Jaros amendments TO II upon largo section Of
the, Union, and compel them to submit 10 and
accept them, whether they will or no I! They
are told that any such attempt would inevitably
result in dissolution of the Union; this, how
ever, has no weight with them, and is no argu-
ment why they should stop in their career Of
madness and folly. If The South choose to sep
arate from the North, say these patriots, lei
them do so, we care not Such is their reckless
less and wickedness, though these are really not
known or suspected by the great mass Of the
community in which they move and are concoct-

The leaders of this |" third" or !" Liberty party"
are, TO man, we believe, Locofocos, Of the most
radical and ultra kind, and hesitat not to ayow
their desire 10 break up or break down the Wing
party. They hate Mr.. Clay with perfect ha-
tired, and leave no stone unturned to defeat his
election; and yet, strange as it may seem, about
two-thirds of the rank and file Of this party are
Wings, or have been, for when they once be-
come thoroughly imbued with the notions Of
their leaders, they are hostile to their old
friends and associates, and delight in doing all
in their power to defeat them. Did not the
leaders draw larger portion Of their numbers
from the Wing party, they would cease their
operations, as one of their great objects is to
cause its defeat, and the triumph Of Locofocoisn

REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.

Movements are made in various parts of the
country, but more especially in the cities at the
North, to bring about new modelling and re-
duction of the postage. 1t is complained of as
burdensome, and altogether too high. We
doubt not that reduction Of the rates OF postage
would materially increase the income of the
Post Office Department, as very large amount
Of letters are now conveyed from city to city by
private hands which would otherwise go by
mail, as the amount saved would not be suffi-
cient object TO trouble individuals with errands
of this kind.
Complaints are made that the mail is burden
ed with matter documents, newspapers, &c.)
which pay nothing, and hence the expense of its
transportation falls upon that portion which does
not go free" There is probably some ground
for this complaint, but it is not likely members
of Congress will be induced to give up the pri-
vilege of franking documents as well as letters
to their constituents Some modification of the
Post Office laws will, however, most likely take
place at the present session; indeed the neces-
sty for such modification, and some additional
laws to protect the Department, has become abb
solulely necessary for its preservation or at least
to prevent it from becoming burden upon the
nation.

PARTY EMILEMs.-Some democratic paper,
dscoursing lately about party emblems, gives
to the Wings the Coon, and takes for the Loco
foco party in general, the Cock. This is not
altogether right; and we are in favor Of fair
play" we insist on an equitable division Of the
emblems. The Coon is, most unquestionably,
Wing property, and though he does stroll O.
nights, occasionally ly-what Of that !? he loves the
''stars," and affects the stripes" upon his TAIL
A true Republican, he is found, we believe, ol "
on the North American Continent. He is gar.
liant fellow into the bargain, and whips puppy
at each paw, easily! And homely though his
coat be, It's worth money in the market Give
us the Coon, by all means! But the Linden
void folks must let go the cock-he's none Of
their's-he's the exclusive property of their
State Rights allies. The Cock is vain of his
military clothes; flaps his wings like gascon-
aiding braggart; crows defiance to the world;
and often runs at the pinch Who shall say
then that the Multiplying Branch are not entitled
to quarter him upon their coat? As for the Van
Burenitcs, they must content themselves with
the w easel, long ago presented TO them BY MIR.
Calhoun. Let them take the Weasel-he's a
sinking little fellow, fond Of creeping through

title TO him. He's the very animal too, that they

A Washington letter writer TO the New York
Express says: President Tyler does not hesi-
tate to say that Mr.. Clay will be his successor at
the next term in all probability. AS between
Mr.. Van Buren and Mr.. Clay, if it is possible for
MIR. Tyler to have any preference, it would be
yielded to Mr.. c."
This is very improbable, or if true, is very bad
news. 1t is the characteristic Of little minds to
hate the greatness in others which they cannot
reach. The malignant envy Of such, when ex-
cited, as was Mr.. Tyler's, ever controls them
afterward Mr.. Tyler cannot support Mr. Clay,
and right glad we are that he cannot. 1t would
take away much from the qualification Of Mr.
Clays election to think that it received the feeble
aid Of Mr.. Tyler's vote. Every honest man de-
sires to be freed from the contamination Of any
sort of political association with him, and woule
deprecate his support as a positive evil. The
Wing party will not allow his vote to swell
their majority il would, to their imagination, b,
