Reelection Of Postage. reader will find on
the first pnsc Of this paper, an interesting report to
The Senate, from the hands Of the Post Master
General. 1t relates to suhjcc, Of very general
importance. I, is krown, ,ha, for scvelal weeks
past, the Post Master Of larger cities and larger
towns have been CONVENED ut Washington, to con.
suit together on the popriety of reducing the cx-
lslims rates of postage. Among them were Post
Master Gordon of Eos'on, Montgomery of Phila-
dephia, Jones cl Washington, and Gmi,nm Of this
city, and the present rcpori may be considered IA
the result Of their deliberations. Mr. Wicklina is
one Of the most efficient men, that ever managed
this department and wc are glad that hc is disposed
10 consult the convenience Of the public us wei
as the revenue Of the Office.
This plan as Ear as it gocs, is good one To
proposes 10 make reduction in the rates Of post
age Us inl!ows
Upon all single letters sen, by the mail any distance
not over 30 miles ) cents.
Over 50 10 100 ,niles 10
Over 100 10 220 miles IS
Over 220 to 100 miles 20
Over 400 25
The ouly just and equitable rule for enac'ing
postage is TO make the rates correspond proper
tonaly " ilh The distance. Eut under present ar,
rnngemen,s this :ule is no, likely TO be carried
into effect, ana we arc willing to take such rcduc-
tons AS wo can set. The administration Of the
federal government is such. under all parties, that
the advocate of equal aud exact justice to all men,
Is compelled to take what, Improvements he can
get, wiihon, sticking for The lett reforms.

.aNTI-BILIOUS PILLS.

From the ten thousand eulogies past upon the
different kinds of Pills which are exposed in the
prints, and the absolute fasehoods which are
told about the various diseases which they are to
cure, and mostly by those who have no knowl-
edge Of the science of medicine, either by theory
or by practice, to cure all the various diseases to
which the human family are subjects too pre-
posterous for any thinking mind to believe; the
whole object Of the vender or quack must be to
name all the various Ills IN order to catch ALL
as none other would have the hardihood to i'm
pose such deception on a credulous community.
1t would be quite as laudable in me, Judging from
the virtues of the above Pills in comparison with
others, that should say they would cure every
disease which exists un Ter the sun; but cannot,
will not do it,-although believe their virtues
are quite equal to any, and superior to most; and
do know that our most popular physicians ale
in the constant use of them, and that THEIR OK
percnce and NINE for series Of years, whilst ell
gagged in the practice of the profession, have pro-
we'd their great virtues and beneficial effects, OF
all Others is the best teacher and safest guide.
The above nan ed Pills are suitable i'll all cases
where gentle purgative is required to exert
salutary influence throughout the system. The
regular dose is tiom to 4,-may be taken at
bed time if most convenient. As there is much
difference as 10 the amount of medicine required
to produce an operation, some might find one or
two sufficient where other individuals might re-
quire double that number, and even the same
person may require more at one time than at an
other. 1t is not necessary to take them all the
time,-once or twice week, less or more, as re-
quired by the state Of the bowels They are per-
tectly safe
No pills can have better effect than these for
the monthly irregularities which occasionally
happen to women. They assist at the conf
mencemcnt oipuberty, also when therei check
from cold or improper exposure, and even at the
time of their entire cessation.

To DR. II. WisrAR:
Dear Sir.-In your last letter, you ask if
your Basam has been successful in this city. In
reply to that Enquiry, can assure you have
never before sold any medicine that has sold so
rapidly or been used with such universal success,
as yours has. In some cases it has effected sur
prisng cures, and in Others has given great re-
lief after every other remedy had failed. But
there is one case that excels any have sd. heerd
of. This was poor woman that has been afilic-
ted with CONSUMPTION for several years,
and had tried every thing in vein. Knowing
she was very poor yet very worthy, sent her
bottle gratis, which she said relieved her very
much. Tlns circumstance was soon made known
to religious society she belonged TO, Ggd they
imsiedately presented her with half dozen
bottles, which she has also used part OF, and Is
recovering very fast. She told me few days
since that she had not felt so well for the last
year, and believed your medicine was the only
thing that saved her life, &c. The same society
have purchased over thirty bottles for ditleren
PERSONS and will no doubt purchase many more
they praise it very highly. Yours, respect
uily,
