Gently advertised in the public papers. We;
are told that considerable opposition exists,
and that offers are, in consequence, submitted
an terms uneommonly favorable to diminu-
t;on of the post oeice expenditure. AS an IL
iustration Of this fact, an instance is pointed

applicants are on the ground prepared tn dis

Indeed, throughout we hear there is no lack
of competitors; and that the spirit OF oppOsi-
tiop runs very high. That industry and en-
terprize may meet their reward is our sincere
wish as newspaper publishers we are greatly
indebted to mail contractors for the rapid and
regular distribution of our newspapers
throughout the Union. Where the security
offered is deemed sufficient, it is said to be the
determination Of the Post Master General, in
all cases, to award contracts to the lowest bid

Tennessee Banks.-The first day of April
next is the time fixed, by the Law of the State
of Tennessee, for the resumption of Specie
payments by the Banks in that state. From
what we see in the Nashville papers, we are
led TO conclude that the time will of necessity
be extended. Whatever efforts may have
been made to reduce to its proper limit the
paper in circulation, it appears that the Bank
at Knoxville alone has been successful. The
Banks are all prepared to pay their notes to "a
certain extent, but not to redeem at once the
mass of the paper which, il is supposed, would
be at once thrown in upon them. Under these
circumstances, how would it answer to autho-
rize them to redeem enc half of their notes,
as presented, in specie, or its equivalent, and
give for the remainder new description of
notes. payable, with interest, two years after
date? By this expedient, perhaps the purpo-
SEES of the wise law of the State would be sub
stantially accomplished. Nat. Int.
Massachusetts, Election.-Mr. Bailey, a con-
fdentiaI friend of Mr.. Adams. and clerk in
the department of state, has been elected to
congress from the state of Massac husetts. OF
the character and worth of Mr. Bailey nothing
is said hut what may be deemed compliment
tary I; but we learn that he is not resident of
the state and not domiciliated in the district.
II, therefore, Mr.. Adams, while candidate
only for the presidency, can take his friend by
the hand and say to the people " Elect this
man to congress his services are necessary
for me-" what will he undertake to do ifelect-

distressed by the discovery he made that even
his august presence could not aIlay the storm
or queDch the fires that might arise at Madrid.
The audacity of the guerilla bands, too, might
have given him some alarm, and according tn
the London Morning Chronicle, he was no
longer safe at Madrid. But surmises go still
farther and at BayOnne, on the Goth July
wagers were laid that he would embark either
at Seville or CadiZ, and rejoin his wife at
Rochefort Previous to his quitting Madrid, he

o'clock in the morning. of the 28th July, and
reached Ocana, about 40 miles on the following
day. BY the departure of the Duke, the gar
rison ofthe capital is reduced to two regiments
of infantry and some gems d'armes, a regi-

Caucus nOminGfionS.-We continue our Sc
iections from country papers, from which il will
be seen, with pleasure, that the great blow
aimed by the American and the federal party
against caucus nominations, has been arrested
by the principles and good sense of the demo-
cratic party. There is one voice in this state
IN their favour, and this great bond of union
will not be severed. Much depends upon this
state in the ensuing presidential question The
other states look tn il with interest and anxiety.
Let them be satisfied on two points. The state
of.Ne,o York tciN gire her SO rotes for demo-
cratic republican offhe JesGsrson school, and the
delegates in Congress from this state will meet
their republican brethren in caucus in the good
old way, and will submit to the will of the
majority, fairly and honorably expressed thus
