RATE OF POSTAGE.

we'd principle in this Department. tina.
its expenses should be always kept with
in the income furnished by postage, and
all exertions at the improvement and
extension of the service are to be limi.
ted to, and fall within such receipts
The opinion of the community, wi,hou.
the Department, is believed to be, that
the General Post Office. being for the
dissemination of intelligence and ad.
vancement of business, is not a proper
subject of taxation--that no burlhen for
public service should lean upon il, and
that the rate of postage should only b
such as will pay the expense of the care

on which the postage is laid. These
views are in no way incompatible, ane
NAV both be successfully regarded pro

The Clarksyille and California Association

In another column Of this weeks paper will be
found the Articles of Association Of the Clarks-
vile company. We publish it, that the companies
forming throughout the country may have the
benefit of the considerations and arrangements of
the spirited proprietors of this company. All
will admit the necessity of a perfect organization
into companies, before the emgrants can venture
upon the unsettled regions between here and Cali
fornia.
Some persons ignorant of the nature Of the en-
terprize, conceive that all they have TO do is 10
hitch up a wagon, and go along with some one of
the companies that leave. How much they are
mistaken-no person will be permitted to travel
in company with any of the parties unless be be-
longs to and martial law will be enforced rig
they have the right to avail themselves of the ad-
vanlages of the military escort, furnished by the
government. Yes they may enjoy that right, but
in doing SO, they will be compelled 10 come under
the military organization and control of the troops.
No party of troops emigrants will permit any
straggIer TO camp within its chain of sentinels.
Therefore, with these facts before them, those
persons who were calculating upon 1Oringing in
upon the emigration, will see their arrangements,
at once, blasted, and the necessity of joining some
one of the companies.
We learn that the Clurksville company will
incorporate another section in their Articles; IN
substance, that no person or persons, not belong.
ing to an organized company, shall be allowed to
come within one days travel of their camp.
This company has progressed farther in its or
ganization and preparation than any we know of;
and it is composed of of the most intelligent
and en,erprsing spirits in Arkansas. Redtno nd
Rogers, ESQ., and Doctor G. Mitchell, have been
passing several days in our town, making further
arrangements In regard to their departure. They
expect TO be here, with the party, on The last Sat
urday in March.
May success attend their enterprise. and their
brightest anticipations be realized. Along with
this company will 60 many of our most substantial
and worthy citizens, whose departure would be a
loss IN orx, Sfoxe.
