" Mr. I'refi tent. ",R ':,w requires tint nr contract h U be m ule for the t runsporfation of th to il without first advorli.-ing it; &that no additional allowance shall be made ii bout add il ional fcivice coininen snrute thereto; ami that the Postm aster General shall report such att it ionril servicnnnd extra compensal inn to the Coinp'rolW nf the Treasury within thirty flays after the same shall he made. It would seem, therefore, that if the law hail Wen observed by the Postmaster General, there would have been no diffi. ultv in procuring tho necessary lfta for the calculation. Put this not haying been done in all thine!5. 3 deficiency was supplied by substituting the answer made hy the Postmaster General

on the 3 I of March, 1G3 1, to a special call of the Senate; which answer professes to give "all the allowances made heyond the sums stipulated in the original contracts, since the 1st of Apiil 1829, and to specify in each case the service to he performed hy the original contract, and the enms to he. paid thereon, and the nature and ex'ent of each facility or improvement, and the sums to be paid therefor." Nw, it is evident, if all these Le given tiuly, the data necessary for the calculati m was at once in the hands of the man to whom your committee confided their pa per.

Hut the honorable Senator gay?, it is

not so that thcie is still a very large amount of compensation and transportation behind the curtain, which is to be had by groping among tha fi!e9 of the Depart

ment, and that the whole difference of

7.000,000 miles is thus accounted for. Now, is this possible? I it to be credit eil that there has been, and is habitually, in that Department such a total disregard of all legal instruction, as ibis defence would indicate? Manifold and multiform as were she cases stamped with this charnctet, which came under out observation, this would prove that we had not discovered or noted the twentieth of the tithe of those which exist in this single group The contracts, then, are let habitually let on different term;, and for different service? than they aie advertised J Why is this, and where the wariant in law ? Vv'hy is the advertisement fr contracts requited by law? Is it to inform the public of the true tet vice to be rendered, wild to which compel ition is invited, ur is it to conceal it from them, that it may be made known by a pi iv.i'.e hote, or in a pri vale whisper, to a favorite corps? And then the annual statement of contracts, si rid the special statement of extra service and extra allowance, what are they lor? To iif nn the public us to the ainount of service and compensation? I know not w hich is deserving of the heaviest censure, the grand misrepresentation which is thus attempted to be bolstered up, or the succession of misrepresentations of which the honorable chairman aci uses the Department for the purpose of xoneraling them fiom that ti r ?t and wholesale misstatement. If the department have heretofore told the truth, then is the estimate of Phtneas Ikadley light; smd it dors not well become the snppoi ters f the Department now to allege the falsehood of its former allegation, in or'er to prove the incot ter t nes9 of his. Let them obtain credit wheie they may lor tlsis, I can give them none. The act jj a gross breach of law and of official veracity. A fixed and habitual rule of action; misi'Ppiesenlatiou and deception on n grand scale, and a general system coo ftantly acted upon; and nc-w that it is exposed, beyond controversy or contest, it is openly avowed, and even defended upon Ihisllior nay , brought forward and as sorted as a fixed rule of action, and one

that is to wipe away what i considered,

by gentlemen here, as a louder blot.

Why, Mr. Presideut, suppose the custom

We hero, on this floor, agree that the Postmaster General has borrowed large Mims of money on the credit of the Uni ted States, for the use of the Depart moni- nmi we nerreo that the act was a

violation of the Constitution; but yet you may seek, and seek in vain, in the papei which the minority of the Committee have presented here, anil which we send

abroad to the world, as the exponent of

their opinion, and the opinion of the pirtv in power you may search in vain in that paper, for one word of censure on this unwarranted and unconstitutional act. Sir, I complain of this: f complain of it, and I deplore it. Our words upon this floor are hut passing breath: they are heard, perchance read, 5c. then laid aside as things of the day, and forgotten; but the more solemn opinions of your com

mittees, charged with grave and important duties, are placed among your ar

chives, ami preserved in perpetual re-

carried at all, or if they were, that they did not reach their place nf destination in the regular course of mail. Hut this general cry, for the more rapid conveyance of newspapers, was probably never t,.,r,i i. ,.ni excent the officer in

the Department who made out this report,

and presented it to-the Postmaster Gene ral for hij signatnre. Dut to the point

No service is alleged, even here, that is

not required by the contract; and it will he recollected that this is a route which was lid off at C,2u0 dollais and was rais ed, by cxtias, first to 27,000 dollars, and then this 10,000 dollars was added for hardships encountered, and not for in creased service tendered. The stoty in this repott is disprove) by the testimony of Preside. It is elated

here, that the quantity of papers was so great as nearly to exclude passengers on

the rapid line. Lhil Ueeside says, me inconvenience occurred hut three days out of the seven, and then they could

have to get the money out of the pocket? of the people to do it with. This is plaguy hard; for the rats nre no use at all to the" people ; although they are

ever so well fatted, nobody wants to eai them, and make, what use you will of 'em, the upshot of the matter is, they cost a great deal more than they come to. Toshowyu one instance how these folks in the Kitchen have been cheating.

all along, you will remember that they told the last Congress that the Post Office

had money enough in buy all the victuals they needed, and bad considerable spaie

change besides. Now the Committee has

found out bv overhauling the books, that at the time they told this story to Con

gress they owed several hundred thousand

dollars. I think there ought to be a genera I rat
