POSTAGE REFORM,

The Baltimore American says: II will
be most acceptable news 10 our readers
generally 10 know t',at light on this i'm
portani subject hes a;lcngli penetrated tie
darkest inner fccesses of the Post Office
Department. The New York Tribune
says-We have authority in which VIC
coulide for stating, that Postmaster Gene
raj Wickliffe will next week recommend
to Congress q Reduction Of tho rates oI
Postage to Ere cents for all distances un-
der five hundred miles, ind ten cents for
all greater distances. There can be no
doubt that Congress will readily concur,
though the Post Office Committee Of tie
House will intcrposc every obstacle in Its
power.
This is great step toward the right.
There ought to be still lower rate for a
short distance, but let us take this and
then ask for more. OF course the Frank.
ing Privilege goes overheard. il there is
any idea Of making the Department sus'
tain itself.

Death OF Mr F0rcman.-Jahn l.. Foreman,
ESQ.,, the Senator from Pitt county, died
in the city of Raleigh, on Tuesday the
Goth ultimo. He had been for seve-
raj months in very feeble health, but
for some days previous to his death, his
friends thought he was improving. These
appearances Of returning health, however,
it seems were deceptive; and on Tuesday
morning he was attacked with an effusion
of water in his chest and lungs, which
deprived him of life in a few hours.
Both Houses of the Legislature passed
resolutions testifying their respect for the
memory of the deceased. and united in
honoring his remains. On Wednesday
morning, the members of the two Houses,
with other citizens, assembledat the house
E. B. Freeman, esq, (where the family
of the deceased resided and accompanied
the corpse to the limits Of the city, ftom
whence the friends and relations proceed
ed with it to Pitt county, where his re-
mains will find their final resting place.
The Raleigh Register accompanies the
notice Of his death with the following re-
marks: Mr.. Foreman had for years
served the county which he represented
with marked fidelity and honesty, and
his death will be severe blow to his con-
stituents, and his friends. In life his name
always commanded respect; and now that
he is dead, his memory will long be che
rished."

The election for a Judge Of the Supreme
Court was to take place on Monday last.
No other name had been put in nominal
ton at our last accounts than that of our
esteemed fellow-ciiizen the Hon. Freder-
lex Nash.
60 Since the above was in type, we
learn that the Hon. Frederick Nash has
been elected a Judge of the Supreme Court
Of this State, to gil the vacancy OCCASION
ed by the death Of the lamrlted Judge
Castor. Judge Nash received the unani.
nous vote of the Senate, and in the House
all but nineteen votes which were cast for
Judge Pearson.
We have never had doubt that The ap-
poin,ment Of Judge Nash would be con.
fimed by the Legislature. His known
ability, and the high moral tome which al.
ways characterized him as Judge, emf
nently qualified him 10 gil the place OF
William Castor; and we knew that The
people of the State preferred him to any
other that could have been selected. J.
We also learn that the Hon. David F.
Caldwell, of Salisbury, has been elected a
Judge of the Superior Courts of Law in
this State, in place Of Judge Nash resign
ed. Augustus Moore, esq, Of Edenton,
was run in opposition to Judge Caldwell.
We have been informed that Judge Cald.
well has taken high stand among our
Superior Court Judges in the short time
he has filed the station by the appoint
ment of the Governor and Council.

ing and protecting manufactures is to BEN
eit agriculture by opening a new and

Indeed! Is that the truth! Yes.
Is it the rhole truth!
Oh, he says he would be glad to see it
tCibom dishonor."
All, that's an important qualifications
But is that all!
No. He would be glad to see it, Nth

Better yet! Is that all!
Not e-x-a-c-t-l-y. He "would be glad
to see it, udhom dishoaor, rCahom wdr, AND
uih the common consent Of the Caion.'
Better and better! As want to get the
tchole truth, I'll make one more effort Has
Mr.. Clay any other objection to the pro-
ject!
Yes, he has. He says, also, thatit must
be done "upoa JUST and FAIR terms"
Very well.
And farther, that he "believes that Ma
tioual dishonor, foreign war, and distraction
and division at home, are too great sacrli-
ces to make for the acquisition of Texas"
Does Mr.. Clay say all this!
lie does.
And do YOU believe that Texas can EV-
Err be annexed "wthout dishonor, with
out war, with the common consent of the
Union, and upon just and fair terms!"
Then iRno erem can Mr.. Clay be regard
ed as the friend of AnnexatiOn; and hope
you will not be guilty again of such injus-

taken by him in his first letter. He is the
consistent opponent of the Annexation
scheme.
