COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

Upon our first pnge will be found n communication
| from n. Colby, Esq, Of Derby, relating TO the i'm
portuncc of forming Agricultural Societies, and ask
ing n full attendance at tho meeting notified in Or
leans County. nj, suggestion ola 25ccnts member
ship may be the best, certainly So ir thereby tho
sum required by tho law can be raised. If not we
think il should be so cents If not and the pay
ment of the sum stipulated, annually, should be, per
haps, tho condition of membership, and member
ship only to ene any one 10 be competitors for any
premium.
The sum required to be raised FOR this county A.
bout $3.50 00-for Orleans some less than $500 90,
and for Essex about $40 90. The annual payment
Of this sum into The treasury Of each society, with
the amount drawn from the State Treasury would en-
able the Several Societies to offer very respectable
premiums; and to encourage the Screased produc-
ton Of some nrclestoo great competition cannot be
excited especially that of wheat. We arc impover-
ished now by the large sums Of money sent out Of
the State to pay for -four.
The objects aimed at by such societies are worthy
Of tho attention Of men Of all pursuits among us, and
cannot but hope Societies may be formed in each
County in the State This week we publish calls for
preliminary meetings in two Of Northern Counties,
and NO see by exchanges that in other Counties
meetings have also been notified.

A CHANGE. The present arrangement OF the
mails makes i, expedent for us to change our day oil
publication from Tuesday to Monday. Ey this alter
alton we shall DO able to send ont our paper in al
most any direction it is printed, and much
sooner upon the northern routes thnn heretofore -
Our inside is this week dated in accordance with
tho new arrangement
We have also, with some additional expense, made
arrangements for obtaining the quickest pos
sblc the from various quarters OF the country,
and generally we shall send it abroad earlier than it
be obtained except by those persons who may
luke the City Dues. We had the Presidents Mes
sage in type and ready 10 circulate four days and
hnlr after its dclivcryto Congress, and arrange
ments now for the future will bring us Washington
dates almost as fresh. We have put ourselves 10 this
trouble aud expense Of obtaining the news earlier
than it will be oblained by in FIVE thousand in
this quarter for tho especial accommodation of our
customers and with the hope also of mcriling aud
securing additional subscribers. Tho new year will
open md it will be- good time for new subscr-
bers to commence. The coming year will abound
with great events, And who does not wish to be in
formed of their progress and issue }
1t is orr deliberate opinion that individuals cnrnot
now in any other way do good service to tho Wing
ms in circulating Wing prpcrs. The is
the true couso:-it viii brilliantly triumph here and
elsewhere the coming year, but not without vigilance
and effort. Come, friends, and be up to the work.
THE MESSAGE Of President Tyler attracts but
little attention 1t is soft, easy sort Of a document
-An-Whig in all Of its leading Observation-Disclosures
all expected it would be decidedly in its recon-
mendnton of increased expenditures in the Army,
Navy, &c-in reference to the pubic lands and in
touching the Texan question; though what he says
this subject is Indirectly said yet it is plain enough
to perceive the,drft and meaning Of tho long talk a
bout Mexico: it is plainly all intended to prepare
the public mind far annexation. What, pray, has
this country to do with Mexco-with the war be-
tween Mexico and 'rexnsl Why, he might with as
much proPrietY have taken up the long internal srug
gle in SPAIN and shed his tears over their attendant
horrors only, Spain has no Texas for the Captain to
cove:.
The general aspect whichth Message gives Of our
foreign relations, except this Nexcan-or rather Tex
ian matter-ror it all means the latter-is pleasing
Tho President SloriGcs himself not ltlle-and
whoever had so little occasion for doing it The on
ly commentator we have seen Of the Message is
that it is brie(-or shorter than the long yarns spun
out by Van Buren, when he President. There is
consolation in the reflection that Mr. Tyler has but
one moro Annual Message TO put forth, & Van Buren,
none. The nest Message after that Of December 1874
comes from Wing President.

The WHIG SPIRIT TN >CoNNEcTlcUr.-The

POST OFFICE REtORM.

Ia order 10 secure success, this important subj
should he continually kept before the public. II
should be agtated by the people, until their wishes
shall he needed in the councils Of the nation Tue
present system and rates OF postage onerous,
popular and the laws establishing them will be- eyad-
ed as long they shall be continued in force. Upon
this point, have facts, gathered from ex-
animation Of the committee of the House OF Com
mons of Great Britain when the subject of a reduc-
ton OF hostages agitated there, which find IN
extract flou, Fcrt RS Progress II the Nation
As one instance, it may be mentioned that a bag
containing eleven hundred letters, seized in a
carriers warehouse but if direct evidence Of tins
fraudulent practice had been wanting, the fact of its
existence would have been inferred from the condl-
ton OF the post Office revenue, which had continued
nearly stationary during great number OF of years,
while the population had been rapidly increasing,
and the manufacturing and commercial transactions
of the country had been making gigantic strides
Such reduction of the rates oil postage as that adj
vocated and afterwards adopted, would at once put
end to the Illicit conveyance OF letters trade,
and cause the whole correspondence OF the country
pass through the post office. This, in itself, would
large Increase Of business without reckon Dg
that letter additional written because of the
cheapness Of conveyance. But all experience IN
analogous cases, gave assurance that progressive
and very great increase would follow from such
wholesale abatement in the charge, as that advocated
Now, the same thing is happening here every day,
The illicit conveyance Of letters is large-,ery large
This diminshes the revenue in greater degree than
reduction of the rates of postage even if there was
no increase in the number of letters written Those
which forwarded by convcyances other than
the mail, would, in the case Of reduction, become
a source Of revenue
But the following facts in relation to the operation
Of the penny postage system in Great Britain, must
convince every one that material reduction of the
rates of postage in this country can be made without
prejudice TO the revenue, the usefulness OF The
General Post Office Department.
The friends OF the proposed reduction in England,
when the question first brought forward by Sir
Rowland Hill, were confident that the Increased
number of letters which would be conveyed through
The mails, would, IN the course of few years, in
crease the revenue. 1t would appear, from these Ia
bles, that the prediction Is being rapidly fulfilled

London General Post Office, inwards aud outwards
during the year 1899, was
