says:

POSTAL MATTERS

The power Of nation is known by her
intellectual greatness. Our postal intcr>
course is matter Of peculiar Importance
and should be studird well by our Lcgisla-
! tors and placed on some solid basis. The
! National Post Office should nat be ccnyer-
| ted into n source Of revenue, until the de-
| mands of the people are satisfied and her
mission in that respect complete. It's Lu-
sincss is the Transmission Of private cor.
respondencc, printed intelligence and mon.
cy, of which, it should take the most cspe.
clAl care. The Post Office should be sup.
ported by the most liberal legislation and
Its demands carefully and promptly sup
Piled, for if there is any Branch of the Gen
crai Government which concerns every one.
it is the Post Office. Our individual and
national interests are more promoted bv
this Branch of Government than all tb,.
rest beside. 1t is my opinion that our pos.
tal Laws should be rcmodclied that n uni.
form rate of Postage be cxactcd by pre.
payment on alI matter except Newspapers
and Magazines, forwarded to actual and
bona lida subscribers of the same, issuing
immediately from the Press, and that no
mail matter exceeding sixteen ounces in
weight should be transported by mail =
Post Routes should be established where
the country demand it, and the Government
look more TO the interest of the people. It
is fact apparent to all that our mail faciH-
ties are not adequate 10 the demands of the
people in remote sections, nor can it affect
the good it was Intended to, until an i'm
provemcnt is made in this respect, ms was
originally designed by National Post OF.
flee. Post Office laws, postage and all mat.
ters pertaining to the government of the
same, should be simple and easily under.
stood by all, at least, by those who have
the performance of them. There also
should be some better arrangements made
for the transmission Of valuable letters, or
some certainty given 10 the sender, that it
will reach its destination in safety, rs the
present mode Of registering falls far short
of affecting any security whatever and is

The above may be considered high pIices
MS the terms Of credit were short. This
species Of property, however is sure to
bring its value in Lancaster; in fact, her
reputation for paving long prices was 30
great few years since, that negroes were
brought from adjoining Districts to be sold
here. We are not satisfied that this is the
best way to Invest money at the presen:
prices, and am rather inclined TO think they
are above their proper value but iu justice
to thQse who buy here, it is proper to state
that negroes are seldom bought with view
of speculation-those huying, expec ting
and do pay for them from their Incomes
A gentleman of intelligence and extended
information, remarked TO us the other day,
that Lancaster District was very nearly free
from debt, more so at this time, than she
has been for several years, aud his remarks
agree with our own observation. We have
but few very rich men, but by far the larg-
er class arc good livers, and generally own
really, "a much as they appear to.
Considerable other property was sold,
and all, we thought, at good prices. Pro.
visions aeemed TO be high-corn especially
and this fact should certainly suggest to
our people the policy and proprcty, of de-
voting moro attention to this crop. The
season is not too far advanced for this hin,
to be made available the present year.
