| Io'Ue Editors Of tie american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN The I'd section of the new post
age law, after prescribing the rates chargeable
upon newspapers not exceeding three ounces
in weight, sent to actual and bona-fde subscri-
bers," provides:
"And there shall be charged upon every
other newspaper, and each circular not sealed
handbill, engraving, pamphlet, periodical, mag
azine, book, and every other description of
printed matter, which shall be unconnected
with any manuscript or written matter, and
which it may be lawful to transmit through
the mall of no greater weight than one ounce,
for any distance not exceeding 500 miles, one
cent" ....
1t would seem that the true intent and mean
ing of the foregoing is, that there shall be
charged upon '.every. other newspaper" for
any distance under 500 miles, one cent; and
also, upon "each circular not sealed, handbill, ~
&C., &C., of no greater weight than one ounce
one cent for the same distance and careful
| reading OF the section will scarce warrant any
other construction. The comma after the word
" newspaper" {" and the words which Immediately
follow-"and each circular not sealed" &c.
evidently fix the amount to be charged upon all
other than subscribers newspapers at one cent
for the distance specified, and that to be paid
upon oil other printed matter therein enume-
rated, at one cent per ounce
If any thing else is intended, the individual
who drafted this section wns peculiarly unhappy
in his phraseology; for it would have been an
easy matter to have said, "every other news.

An immense crowd at the National Hall
Theatre, on Saturday night, gave substantial
benefit to Miss DAVENPORT, and greeted her per.
Torrance with admring plaudits. That cndur.
ing five act comedy of the School for Scandal
was selected for the occasion. Miss DAvEr-
PORT, as Lady Teazle, evinced as ready an ap-
probation and aptitude for the character, as we
ever recollect having witnessed. The concep
ton of an unsophisticated young countrywoman
united to man almost "basted with an
tquty," but of courtly distinction, suddenly
translated amidst all the arts and refinements of
court and city life--her volatile disposition lead
ing her, bewildered. into It's fashionable frivol.
ties--endangering her virtue by its scductions-
recovering her senses, and quitting its Influences
as its corruptions becaste palpable--was most
successfully represented and the changes of
each scene wildly portrayed. Mr.. GrLBrRr's
personation of Sir Peter, could scarcely have
been improved; and the principal pcrsonages
were all admirably sustained.
But we were yet more pleased with the repre-
scntation of the drama Of Lore's Sacrifice" on
Friday night The depth Of filial devotion and
strength Of love in the heroine-the contendine
feelings Of remorse and parental affection in Sir
Hnffhev-and the miscry, ustful, and revenge.

A Model National whiR.

TIE New York Commercial Advertiser, in its
comments on the speech Of Senator Beekman
explaining his reasons for frustrating the cleo
ton of Mr.. Fish, makes some curious revela-
tons, which we give below
1t will be seen that this laudcd paragon OF
national Wings, in l849 and 80, voted for
strong Free-soil and Proviso resolutions
We do not, in fact, see necessity for such
comment on any part of the speech, believing
that it may be left to the readers Judgment
whether the senator has made justification for
his vote. Perhaps for right understanding Of
his position with respect TO Sewardism"-
feelings towards Mr.. Seward cannot be misun.
derstood--it should be mentioned that in the
assembly in ls4o, Mr. Beekman voted for
strong Frce-sol and anti-slavery resolutions
and that in the senate, in 1850, he voted to in
struct our United States senators to "use their
best efforts to prohibit, by positive enactment,
the extension Of slavery over any part of such
territory, however small, and by whatever pre-
tence Of compromise"
1t will be seen that the senator from the fifth
district, says that he promised to vote for Hem
lton Fish if the Legislature would pass Mr.. Var
nuns resolutions. We cannot see how that
would effect the qualifications of Mr.. Fish for
United States senator; but the declaration has
significance which the intelligent reader will
comprehend. We have said enough on this
whole question recently, or we might show the
injustice--to say nothing of the impolcy, sup
posing the majority have spark Of indepen-
dence---of any cndeavor on the part Of the mi
nority to force the majority into any given line
Of action by such course, seeing that it in

right TO have two senators in the Senate cham
