world, and the depression of state and
company stocks, find themselves laboring
under embarrassments and difficulties,
which the aid Of General Government, ap-
Piled In the way proposed, would ~cfectu-
ally remove, and at the same time secure
to the United States the advantages and
the ample equivalent of Transporting the
mail upon these roads.
The credit Of the United States to nm
amount not greater than the sum necessa-
ry to produce, ut five per cent. interest,
the amount paid by the Post Office De-.
partmcnt 10 these companies annually,
would, have 10 doubt, be sufficient to
accomplish this desirable end. The prompt
and favorable az tioa of Congress upon this
SUBJECT at the p ese 1t time wonld effcctu-
ally secure the Government against the
danger OF being called upon for occasional
and large appropriations to meet the bal-
ances due by the Department"
The Postmaster General adds, that, if
the Government was required TO pay post
age on Its official correspondence and tho
ranking privilege abolished or reduced
within proper limits, the revenue of the
Department itself would be sufficient to
pay the interest ofdebt, incurred by tho
proposed arrangement, and liquidate the
principal in less than thirty years.
Some embarrassmcnts have occurred to
the free transmit of the mail upon that
part Of the Cumberland road which lies in
Virginia, in consequence of the authorities
of that State imposing a tax upon tho
coaches transporting the mail, contrary to
the act of Congress ceding that road to
the states through which it passes, 10 which
the attention of the National Legislature
is called.
The report refers to a number Of docu-
ments for more particular information,
which have not yet been published.

MIR. ArFLEck.-We find the following
notice of our friend Afieck, the editor of
the Western Farmer & Gardener in the
the N. Y. Cultivator, being an extract from
that celebrated farmer and stock-breeder,
A. B. Allen, of Buffalo, who last spring
visited Cincinnati.
"From Mr.. Afeck, CT the Farmer and

is a capital warm-hearted fellow, and after
attending agricultural lectures, under Pro-
fessor Low, of Ediaburg, came over here,
and has p~realnbulated much of the Union,
and especially that part of the great South
and West stretching from New Orleans
| up the waters Of the Mississippi Missouri,
and their tributaries, making himself par
ticularly acquainted with the cultivation
of the various products OF this extensive
region. He is also an excellent Judge of

London, is in the same interest, and Mr. Adams'
who is at the head of the Committee, IN ,tne
House of Representatives, on Foreign Attalrs, is
fthe same school and family; British trio!
Mr. Webster, throughout his whole llle has
exhibited as much attachment and devotion 10
England, as ever Lord Wellington did. lie en-,
tered Congress during the late war and opposed
it with 50 other Federalists during his whole OF,
fetal career. The British army was in the held
against us, while Mr.. Webster was in Congress
giving the same British enemy his aid and votes.
iIe was one or the same corps and party, that
did more for the English in the late war, than one
half OF her armies and fleets, that infested our
shores Was he not one OF the same party with
Gov Strong of Massachusetts, who refused TO
let the militia OF that State 60 out ofihe State TO
fight the enemy! Washe nol ono OF the same
party that met in convention At Hartford 10 DIS
member the Union! and was he not one oi the
same party that raised the blue lights around the
Federal shores OF New England, 10 show the
enemy how to land!
| Each and every one of the same party must
| be accountable for the acts OF the whole party.
Ii Mr.. Webster disapprovedof the course OF his
party, why did he not come out from among
them, and leave them! His remaining with them
and knowing their acts and intentions, Is the
strongest evidence that he approved of their
course. Some raised blue Lights, while others
voted in Congress against the war III every par
ticular, and some were in active operations III
the Hartford Convention to disember the Union,
while others, as above stated, were in Congress
speaking against and voting against the war- war:---
All were OF the same party and OF tn" same
stock in politics.
For these statements, we have the Journals OF
The House OF Representatives, and we have also
living witnesses OF facts we state. Ii it became
necessary to prove facts, we would call on, Mr..
Gales and his paper to sustain these charges.
