~ The National Iutelligencer says that the
good effect of the postage reduction Is already
being deeply felt. The amount Of letter cores
pondence has increased throughout the Union
probably 100 per cent. since l945; while news
papers, which under the 3 cent law were almost
excluded from the mails, are now wingng their
way in every direction from friend TO friend. If
it were but Tor its moral eect-even if the treas
ury were TO suffer in the end-cheap postage,
and the cheaper the better, would be blessing ;
a vast inca cuabe blessing.

FACTS VS.. FICTION.

"lf, as we hope may be the case, a union on
principle can be effected between all who unite
IN the belief that this administration is identified
,oith The Slave po,Oer," &C. Burlington Courier.
This idea, that the present administration is
identified with the Slave power, is altogether the
greatest joke of the season, and ought to have
been perpetrated on the first OF April. Let lis
recall few facts:
The President, in his inaugural, distinctly a.
vowed the Anti-Veto policy. AS consequence
the Slavery question is lett 10 Congress, in which
Free Soil has an undoubted majority, if the 10.
cos, who now claim to be free SOIL arc honest
In fact, the administration thereby throws this
question into the hands of the North. That is
whit the Courier calls Identification with the
Slave Power, is it? Cass and the Veto woulc
be genuine Free Soilism then.
Again: in the Cabinet are found men who have
voted for the Wilmot proviso, and others who un
questlonably entertain like views. CT the frs
class are Clayton and Collamer, and of the las
Ewing and Meredith, making a majority of the
Cabinet, That, We suppose, is another evidence
of the correctness Of The Courler's POSITION
Just reverse that-put in Cass and cabinet O
known Slavocrats and dough-iaces; it will b.
admirable Free Soilism of the Courier stamp
probably.
Still again: in other appointments, from for
eign ministers TO clerks and postmasters, tn,
Wings of the North, known advocates OF tn,
Wilmot provso, are as freely favored as South
ern men nay, abuses of power by the locofoc'
Slavocrats in office are promptly corrected

A Nut for the Free Sellers.

George w. Cutler, postmaster at Wheeling,
Va, who, through his deputy, recently refused
TO deliver an Ohio paper tnged with Free Soil,
has been removed by Gen. Taylor, and good
Wing, James Il. Wharton, The former editor of
the Wheeling Times, has been appointed. Serv-
ed him right.
We suppose the Courier and the coaliionsls
would have kept Mr. Cutler snugly in his post
to refuse 10 deliver free soil newspapers The
Courier calls this the Slaughter House admin
istration."
Finally; throughout the South, the locofoco
Slavocrats oppose the administration because it
is not Slavocratic, and openly threaten Nulifca-
cation and Disunion if the Proyiso is carried !;
while the Southern Wings just as openly de-
clare for the Union, Proylso or No Proviso.
Such are the facts from which the Courier
draws it's conclusions, or else 1t makes asser-
tions without facts. 1t can take either horn OF
the dilemma.
