SIR: The Postmaster General, after careful con-
sderation of the question 70 the right Of postmas
ters, that have the privilege of ranking, TO frank
letters TO publishers Of newspapers covering money
for subscriptions or the names OF subscribers has
decided that when the postmaster is agent for the
publisher he has the power to frank such letters,
and his agency will be presumed from the fact that
he franks them. As no postmaster has any au-
thority TO frank these communications but when he
is such agent il is proper to regard him acting
in that capacity when he conducts, until nforma
ton il received 10 the contrary In doing this bust
ness, the postmaster must be regarded as entirely
the agent of the publisher and not Of the depart
ment. Very respectfully, &c,

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.


OWING to the late revolutions and counter rcvo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "he end is not yet," the leading peri
odicals OF Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They &C.
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disioint-
ed and necessarily imperfect records Of the news-
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatses to
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered to
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. "Backwood" and the 90 London Quar-
terly'' are Tory; the " Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review Liberal. The
" North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments of human knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now since his
death, is conducted by his SON. in-law Dr. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is of the very highest order. The "West
Minister though reprinted under that title only is
published in England under the title of the ss For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" il being, in
fact, union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. II has, there
fore, the advantage by this combination of uniting
in work the best features of both as heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals. are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam.

This is all that shall say at present. / make no
objection TO the reception or printing Of these
lutions. My only object at present is TO make and
the two points, first, that tho General Assem-
bly, mistook the sentiments of the people Of Missouri
in adopting these resolutions; secondly, that they
mistook their own powers in doing 30.
MIR. ATCHISON said that, the printing of the
resolutions was not objected to, he would simply
make one remark. IL was that. when the proper
time comes, the people of Missouri will show TO all
mankind that these resolutions adopted by the Gen
eral Assembly, and every word of them, sus-
tanned by the people of that State.
Mr.. SEWARD renewed his motion to print the
resolutions submitted by Messrs. CAss and FooTE.
Mr. FOOTE said that he hoped the motion to print
his resolution was not dictated by any desire to en-
barrass its consideration, by afording greater ia
cility of offering amendments, which would have
that effect.
Mr. HALE offered an amendment to the resolu-
ton, and wished that it might be printed with the
resolution. The amendment was To the effect that
Congress should secure 10 the people of the Terrific
ries all the peace, happiness, and privileges enjoyed
by the people inhabiting the northwest territory,
for which they were indebted to the Ordinance Of
l767.
Mr.. FOOTE had not thought it necessary to in
sert in this resolution the language contained in
the amendment just offered; but Nc felt satisfied
that the Senator from New Hampshire would,
in few days, see that the people OF the Territories
were determined to enjoy all the rights and priui
leges Of freemen, and would never submit to the
yoke which it was designed to fasten upon them.
Mr.. HALE rejoiced that the Senator from Missis-
sippi and himself agreed upon one thing, and that
that agreement of sentiment the taking off the
yoke from the necks of freemen. The general OBJ
ect therefore, Of the Senator from Mississippi and
himself was the same, Though, perhaps they might
differ when they came to carry their object into ex-
ecution He knew that his friends would rejoice
when he told them that the Senator from Mississippi,
with his wisdom, experience, and ability, was about
to come TO their aid in relieving the oppressed In
sustaining the weary, and to strike off the Jokes
which now were bearing down the necks of free
men.
The printing was then ordered.

then, after short Executive session,
