For single penny the Eagiish merchants may nor
send a iehsr 10 any part Of the Rmgdom--while in
this country we are taxed with postage of 25 cts
single letter. to almost every ofthe great points
of the Union. Newspapers ought TO go free within
the States where published-ou of the State the pos
tage should remain--and letter postage should be
reduced at least one-half. This would e.ye a rev.
sufficient to pay the transportation of the mails
under an economical administration of affairs. The
salaries of pos,masters should be curailed in all the
large cities there is no reason why these men shod
receive a handsome salary and prequises beside
amounting to princey income. All these things
should be reformed in this reforming age There
is need enough of economy in all the great depart
ments of the Government, and il may well begin
here elsewhere. The heavy hostages now im-
posed upon letters and newspapers is tax not only
ligh, from the people. Let the system be overhaul
ed, then, and eflectual reform be brought about al
the very next session of Congress.-N Y. Wing.

Come out, come out gentlemen: acknowI-

claim his votes as Van Buren, votes. This
