The Albany Express, the organ of the Clay division
of The wing party thus reads the stars in Mr. Clays
letter to Mr.. Brooks:
"Mr Clay's letter to James Brooks has created
quite brisk stir among Mr. C.'s friends in this quar-
ter Is it not little singular that they should feel
much greater degree of socitude about that part Of
the letter which is expressed thus
than they do about the substance of the extracts pub
lshed by Mr.. Brooks? Like the old rat that saw the
white heap, they are suspicious that there is some
thing under the stars that would, if printed, SOW thu
seeds Of whrwind of some sort, and they are there
fore extremely anxious to see what Mr.. Clay says
bout the Philadelphia nominations. So they mean t.
keep the ball rolling for CLAY and Fillmore, despt
the positive declaration of Mr.. Clay, that he neitle
has nor will give countenance or encouragement t
any movement to bring his name before the public

from time to time, and the soft dews of our mercy,
SO otter exercised IN his behalf, may have pro-
duced sautary effect. If so, we shall rejoice.
The country will rejoice. The business commu-
nifty especially will rejoice. But we have our
doubts.
Several months ago, plan for the free delivery
of letters, and for the improvement of the mail
system IN this city, was submitted to the Post
master General, by gentleman of much ex peril
ence in post-ofiice business, and who for several
years has devoted himself TO the study of the SUBJ
ject. This scheme, which struck at the root of
the many evils of the present system, was in ef-
feet as follows:-
l. The gentleman making the proposal would
contract to deliver, free of charge. all mails, do
nestle and foreign, to their address IN this city,
three or four times day in the business portions,
and twice day, oftener if requisite in the up
per part.
q To deliver drop letters for one cent each, if
Congress consent to reduce the postage to that
rate.
3. To furnish, at his own expense, all boxes,
pouches, wagons, and other articles necessary for
the safe keeping and delivery of letters
A. To establish several Offices in different parts
Of the city, where letters intended for the mails
may be deposited, and whence it should be the
duty of the carriers to take them daily to the post
office, free of expense
g. The persons employed by the contractor to
assist in opening and asserting the mails In the
posoffice for the purpose of securing greater de-
spatch in the delivery of letters
The conditions on which this contract would be
undertaken are as follow:
That the Post Office Department pay the con-
tractor annually, for ten years, an amount equal to
the loss it sustained in lS47 dead letters return.
ed from the New York Post Office, and for adver-
Using the same; that Is to say, about $4,000;
and, in addition, should hand over to him the
amount of postage received from drop letters.
which, as before said, he would have reduced to
one cent. THE amount received at the Post
Office in this city, in lS47 for drop letters, was
1887 53.]
This plan, if practlcable-and Of its feasibility
we are disposed to Judge favoraby, from the expe
rience and intelligence of the gentleman who
would undertake the contract-would be most
beneficial In Its operation. Why has not the Post
master General gwen it trial Z! Or, why does he
not adopt some plan which may facilitate the busl-
ness correspondence of this, the greatest and most
important and, to the general government, the
most lucrative city in the Union +!
We shall wait most anxlously, and record most
cheerfully, any sign of Improvement we may OBJ
serve in the views or policy of Cave Johnson.
Meantime, we shall suffer- with as much patience
as possible, the evils we at present groan under
We shall again try what mldness effect.
