CHEAP POSTAGE MEETING IN New
YoEK.-A meeting Of those in favor Of
reduction Of postage on newspapers, pc
iiodicals. &c, was held in New York on
Thursday-Hon. James Harper presid
ing An address was delivered by Barn
abas Bates, Esq, uud the following, among
other resolutions, adopted:
Rss0ived. That the rates nf the postage
on newspapers. periodicals, pamphlets
and all other printed matter. should be
uniform and chesp. so thoi any person
may understand what he has To pay. aud
80 low that the postage should not be- fell
asa burdensome tax.
ResOlped. That the postage on news
papers should not exceed q uniform rate
of one cent 10 any part ofthe Union, ant
the postage on periodicals and other print
ed matter, one cent an ounce, allowing
publishers who wish. 10 pre- pay the post
age, fifty per cent. discount.
A committee was appointed to prepar,
bill aud petition Congress to carry on
tho views ofthe meeting. Similar meet
ings throughout the Union we're recon
mendod.
Before measure for the further re-
duclion of postage isadopted, it will b,
well to wait and see how the present Law
operstes. We understand that there ha
bOen a considerable falling oirin tho re-
ceipts. In any event, we hope the peo
pie Of tho West will consider the resolu
tions. Il is hardly fair that New Yort
Magazine or Newspaper should be
brought To Lancaster at the same rates Il,
one of either from the city Of Columbus
or Cincinnati. Ia III

A young spark who boarded at one

asked him for some money. q have moi

UNION OF THE MIssouRI DEMOCRACY
We arc rcjoced to witness in the democratic or
gans of Missouri, lively and commendiblc in
terest in the subject of uniting the two con-
ficting wings of the democratic party in that
State. Nothing can be gained by discord, crim-
nation and re-crmnation, while every thing
depends upon Cancellation, harmony and union.
Old Missouri for many years, held proud place
in the affections of the great democratic party
for brief season she has been lost to the party
and herself; but there is good reason, why
she should not regain her old Professionalism
her polical character upon frmer and purcr
bass-and go into the councils of the nation, il
not W tn the giant Benton, at least with good
and pure democratic repr ,sentation.

DESPERATION THE SABRATH.-Thc edi.
tor of the st. Louis Union, in reply to a letter
from citizens, gives his opinion that it is not
wrong for those whose religious or ant-reli-
gous notions so prompt, them to play ball
threw quaits, &c, on Sunday, or rather, that il
is religious prosecutions to legally prohibit them
from so doing. But very small portion of the
Christian community will agree with him.
When it shall come to pass that cities and town.
may not cnloin such opesi violations of the
sanctity of the Lords day, blow will have
been dealt to the morality of the land from
which we will never recover. Providence will
follow it with evils which no one can calculate
The Sabbath is an institution of venerable 81
crcdncss, and the observance off is sign ane
guaranty of national moral prosperity
For the sake of the protection of society ant
SOCIAL laws, men renounce certain privileges :
lfsociety has not the authority to prevent tho
open violation ola tiine-honored, and sacred ob
servancc, we believe it has no authority whatcv.
er, over mems privileges. We may rest assured
that when it shall let 60 this prerogative it vii
have lost one OF the pillars of its own perma
neney- All who even respect religion or who
have an enlightened attachment 10 their co,,ntrv
will condemn such admissions in an ORGAN arf

Whether christian, or not, the editor Of tn

DosaLDsoy AND GREER.-A distinguished
gentleman of Texas, writing to the Washington

He says every effort has been made to trace hin,
up and discover his locality, but without effect
