POSTAGE STAMPS.

In reference to the immediate and immense
demand throughout the country for postage stamps
OF the several denominations, prepared under
the late act of Congress, we understand that
although the manufacturers at Philadelphia are now
using every exertion to furnish them, they never
theless cannot turn off sufficient quantity to ena-
bic the Department to distribute them at once over
the whole Union.
About 100000 have been received by the De-
partment and promptly dispatched to the most i'm
por'ant points, and arrangements are in progress
speedily to supply the numerous post offices all
over the country, so that all will soon have the
opportunity and the advantage of conveniently pre-
paying their correspondence.
The manufacturers are making between three
and four hundred thousand stamps day, and are
indefatgabe in their efforts to increase the daily
amount up to the point Of full supply. That
being once attained, the public WILL without further
delay, be furnished to every desired extent.

vine hand; and seems to have been reserved to
this late era of the world as if to show how rich,
how deep is that treasury Of bene6cence which
could thus outdo all former gifts to men.
Is i. strange that so much good should have been
attended with some concomitant evil |! When was
such high privilege entrusted to men and not
abusel! The precious trust has been exposed to
many threatening peril and SO urgent, so immi-
nent, so apparently inevitable have some of these
dangers been, that the heart of the patriot rembled
within him. But like mariners oft rescued from
expected shipwreck, We have by use become hard
ened /" to these crises, and are learning, like good
patriots, never to despair of the Republic Our
greatest, deadliest danger has been our last. But
it is passed; and that it IS passed is, of all the
many indictments calling us to consecrae this day
to public JOY, the best and greatest The National
sagacity has yndcated its just renown, while the
national fidelity and loyalty to the Union has been
proved in manner that nothing else could have
effected. Courage and constancy that have never
been tried may be great but il is danger that brings
them to the proof, stamps them as genuine, and
demonstrates their strength and priceless value.
A few misguided though honest men may still
be deuded by wrong-headed, selfish, ambitious
politicians, too ready, alas, plunge their country
into seas of trouble, and even of blood, that they
themselves may ride upon the tumultuous surges to
some " bad eminence," prominent amidst the sur
rounding wreck Of all they ought to have loved and
priced. But this delusion will be short; its doom
is sealed its day is coming and this crisis, like
all the previous ones from which we have escaped,
will but place on the historians page another
monument of the care of sleepless Providence,
and one more lesson for posterity.
To-day, in this city, is to be laid the foundation
of the extension of the Capitol. May it prove an
omen, among many others, of the happy growth
and perpeuty Of the Union 1t is, in all likelihood,
not the last enlargement that will be needed by that
magnificent building, and generations to come may
wonder, as we have done, how their fathers could do
the business Of the Government in so narrow and
inadequate space. seems, indeed, that no walls
can hold US. Building after building may be seen
bursting its bounds and demanding additional struc-
ture to effect the object of its erection. So may
| it prove with every sign and emblem of our ma
tiona greatness! .". ..
But why do we suffer our feeble voice to be
heard on day like this, when voice SO much
mgher than ours is to be lifted up, once more, in
the cause of UNION AND THE CONSTITUTION Let
us hear him. Let us lay up, deep in our heart of
hearts, the words of counsel, the accents of pa
triotic wisdom which will fall this day from lips
hallowed by that highest of earthly inspirations,
the love of our country, our whole country, "one
and inseparabe, now and forever"
