MODERATE DRINkER AND DRUxKARD.-
The difference between these two we once
heard compared TO the difference between
Pig and hog. Coughs definition, however,
we like better. A moderate drinker is one
who can stop, but 'front.'. A drunkard is one
who ,could stop, but can't. The Maine Law
must help him or there is no help for him.

TBE Posi- OFrIcE.-Complaints are frequently
made of the failure of letters to reach their des-
tination ; but it will be found that generally the
failure or delay arises from the errors or want of
caution on the part of the writer's. We frequent
~ receive letters from places having names similar
to towns in other States, and without the par
ticular State being named in which the writer
lives. This is even frequent fault among bank
ers who should OF all classes, be explicit in their
address. We observe among the advertised let
tiers at Buffalo, retained for want of prepayment
Of postage letters for ono of the banks of this city,
This is no doubt frequent neglect, and too much
caution cannot be observed in having the writer's
card or address distinctly printed on his envcl-
opes, so that in case the postage is accidently
not prepaid, the Postmaster may know whom to
notify of the omission.-Cour. & Eno.

The REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE SLAVE Pro-
PAcANDIsrs.--The N. Y. Tribune, after abiding
to plot which has secretly been discovered to
add more Slave territory to the Union, remarks
In the midst of that black and degrading reyo-
luton which this insolent and reckless power is
forcing upon the nation, the Republican party is
the sole conservative force, the only focus of re-
sistance which offers the slightest possibility of
saving the country from the evils with which the
Douglases, Stringfe,lows, Atchinsons and Fords,
seek to overwhelm it. AND yet there are many
who claim to love freedom, and to be devoted to
the peace and welfare Of the country, who stand
aioof from that great party and thus tactly
give aid and comfort to the villains who are
pushing the dark plot to its completion!
