THE POSTMAS1E Err GENERAL.

Several papers in the large cities, and partcu
larry that class known as the penny press, have
opened a warfare upon MIR. Wickiffr, the eff
cient and able Postmaster General, for under.
taking TO prevent a violation of those laws
which be has sworn 10 see faithfully executed
IL swell known that several individuals 10 the
large ciiie., have commenced running, what is
called expresses on the great thoroughfares OF
travel, and between the cities and larger vii.
lagos, for the ostensible purpose Of carving
packages and parcels which would no, come
under the head of mailable matter. These ex-
presses have become successful, and usually
are conveyed in railroads and steamboats,, where
the mail Is catrird-in other words, they travel
BY the quickest conveyances from place TO place
Their expresses, Instead Of confning their bust
ness TO ITS legitimate purposes, have commenced
carrying letters and newspapers, until the re-
venue Of the Post Office Department has been
seriously affected by It.
IL Is well known also, that any contractor for
carrying the United Stats Mail STIMULATES with
the Government not to be engaged in carrying
letters or mailable matter out of the mail, nor
allow IT TO BE- done by others in his conveyance ;
and furthermore swears that he will obey the
laws aud Constitution Of the United States, and
protect the Department, as Far as he can, from
fraud. Congress has passed laws, at different
times. Tor the protection Of the Department, and
forbidden any person from being engaged in
transmitting mail intelligence or parcel, out of
the mail, from place to place, under severe pen
allies. This law, through some cause or other.
has been entirely dlsregarded by these express
companies, as well as the oath of contractors
who are employed on railroads and steamboats,
in carrying the mail, by allowing the express
agents to carry on this unlawful business in
their cars and boats, until IT has become the du
~ OF the Postmaster General TO take meas ures
Tor It's enforcement To do this he has issued
circular and sent to all the contractors, in which
ne calls Their attention 10 the law and expresses
determination to execute it, as far as he can.
For doing this he is censufed in the seyerest
terms by the presses alluded 10, as we think
without any kind OF reason. This law. too. is
denounced IN the same manner, and all because
II conflicts with the pecuniary interest of the
publishers, who arc in the habit of sending
Their papers from the place al which they are
published TO their agents in the different villages
aud clues, alta molety Of the cost TO tran.pott
them IN the mail The editors Of these paper,
contend that the law should be repealed, and
that every individual should enjoy the tight of
carrying letters and papers wherever they please

The Rev. Leonard Bacon, ID. ID. Of New Haven,
writes; " Meals History of the Puritans is work
OF great industry and research. The author wrote,
indeed, with an undlsguised of the injuries
which the Purtans and their successors, the Noncon-
formists, had suffered from the English Government Mt
and his narrative is therefore TO be considered as er
pare. 1t differs from any history of the Purtans
which a writer on the other side would produce very
much history of England written by an English
man would differ from history of England written
by FrenchDan. Yet the attempts which have beef
made to impugn its authority have not been success
full. Few works of SO great extent and including
many details, have better sustained the assaults Of
hostile criticism Subsequent Investigations, contn-
ued with great zeal for more than century, have
detected its errors, and have shown the power of
party feelings on the authors judgment But errors
more serious have been detected in Hume's more
complete and classical history and with respect to
the influence Of pa'tisanship upon the story the little
finger Of Clarendon thicker than the loins Of Neal
No man can be really acquainted with the history Of
England since the Reformation, till he has read
marked, and inwardy digesed the History of the Pu-
rians. ! am glad to be Informed that a edition
is about TO be offered to the public and if the notes
to be added are written, as ] hope they will be, in
that free, historic spirit which though difficult !.
more possible TO at this distance Of time and place
than il in England century ago, they will great
increase the value of the second American edition"
The Rev. Evan Humphrey, d. ID. President Of
Amherst College, writes thus 10 Mr.. Choues: 4"
49, harry - iS-.o chat have uudertoken 10 p,o
pare edition Of Meals History of the Purtans. At
any time and under any circumstances such an offer
ing would not fail of being highly acceptable to the
descendants Of those heroic witnesses for the truth
and for the simple forms of Gospel worship, who
were deposed, imprisoned and put to death under
the bloody Mary, and scarcely less cruelty tr, ated
under her besotted and imperious successor But
the menacng attitude of Popery, the encroachments
Of Puseyism, and the lofty claims which are now set
up by other advocates Of high church principles and
ceremonies, will make the Offering doubly accep,a
bic II is due to those great and good men, the Pur-
tans Of the 10th century, who, their enemies being
judges, were the firmest friends Of civil and reli-
gious liberty, that the record of th,r suerings for
conscience ,ake should be handed down 10 the latest
posteriy and il is especially incumbent upon the
Of the Purtans In this land TO keep every sue
cessiye generation Of their children advised Of the
principles and sacrifices Of those their immortal an
ccstors: The righteous shall be had in everlasting
RENE mbrance.'"
