A MISTAk E-OHIO,

About dozen Of our papers were worked OIL,
Yesterday, when we discovered a grand mis-
take in an item of election news, which was
Immediately corrected and so the error did not
appear n The rest Of the edition. Yet, presum-
ing the Globe will sieze on the mistake to make
demonstration" we deem it proper TO make
the following explanation.
A friend, who was requested by US TO furnish
a short summary Of the results in Pennsy lvania
and Ohio, stated that in the last Congress, the
Wings had only about one third Of the delega-
lion from Ohio, arhereas they had nearly tro,
thirds. The writer evidently intended 10 say
that, at the last election for Governor, when
Shannon was elected, tro-thirds Of the dis
tricis uere supposed ohare giren Democratic
m0joriiies.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE

The Postmaster General has raken effective
measures lately to collect postage on the news
papers sent from one place to another by the
mail conveyances in the employment OF the
Post Office Department. This he has done in
accordance with the law, which il i. his spec ial
duty under The Constitution and his oath of
Office 10 carry into effect, and to secure to the
Department the resources which belong to it,
All tie means TO which the Department is en-
utled, 1t Is matter OF necessity, as well as duty,
that II should avail itself of at this time-not 10
lay up surplus as some of the NEWSPAPERS al
ledge, but TO prevent a failure TO meet its en-
gagements. For It is a fact, shown by the an
nual rports, that for few years past, the re-
venue Of the Department has been declining,
and serious apprehensons are entertained, we
learn, that it Will fall below the amount of LA
bllhy An eNigency, therefore, present., itself
demanding Of the Postmaster General every e.
fort in his power TO sustain The pecuniary credit
OF the Department A high and arduous duty
is imposed upon him by the circumstances
The law entities the Department TO postage on
newspapers: The practice has been, since tie in
Productions Of Rail Roads, to send them in such
way in the mail conveyances as TO escape the
charge of postage. Under this practice, what
should go to the Department to pay for Trans.
mission, remains in tae pocket of the subscriber.
orgoes in whole or in part To swell the profits of
the publisher. To break up this practice aC
lect' the prcunay interest of powerful class
the open-mouthed, many-voiced trumpet
tongued newspaper press. The Postmaster
General knew that the press. like the ancient
orators, had daily speech with the people, and
welded great Influence over the public mind /;
hut he did not believe that it was, in our Young
and vlrtuous country, above the law, as the n
clent orators claimed to be, in the degenera @
days OF their republics. In the fearless and
conscientious discharge of his duty, he has
treated II like every other interest as the sub.
jet Of the law. And for doing go, he has been

denounced aud iihsd in a manner that
speaks badly for the morals aud temper Of
portion Of our public journals.
Mr.. Wicklifle 10 charged with the sdminis,ra-
lion of the Post Office Department under Ger
tain acis Of Congress, that require lis operations
10 be sustained exclusively out Of a tax levied
on letters, newspapers aud Pamphlets sent py
The mail conveyances. Mr.. Wicblihe did mol
make the law, and is not responsible Tor lis ro'
Icy. His business is TO enforce it--and this he
is undera peculiar necessity Of doing at this
time for he finds his revenues declining
from year TO year, whilst under the acts
passed by Congress, from time to lime'
increasing the number of mail routes, he
inds il impossible 10 reduce the expenses oil
the Department. This policy may not be a
good one. IL may be belt,r TO sustain the Posi-
Office system out of the general tax than ny
hostages. But this is a question for the law
making power and not the Executive. Some
are for aboli.hing the Post Office system entirely
There are, We learn, over 1000 post routes IN The
United States in operation. There are about
Dozen or a score AT the outside, on which phi
'ite expresses Iuu' ih'oe "'e '"e "'"7' -
ductive routes, and PASS through the great cities.
Now, the proposition is, that the 1000 routes be
discontinued, and that the whole business oil
mail INSTRUMENTATION be left 10 be done
by the private expresses. Nine-ttnhs OF the
country are 10 be deprived of all stated means
of transmitting and receiving public and private
intelligence--lhey are TO be shut oil IN outer
darkness, that the remaining zenith may exclu-
sively enjoy The privileges of intercommunca-
ZION to excess at the cheapest possible rate.
What proposition 10 come from quarter that
denounces the Postmaster General as barba
rian, for checking the diffusion OF intelligence,
by demanding the legal postage on newspapers
