"An Unpopular Law"

Under this caption, paper, called the
'.Dispateh, I" published in some obscure cor
ner Of New York, denounees the new post
Office law, whichfallows the county paper to
circulate within the county. free of postage
SAYS the editor, 1t is denounced by the en-
tire country press, because it interferes with
the circulation of newspapers, and put the
public toineonyeaience and unnecessary ex-
pease."
Well this is news b US, and we suppose
that now, since the an. Y. Dispatch" has
said it. the law must be repealed. But be
easy, way down thar! The western press
and their patrons are well satisfied with the
new law, and will sustain it.
For years the western people have been
imposed upon, by these trashy concerns pub,
lished in the east. These fellows, send out
west flaming hand-bills, lauding themselves
in the most fulsome strains, for their energy
and liberality, for thus getting up a paper
'for the million" Hundreds by this means,
are induced to send on their money, and il
often, very often occurs, that that is the las
they ever hear of the paper or their money
Others again, by filling up their paper with
book notices, patent medicine advertise
ments, and puffs of quack doctors, Some oI
these books which they are continually puff
fng and entreating the people to buy, are Of
the most infamous character, enough tc
damn any set of publishers in christian
community.
The secret of opposition to the new pos
Office law, is this. The county paper,by be-
ing permitted to go free of postage, and by
the aid of the telegraph, is more desirable
for news, than the eastern papers. Thi:
they know, and are determined ifpossble
not only to have the law repealed, but breal
up the telegraph lines.
Another objection Of the Dispatch is, Hi.
Royal Majesty, "zonge,yacOagerynOVaysGf'
the "King of the Canabal Islands, " is a sub
scriber, On his paper they have to pa!
So, so cents postage before they can send it
and to accommodate him, they think the Law
ought to be repealed or they will have t.
strike his name off their list That woult
be a pity. Cannot Congress pass a specia
law, for the benefit of His Majesty?
In the above remarks, we do not includ
all the eastern journals. There are som
5 honorable exceptions, but of these we hav
| no room to speak, to-day.

SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE should never be
disregarded. They are unerring Indications
that the vital functions of nature have been
interrupted in their healthful action, and chat
serious evils must inevitably follow, unless
the system be again set right by the timely
use Of proper remedies.
Bear in mind that nature is ever endeav-
Ioring to expel disease when it invades the
Ianimal economy, and only needs the assist
ance of some genial restorative-thorough,
yet mild in its action--that will give tone to
the system, and act upon the blood-which
is the principal of life.
GugsoHs Yellog Dock and ,Sdrsaparila,
as purifyer of the blood a rcnovator Of the
system, and supporter and preserver Of the
power of life, has no equal. Take it on the
first indication that disease is upon you, and
you will avert perhaps weeks and months of
sickness and suffering. See advertisement.

A Ship Canal Between the Two
Oceans.

The following memorandum, says the
Journal of Commerce, has been handed us
by respectable citizen: Private letters by
the last New Granada mail, inform us that
the important question has been decided, of
an exclusive right to construct Ship Canal
across the territory of that enterprising and
enlightened Republic, considerable distance
from Panama, to connect the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific. A company, compri-
sing several of our own citizens, have obtain
led this privilege, which good judges esti-
mate at high value. The details of the
bill, which has recently passed the Congress,
are very interesting, showing the liberality
of the Government, and the intelligence and
enterprising character of the company. II
is fact that canoes have sometimes crossed
on the line where the anticipated Canal is to
be dug; and nothing is known which appears
like an important obstacle in the way of the
work, OF unfavorable toits speedy completion,
! its full success and permanent utility.
"For information obtained by some of the
friends of this enterprise, it is clear that prof
| table investments may be made for the de-
velopment of some of the valuable and abun-
dant natural resources of the immense and
fertile regions of New Granada, hitherto but
| little known even to many of the inhabitants
themselves, and little suspected by our coun-
trymen. hope to be able to give you fur
ther particulars soon"
GrThe Richmond Times, speaking of the
refusal of the commandant of Fort Moultrie
to permit the fire eaters of Charleston to eel
ebrate within the walls, tells the following
story of General Jackson:
"When the notification trouble was pend
| ing petition was received by the Secretary
of War, requesting that Fort Moultrie might
be placed for time under the control Of the
authorities of Charleston, to be used for an
hospital, for an epedemic was represented tc
be prevailing in the city. The Secretary
thought the request very reasonable one,
and so spoke of it to Gen. Jackson; butaOld
Hickory instantly smelt rat, and throwing
into his countenencc all the energy of ex-
preston of which it was capable, told the
Secretary, Sir, you will order the officer
in command at Fort Moultrie to turn the
guns upon Charleston, and send him rein
forcement without delay. That's my answer
! to the petition
"Few would question what General Tacl
son would now say, were he Presidentof the
United States, if a military company should
ask to be admitted into the same fort, though
its members might intend nothing more Sc
rious than seasoning their bumpers witt
toasts denunciatory Of the Union and the
Government"

Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great

The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists of London and Paris; and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
