to the Rotunda, in Chamber street. song was raised
that assembled up to heaven, and shoutngs spread
the land from the Kitchen Washington, TO the
granari-s Albany. Ia the simplicity of our hearts
made calculation of the savings 10 this effect.
Saving in shoe leather 6 cents per week SO 10
Do. in time, fifteen minutes per day 3 IS
Savings per year--Toal, 6 87l
This may be considered the total amount of savings
which every single establishment this part Of the CITY
can make in year, by the removal Of the Post Office
into Chamber street. Quite Flemish account truly.
Now turning the other side of the NATTER what dis
advantages presented Let us see.
Ii is fact which cannot be denied, that since the
removal of the Post Office the of stores &C. in the
district bounded by Maiden Lane, Broadw ay Pearl and
Chatham streets, have actually been advanced from 80
60 per cent the of last year. Stores and
Offices in every part of Nassau street from Maiden lane
TO Chathem, put up at the unconsonable
store that rented for $500 last year. chalked up
5000. The holy and the wcked-e saint and the sinner
the Sabbath breaking and the Sabbath keepng-have
all united in sezing upon the removal of the Post Office
good and sufficient TO advance rents 10 an
enormous price. They stretching their conscences
day and night, as if they many pieces of India
Rubber-and some of them go so far as to piece out
these conscences with long prayers, sanctmonous faces
and whole hogsheads of cant.
In every direction, also small houses and tenements
which are rented by poor working people, most
atrociously advanced beyond moderation.
Yet with all these facts staring in the face we are
called upon every day by these bloodsuckers" do help
keep the Post Office up lown'-" shall be all
ruined if it goes back 10 Wall street, all poor people
ought unite keep the Post Office where it is" Ave

Office up town-but if this remoyal-ths auspcious
removal-this happy removals. 10 become only a
reason for graspng and unfeelng londords to tax the
poor the working people-the industrious with so per
advance in their rents, say in heavens name,
let the nobility of Wall street take the Post Office back
again-put it where they please-and give us no more
such fatal lifts grind faces, and empty purses.
The truth is the removal of the Post Office is begin
ming be understood Instead Of being an advantage
the great of the people in the the city
or up town. it has only stimulated landlords TO commit
exioron, and grind the face of this poor. No body is
interested in the removal but of real owners
who would strip the honest working man of his last
blanket, TO pay up exorbIant rent When the Post
Office in Wall street. operated, it true on rents
but who paid themi The banks-the insurance
companes-he rich capitalists, and such like persons

poor the mechanic-tte industrious men are The real
sufferers by the remoral Of the Post Office. If Amos

fatal gift that presented to the working people
AS nuisance which only produces extravaganza and
exiortion.
On the subject of advance in rents have facts
