fame time was plun dering the State Treasury. , , - „ Now, Mr. SpettOr,XPrepotte to look into the history of 'thie,!annti-faettd Hessian, for a few years peat. , Only go back ,to 1848 and 1849.

He now ap pealed to the House, whether its papers and records were safe when accessible to a man who would commit alteration and 'forgerY, and who occupied a seateat the very elbuW of their •Clerk.?", . . . ~ Mk.

I would like to see the man now, Republican or Democrat, to rise is hisplies and justirthim. If there ism& a man, I will not deign to reply. It will be sufficient for me to know that. there are men on this floor who are willing to wink at and screen those who are detected in plun dering the public' treasury. I will leave them to reeollCilirtheir actions with their constitu ents, their- consciences ; .and , their God.. But the history, of the Republican party for the last two years Is - sufficient to prove that the' More a =min position can steal the greater the patriot he is in their eyes. Look at the number of instances in which , parties have been detected in swindling the government, and in not a single instance has one, of them been compelled to undergo the punishment their crimes deserved; but, in almost every instance, have they been. rewarded by some good appointment. Mr. Speaker, I take it to be the duty of every member on this . floor to guard well every avenue to,tiie . pubilo treasery, and not allow a single dollar, to, be , taken out unless the , one receiving it' is honestly entitled thereto.
