within twenty.four hours of what we haye
here. Let US hope that the cheap postass
rates will so augment the intercourse that
a daily or semi-daily mail will put US in
constant communication. Along with the
change of rates comes the new change it

coins will have on the well-being of the
community. Many thousands who from
ignorance, or want of opportunity, never

be powerful enough to attract an increased
trade, then are we as a people in a most de-
pIorable plight; for no,hing but reduced
expenses will ever enable us to cope wi,A'
the capital and facilities of other cities.
