A FACT FOR THE CoNsIpER. ALTON OF CoSGREss
1t is stated as fact, in the New York Sun,
that one of the private mail concerns received in
one day $50 letters, while the Post Office re-
eeived only three; and the private mail, at six
cents letter, received s3l 80 while the Post
office collected only .fty sir and quarter cents,
This is an important fact, which shows what
will become of the revenue which the Govern.
ment derived from the Post-office Department,
unless some reform is introduced and the cheap
postage system adopted. The Postmaster Gen
era, it is said, has seen the necessity of the a
dopton of this measure, and in his report to Con-
gress, in few weeks, will press the necessity
of a reduction which will not be lower than five
cents, nor higher than 10, and the President will
also call the attention of Congress to the impor-
tance of prompt action. Congress, it is to be
hoped, will pay more attention to it than at the
last session. Had the suggestions of the press
and the popular voice, as expressed through pub
lie meetings, been listened to- the Government
might now be reaping the advantages which o.
theirs enjoy. We are anxious TO see what effect
has been produced in the last year upon the Post
office department in the pecuniary resources by
the private mails

Gel. r. AZ JohnsoI'S opinion Of Hem
ry CiGy.-'1 have been in public life for
forty years, and in that time have been
associated with all the great men of the
Of the country. Leaving out Madison
and Gallatin, who were old men when
first stepped upon the theatre OF politics,
l wiH place Jefferson first, then Henry
Clay. He is perfect Hercules in all
the qualities that can adorn human ma
ture. Some men may excel him in a
single quality; for instance, Webster
may be a greater Iogician; or some may
be more renowned for deep researches;
but take Clay all in all, he has not an
equal in the Union, either in the North
or the South, the East or the West. In
moral courage, in physical courage, in
oratory, in. patriotism, and in every no.
BILE quality, he is without superior
He is a great man--a rery great man.

Mr.. Clay's principles,

From circular signed by Senator Benton, first
published in the Missouri ntaigsncer, Oct.22 IA.
"Thc principles which would gouern
Mr.. Clay's administration, ifelected, are
well known TO the nation They have
been displayed upon the floor Of Con-
gress for the last fourteen years. They
constitute system of AMERICAN policy,
based on the Agriculture and Manufac-
lures of his own country; upon interior
as we'll as foreign commerce.; upon in
ternal as we'll as sea. board improvement;
upon the independence ofthe New World
and close commercial alliances with
Mexico and South America. If it is said
that others would pursue the same sys-
tenn, we answer that the founder Of a
system is the natural executor Of his own
work; that the most efficient protector
Of American Iron, Lead, Hemp, Wool,
and Cotton, would be The triumphant
champion Of the new tariff, the safest
friend to interior commerce would be
the Statesman who has proclaimed the
Mississippi TO be the Sea of the West;
the most Jealous promoter of Internal
Improvements would be the President
who has triumphed over the President
who opposed the construction of Nation
al Roads and Canals; the most success
ful applicant for treaties with Mexico &
South America would be the eloquent ad
vocate of their own Independence.
