OCEAN POSTAGE.

TIE following correspondence between Mr. COL
FAX she sbie and indefatgsble Member Of Con-
gress from Northern Indiana, aud the Post Office
Department exhibits facts of grave Interest not
generally understood. We ought TO have, must
have, cheaper Ocean Postage, bud when We stop
employing three or four rival lines of steamships to
DO she work of one, ard let Ocean Mail contracts
like any other, to ,he lowest responsible bidder,
We shall have it. Congress at last seems to look
in The right direction. We trust it will soon be
ready TO step that way:

DEAR SIR: AS you have the superntendence Of the
Foreign Department of the Pos.-Oftice, 1 desire to
call your attention to the very general complaint tx
isirg throughout the North West, i'll regard to the
high rates Of Ocean Postage These operate NOT Only
opprtssvely on the individual who pays them but
also adversely to the pecuDary interest Of the Depart
ment. When the postage n letter COTS half days
work of persons labOring farm BY the moth, II
il tydt Mt that letter arpg be far less freq .cnt
than would be the If the portage should be re-
0uced and do no. coubt that ma elial red Iction
would, il less than twelve month, treble the foreign
correspondence Of our county.
am aware that the Postal Contracts for carrying
the Foreign mails so heavy IN Their cost tina, the
Department is not reimbursed by the postage; but it
should DC rem culDtftu lneI ubuy VI
re made ala il the establishment Of CONNER 'ial
lines of American steamers, AID With 10 expectation
that the country would be fully recompensed for the
expenditure by the receipts for pOstages letters ar
ritd by them. And this argument is additionally an
swoIed by the fact that many routes are kept up on
our own for the public good where the receipts are
far shOr Of the cost.
As the Ocean Postage rates are placed by treaty
unuer the exclusive control of the Department, duc
ton oaDrOt be made by Cor sress, should a, le s
have ade al effort in that direction am aware from
the informal convt rsaOns have had the njoct
that the Department has expressed its willingness 10
ieouco the rates if there could be reciprocal scton
in regard TO tIant duties and other charges of Foreign
Governments. But beg leave TO submit that, # this
is ceciued You have still the power TO reduce without
il. II these charges were a. all proportlonate, as
respects Gistssce wlh those collected home CORES
pcIdence should not have moved il the matter; for
That woulo be all that could b. should be asked.
But when letters carried under our own laws from
Mains TO Nebraska, 3 900 miles, for three cent?, the
ocean postage for a similar but little gre dis
tance of 10, Pa, ard 30 cents thotgh ncludlng the
land carriage Of the letter SEEMS c:spOporiona,ely
high.
May trouble you for reply as to the probability
you hin msy exist of reduction brng effected.
Res1ecully yours. SCHUYLER COLtAA.

prehend such a movement. But when q
native-born American reflects upon such a
fact is it not enough to cause him to pause.
and whatever may be his party denomina.
ton, to join in the adoption of such meas
ures as viii prevent further acquisition
Of power by these aliens to the soil, and
strangers to our Institutions. When the
statistics of the country, and the occur
rences of each day demonstrate such an
appalling state Of things, the American who
win not hearken to the warning, and who,
for party success, viii encourage and foster
this foreign horde, is either ignorantly or
wilfully a traitor to the land that gave him
birth.
Ere the lapse of week this fair heritage
Of freedom, baptized in the blood of our
fathers, and solemnly dedicated to liberty
and just and equal laws will witness scenes
which may well justify fulfllment of the
prayer Of Jefferson, that ga sea of fire
might roll between this country and Eu-
rope" In the settlement of a question up
on which hangs in doubtful poise the dura-
bility Of this government, there will be polled
thousands upon thousands of illegal for
eigu votes, and legal ones which have been
bought for mere song. Creatures in the
image of men will be driven to the polls,
like cattle to their pens, and the votes o.
these things, will decide the issue. Great
Cod and this is free government repos-
ing for its permanency upon the intelligence
of the people!

