postmaster general, appears determined to out
down the expresses. We copy in this sheet
a letter Of his, addressed to the proprietors OF
steamboats, and railroads. He complains that
what he calls small matter" including news
papers, and we infer other periodicals likewise
are sent from place to place upon roads and
over waters which are established as mail
| routes, and insists that the persons to whom
his letter is addressed shall establish such in
QUESTIONS and make such regulations as will
effec,ually prevent such practices for the fu-
ture.
The contest is not SO much between Mr.
Wickliffe and the expresses as between Mr..
Wickliffe and the community. The commu-
nifty, wherever expresses are established, find
them more speedy, more punctual, and in ma
| ny respects cheaper than the mails. They
are therefore inclined to airport the expresses.
The greater efforts which the government
makes to compel men to forego the expresses
and employ the mails, the mole inclined will
the people be 10 employ the expresses exclu-
sively. ! send by The expresses only, said a
merchant to US this morning; serd nothing
by the mail. Let the subject be ag!tated. a
little more, and the expresses will be still
more generally employed.

Owen, members elect 10 Congress from 1ndi-

as Delegates to the National Convention, on
the grounds that duty requires that all their

trine. It's pity that more members are not

Why is it that, previous TO the adoption
Of the principle Of expansion by the Bank
Of England, the history Of the world shews
not single instance, either in ancient or
modern days, Of such general commercial
revulsions as have since become both uni>
versal and periodical in all countries that
have adopted the system! Or, if such
single instance can be shewn, tell us when
and where!
Why is j. that, while these revulsions
and distresses are thus both IMMERSED and
periodical in all those countries that have
adopted the system withou, exception,
they are still equally unknown in all those
countries that have not been brought un-
der its influence, without exception even
in our day.-Ouowa Free Trader.

II. was one of these kind, benevolent men

the commission Of any act which was in the
least likely TO injure or wound the feelings OF
others. His deah will be deeply regretted
by numerous friends in every part of the Ter

Col. JoHNsoN.--The Boston Post Of the
18th instant says:-''s Since first its fight Of
years began Faneuil Hall was never so JAM
med, crammed and crowded as on last evening
in consequence Of the public announcement
that Col. Johnson would deliver an address on
the Irish repeal question. The gallant old
patriot arrived at the Hall at 20 minutes before
8 CLOCK, but how an opening was ever made
for him 10 reach the rostrum is a matter Of
profound physical wonderment. He was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm, and his remarks,
although Of an exceedingly desoltory charac-
ter, were listened to with great interest. Upon
the point that it is the duty of the American
people, from feelings of common humanity. to
favor the repeal cause, his opinion was deci-
ded and distinct. On his fathers side he clai-
med to be of Welsh descent, and Irish on his
mothers.
He spoke repeatedly and very pleasantly
Of many interesting incidents in his military,
political, and personal history, and made ma.
ny felicitous aIlusious to the hosts Of ladies in
the galleries. He also recoun,ed many anec-
du!es Of Irish galantry and patriotism, which
had fallen under his observation during the
last war. He was greatly cheered .hroughou.
