PRoPosED INCREAss OF TIE RATES. OF Posi-

PRoPosED INCREASE OF THE RATES. OF Posr-
the many foolish propositions
which have been laid before Congress this ses-
sion, none seems more utterl,y absurd than that
to increase the rates Of letter postage. The
question is perfectly si'dple. On the one hand
the postal revenue falls short of the expendi-
ture by some two millions annually: on the
other, privilege Of franking matter for the
mails is enjoyed by members Of Congress and
Of the Senate, and is used by them to such an
extent, that If the franked matter were to pay
the usual rates there would probably be q sur
plus instead Of deficiency in the department.
1t seenas to us that the most superficial glance
at these two facts ought to suggest the proper
course to be pursued If it be essential to the
interests of the country that members should
be permitted to correspond with their constitu-
ents and distribute Congressional documents
free of expense, the burthen should be borne by
the State and not by the people individually
The postage on these letters and documents
should be regularly levied and charged to the
account of Congress and the Senate, just in the
same way as the pay and mileage of members.
per light, and as we mentioned above, 1--WE think it
likely thas 1t would show o surplus This is the
plan adopted in many foreign countries, and if it
has no other advantage, it shows at all events to
what extent the ranking privilege is used, and
what the letter writing propensities of our re-
representatives. cost us. To our mind, this point
is worth ascertaining A knowledge of the
facts might lead to judicious scheme for cur
failing the franking privilege and thus effect
ing considerable economy to the Department.
Without reference to this, however, it is obvi-
ously preposterous to talk Embarrassing the rates
Of letter postage in this country. Three cents
are quite enough to pay for letter from here
to Boston and as statistics show that by far
the larger proportion of letters are mailed at a
place not far from their destination, we cannot
Of merchandise and other commodities, we pay
too little for our letters. 1t would be more
reasonable to advocate reduction than an in
crease of the tariff. The British people pay
about two cents for their letters: we see no
reason why we should be more heavily taxed
than they.
Ifno one have the sense to propose the plan
we suggest, the two million deficiency must be
provided for by special appropriation renewed
every year. In no event ought it be made the
pretext of an additional tax on the people in
the shape of increased rates of postage, and we
are therefore glad that the proposed bill has
been laid on the table.

NOTIFICATIONS OF THE TARIFF.--The Commit
tee ofWays and Means have, after much discus
sion, manufactured tariff on the basis of M
Guthrie's suggestions in his report. 1t is mol
calculated to reduce materially the annual re.
venue from this source, its estimated product
being somewhere about forty-hye millions. II
would have been more liberal, probably, had
the administration contemplated fewer land
jO5bing schemes, or abandoned the plan of set
ting up foreign usurpers with our money With
these sources of expenditure in view, the com.
nittee have been compelled to retain many du
ties which even Mr.. Guthrie proposed to sur
render. Thus, sugar and hemp will continue
under the reported bill, to pay twenty pei
cent, and raw silks and some other articles
used in manufactures tot pay like tax. What
necessity there was for con tinuing to burthen
the people with these imrncts, tho COMM. tnn,~
.eport VIII probably explain - VIII be Tor that
body to pnt ito reasons in rs forcible light as
possible, or the scheme will meet with but littN
favor at the hands Of the people. Wines and
liquors are to be taxed one hundred per cent,
as atpresent. We have taken several opportu.
mites of pointing on the superior merits of
specific over ad Uoloyem duties in this branch
Of the tariff and we had hoped that
the committee would have recognized the
principle. A general specific tax on wineswould
be more effectual in preventing the sale of bad
liquors than all the Maine laws in the world.
Altogether, from the sketch of the committees
report we have seen, it does not promise much
1t is founded neither on protection nor free
trade basis. 1t purports to reduce the rates of
duties paid by the people, but is calculated to
produce revenue falling but little short of our
present one. 1t pretends to favor our manu-
featuring interests, but taxes raw materials and
articles which are largely consumed for manu-
featuring purposes. 1t starts with the notion
ofrelieving the people, but, SO far as we can see,
the diminutions it effects are not applicable to
commodities of prime necessity among the peo-
pie. The fact is the scheme for reducing the
revenue from customs duties was preached be-
fore the Mexican treaty came home, before the
purchase Of Cuba assumed tangible shape,
before the schemes of corruption nursed by the
Pierce Cabinet were born and therefore was
feasible. Now that every man at Washington
either has his hand in the public chest or wants
to get it there, to talk Of diminishing its con-
tents would be absurd, and therefore this
scheme has been devised.

Our WESTERN ossEssIONs-IMPoRTAS PAR
TICULARs CONCERNING THE New TERRITORIES
We publish in to-day's HERALD O most impor-
tant document. Immediately after we had
become satisfied that the Nebraska bill would
become law, we secured the services of an
intelligent gentleman, at present citizen of st.
Louis He is fully posted up upon oil matters
appertaining to the Western country, and has
personally inspected the vast expanse Of coun-
try bounded by the British possessions on the
north, the Rocky Mountains on the west, the
Mississippi river on the east, and Mexico on the
south.
We give to-day his carefully prepared state
ment Of the geography geology, products and
boundaries Of this territory, and more particu-
larly referring to Nebraska and Kansas. His
statements are drawn from his own observation,
and the reports Of experienced travellers who
preceded him. The paper will be found highly
interestingly all persons. 1t is written in
clear, unaffected, yet eloquent style, and the
facts are so plainly stated that any person may
understand them. To those enterprsing citi-
zeDs who intend to take up their residence in
the new territories, it affords complete chart.
The remarks Of our correspondent touching
the action of Colonel Benton, and the aboli-
Zionist scheme for the colonization of Nebraska
and Kansas, are worthy the attention of all
those who by ignorance may be led into joining
with such enthusiasts as the philosophers Of the
Tribune and the Garrisonian clique at Boston.

