Postage Reform.

The New York Cheap Postage Association
held n meeting in that city OH the 18TH
The leading editors and business men in the
city took part in it.
The following preamble and resolutions
were read and adopted.
WHEREAS, it has been the policy Of Con-
gross since the formation of our Govern
ment, to encourage the diffusion of knowl-
edge hy fixing the postage at the lowest pos
sibe rates, consistent with the support of
the Post Office Department; and, whereas
at the first establishment of the government,
newspapers were sent free of postage, and
afterwards when taxed with postage, it has
been comparatively ut so low n rate MS not to
be felt MS burthen.
| And, whereas, AT the last session, Congress
departed from this liberal policy heretofore
pursued, 10y passing an act which has in
creased the postage on newspapers, pcrodi-
Gals and printed matter 10 an extent which
amounts almost TO prohibition ;and, where
as, the rates are not only burihensomp. but
so complicated, that few persons are able to
understand what postage they are required to
, pay; and, whereas, said act, or so much of
! it rs relates to the postage on newspapers,
periodicals and printed matter, is particular
| ly burihensome and obnoxious to the people;
inasmuch as il retnrds the diffusion of knowl-
edge through the medium of the press
therefore,
/ Resolved, That the rates Of postage on
newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets aud all
other printed matter, should he uniform and
cheap, so that any person may understand
what he has TO pay, and so low that the pos
! tage should not he felt ns bnrthensone tax.
Resolved, That the postage on newspapers
should not exceed uniform rate of one cent
| TO any part of the Union, aud the postage
on periodicals and other printed matter, one
cent an ounce, allowing publishers, who
desire 10 prepay the postage, fifty per cent.
discount.
Resolved, That n committee Of seven por-
sons he appointed to prepare a hill aud peti-
ton in conformity with these views, TO be
presented 10 Congress at the next session,
and to adopt such measures as they may deem
eXpedient 10 relieve The people and the press
from the present burtheusome aud obnoxious
tax on knowledge.
Resolved, That the delegation from this
rily be earnestly requested 10 hiring this sub
iect Immediately before Congress, and to use
their best eXerions to effect the passage of n
bill reducing the rates Of postage on news
papers, periodicals and other printed matter,
so that the evils now felt mny be removed.
Resolved, That we recommend TO our fell
low citizens generally, aud especially to pub
lshers, editors, and printers, in other towns
and cities of the Union, to call public meet
ings, and prepare petitions to Congress urging
upon that body the necessity Of an immediate
modification of the law in relation to the
postage on newspapers, periodicals and other
printed matter.

POligamy an Obstacle 10 thc Gospel,

Mr.. Tyler writing from Esidunhini, South
Africa, March 81, gives picture of poliga-
my, "thc monster aud darling sin" of the
Zulu people, from which it may he seen
how much our brethren there "need heav-
cnly Wisdom aud grace in their cndcuyors
to uproot this giant evil.
"Omly short distance from our house
are twelve large kraals, the number of huts
in each indicating the number of wives in
tho possession of their owners; for MS fast
MS u man accumulates wives hc builds huts
for their accommodation. In one of
these kranls are ten huts, one OF which is
occupied by the chief man, aud the others
10y his nine wives. This man, in all probn-
bhiiy, designs 10 purchase more wives I;
aud TO this end he will exchange his daugh-
ters for cows ns fast rs they become mar

from us has twenty wives which believe is
the largest number in the possession of any
one among these subjugaicd tribes. lie of
course is considered 10y his countrymen as
very wealthy, each wife having cost him ten
cows, and in consequence of their services
he is able 10 raise large crops of corn every
year, which he can exchange for money or
cattle. But does happiness reign in Zulu
krnal? Far from IL. The domestic state
among the Zulus is one of deep wretchcd-
ness. From morning till night little is heard
but quarrelling and scOlding. Envy, jeal-
ousy, hate, and all the evil passions of the
human heart, bear sway."-.4m. Missionary.

am glad 10 observe that the recent influx Of
gold from California has given ease not only TO
the northern, but TO the money market in Balt-
more. For some days past there has been consd-
cradle strin gency here as we'll in the North in
regard to monetary affairs The pressure, how
ever is not yet over aud will not be so long as the
policy OF our Legislature encourages the work
shops of Europe in preference to those Of our own
country. The balance of trade will be against US,
and is now against US, to which may be attributed
the present monetary pressure, the worst Of which
has not yet been seen. Had it not, fortunately,
been for the importation of gold from California,
a much worse state of things would now be upon
u.s. all resulting from the destructive policy Of Lo
cofocoism. This is the simple truth, which every
thinking mind can easily discern.
Our municipal election to elect members Of the
City Council takes place Tomorrow There is a
good deal OF feeling on the subject. full vote,
however, cannot be gotten out. The Wings, in
my opinion, will do we'll. They have good can

The Revolutionary State Of Nicaragua-Afair in
Honduras, SalvadOr, Guatemala, and Yicaian.
By the arrival of the Prometheus we are in re
ceipt of news from San Juan de Nicaragua TO the
23d of September
The latest intelligence from the interior was,
that Muhoz wns to march upon Grenada on the 9th
OF September; and, if the city did not surrender,
he would take it by force; but the government
(Montenegro's) impressed into their service all the
mayineros; also, all the msarinsros who in the
service Of the Canal Company, which is breach
of their contract with the company. We have no
news from the seat of war later than the 9Th of Sep
TENDER.
Our advices from San Juan delSud give us the
following particulars of a late military foray at
that place, on the Pacific side of the Nicaragua
route II is said that few days before the arrival
OF the Pacific at that place, company of native
soldiers had been sent there by the local authorities
in power for the time being with orders to take
their prisoner a certain American, of the name of
Mclean. He was suspected of being some politi
cal spy, sort of Chatfield, in the disguise of a
trader. Mclean occupied shanty, with per-
haps a dozen other Americana, who, on their
turn from California, had halted at San Juan with
the view of settling down there TO speculate under
the idea that the village of half dozen cabins would
soon, under the impulse of the Nicaragua through
line, become an important place of business.
Well, the company of sixty soldiers, to make
of their man, surrounded the shanty, and
fired into it, killing negro and severely wound
ing white man. The Americans sailed out with
their reyolvers and returned the fire. killing one
man, wounding several and dispensing the whole
company. Next day the affair compromised
by an agreement that Mclean should leave the
country, which he did accordingly in the North
America for San Francisco. Our accounts repre-
sent the whole country of the Isthmus in a very
distracted and revolutionary condition.
Great dissatisfaction caused among the
American residents at Greytown, by MIR. White
