1.-THE Aboltlonst OF the Times Will not keep
silence. = He shall not escape US, with his false
issues and false assertions and insinuations. In
his last paper he is ct his usual game-atlempting
to make the public believe, that we are hostile to
our neighborS WHO are northern men by birth, and
to schools and to education and 10 public improve
nents and enterprises. This won'tdo. We have
made no charge against our citizens, who are from
the NoIth-not at all. They are few, some of
them weknow well, and so far we know them,
TREY are with one exception, not Abolitioniss.-.
Our complaint is against Abolitionism, and with
HIM who in his Journal published here, takes sides
with the Aboliiunists Of the North against the
Southern States. Weshould not have even dis
turbed the meekneSs of this pretended Saini, had
he hept his Abolitionism to himself and not so
extensively and inluriously to his neghbors given
it pnblicity.
Astorailroads and manufactures and Wharton's
rretense, that Wheeling is debtor to the North
or Nottherh men for them, all we have to say is,
that every assertion orinsimuaton of the kind, is
slmpiyuntrue and ridiculous. For any PAvoRs
we have had in the way Of railroads. we are debt
orto the abused Virginia Legislature, m2re than
to all others. As 10 manufacturing establish
rnents is certainly true, they were established,
as they are owned in the main, by natives of Viz
mia and OF the middle and western States.
This mischief maker is often Boosting that he is

from his repeated assumptions of this kind, be.
live. or affect to believe, that without him we
would have had no public schools Nothing is
more groundless, and it is high time that this sell

not the author of it, nor has he been any more lie

10 the Editors Of the Washington Sentinel:
GENrLhMES: II is curious TACT, that, at the
very moment that Com. Perry paid at the rate of
ttoo dollars Per ounce for packet of newspapers
done up Ill the letter form, there was an EXPRESS
enactme ntinthe postal laws of the United States
ny which the captain of sailing ship can only he
allowed ttoo cents for conveying letter across the
ocean, IRON any direction, or from any distance
II an American sailing ship, on leaving. Sha nghai,
or any other Chinese port, for New York, should
take on board bag Of letters from the sailors of
lie American squadron in those seas, the captain,
on his arrival, could only receive two cents apiece
ior the Transit service. Then why NAV he not
convey back TO Shanghai bag OF letters from the
parents, brotheis and sisters OF those sailors ut the
same rate? What right has any government 10
charge fartlling more for the inland service on
letters that cross the sea- than for the same service
on letters posted and delivered within its dominion?
IL letter be conveyed from Boston TO Canton for
Two cents, on what principle of justice can the
Ghlnese authorities charge the receiver anything
additional for that transit service? Ii is ceItain
~ remarkable postal anomaly that letters NAV
oe conveyed from New York TO the very ships
sides, as II were, of the American squadron in
the Chinese ports, for ttco cents per half ounce
out when once aboard of those stips the charge
IS increased to one dollar for the same wei. hi
NOT Is tnis anomaly confined 10 this direction
II exists, between the United States and reat
BRIAN. For years. sailing ships have conveyed
IetterS between The two countries for two cents n
piece. And now powerful screw steamships are
p'y'ne acfoSS tEt Atlantic; aud they are conyey-
ing letters for two cents each. The agent OF one
oil these companies has offered repeatedly 10 per-
form this transit service at this low rate Then
on what principle of justice aud equity can either
post office charge anything more than lis establish
ed inland rate on letter that has thus crossed the
scar AT the present time, the whole postage on
single letter from any town in the United States In
any Town IN Great Britain, is twenty-four cents:
Of which three cents for the American inland, two
lof the Brl ish inland; and consequently nineteen
cents Tor the ocern transit. If, then, sailing yes.
SEES anu screw steamships are actually performing
lhs transit service for ttco cents, why should lie
