~ An effort is to be made in Botetourt to
get up instructions to JOHN II. ANDERSON. esq.
Senator Of the District, to vote against Mr..
Hives, and to sustain the Administration par
ty in the election of u. S. Senator. The
'sacred right" of making political prostitutes
OF our public men, is appealed to in this case,
with no expectation that Mr.. Anderson will
obey, but obviously with aview to drive him
from his seat. He was fairly elected. on \
full and free declaration of his sentiments, in
spite OF the opposition of those who are now
trying to get up the instructions, and they
Know well he cannot obey them, should they
be given, consistently with his views ofpub-
lie duty, or his own honor. Will the people
OF the District consent, under such circum-
stances, to set aside their regular, consti-
tutlonal action at the polls, and so far stultify
themselves as to say they did not know what
they were doing, when they preferred Mr.. Am
derson to an avowed Sub-Treasury man. then
In their choice We must see it before we
can believe it.

KEDucTioN OF PosrAeE.-Do the people
oil this country, says the Providence X. I.
Journal, intend to avail themselves of the add
vantages which have been gained by our
Transatlantic brethren in the reduction of the
rae OF postage! Such measure would, al
most more than any other, aid in that general
dissemination of knowledge and information
which should be the first aim of free Govern,
ment; Our rates might be reduced one half.
ana inc revenue would not probably be dimin-
lshed thereby. The increase in the number
OF letters would soon compensate for the re-
duction in their price. The mass of facts
that We're brought to bear upon this subject,
was deemed perfectly irresistible by the En-
gilSh government, and if our own would but
luin us attention seriously to the point, we
might witness the wonder Of project comino
from the cabinet which would prove useful to
the people, an experiment which would not
prove failure.

THE MARKETS

a. Flour has advanced in Baltimore and
Richmond, from l2i to 25 cts barrel on the
prices quoted last week. Sales were made in
Baltimore at Sc % from the wagons.-The
Store price was from Sc 81 to Sc 5O.-In
Richmond, last quotation, Sc so.
Porh-A letter i'll the Lynchburg Vireinian
from kanawha Oh. dated the 9TH, states that
about ten thousand Hogs had passed that
place, and that it was the opinion of the dro-
vers there would not be more than twenty
thousand in all driven by that route this sea-
son. Sales to the amount of $50 hors had
been made at the Salt works at Sc.
Another letter in the same paper from IA
nawha dated the 10th, says that sales have
been made at that place since for SIS. and the
price is expected to beeven lower. Pork can be
bought at Chilicothe for So. About %. 600
hogs had already passed Charleston, and
more were known to be on the road. Some
droves had been stopped, in consequence of
the snow In the mountains, and the owners
appeared anxious to sell at So.
The Baltimore American of Saturday save
that live Hogs have been plenty in that mar
kef-but no sales We're made to any extent,
purchasers being unwilling to pay the prices
asked. The larger part of those offered had
been slaughtered by the drovers. Country
pork brought in wagons was taken at So so.
Sales of pork are making in Staunton at
from Sc to So so.

az Relative to shipments of Flour to Eu-
rope as means of remittance under the pre-
sent fair price it commands there, the New
DIX Express says For the last month the
shipments of Flour to England have been We
ry large, and now they are continued to
france. 10 such an extent have these ship
ments been made, that not only has the rate
OF exchange been carried down to per
cent, but Bills are quite unsaIeable. Add to
this we are now at the commencement Of orr

bring England in debt to US more and more. )"

MAssAcHusETTs.-The Boston Atlas of
wednesday gives complete returns of the
votes Tor Governor, with comparison of its
table with that prepared by the Morning Post
After noticing the points of agreement and
difference, with the reasons for such differ
ence, the Atlas re-affirms the correctness of
its estimate, and states, most positively, the
opinion that there is no choice of Governor bv
the people. 1t makes out majority for Nor
TON of 245, and gives 235 as the number of
scattering votes already heard of in forty
towns. MIR. Morton is an avowed Adolf
ZIONIST, and the Aboltionists went for him in
body. This, with the dissatisfaction against
the five gallon law, fully accounts for the in
creased vote of his party, which is more than
eight thousand above that of last year. 1t is
said the License law will either be repealed
or modified at the coming session ofthe Leg
islature.
