gratitude for your kindness to me that make pub
lie acknowledgment Of the benefit have received
from your Sarsaparilla. have been for many years
afflicted with cancer in the breast, and for four
years it was, thought, incurable; it spread very
fast, that it had nearly covered the whole breast,
and for many weeks | was reduced with the loss
of blood and the pain of the wound, that was I'M
able to turn myself in bed and my suferings during
the whole winter were more than can tell. With
the advice Of my friends, called two Of The most
eminent physicians of the place, who recommended
your preparation of Sarsaparilla, knowing of nothing
that would be as likely to help me which advice
readily received, and before had taken one bottle
found change in my feelings which induced me to
take more, and when had taken the third bottle,
like another person both in health and strength
have taken your preparation since last March, and
although the wound IS not entirely healed it is in
very favorable state, and believe it will be the
means, ultimately, of my entire cure; and that the
afflicted may all find the relief which it alone can
give, is the wish of their and your friend
EUNICE WOODRUFF.

"POsT OFFICE REFORM"

From certain indications, we should not be
surprised if the editorial camorers for reform in
the Post Office system were about to "get it'
with vengeance. The camor has been raised
by about thirty journals, in the large cities,
which circulate to a considerable extent in the
surrounding towns, the papers being transport
ed until recently, on the railroads, out of the
mail, and free Of postage. Since the PosTMAs-
TER GENERAL, in compliance with the law on
the subject, and that its violation should no
longer affect the revenue of the Department,
has endeavored to remedy the evil, those press
es have insisted on radical change ofthe whole
Post Office system. They have even gone so
far as 10 demand that the official documents Of
the Government shall be charged with postage,
and that the ranking privilege of members of
Congress, and Postmasters, shall be abolished
These reforms, they say, will enable the Gov
eminent TO "reduce the rates of postage" al
all events.
Well, if we mistake not, the sincerity OF
these clanorous editors is about 10 be tested
It is a pity there are not more than thirty OF
forty OF them, for the credit of the counry-pro-
vided they do not "finch."
There are about 1000 newspapers and period
icas published in The United States. Let us
suppose that they are all in favor of the called
for 6 reduction of postage" the " abolition Of
the fraEkng privilege and the "radcal re-
folm" Well; every editor in the Union now
gets his exchange papers free, and the Post
masters are permitted by law to frank all the
letters he receives ON subscribers. lfpostage

be charged on all the exchange papers, and on
the letters, double and single, received by edi-
tors, without a word Of complaint, why they
will be all patrio's of the first water. oar post
age will be about 81 900 per annum. But sup
posing the average amount paid by editors viii
not be more than S25O-yet the camorous and
patriotic editors will generously contribute 10
the support Of the Department HALF MILLION
OF DOLLARS
1t must have been pure patriotism that raised
the clamor among the editors, for they have
been truly favored tribe No class of men in
the country ever enjoyed such privileges, and
they should have been the last TO complain Of
trivial Yexalons, and 10 demand the abolition Of

THE soUTH-ABoLITIoN.

| perceive, from your Congressional report
Of Yesterday, that, upon a motion OF Mr.. Drom:
goole to rccommit, and the amendment of Mr..
Black, of Georgia, instructing the Committee
to report the old 25th rule Of the House prohibit.
ing the reception of Abolition petitions, an ami
mated debate arose Of a character which clear
ly points out TO the whole South the proper
course to pursue, and what they may expect
from Congress protesting 10 be Democratic,
with majority of nearly two-thirds. The OBJ
iect of both parties is to conciliate the Adolf
tionists. and secure their votes in the coming
election, as has been fully illustrated in every
debate upon this question. Mr.. Beardsey, OF
| New York, the exponent Of Mr.. Van Buren's
views, goes as far upon the subject OF right TO
petition as either Mr.. Giddings, an avowed Abo-
litonist or Mr.. Adams but while he attempts
to satisfy the Abolitioniss of the North uponthe
right of petition, and acknowledges The constr
tuliona power Of Congress to abolish slavery in
! the District Of Columbia and the Territories, he
throws a crumb of comfort to the South, by de-
] claring that, although he is fully convinced of
the constitutional power, yet he is not disposed
, to exercise it in the District Of Columbia, be-
cause it would affect The rights Of Maryland and
Virginia, who ceded this territory for perma-
nent seat of Government. Is the South 10 be
entrappcd by such hollow professions, when the
constitutional right TO exercise the power OF
/ Abolition is boldly proclaimed by The personal
and political friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,, whose
main political strength in 1910 was in the Soulhf
The asst Congress, which had a large Wing
majority, refused TO receive these petitions, up
on the ground that the petitions themselves
were unconstitutional, and ought not to be re-
ceived. deny the constitutional power IN
toto either to abolish slavery in the District oil
Columbia or the Territories. No such power
is delegated 10 the Constitution, and if it should
be exercised it must be done under the old
Federal doctrine of construction and implIca-
ton, which is at war with the rights OF the
States and the People the sheet anchor oil the
Union. W it'll this unequivocal declaration oil
Mr.. Beardsley, upon this subject, before me, dc
not hesitate to proclaim him Federaist in ev-
ery essential particular. The advocates of a
National Bank derive their power TO create such
an institution by implication, because it is no
delegated, and the power which Mr.. Beardsley
claims to abolish slavery is also implied ii being
no where delegated in the Constitution,

THE TARIFF AND PUBLIC DEBT.

We clip the following from the Globe Of
yesterday:
Federal legislation end administration have, in
three years, brought the Government In debt near
thirty millions and The President tells Congress that
it must provide ways and means 10 meet deficit Of
about sixteen millions accruing during the fourth year
Of his term. The prohJitory protective character
Of the present torG renders it wholly inadequate to
meet current expenses and the Secretary Of the Trca
sury ssucs a Government paper money TO supply the
daily deficiency"
If the legislation which produced the tariff
was Federal legislation, the Buchanans,
Wrights, Ingersolls, &c &C., are all Federal
lists. Ii could not have raised either House,
without their appreciation and support
A word in reply TO what is said in relation to
the public debt The cause Of deficiency in
The revenue, is truly 'the prohibitive character
of the present tarih'-and the Wnghts and Blu
chauans the peculiar supporters Of Mr.. Van
Buren,. are The FATHERS Of The tariff. Surely the
Administration is not to be made accountable
for the Federal deeds of Mr. Van Buren, and
his parisans They alone are answerablc for
the debt
But what was the case when Mr.. Van Buren,
was President The expenditures during has
Administration erceeded the regular receipts
ofrerenue, betueen thirty and forty millions
of doliors-and the present debt was, in fact,
Of Mr. Van Buren's contracting.