SUCCESSFUL VOYAGE FROM CHICAGO TO Ii
vERPoUL-The European Times OF The 9th nit q,
notices a successful! commercial experiment OF
much importance and of a rather startling des
cription This is no less than the voyage of
the schooner Dean Richmond from Chicago,
Illinois, direct to Liverpool, with a cargo of
400 tons of grain. The Richmond is described
as b raklsh schooner of $50 tons register, draw
ing nine and a half feet of water. A direct
voyage ike this, which saves transhipmenL al
Buffalo or New York, must, it is clear, pour
into England the produce of the Northwestern
States OF the Union by way of the St.Lawrence,
at price which cannot fail to add to the
trade and wealth OF both countries. In point
of time and cheapness no doubt is entertained
that the new route will successfully compete
with the new New York or Black Sea routes
to England. The Richnond made the passage
in sixty days, which included $500 miles OF
inland water; but she was detained twelve
days in the ST. Lawrence, and that delay is
not likely to occur again. The voyage opens
new era 10 the grain trade, as well as in ship
navigation. Chicago, that wonderful port OF
the Lakes, will receive new impetus upon
the road to metropolitan greatness.

East Tennessee .-DemOeratic Blufiing

kabL 1enneesee.--Oeu0cTatl DluAN1nB'
If the game of bluff and buster has
had any effect upon the credulity of dem
ocrats, we doubt not many of them believe
that the American Party is fated to lose
heavily on East Tennessee. 1t has been
the policy of the leaders to brag high, and
it has been carried cut with characteristic
persistency and recklessness. We have not
the slightest objection in the world to
continuance of it until the election is over.
Democrats alone are to experience the evil
effects of such mode of warfare. Whilst
they have been boisterously casing, the
American party has been quietly and stead
lily working, undermining their fortresSes,
and on Tuesday next intend to blow them
"sky high" Notwithstanding all the boasts
Of the democratic blufing committee, we
TIL our friends that they may confidently
rely upon handsome gains in East Tennes-
see. The information we have received
from that quarter, within the last twenty
four hours, encourages US in the belief o.
this fact, and we are as well satisfied of its
correctness as we can be at anything yet
to happen If the balance Of the State
will do as we'll as East Tennessee promises
to do, and as we believe she will do, the
State is ours, certain. So, keep up the fire,
Americans of Middle and West Tennessee,
and a splendid victory awaits you.

The war of 1912, has been justly called
the Second Declaration of American indie
pendence 1t taught the despots of Eu-
rope that the dcspised Republic was able to
protect and maintain her rights on land
and on the ocean. 1t exalted the charac-
ter of American aims, and magnifed the
Importance of our nation in the eyes of the
whole civilized world. James Buchanan,
whilst that glorious war was in progress,
was federalist, and opposed to it; even
after its brilliant close, he denounced it as
rash and desperate. Tennesseans covered
themselves with renown in that war. Is
there one Of the gallant heroes of New Or
leans, or descendant of those heroes,
within her borders, who will not on Tues
day next deposite his suffrage in the bal
lot-box against the old federalist, and thus
teach him that they are not willing to raise
to the highest Office in the world a man
whose want of chivalry caused him to OPP
pose most bitterly one of the brightest
passages of American History?

Federalism! What is Federalism? The
democratic leaders of Tennessee, until the
present year, have, on all occasions, held
up federalism as something so monstrous in
its wickedness, all true friends of repre-
tative government ought to shun it as they
would the plague. But now, they seldom
mention it. Their candidate for President
started out in life federalist. He gave
federalism the benefit of his purest and best
exertions; at time, too, when the nation
was involved in war and his allies of the
Hartford Convention stripe, were sending
up blue lights-similar TO those sent up by
his partisanS here at their Arch on the
night of their cOEvention-to warn the enc
my of the approach of danger. Are there
not thousands of old line democrats in Ten
neSsee who will refuse to aid in the eleva-
ton of such chief to the Presidency?
Who can doubt it, that has not lost faith
in mankind?
