VIZ. Editor-Being one of those persons who
attended the called meeting of the citizens,
heads of families not attached to uniform COM
panies," and bearing the object of that meeting
stated, Viii, by your permission, Offer you a
few remarks on the subject.
III recolect right, it was stated that the oo-
iect of the meeting was to form City Patrol OF
citizens not attached to uniformed companies, to
assist the volunteer companies in guarding our
lives and property from the midnight assassin and
incendiary. The object IS certainly laudable
one; but where is the necessity OF forming more
companies, when those that we now have are am
ply sufficient? Every white able bodied citizen
over the are of Is and under 45 is compelled by
law to bear arms, consequently to perform MS
tour of duty in patrol when called upon or else De
fined. What we most want at this time, IS that
our regiment should be fully Differed, armed and
equipped. We want Colonel aud Lieutenant
Colonies; each Of the militia companies want
l.. and 2nd Lieutenant, Sergeants and Cor
morals: these offices are all vacant, let them be
filled immediately. Arms can be obtained the

should be returned, and new ones shall be given
out. The Colonel Of the regiment will give his
bond for them. the Captains will give their bond'
for as many as they want and take the bonds
of their men. In this way the regiment may be
nut in order in less than week. Ammunition
can be had IN abundance, BY only asking tor 1t at
the Department. Letns therefore, call upon the
commanding officer of the regiment; rouse him
TO action, and VIC will be in a situation to meet
any emergency. Let our artillery company be
organized. The government has promised US guns,
and are oaly Whiting for US to call for them.
W.
rye can answer for the zeal activity and promp'
ttude of the commanding officer, who has taken
all proper and necessary steps IN relation to this
matter--Ed. GaS

Afr. Edifor-I have heard several persons en-
ouire lately, whether the Postmaster General has
the power Of preventing the transmission to ne
eroes. through his Department, Of letters and
napers calculated to excite them to insurrection.
Perhaps he has no such power BY the laws tor
the establishment and regulation of the Post office
departments" but though it may be improper to
entrst him with it in general terms, would 1t not
be iustifiable and expedieut for Congress to au'
.horize Postmasters lin the slave states at east)
20 examine all letters and papers directed 10 ne
oro,s before their delivery? The numerous plots
,,h;ch they have at different times formed for the
destruction of the whites, as we'll as the recent
murders in Virginia, furnish, think, abundant
,.,soo for the adoption of such a regulation, and
it may be very easily enforced. We could not
thereby, it !. true, prevent all COMMUNICATIONS
for such purposes among them; but 1t would, ne
xer,heless, have the effect of lessening the eS-
tent of their plots, and of preventing in great
measure. the circulation among them OF such In
famous publications as the Liberator.
Possibly, the occasion may justify the Postmas'
for General in directing the Postmaster at Bos'
tom not to mail that paper, as it is evidently CAL
eulated to STIR up the negroes to rebellion and
to endanger the peace, ard even the ives OF the
citizens Of the Southern States. "

.9ppeal to the Friends Of Mr.. Clay throughout
rT fbe Union.

The recent election in the State Of Kentucky,
seems to have created very singular and errone-
GUS o Impressions among some of Mr.. Clay's own
friends, here and elsewhere. These impressions
have been produced principally by causes oPerat-
inc upon the public mind previous to that cleo,
,;en to.wit: The fictitious impoi lance attached
to its result. and the indscreet and unauthorized
statements or admissions OF certain members OF
ON, own marty. We cannot see, $50 far as the cleo
t;on of Mr.. Clay is cOncerned,) why more I'M
portance should be attached to the State OF Ken,
tucky, than to any other State giving the same
Number ofelectors. Mr.. Clay is not, nor has he
been authoritatively announced, peculiarly as the
candidate of Kentucky-but as the candidate OF
the National Republican party throughout the
TSION. He has been nominated by the Peo-
Me n almost every city and village of the Whole
nation, aud is therefore most emPhat'oai,y the
Candidate Of the PEOPLE of the United States,
not those of Kentucky alone. IL IS therefore Sse
a right to withdraw him from the canvass, even ven
shoSd such a suicidal measure be contemplated
