So the amendmet was coRcurTed an.
The ndefensible iniquity ofthis proposition is e1-
hibited on it's face Postmasters advertise their re-
spectve Lists of Letters uncaed for expressly that
the persons addressed shall be made aware OF the
fact that such letters await their call Large sums
of money are distracted from the Treasury to pay
for this advertising 1t is Of course most important
alike 10 the Post Office and its customers, that the
letters shall be advertised in journals having the lar
gest circulation This the law OF l545 secures
But Loco Focoism interferes repeal this act,
and throw us back on the old state Of things under
which the Lists Of Letters in this city were for years
withheld from journals circulating from 10000 to
10000 copies daily and given to those which did
not circulate 1000 Such was the general practice
The good OF the Party the Postmas,er's pr
vate pique or personal interest allowed to
rule the public welfare and will be again if this
becomes law. A vote to take 100000 out Of the
Treasury and divide it among the presses most ser
vile in their devotion TO the Executive would be far
less exceptonabe and injurious than that Of the 81
above recorded VIII their constituents ask them
to explain it
We have waited long time for a chance TO
approve some act of Hon VIM B. Maclay Of this
city 1t has come at last The fact that but 9th
er Loco Foco from this nor indeed from any Free
State saw fit to vote as his conscience must have
dictated enhances the merit Of Mr. Maclays vote
I on this question.
