The REPORT OF THE PosTMAsrER-GEN-
ERAL.-1he Albany Evening journal gives the
following summary of the contents of the Re-
port OF the Postotiee Department, just made to
Congress
This report more than confirms the hopes Of
the early friends Of cheap postage The system,
as far rs 1t has been tried, works admirably
Still further reductions are recommended, and
are practicable.
The Post-otliee revenue under the reduced
rates is rapidly increasing, and amounted during
the last fiscal year TO S447l, 077; exceeding the
annual average Of the nine wears Immediately
preceding the passage OF the reducing act, SO :
sos, anu exceeding the revenue Immediately
preceding the last, S425,ls4.
The letter postage amounted to $3.50 S04,
exceeding that OF the previous year S295,s9l
The newspaper hostages amounted to S767,.
334, being an increase Of Si2I,I74.
The report next proceeds to set forth the con-
dition and operations Of the department in re-
lation to the steamer mail service.
Among the most prominent recommendations
which it sets forth, are these To make the rate
Of postage uniform for letters at cents the hall
ounce for newspapers at one cent the ounce ;
for periodicals, cents the ounce; and for for.
eign letters, 10 cents the halfounee the total
abolition of the franking privilege the pre-.
payment of all mail matter and lastly. a
change in the tenure of the Office of the Post.

81 The Postmaster Generals Report proves
the benefcent effect of reduction of postage.
That officer has been most strenuous opponent
of this reduction, and is forced to record the fall
sity of his own predictions His rccommenda-
tons we do not approve, for it is no longer a
problem that the reduction of postage will pro-
duce the same results here as in England, and
in that country, uniform postage of one penny
on each half ounce letter, brings large revenue,
after paying the expenses of the Department.
There is no reason, that We can perceive, why
the same rates of postage will not produce the
same results here.

The MESSAGE ON WAR.-To affect an aver.
sion to War yet to culogize and glorify War, is
exactly in character with the essential insincer-
lily and hypocrisy of the author of the Kane letter.
Blood on his hands, and Scripture on his lips"
Nobody ever confessed to a love of War for its
own sake-it is always commenced and justified
on some pretence of indemnity, OF security. or
wounded honor. Any fair mind must realize
that If these pretexts are sufficient to justify our
invasion and conquest of nearly all Mexico, with
our ultimate retention Of one third OF its area as
the legitimate "spoils of victory" then there can
never be lack of pretext for any War what
ever; and rulers will 60 on preaching peace and
cutting threats canting about "beneicent
Providence" and scattering broadcast the limbs
and brains OF women and children-until the
coming of the general conaagration, which ought
not, under such auspices, to be very long delay
ed No Cesar, no Bonaparte, ever put forth a
manifesto more completely calculated to aiffuse
and inflame the War spirit, than this very Polk

Mn WEBSTER AND GEN. TAYLoR.-Thcre
is good story in circulation in the city, respect
ing Mr. Webster and Gen. Taylor, which is worth
publishing II is said that Mr. Webster sent a
Copy of his Marshfeld speech to Gen. Taylor,
and since the election has received letter from
the old General acknowledging the receipt of the
speech. In regard to the expression of MIR Web
ster-that tho nomination Of Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency was one not fit to be made, the Gen.
eral says he was very much Of Mr. Websters
opinion, at the time of the nomination but now
thinks that since the people of the United States
are of different mind, it may be best for both
himself and Dir Webster to revise their opinions !

hT' We believe II was JuniuS who declared
that the idea of man being the worst eneml
of his friends, involved an absurdity, and was
solecism Of language. In this age, however, a
in that of Junius, the Frequency of the fac
makes the expression Ineligible" as any ont
may see who looks often--and who does not P
into the columns of the democrat"
lie processes to be the ardent champion O
"free soil" but could not conceal the fact thai
il was only device to secure democratic rs
ceDdancy for all time to come, and this brought
even Stree soil" into contempt. He comes for
ward now, like his prototype of old, ''Don Quix-
otte," to defend the recently appointed Postmas-
ter Of this village, who has never been attacked,
and in so doing opens whole budget Of secrets,
which are calculated to be anything but service
able to his friends, and may provoke disclosures
that might otherwise remain unnoticed and un-
known.
We referred to the recent change of Post
master here, as part Of a system having for its
object and motive the punishment by the Ad-
ministration of those Of its party who dared to
vote the "frec soil" ticket. In the simplicity of
sion for the weaker party in this family quarrel,
and seeing "ifee soil" friends fairly on their
backs, and in the way of being guillotined by
their former friends, we rendered them our sym
PATTY, and generously, as we imagined, took up
the cudgels in their behalf
We have met pretty much the same return in
this case as we did once from an Irishman's wife,
for interfering to prevent her husband from beat
ing her. While we were parrying his blows aim
ed at her, she let US have it with broom stick
over the head.
So with the Stree soilers." We heard of the
victims in Middlebury, ST. Adams, and in other
parts Of the country, and finally in our own vii
lage, and reprobated, as they ought to be, such
disgraceful practices in the Democratic family.
Who would have thought that the Stree soil
Democrat would have risen up to justify the
decapitation of its friends, and abuse those who
took their part?
Can it be that the "Democrat" is turning
States evidence, and sacrificing his friends in
order to secure a free pardon for himself?
But the Democrat informs Us with an official
air, that the late appointment was rase, kind
of back-door operation, by which Mr. Polk saves
the Wings of this town the task of selecting a
"good Taylor Wing" for Postmaster. He is Ger.
tainly very Kind and it is favor that the Wings
of this town will know how TO appreciate-pro-
vided it is true, of which we have some doubts,
notwithstanding the assertion of the democrat"
Our remarks have reference only to the sys-
