POSTAL REFORM.

This is question exciting somo attention in
Northern commercial cities. The penny postage
Of England, which is source of revenue to the
Government, is quoted as IL reason why further
reduction should be made in the United Statcs
1t ~ argued that reduction of postage to ,wo
cents Will increase the circulation OF letters, and
that the revenue of the Department will be the
same.
reduction Of ono cent. will scarcely aft ct
the circulation of letters. We take it that the
circulation. in any govcrnmc cnt, will ALWAYS bo
III proportion 10 the intelligence and business
wants OF the people. There is this difference TO
be regarded in the United States and England :.
Our population is sparse and the area over
which our mails are transported is immeuselv
greater than that of England and the cost Of
transportation must necessarily be more. Be.
sides, the circulation of letters in a commercia,
and manufacturing community, will exceed that
OF an agricultural people.

admirable speech of the above gentleman, dev-
cred in Congress, upon the proposition to print
ten thousand copies of the Pre- idcnt's Message.
His views upon the rights Of Territories, Squat

The appreciation Of his entire constituency.
This vcxed question, the wrangling about the
Territories and slavery therein, could be eusiIy
disposed of by making it the settled policy of
the Government, that no Territory should l,av e
the power to lesslatc either for or against slnve.

THE SUGAR CROP.

lhe sugar crop, II is supposed, Of 1856, will
not exceed 100000 hogslends, being failure of
more than two-thrds. The failure is attributed
to the destruction of the seed by tho severity of
the winter of 1855. Hundreds Of the sugar plant
ations of Louisiana, have, this year, been plan
ted in cotton, because Of the inability of plan
ters to obtain the seed to plant in sugar.
The high price of this article effects the
sumers throughout the Union, and tho question of
removing the 90 per cent duty,.will find its way
into the national legislature. The citizens of
Baltimore huve petitioned Congress upon the
subject While it is true, that removal of this
duty on foreign sugar, would be to the interest of
the consumer; yet it might prove ruinous to the
sugar growing interest of the Southern States.
However, if the removal of the duty on sugar
could he followed up with general reform and
reduction of the tariff, a withdrawal of the spc-
cial fayors aud bounties dispensed in the North,
in the shuPe Of high protective duties upon all
foreign manufactured goods if this result could
be sccompished-if just equalization Of gov
ernment bountics to tho two sections could DO
effected by this removal, We should sny that al.
though it is almost the only article of Southern
production, which receives the least protection.

The Editor Of the Southsidc Democrat, who
has been ON II visit to Whoatland gives the fol-
lowing as his impression of the views of Mr..
Bucn.SAN upon tho Squatter Sovereignty ques.
tion

elementary principles of sclfgovcrnmcnt en-
bodied in the Kansas n cLraska ucts and in pre-
pared to follow wlithersoev-r these principles

slave or free territory.
"Thc opinion ho entcrtains is that the Terri
tories of tho Union arc the common property of
the States. equally open to settlement by the
citizens of ull that when these Territories are
ready for admission as States, then, and not I'M
Ill then. their people have the right to meet in

their organic laws, the character of their do

MIR. buchanan now, anil is not newly conceived
nasmuch as it liz identical with that contained
in his letter to Mr. Sandford as far back us lS4S.
II is tho satnc opinion repeatedly announced by
his confidential friend, Mr. j. Clancy Jones, OH
the floor OF tho House Of Representatives,
gentleman who, by the way, voted in committee
ut Cincinnati to incorporate distinct expression
of this view in the national platforom Of the

John Mitchell on Foreiga Induenee-I,

John Mitchell on Foreign Induence.-In
u recent lecture by John Mitchell, Mt Bos-
ton, on foreign influence, the speaker gave
tho following conception of what is truly
the foreign influence to be apprehendcd Ivy
the people of the United States. The re-
port is from the Boston JouruOk:
Upon this matter of foreign influence |
much inetfablc nonsense had been written.
Lilo would try and get at the root of the
matter; and in the first place would admit
that the true life of any nation lay in its
pure, devoted, national spirit. If foreign
Influence got foothold in any nation, it
forcshadowcd national death, and it beloved
every good citizen to cast it out. Wash
ington put his countrymcn OH their guard
against foreign influence, but he did not re-
commend drawing line between citizens
of our own soil, and it was an imputation
OIL the memory of Washington to give that
Washington only and solely feared the in
fluence of the British, government in its
morality, opinions, fashions and literary do
minion. And what Washington guarded
his countrymcn against has come to pass.
England has SO thoroughly extended the
dominion Of her opinion over America,
that she is in that regard 4 mere province
of the British Empire. Emerson, in n par
oxism o' Anglo-Saxon tlunkeyism, had ac-
knowlcdged and gloried in this fact
Hence it followed that American books
were mere echoes and mimicres of British
authors, and American newspapers were
transcripts Of English Esehou,ls. And for
these foreign opinions, said the lecturer, we
have more than the required tax on tea,
against which all America rose in arms"
