BUSINESS CUT OUT FOR TIE GOVERN
MENT.

MENT.
One paper says Mr.. Woodbury. will como
beggar TO Congress in other words, exhibit
ing an empty treasury. How this is we don't
know but il is pretty certain that the treasu-
ry is some millions in debt, in the shape OF
outstanding Treasury Notes. But, notwilh-
standing this, il is advised, bankrupt as It is
pretended it is, to get in debt three hundred
millions more, and pay of the debts owed in
Europe. And this is not solitary item. Il
is warned that il is as far from settlement OF
the North Eastern Boundary question as ever,
and that there is tolerable prospect before it
Of war with Great Britain. But, neither is
this all. The murder Of Ridge and his party,
and the difficulties among the Cherokees,
whom the government has bound itself to pro-
tect, present tolerable indications Of fair
prospect of general war with the vast hordes
of Indians accumulated on the Western from
tier. Besides which, preparations are making
for another vigorous campaign against the rag,
amuflin Seminoles, which is likely to keep no
small amount of public money eusr-gliding
into the swamps Of Florida. There are, also,
some half-dozen public buildings to be COM
pleted. at great expense, the one in New York
alone costing upwards Of three millions; in
addition to which, the vast machinery of
great National Sub-Treasury, with four great
buildings for Receivers General, and other
smaller ones, is to be set in motion, if Con-
gress, as seems likely, thinks proper to sane
lion it, The Exploring Expedition, at an ex-
pense Of some five millions more, is kept up
somewhere in the neighborhood of the South
Pole ; and it is now also proposed that our
rich and enterprising government should build
a ship-canal across the lsthmus Of Darien to
which we may add proposition TO reduce the
price of public lands and the rates of postage,
and, at the same time, perhaps, increase the
number Of clerks, and raise their salaries, al
ready too high by about thirty per cent as the
times 60.
But, "the voice Of the uor popuh will have
its way," as Mr. Boone said---and there's
an end ont.

The Reformer, Van Buren, paper, adds to
this the following:

tnlS the loiloWlnS:
We have received volume Of communications,
the subject OF the reduction of postage, showing
very clearly that there is some excitement on the
subject. Our own opinion is in favor of radical
reform in the post office department, as well to bene-
fit the public, as annihiate the immense political
patronage now pertaining TO it. We therefore pub
lish the following form of petition, which more
yearly accords with our views than the above from
the correspondence of our contemporary.
To the Senate and House of Representatives. in Con-
gress assemblies
The undersigned constituency otthe city and coun-
ty of New York believing the present rates of post
age exorbitant, great impeachment TO the moral and
intellectual improvement of the people, request lSt,

to 3 cents; newspapers free.

REDUCTION OF PosTAGE.-We find the
following form for memorial on this subject
in the New York papers ofboth parties. We
have no doubt the question will be brought
up in Congress, and much needed light thrown
upon the subject by the Post Office Depart
mcnt. To ensure the attention Of Congress,
there is no mode so likely to be efectual as
petition.
To the People Of tie United States: The British
Government has set an example to this country well
worthy OF imitation. 1t is reduction OF postage.
In country where every farthing that can be
raised by taxation, direct and indirect, is wanted to
carry on the government, the postage has been re-
duced all over the kingdom to one penny tor every
letter not exceeding half an ounce ip weight The
Parliament has yielded to the wishes and petitions
of the whole people, upon reasonable proof that The
revenue would be as great by low as by high rate
OF postage. . ."..., ...
II is as important to our people as it is to the En-
gsh that there should be the cheapest possible com
munication through the mais-tor the purposes Of
business-and for The sake of humanity and virtue.
Our condition is, however, different, owing to the
great extent of the United States II, however, The
postage of England can be reduced 10 penny with.
out regard TO distance is it not probable that ours
be reduced 10 Two cents, five cents and ten cents,
according TO the distance which the mail has 10 be
carried The advantages OF such reduction are
apparent 10 every man, woman and child having
intercourse Of business or friendship out OF their
own immediate neighborhood. .,,
There is but way TO get il down, and that is to
send in petitions from all quarters Of the country
We Therefore recommend the following form OF Pc
tition:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives, in
Congress assembled
Your petitioners believe that it would be great
benefit to the people OF the United States social mo-
raj, political, and pecuniary, greatly to reduce the
hostages on letters They therefore pray that it may
be reduced, that the greatest postage on any single
letter shall not exceed ten cents.
