Mr.. Johnson states that the reduction ia the rates Of
postage has produced so great an increase Of business
that the revenues will soon equal those received under
the former rates and Obvious entirely his fierce
opposition IN the reduction principle, he says
sit is gratifying to find, that within so short a peri
cd Of the great reduction Of postage, the revenues o
the department have increased much beyond the ex
~pectations of the friends Of the cheap postape system
while the expenditures for the same time have dimin
ished more than half a million of dollars annually an,
that the department is in a condition to sustain itseI
without aid from the treasury.
The Postmaster suggests several reasons why tn
income of the department has not been greater, an
makes some recommendations, which are given belo'
entire. His ideas upon newspaper postage can onl
be accounted for by the fact that he was raised in
country where few or no papers were printed, and h
has not yet discovered their use or utility =

THE WAR-Treason.

In his speech in reply to Mr.. Benton,
who charged him with being the author of
the war, Mr.. Calhoun made the following
reasonable remarks
Every measure towards the accomplishment Of
annexation had been consumated before the
present administration came into power. No
war followed. although the act Of annexation had
been completed more than year before the rup.
ture between US and Mexico took place, nor
would war have followed at all had we acted
with ordinary prudence. That Mexico was
chafed, chagrined. that she threatened much and
clustered much; talked about war and even the
existence Of hostlities-are all true. 1t was,
however, but talk. The strong should always
permit the weak and aggrieved TO talk, to blus!er
and scold, without taking offence; and, if We had
so acted, and exercised proper skill in the man.
agement OF our affairs, Mexico and ourselves
would, by this time, have quietly and peaceably
settled all difficulties, and been good friends.-
We have chosen to pursue the opposite course,
and are in war.
Every senator knows that am opposed to the
war, but none knows but myself the depth Of that
opposition. With my conceptions OF its charac.
ter and consequences. it was impossible for me
to vote for it. When accordingly, was deserted
by every friend on this side OF the house, ncu>
ding my then honorable colleague, among the
rest, [Mr. McDuffie,l was not shaken in the
least degree in reference to my course. On the
passage OF the act recognizing the war, said TO
many Of my friends that deed had been done
from which the country would not be able to
recover for long time, if ever; and added, it has
dropped curtain between the present and the
future, which 10 me is impenelrable; and for the
first time since have been in bublic life. am
unable to see the future. also added that it has
closed the first volume Of our political history
under the constitution, and opened the second,
and that no mortal could tell what would be
written in it. These deep impressions were made
upon my mind, because sa,c, from the circum-
stances under which the toar toas made, a total
departure from the course of policy ,chich had
governed the country from the commencement o.
our government until that time; and that, too,
under circumstances calculated to lead to most
disastrous consequences. Since then, less than
year has elapsed, but in that short period enough
has already been developed to make what was
then satd look like prophecy
But the senator charges, entertaining as did
these impressions, that did not take stand,
and arrest the march Of Gen. Taylor TO the Rio
del Norte, have already stated the reasons on
another occasion why did not, and however un-
satisfactory they may be to the senator, they are
satisfactory to myself, and doubt not they will be
to the community at large. He also animated
that ought to have communicated my views to
the President. | was guilty Of no neglect in
that respect did not fail to state in the lproper
quarter explicitly what thought would result
from the order given to Gen. Taylor, but found
very different views from mine entertained there.

GEN. TAYLoR's PoLfTrcs.--A gentleman
who was with the army last summer, on the
Rio Grande, had occasion frequently TO call
on Gen. Taylor, and in moments Of leisure.
the cause Of the Mexican war, &C., was
topic Of conversation. II is known to all
acquainted with Gen. Taylor, that he con-
verses freely upon any subject introduced
there seems to be no concealment in his
composition. During one Of his visits, a
gentleman Of Mississippi was introduced as
the Hon. Mr.. M. of that State, he being a
member of the State Senate. After few
minutes of general conversation, our friend
remarked, II see by the late papers, your
friends are proposing you for the Presiden-
cy." "Yes," said Gen. Taylor, 81 am sorry
to see il; l have always thought, and still
think, ciUilian, and none other, ought 10

than to bring this war to an honorable
close. and then 60 to my farm, and there.

would, however, have voted at the last
Presidential election for Mr. Clay, if 1
could have done so--because | believe him
to be not only wise Statesman and good
man but. | had some constitutional doubts
upon the annexation Of Texas"
Our friend remarked. II have understood.
General. that you have said you were here
as the officer of your Government, and
asked no questions as 10 the right or wrong
of this war;" The old General, with much
animation replied
Between my government and foreign
nation, never ask question; MY Gov
ERNMENT is ALWAYS RIGHT"
This pure, patriotic and lofty sentiment,
put an end to all queries. As soldier,
Gen. Taylor, would lbe pardoned for thus
hiding from view. all the errors or deficien.
cies of his Government.
In history there are not recorded moro

ment being "always right" when the ques-
ton is between his own and foreign one,
is far more patriotic and enlightened than
Perry's celebrated sentiment,--" Our coun-
try, right or wrong" Will not those who
have so industrousy abused Gen. TAYLOR,
in thel Senate and House of Representa-
tives at Washington, regret their course,
when they read Gen. Taylor's own senti.
ments regarding the Presidency Had
they let him aone--sustained him as Com
mander-n- Chief of the Army. he would
at the conclusion of his duties, have retired
to his farm, but the persecution he has re-
ceved from his political enemies, forces
the people to vindicate his fair fame, against
the aspersions of his enemies, by bestow-
ing upon him the highest office in their
gift. Thus it is, that the political enemies
of the greatest military hero of our nation
have forced him into the Presidency.-[Ba .

SPRING

The advent Of the vernal month seems
not to be tardy, although it comes 10 us
over fields Of untrodden snow, and is ush.
cred in by the merry peals OF sleighbeIls.
We perceived that change had come over
the spirit Of old winter, on taking pleasant
drive a day or two since. The sound Of
the bells, mingled in thousand harmonious
cadences, went up on the rarifed atmos
phere with melower and more musical
sound than when Johus tried to keep pace
with, or get start Of Jack Frost as he trav
elled on the winds over the creaking snow.
track. The breath OF the Frost King is
growing mild, like last sigh. All the sharp
angles Of the rough winds are smoothed
away; and, although it blows seemingly
with as good will as ever, it is modest,
good. na,ured, full.mou,hed blast, which
strikes US broadside like, and not edge wise,
as formerly, causing the ears TO Jingle, and
the cheeks TO blush, whenever it gained &C.
cess through our muflles.
We hail the spring with joy, for it comes
like harbinger Of returning health to nature,
so long clothed in the heavy garments oil
win,er-like the tidings OF freedom to the
captive, end hope to the fugitive. We bid
the hoary crown of winter farewell without
regret, but not spiteiully, for his reign has
been one Of gladness, and gayety has flour
ished with liberality which shall preserve
his memory until the bright flowers and
green fields lead our thoughts to cline
where winter never comes and Joys are
new.--Ab. Eue. Jour.
