REDUCTION OF POSTAGE.

Extract of a letter from gentleman living in
the Western part OF Virginia
"We are all becoming alarmed in this section
of the State, in consequence OF the great clamor
at the North for the reduction of postage, and
think petitions will be sent from here, praying
Congress to pause and re feet, before il adopts
the system so strenuously, and, think, incon-
sderalely urged, by some of our Eastern breth-
rem.
"Under the present system, every county IN
the respective States, has more or less post
offices, located at convenient and reasonable
distances, and by paying what has heretofore
been regarded moderate postage, we can get our
letters and papers without Inconvenience +; but
if the postage is reduced 10 5 or 10 cents, the
General Post Office will be slaughtered in
its means, that thousands of routes will be
discontinued, and we poor mountaineers shall be
cut off al ogether from the benefits of the mails.
.'Y on are aware that the commissions OF Post
masters, in most of the offices, are now exceed
ingly small; and hence it is with difficulty we
can induce respectable and responsible men TO
hold the offices. Reduce their commissions, say
two thirds, and take away their ranking privi-
lege, and tell me, il yeu can, who will take
charge of such Offices, if the routes should even
be continued, which, contend, cannot, and
will not, be done.
"There ae now nearly fourteen thousand
Offices, one half of which must be abolished,
| if the proposed reduction takes place, and we
shall be compelled TO send twenty and thirty
miles TO receive, or mail, letter. Rather than
submit To such stale of things we would gladly
pay a dollar where we now pay ten or twelve
cents
"Gentlemen residing on the great routes,
where steamboats, and railroad cars are passing
to and fro daily, may imagine II Is to their inle-
rest (Which | am prepared to demonstrate is
mott to have The postage reduced TO five cents
but we, who live hundreds of miles of the great
routes, should consider it The greatest calamity
the National Legislature could inhict on

which seems TO hive seized a portion OF The
