into the expedieney of recognizing the Cir

the ground that all sections should have just
and fair representation.

preme Court declared the fugitive slave law
constitutional, the gentleman would carry it

to the Court, renounce his opinion as to the
fugitive slave law.

cheney of the Navy, which provides Tor the

ed without amendments, by vote of l59

Mr.. Orr, from the select committee to in
quire into the alleged corrupt combination of
members, reported resolution charging the
field Of their inquiry from the commencement

them to measures now pending, and asking
to be empowered to employ clerk.
The resolution was adopted. Adjourned.

The New PosTAGE LAw.-lt may not be
generally known that Congress has verv re-
Gently passed an act making prepayment of
postage on all transient printed matter obi-
gatory before it can be transported in the
mails of the United States-a capital provision
indeed. In order to carry out this law the
Postmaster. General has established the fol-
lowing additional post office regulations,
which should be preserved for reference by all
who may have occasion to send newspapers
and Pamphlets, &C., now and then to distant
friends. They are as follows:
|. Books, not weighing over four pounds,
may be sent in the mail pre- paid by postage
stamps, at one cent an ounce any distance in
the United States under 5000 miles, and at
two cents an ounce over 5000 miles, provided
they are put up with cover or wrapper, or
IN cover or wrapper, oper at the ends or
sides, so that their character may be deter
mined without removing the wrapper.
2. Unsealed circulars, advertisements, bu-
siness cards, transient newspapers, and every
other article of transient printed matter, ex~
cept books, not weighing over three ounces, sent
in the mail to any part of the United States,
are chargeable with one cent postage each, to
be prepaid by postage stamps. Where more
than one circular is printed on a sheet, or a
circular and letter, each must be charged with
a single rate This applies to lottery and other
kindred sheet assuming the form and name
of newspapers and the miscellaneous matter
in such sheets must also be charged with one
rate. A business card on an unsealed envel-
ope of a circular subjects the entire packet to
letter postage. Amy transient matter, like a
circular or handful, inclosed in or with per-
iodical or newspaper, sent to a subscriber. or
to any other person, subjects the whole pack
age to letter postage; and whenever subject
to letter postage, from being sealed or from
any case whatever all printed matter, with
out exception, must be prepaid or excluded
from the mail. 1t is the duty OF the Postmas-
ter at the mailing office, as well as at the of.
flee of delivery, carefully to examine all prin-
ted matter, in order TO see that it is charged
with the proper rate of postage and to detect
fraud. AT offices where postage stamps can
not be procured, Postmasters are authorized
to receive money in prepayment of postage
on transient matter; but they should be care
tul to keep supply of stamps on hand.
