Ocean Penny Postage.

ELIHT BURRETT whose life has been
devoted to beneficial reforms, is now en-
deavoring to induce the Governments of
the United States and Great Britain to
reduce their ocean postage on letters
The specific object he wishes to accom-
plish is clearly set forth in an extract from
a little pamphlet, by himself, on the sub
Ject, as follows:
"The whole reduction of postage con-
templated in this project, is exclusively
confined to the single item of the ocean
transit. 1t is proposed that this single
service shall be performed invariably for
one English penny, or tlro cents; leaving
the different governments to reduce or
retain the present inland rates, just as
they please. If this project were adopt
ed, the whole charge on a single letter
from any town in the United States to
any town in Great Britain. would be ser
Ell cents: to any town in France, ten cents;
to any town in the Postal Union of Ger
many, nine cents, provided the inland
rates in these countries should remain as
at the present moment. The American
Post Office would receive five cents for
every single letter thus transmitted across
the sea, or three cents for the American
inland, and two cents for the ocean tran
sit"
The beneficial character of this reform,
if it can be had, is easily understood and
appreciated. The postage now we believe
on foreign letters, amounts to "a cents.
The correspondence is mainly by the poor
er class of the people-the immigrants to
our shores--to their friends yet remain
ing abroad, and if it can be more cheaply
done, justice and good policy bothrequire
it should by. What it can be- is evident
from the fact, that responsible steam ship
companies stand ready to agree to carry
all letters across the ocean, for the sum
to which this proposition proposes to re-
duce the postage-and our government.
it strikes Us, after prohibiting others from
performing such dutics-and making a
monopoly of tito themselves, has no right
to charge exhorbitant rates. We trust
the matter will be agitated until Congress
either throws open the business to com
petition or reduces the tariff.

Press VS.. Pulpit.

Whewi what a storm in that Demo-
cratic teapot! One would conclude the
astute editor was getting anxious. as also
some of his friends, for when sinners be-
come anxious or awakened they always
fall out either with themselves or with
the advocates of righteousness. And
when flying from church to church. they
are still met with the same visions of
their sin, it is no new thing that they
commence to rail at, and denounce those
faithful ministers whose unwelcome
truths have brought their sins to their
remembrance. Oh! but it was too bad
that those two sermons should have been
preached just at the time when that ac-
cursed Douglass bantling was consigned
to the tender mercics of the Committee
of the Whole" where it was to be feared
the miserable little quadroon will be kill
ed by the paternal, fraternaI, and joyus
embraces of its numerous friends. But
softly Mr.. Democrat. In this age ofpro-
gress don't be alarmed if the Pulpit should
labor little to reform the masses by en-
couraging such legislation as shall restrain
the vicious. It sometimes reasons on
temperance, and the utility of Maine Law
restrictions, and sometimes on righteous
ness, as the propriety of preserving our
Territories from that sum ofall villanies"
which sets all Gospel at defiance, and de-
MES the right of God to control the ac-
tions of his creatures. But my dear Mr.
Democrat, are you not laboring under
wrong Impression when you say the "Ne-
braska and Kansas Bills have the earnest
support ola large majority of the people,"
and that it is generally and cordially
approved? Have you seen the returns
of. petitions to Congress in its support
sufficient to justify such opinions2 Again,
are you quite sure that the Clergy neith-
er read, understand, or appreciate the po-
litical history of the country" and conse-
quently should take no notice of the steady
march of Southern Aggression, and the
ready, crouching scrvility, and lick-spittlc
subseryiency oftheir Northern advocates?
But is it true, as you affirm, that there
are few democrats in the PRESBYTERIAN
Church,? Where are they then? In
the Roman Catholic2 But has not his
Reverence also been giving the Nebraska
Bill fits as well as Messrs. Westover and
Bishop? And is that the reason WHY
you spared him But where are your
pious Democrats, who favor the Nebras-
ka Bill, to be found7 Alas sir, am
afraid, really afraid, the friends of that
God dishonoring Bill are not worthy to
be members Of any christian church. If
to stay the tide ofhmnan oppression, and
say to the soul and body destroying in
stitution of slavery, Thou shalt proceed
no further, be a christian virtue and
christirn sentiment, then indeed we may
not search church records to find the
friends or advocates Of the Nebraska Bill
