Bates was native Of Edmonton in England
and was brought by his parents to this coun-
try while yet a child.
Under General jackson. and while Samuel
Gouverneur was postmaster in this city, he re-
ceived an appointment Of some trust and re-
sponsIbility in the New York post Office, the
conduct of which was for some time virtually
in his special charge. II was his experience Of
the duties OF this office, and his familiarity with
the system OF Government mails, that first
turned his attention to the practicability and
importance of cheap postage
To this cause he devoted the labors of the
last years OF his lie. He diligently collected
information on the subject of cheap postage
from all quarters, studied the practice Of other
countries, published pamphlets, wrote in the
newspapers and magazines, and lectured on the
subject in various parts Of the United States.
He had the satisfaction Of seeing the land post
age reduced to reasonable rate, and was in
the midst Of his labors to effect a correspond
ing reduction of the ocean postage when the
disease to which he fell victim overlook him
He was q man Of kindly temper and molten
sive conduct. He bad many friends, and no
enemies that we know Of and we sorrow that
his life should have been brought to close in
the midst of his useful activity.

90 frequently instituted between Northern and
Southern States, to the disadvantage of the
latter. both are compared with an arbitrary
Standard The test assumed as the rule Of
comparison is the condition and deceptive bril-
lancy Of the commercial and manufacturing
nations of Europe.
There can be no question that the CONNER
eial and manufacturing States Of the North
anprOach more closely than the agricultural
nooulatious Of the South to the realization OF
tbis delusive beau ideal In these more bril-
liant and dazzling char acteristcs they are rap
idlv oyertaking, and in some respects surpass-
inS their exemplars. They have greater IA
ciities for the precOcious accumulation of
wealth than have been accorded to Europe.
They are embarrassed and retarded by few of
the ip,pediments which cucumber transactions
abroad they have a larger verge to operate
in; and the comparative sparseness of the
n)pnlation, with the vast outlet afforded by the
Northwest to all supernumeraries, postpone,
though they cannot forever avert the ruinous
tendencies which are 80 apparentan so keen
" felt IN Europe. But they are pursuing the
same road to destruction which has been tray
elled by those whom they would initiate They
are now basking in the same sunshine by
which their prototypes have been tempted on
ward. with fallacioas sense of security and
they may expect ultimately to arrive ct the
same ealamitous goal *%
ain the Southern States everything is different.
The pursuit of agriculture and the institution
of Slavery-the consequent sparseness of popu-
lation and extent of estates-the rural life and
the personal independence of planters, engen-

ton of gain is alonespossible except in the
cities, which must always resemble each other

All that the planting and farming class indulge
the hope ofdoingis, to perpetuate and improve
the advantages which they already enjoy, to
advance in comfort and prosperity with the
natural growth of the country, and to leave
their children in the enjoyment of the same
blessings which they have possessed, and on
the same safe road of gradually extending
prosperity. They are not urged into spasmodc
activity by the tOrmenting demon of gain, and
are not driven into speculations of trade by the
Unsuitable avidity Of conquering sudden wealth
Their life appears slow, stagnant, inactive, in.
efficient, to those who revel in the whirl and
turmoil of the ney-grnding machinery Of
more gain-loving communities"

To the Editor Of the National Era:
have watched closely the notices of new
publications in the Era, since the winding up
of the story of Mark Sutherland, or Power and
Principle, by Emma ID. f. N. Southworth,
which ended August rs, No. 347. 1t was sta
ted in that number that it would soon be put
in book form, Tor appear in that form) Will you
please inform me and the friends of the Era
where it can be purchased aud the price per
number, &c! 1t has been read by many who
are not subscribers to the Era, with much de-
light: they have borrowed the numbers con-
tanning it, until they are worn out or nearly so.
H.. p.
Our correspondent is not alone in the esti-
mate he places upon Mark Sutherland. 1t
will certainly be published in a volume, but
when, and by whom, we do not know. We
hope Mrs. SOuthworth will answer the in