AFFAIRS IN THE CITY.
A melancholy case Of mortality from cholera was
brought to the notice Of Coroner Hilton yesterday
or family consisting of husband, wife and five
children, taken ill few days since, four Of the lat
ter have died, and the parents are now in q very
hopeless state, little girl alone being exempt Th
family was wretchedly poor, and the apartmer Is
they occupied were in most filthy cond ton. fhe
instances of cholera that have occurred in this city
during the present summer have resulted from aesti
tuition and uncleanliness and it is high tim "a the
Board Of Health should adopt proper meas fres to
remedy these evils We would humbly sug ecst to
these functionares if they have not sufic nt saga

COMM ERCAL MATTEIS.
There was furtr er decline in common and info.
rsr brands of State -four yesterday with doing
for export The falling of was equal to 12ac 25c.
per barrel while good fancy and extra brands, being
in light SUPPLY were supported at about former
prices Thcfe we've increased purchases for export.
The aggregate sales Of -four reached between 10,
600 and 10000 barrels, a considerable portion of
which was hnght for shipment. There was no
aterction to notice in grain Freights to Liverpool
were active and frmer. The shipments included
aboCt 600 bushels of grain, and about 5000 bar
fels of flour, at slight advance in rates. Cotton
continued firm, at an advance of &c. on Mondays

their CT Imbined enemies Of the North. This
may } e accomplished, for where else can the
Sou .hern wings bestow themselves in the event
Of o sectional campaign? And what can the
.lorthera wings or free soilers or abolitionists
do, single handed, against this alliance Of the
South? Nothing They can only make sor-
midable opposition by the general enti-slsvery
coalition proposed by the Seward organs. We
are, therefore, constrained to conclude that the
recommendations Of the Petersburg Tntesi-
gencer foreshadow fusion of the wings and
democrats of the South upon the basis of the
reconstruction of the democratic party, leaving
the administration and Its Northern free soil
affiliations and associations entirely out If the
estimate. The Southern wings cannot be ex-
pected to form a junction with any party which
will recognize at its head and front an admins
tration which has repudiated the best Union
wings and democrats of the country. And as
the wing party Of the South, upon an independ-
ent footing, may command the balance Of
power, in general election, the only question
remaining to the Southern democracy is
whether they shall prefer the weakness Of the
administration to the substantial strength Of
the Southern wings. The latter party, at all
events, have cut loose from their Northern
4 brethren /; and if the Southern national demo-
cracy are wise, they will not lose the oppcr-
|.tunity for an alliance, offensive and defensive,
i against the disunion agitators of the North and
the South.
| On the other hand, we rereat, that in our
| Judgment it is perfectly ridiculous on We part
of the Boston Courier to be talking of a re-
Cancellation among the wings on both sides Of
the slavery line Of division, upon the question
of repeating the Nebraska bill. Upon that issue,
the Southern wings would be SO much good am
nnnition thrown away. No! The Seward organs
in this and other States have indicated the fu-
ture policy of the mass Of the Northern whigs
1t is such an anti-slavery alliance as will make
the next Presidential election q violent and
embittered sectional fight. The wings of the
South are, then right in moving for an indie
pendent Southern wing organization; and if the
| Southern national democracy understand their
| true interests, they will appreciate the policy
of bold and magnanimous plan Of union, such
plan as will not only secure the hearty CO.
operation and alliance of the national Southern
| wings, but of all men, North and South, devoted
to the principles of the Union and the constitu-
ton, and the continued expansion of the power,
the prosperity and the institutions OF the re-
public.
Old parties and platforms are worn out and
defunct New parties are coming into life.
The anti-slavery elements Of all the North are
tending to general coalition, and they can only
be overthrown by new, consistent, homoge-
neous national union party. Let the admins
be saved.

SOON Hnu Lnelr proper level.
But until the pressure from without is ap-
piled to the somnolent functionaries who are
supposed to represent the collective wisdom of
the city, we fear that little or no progress will
be made towards these desirable objects. In
stead Of endeavoring to multiply the facilities
Of communication between one part of the
Island and another, they are positive clog
upon the energy and enterprise of our citizens
We need only cite one fact to show how much
behind they arc in all the requirements of their
duties. The Hudson River Railroad retained a
privilege Of making a third track, running
slow trains to the end of the island, but they
never availed themselves of it, When pressed
by the persons residing above Thirty first
street to run hourly trains, at stops of scout
mile each they replied that they were exceed
ingly DESTROYS of doing so, and that as soon
as the city councils gave directions to that
effect they would be happy to comply with the
wishes of the requisitionists. The city councils
have, however, gone to sleep on the subject,
and as some small legislation is necessary to
enable the company to carry the plan into ex-
ecution, we presume that it will remain in
statu quo until they are walked up by the in
dignant remonstrances of the citizens.
The Sixth and Eighth Avenue Railroads
possess enormously valuable privileges, and
they should be compelled to complete their
roads forthwith to the extreme limits secured
in their charter, and to run cars from each ex-
tremity every five minutes. from A. M. to 7
2. NJ; every fifteen minutes from p. M
to 10 Z. NJ; half hourly from 10 p. M. to mid
night, and hourly from that time to 6 A. NJ
If these regulations we're strictly enforced, it
is certain that rents for tcnements in the lower
part of the city would soon be reduced to their
proper level, and that the sums distracted
from our local taxation, by the fact Of our
merchants carrying on their business in one
place and residing in another, would be ex-
pended on their Legitimate objects.
