Fromthe Evening Post Of Wednesday.
The STEAMBOAT AprRoPRIArIon-By ref
erence to our congressional report, it will be
perceived that the Collins company have sue
ceeded with Congress, and have carried their
The clause of the deficiency bill upon which
the vote was cast runs as follows:
"For additional compensation for increasing
the transportation of the United States mail be-
tween New York and Liverpool in the Collins
line of steamers to twenty-six trips per annum,
ut such times az shall be directed by the Post.
master General, and in conformity to his last
annual report to Congress, and his letter of the
fifteenth of November last, to the Secretary of
the Navy, commencing said increased service on
the first of January, eighteen hundred and fifty
two, at the rate of thirty three thousand dollars
per trip, in lieu OF the present allowance, the
sum of two hundred and thirty-six thousand
FIVE hundred dollars: PROVIDED, That it shall be
in the power Of Congress, at any time after the
thirty first day of December, eighteen hundred
and fifty -four, to terminate the arrangement for
the additional allowance herein provided for,
upon giving six months notice"
Thirty three thousand dollars trip, or about
twice what the British government allow the
Cunard company for the same amount of postal
service. This vote is practical recognition of
two principles, both of which are false--.frst
that the American Congress is at liberty to bring
the resources Of toe general government into
competition with the independent commerce Of
the country; and second, that the American me
chanic cannot build and run Atlantic steamers
half az cheap as their English rivals. Every
Democrat knows the unsoundnese of the first
proposition, and every ship builder or navigator
in the United States, daily witnesses the alb
surdity of the second.
When we say every Democrat knows the un-
sOundness of the first proposition, we perhaps
may be misunderstood. We mean that every
intelligent Democrat ought to see it. And yet
we observe the names of several Democrats in
the list of ayes, some Of them intelligent men
too.
We give their names that our readers may see
to whom the public are indebted for the addition
of half million of dollars annually to our public
expenses, for the benefit of private shipping
company in Wall street.
