OCEAN MAIL SERVICE.

Contemporaries affords an interesting subject of con
temptation, 10; the iess agreeable because it s,imu
ates in some degree sense of the udicrous. The
patronizng manner in which all sections OF our coun
try are calmly advised to submit gracefully to pro-
vincal dependence the great city, which, we are
olds matter OF necessity mot to be overrued by our
Efforts for independence Is nowhere more apparent
| than in the columns of these newspapers which now
express such gentle compassion Tor the weakness of
congressional attempts at general distribution OF
government patronage in The form Of subvenons
| TO ocean mail steamers. Hitherto, New York has
enjoyed the cole benefit of this sort OF federal bouE
ty. Many Of us have been disposed TO fhurnur at
this supposed partially, which some Of our people
have been Obtuse enough to regard nothing less
than m invidious monopoly. New light il breaking
in upon us. The "llerald" aud some Of lis immedi-
ate neighbors have at sst undertaken TO enlighten
public sentiment.
We are informed that this species OF govern
Inent pap is sort of diet too strong for weak sto
machsi that New York is the only city in all the
Union that can support, even with governmental aid,
the desirable commercial facility of line of mail
steamers; that if Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Norfolk, Charleston or New Orleans shall be allowed
10 nourish their commerce at the national crib, they
will seriously injure their constitutions by indulgence
in indigestibe food.
Now we have never been disposed to dispute the
fact, that the great commercial city, in whose pros
perty we entertain just pride, unites with the vo
raciiy OF a cornorant the digestive faculties OF al
ostrich But We were, nevertheless ignorant OF the
benefit which its capricious benevoeDce had bestow
ri on Y i'm oh pl on DA
trouage. And in spite OF the warning received we
confess TO hankerng after the h.sh.po;s. We are
still disposed to iask for subven,ons to a line of
steamers between Norfolk and Nantes and to ano.
,her line between Norfolk and Rio de Janero.
We had occasion, some time since, to review the
bill introduced by Mr.. Florence, for the establish
meni OF elk ocean post routes between the United
States and Europe and South America. The follow
ing calculation. which we find appended TO the same
bill, will serve in some measure to paate the error
involved in our pre- conceived objections 10 the mo-

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE CHILDREN TO

not alone through tho persaasona of gifted orators
and statesmen nut the children of the land spon,ane
ousy enter into the spirit of the work, and with their
tiny hands bring offerings of love to the tomb Of
Washington.
A little boy, eight years Of age steps forth as
"young knight of Mount Vernon" and among
his paymates, collects the sum OF fourteen dol.
lars, which he sends to the Regent Of the
Association. Are there not other boys in Virginia
who will initiate the beautiful example OF Willie b.
Minor of Richmond, and show that the children OF
the native State of George Washington, rise up to
bleas hmf
South Carolina and other States have also sent in
subscriptions from the schools, and surely no more
unselfsh offerings poured into the treasury than
those coming from the hearts Of generous and enhu-
