The Litchfield County post., 1828-06-19

the papers may be sold Tor N. as prOVIued m the Post Office law. On some publications 1t may be difficult to determine whether news paper or pamphlet postage should be charg- ed, Some newspapers are published in pam phlet form, as "Niles Register" others in the quartO form, as "the American Farmer" " Where paper is published periodically, on a large imperial sheet, in the common form of newspaper, it should be so cOnsidered.- Where the form is different, the subject mat ter must determine its character. If it con tain leading articles of intelligence, sum- mary of political news, or what is generally termed news, and IS published weekly or Of- tener, it should be called newspaper. Ad- vertisements are generally contained in news pers, though seldom, if ever. in pamphlets.
 In cases where strong doubt remains what character to give the publication, it would be well to charge the most favorable postage,un- til the decision the Postmaster general shall be obtained.
 When greater weight is franked than the law authorizes, postage should be charged for the excess. If the packet contains handbiIls, or other articles, which cannot be called news papers or pamphlets, the excess should be charged by the ounce as for letter postage But, if the excess consists of newspapers or pamphlets they should be charged as such.
 Every thing sent in the mail which does not come under the denomination of newspa- pers or pamphlets, is subject. by law, to let ter postage.
 The Postmaster General enjoins the ut most vigilance and impartiality on all Post masters, in the performance of these duties. And he hopes to witness the beneficial results of their ZealOus efforts. by the public confd- ence reposed in the safety of the mail and the fidelity of it's agents.
