MORE FETTERs LoosENING.

We extract the following from the Jefferson
Inquirer, the especial organ of Locofocoism in
Missouri, in order to show our friends what effect
Whig organization has upon the sensitive nerves
Of our opponents:
Our old adversaries, the Clay Wings, are in
full motion. They are holding their conventions
in every district, and appointing Delegates to
their Baltimore Convention, and instructing them
to vote for Henry Clay! They are forming their
CLAY CLUBs-their central committees, and their
committees of vigilance, and their electors,
charged with the duty Of canvassing every coun-
ty, are rallying their clans to the battle field ;
and shall we remain idle? Shall the Democra-
has ever remained firm amid all the changes and
mutations Of parties elsewhere, now surrender to
Wing discipline? sDe ,oo,lld not, let us put
on the whole armor of faith, and march boldly
to the work" ia
Yes, MIR. Inquirer, you ,uiA " have to put on
your whole armor of faith, and march boldly to
the work." to enable you to stand up under the
assaults of the friends Of good government; and,
perhaps, even in heretofore benighted Missouri,
that panoply may not avail you; the sharp ac-
tive fire Of the Wing g clans" may pierce it, as
we trust it will, at every pore, and leave the In
quirer's g Democracy" trailing in the dust"
Up Wigs, and at them" Courage, Wings
of Missouri, courage! Leave nothing undone
which may be honorably executed, and when the
day Of battle shall arrive, although victory may
not crown your efforts, you will have the proud
consciousness Of having nobly performed your
duty.

SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 90, ls4a.
roo BAD.

The sun went to bed on Thursday night, and
got up again yesterday morning, and no more
stopped on account of Mr.. Wise's declaring that
he should leave the South in the hands Of Pro-
Uidence, than if he had made no such astounding
declaration. We ourselves saw few stars
peep out through the clouds on the same eve-
nng and they twinkled their bright little eyes as
cunningly as any little roguish lassie, who has
found out secret, and wishes to. let you know
it. We thought they were laughing in their
sleeves at the mock heroic scene, and at the idea
that old SOL should not even have stopped to say,
"what's the matter there :" as he went along
by the Capitol.

REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.

AS there appears to be deep and general in
terest in favor Of reducing postage, it may be
well to hear what Mr. Kendall said upon that
subject in his report to the President under date
of December 5, 1886, and we will let him tell
his own story. He says: " 1t is expected tha,
the Department will have surplus of cash in
bank before the lst of August next exceeding
$7OO,OOO.
:" In view Of these facts and estimates, the un-
dersigned does not hesitate to recommend re-
vision of the present rates Of postage, to take
effect on the 1st Of July next, with view to the
reduction Of about t,centy per cent To this end,
he suggests the following scale Of letter postage
in lieu of the present, viz:
rs miles and under s cents
$50 over rs 10
300 $50 Is
coo 800 20 g
Over 600 miles 25
No better plan than the present suggests
itself in relation to charges of double, triple, and
quadruple postage, and postage by weight.
From its simplicity, this scale will be easily
remembered. 1t proposes to introduce the fed
eral currency, renders copper coins unnecessary
in making change, and saves the loss to the peo-
pie arising from fractions. 1t will reduce the
labor now required in making up and examining
postmasters' accounts about one-fourth"
The plan suggested by Mr.. Kendall would
doubtless have been highly beneficial to the
public generally, and, in all probability, would
certainly would not have diminished it. We be-
lieve that we can hereafter demonstrate to every
impartial reader that its adoption would have
been eminently useful in fiscal point of view,
and prevent the bankruptcy of the Department
which soon followed, and which we will endea-
vor to do when more at leisure.
The Lexington (Ky.) Reporter of the 18th in
slant says
Mr.. Clay left here on Thursday last for New
Orleans, where he expects to be detained some
time on business. Thence he will proceed to
Washington, via Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina. He is in fine health and spirits

From The Sandwich Islands.-Letters from an
officer Of the u. ship Constellation, dated Oahu,
9th August, state that the ship would sail for
California on the 10th August, leaving Valpa-
raiso about 1st December, for the United States.
The Constellation has been on the China station,
but comes home round the world" and was
so far on her way on the Sth August Speaking
of the case of the Ariel, schooner sailing under
| American colors, and engaged in the opium
smuggling trade, the writer says, that it is the
practice Of some Americans to send out clppers
to China, transfer them to some renegade Amer
lean, and turning the regular crew on shore, sail
them under our flag for the English. PHI. Chrou.

There is a good deal of saucy wit in Lord

whether there was really MAN in the moon.
