CIRCULAR.

a WASHINGTON, august l, 1851,
CIR After consulting many persons interested in the
- principal Railroads in the United States the under
signed propose to establish agencies in this city and in
New York. for the purpose of collecting full and anthem
tic Railroad statistics ana such other Information as w
road securities procure information Of matters
connected with the construction and administration of
Railroads They also PROPOSE especially to urge upon
Congress modification Of the laws relating to contracts
for carrying the mail to authorize the Post Office
Department to contract for use Of Railroads
and instead Of paying quarterly on contracts for
four years. advance in five cent bonds OF the United
States chargeable upon the revenues Of the Post Once
Department. amount the interest upon which at per
cent. would equal the payments now made.
The Government now pays $500 per mile for carrying
the mail on hrstclass Railroads This Is per cent on
ing $500 mile, per annun the Department should de-
liver, on contract in perpetuity, five 1000 bonds,
bearing interest Of five per centrum At this rate the
charge upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 o mile saved
would create sinking fund, which will in few years,
pay off the bonds and give the of such roads forever
thereafter free of all charge; thereby eecting vast
saving the present annual expenditures of the Post
Office Department, and consequent reduction OF the
rates Of postage.
The effect will be less advantageous to Railroad
panies than TO the Government For instance, such
contract would give to the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad
Company than 81 100000, which would enable that
company complete its road at early day. and greatly
increase its business and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public mind
with proper of the benefits to result from this
measure win require concert of action and continued
active effort through the press and otherwise The I'M
dergned tender their services TO your company expect
ing reasonable compensation, partly contingent upon
the Of the measure and respectfully suggest the
proprety Of your sending delegates to this
city, the first Wednesday in December next, to confer
with delegates from other Railroad companies, to the
details of the proposed arrangement and the best mode OF
bringing the subject before Congress.
Should II be your pleasure to accept Of services in
this matter, will promptly attend TO all other business,
which you, or your Company, may have with the Post
Office Department, other branch OF the Government
Hoping 10 hear from you at your earliest convenience,
