The work of Mr.. Atkinson is one of

has yet appeared on the important and
difficult subject Of Political Economy

in the nature of its laws as in the appl-

different nations and periods. The laws
educed by Mr.. Atkinson are so Just, so
clear, so vital, and yet so strangely over

Correspondence Of the HERALD
WASHINGTON, 18th January, ls44,l
Thursday Evening.
Captain Stockton has arrived in the city, and
understand that the Princeton is on her way here
under command Of the LIST Lieutenant. SO we are
all preparing for great sensation.
Please call attention to a very important fact
lative to COL Merrick's Post Office Bill, to wit
il makes no change in the existing law respecting
newspaper erchanges-they will continue to go as
heretofore. Col Merrick assures me the bill will
need the full, entire, and warm support of all the
friends of Post Office reform. Let the press speak
out al once The bill will be opposed by the Post
master-General and all his 1900 subordinates,
whose abuses 1t proposes to correct. There Is
Of the BILL therefore, send IN their petitions with
out any delay and in the mean time, for the spe-
cial benefit Of those Is or 10000 Postmasters, and
their private friends, beg to call attention to the
following figures and facts:-
In the month of October there ranked by Post
by other officers, State National SS9-total al80SS
BY Members OF Congress during same
By the latter in - months. ....... 222,696
By Post Masters, &C., as above in
First class above named. ....... I,66s,sas
Latter class .......... i,oa4'0ds
Total. $500 900
From which it appears that the Thanking OF men,
bers OF Congress Is mere bagatelle compared with
that of Postmasters Moreover, let the govern
ment pay for its own postage, and not impose tax
upon the people to. pay it.
However, Col. Merrick's bill is open for amend
ment, and is the time for ITS friends to let their
voices be heard. lie has already proposed to re-
duce the postage on periodicals to two cents per
ounce instead of n as before named
