1t is said that Mr.. Disney's report on

ours with the House with most OF their
propositions, diff ering radically only upon
the amendment relating TO the State Prin-
ter. Now if this be so, we hope the
Wings may al once cOneu with the SEN
ate, and pass the Bill as far as they can
agree, and not lose the whole bill while
contending for the clause reducing the
emoluments of tie State Printer. II the
rest OF the bill is in passable shape, pass
it. Then the Wings can insist upon going
into the elections. free from any imputa-
ton Of designto place the officers to he
elected beyond the reach Of the bill To re-
duce their salaries. This done, they can
place the reduction Of the fees and emo
Iuments Of the State Printer, on ito ouuan
hook. and leave upon the Senate the re-
s~ponsibIlity Of defeating it. If the propo.
sition be right the people will sustain those
who supported il, If not, not. By passing
the bill, as far as il regards the members
and general officers, all pretext is taken
away for refusing to go into the elections.
BY refusing to pass il, o pretext lie afford.

The east on The subject of Postage, and to
the necessity Of a simultaneous action on
this subject throughout the c ,untry, All
agree 10 the necessity Of "a reduction in
postage. Phe present rate is too high
and %inconvenient; and a lower rate, pay
ments in the federal currency, is deman-
ded by a proper regard to the greatest
good Of the people.
The plan recommended by the New
York meeting, as shown by their proceed
ings, is to reduce the ranking privilege,
and establish q uniform postage Of foe
cents ia advance, on each letter weigh.
ing not more than half an ounce, and
five cents on every half ounce addition.
al, for all distances.
On newspapers and periodicals. the
New York Memorial favors the adoption
OF a uniform Pestags OF one haIr cear on
every newspaper, periodical, or printed
sheet conveyed BY mail when paid in adj
vance, and double that sum when not
paid in advance. To do this (the pay
ment of newspaper postage in advance
would require an entire change in the
presen! system Of publishing.
The postage OIL papers should not be
less than n cent when conveyed out Of
the State where published, and an addi-
tional cent on all sheets over a certain
size, and then our mails would not be
weighed down by mammoth sheets, no.
vels, and the like.
Newspapers should not DO charged
with postage, within the counties in which
they are published. Every country pa
should insist upon this reform We find
it difficult enough now to live, owing to
the competition Of eastern printers;-
and if newspapers brought 500 or COO
miles, should pay only as much postage
as one brought 10 or Is, the country press
would be compelled to stop. If the wesI
would give that patronage they now ex
tend TO eastern journals 10 their own pa
pers. il would enable the country press
to issue larger, neater and ADLER sheets.
The Pittsburgh Gazette in remarking on
this subject, says:-"The preservation o.
the morals and liberties of the country
depends on the healthy existence of Q
local Press;scaueredall over the country,
through the length and bredth of the
land. The scheme of the New Yorkeri
will tend 20 break down the local press,
by the competition of the city Publishers,
with their superior advantages, and the
result will be TO this country what Paris
is to France, the heart Of the nation, and
it's pulsations will be felt in every part
How long will the liberties and morals
of the country be preserved in such q
state of affairs"
Mr. Merrick has introduced into the
senate Of tho United States a Postage
Reform Bill Of which the following is an
eutline:
~. Each single letter carried less thar
100 miles, s cents.
Each letter over 100 miles, 10 cents.

Observation-Disclosures one day in
the country we fell in company with a
man whom we soon ascertained to be a
well-to.live m-:he world farmer. In the
course Of conversation upon various sub
jects, principally agricultural, we found
that he was just returning from our town,
where he had that day contracted for the
sale OF 500 bushels Of wheat at rs cents
per bushel. Ffom this our conversation
passed to that Of newspapers, and upon
ascertaining that he was not a subscriber
to any paper we offered him ours. But
the man had so many ways for his money
lie could not afford it We then asked
him, it he would become Z subscriber in
case we would convince him that il he
had taken the paper, he would have saved
in one bargain alone, FIVE times the cost
of il for a year. He agreed to this. and
we took from our pocket one of our latest
papers in which was an ad advertisement,
offering to contract for any quantity Of
wheat At 8 cents per bushel. Thus we
illustrated to our farmer friend, that If he
had been d reader Of our paper no might
have saved 6 cents on each of his 500
bushels of Wheat, making a fetal Of 500
to pay for the paper for is years,
