poses," approved March 2, 1851, reported by Mr..
OLps from the Committee on the Fost-ofice and
Post-roads, on Tuesday last.
Mr.. OLDS addressed the House, contendng
that under the proposed law the rates of postage

Mr.. WASHBURN, Of Maine, moved to in.
crease the weight Of newspapers to be transported
three thousand miles for one cent, from TO one
and half ounces, and contended that this would
benefit the rural papers, whose average weight
was one and half ounce.
Mr.. OLDS replied, contending that the bill OF
the committee would protect the country papers,
and declared their average weight was not over
one ounce.
Ir. BROOKS was in favor Of the amendment,
and stated what he considered would be the bad
effects Of the bill as recomm lded by the commit.
tee.
Mr.. CABLE said that ne purpose OF Mr..
BRooEs was to get the aid q the government as
