This is tho official law. Published BY suihoi-

lt will be seen. il enacis that all newspapers ure
free except those sent from the Office Of pubica-
lioni that IN no case prepayment be demanded
except iOr circulars and handbills Of one sheei
each. No provision ofihe old law changed ex-
cept for circulars and handbills as are composed
Of ono sheet each.
This law, as we have mentioned, has Just been
published. To show 10 what extent the POST
master General has carried his outrageous yio-
alions Of this law, before It's publication. we
copy the following from his circular Of inslruc-
fdons issued on the 18th Of March, niue days al-
ter the adjournment Of Congress. Il will be re-
collected thai he had the law before him official
ly al thai tm
Q. TraHSeieHt Newspapers, (he says or those
not sent from the Office Of publication to subscri
bers, handbills or circular letters printed or Ih.
ographed, not exceeding one sheet in size, will
pay three cents upon delivery at the Office, and
before they are put in the mails, and all such
will be charged by deputy postmasters as pre-
paid-mailcr in the way bills, and upon lheiI
accounts Of mails sent, aud stamped or marked
"pad," with the name Of the Office from which
sent.
The Postmaster General here directs the fol
lowing gross violations:
lst. That uanscient newspapers, or those no
sent from the office ofpublcalion to subscribers
shall be subject to three cents postage. The Law
says, that newspapers not sent from the Office o
publication are excepted from payment Of pos
lage, and in. no case demands prepayment o
postage upon them, whether sent by publisher
or others.
Cd. The Postmaster General directs the post
master to demand postage on all papers not sen
to subscribers from the office Of publication.
This is another usurpaton. The law doe
! not require as will be seen above, that newspa
lpers shall be sent 10 subscribers. Neither III
word nor the substance ofthe law authorizes an
such exaclion. 1t is a gratuitous usurpaton
then. Let the reader compare the law an
the instructions, and he will justify our conclu
sons.
And now the public will ask for remedy; ant
fihey will act, they will have it speedily. lie
every postmaster who wilhholds a newspape
not sent from the office Of publication, be requir
ed to deliver the paper free and in case of reiu
sal, let him be prosecuted before a justice of tn
peace for the paper. Whenever Il paper is sen
from the office OF publication, and more than tn,
old rates are demanded, let the postmaster b.
prosecuted in the same manner.
Let every postmaster who refuses to recey,
newspaper be also prosecuted before justic,
of the peace, and VIC shall soon see whether Mr.
Cave Johnson is to make laws, or whether they
are TO be passed by Congress.
The newspapers of the interior, by circulatin;
this article extensively will soon put stop TO iht
general system of imposition upon the newspa
per press.

public, fought many battles, and went on conquer.
ing and to conquer. But what have we gained!
We have rayished their ciles, pillaged their
coasls, laId waste their lorms, and took posses
sion of their towns and villages. We have cor
ruPted the morals of her people, made war upon
her churches, destroyed the lives of her men,
and shot down her women and children in the
streets of her cities. We have blockaded her
Ports, laid contributions upon her people, crippled
her resources, and commued all olhcracls which
a successful army, governed by lust or patriotism,
may see proper TO commit. But what have we
effected by all these yctoriesl So far as ap.
pearances 60, we are further from securing peace
Than we were year ago. All our victories have
failed TO terminate the war. We have gained
the hatred and contempt Of people to whom re-
venge is virtue, and who are deaf to the voice
of mercy. This is the only thing we have ac.
cOmPlished, aRd this is the triumph of war.
On the Oykr hand, we have relieved the dis,
tresses of people Than whom none can be more
grateful Tho will eagerly seize upon every op'
pOrtunity 10 return the favor. We have secured
The lasting friendship and confidence, the goOt
will and heartfelt generosity Of warm hearted
generous people; and the admiration Of The whole
world. And this is a triumph Of peaSe.
Such have been our triumphs within the las
year. Let our statesmen ponder them well; le
the whole people examine them minutey; lie
them reflect upon the consequences that have fol
lowed, and always must follow such opposite
measures;-that The Mexican war has enlaileC
debt upon the country that it will take genera
lions TO pay, and that its termination will, proba
bly,, be the signal for the commencement of in
ternal hoslilies, that will shake the foundation,
not entirely prosraleIhe fair fabric of our nation
al Union;-that all this has been brought abou
by the corruptions and Vaccinations of The maj
that occupies the Presidential chair and the myr
midons that soar in his sunshine, and then say
whether he and his satellites are worthy Of fur
ther confidence and support.
