Since the commencement of the present
session of Congress, we have sent OR paper
to the members, in the hope that some OF
them would be induced to take the paper
and assist the cause of Temperance. As a
matter Of course we expected that those who
did not want the paper, would send it back
to us for discontinuance. On Saturday, how
ever, they were refused admittance into the
lower Post Office at the Capitol. Upon in
quiry, we learn, that some eight or ten mem
bers of the House directed the Postmaster
to refuse admttance to the s Columbian
Fouutain.' What right have these seven or
eight members 10 dictate what shall be done,
or what shall not be done by the Postmaster
the Capitol Is their dictum Law?

HERE THEY CoME.-ln our early num-
bers we paid our respects to the trade, reas-
oned with them, and gave them an oppor-
tunity to answer. They have neglected to
do this up to this time. But now comes
a communication over the signature OF Ba-
ley, who seems to have felt himself and his
craft aggrieved by our correspondent Lewis,
in our 10Th No. We publish his comma-
nication without any comments at present.
We suppose that Lewis will answer for him
self. If any one will take up our back num-
bers, andtry to gainsay our conclusions, he
or they will hear from us without abuse.
We wish them to be respectful, we intend to
be SO ourselves.
