INCREASE or PosrAGE.-The Senate
by a decided majority voted to increase
thepostage onletters under 5000 miles to
cents, and for over 5000 to ten CENTS
The proposition to increase the rates OF
postage was warmly and ably resisted
by Senator Seward, but passed by a
democratic vote-every vote for the in.
crease fpostago being given by demo-
crats, o in number. Every republican
in the senate. when the vote was taken,
voted no.
The House on the 18th. inst refused to
concur in the proposed increase Of post
are. The argument for the increase OF
postage is, the aggregate expenses of
the Postoffice Department, are greater
than the aggregate proceeds, therefore
the rates Of postage must be increased
to meet the deficiency. In other words
the Post Office Department must be SO
conducted as to pay its own expenses.
This is simply absurd. Congress annu.
ally appropriates millions for the sup.
port Of other departments Of the GOV.
erument of infinitely less Importance ia
the people. The deficiency in the Post
Office Department is comparatively
small other public expenditures might
annually be curtailed millions Of dollars
and the nation snfler no Inconvenience
whatever. Why then tax intelligence
the true strength and power ola repub.
lican government? 1t is the policy OF
despotisms to impose burdens upon
the circulation Of intelligence whether
written or printed. The true policy Of
our government should be, to put oui
mail facilities within the reach of every
citizen and the postage at such rates, as
will allow the humbIest individual tc
correspond freely, without the burden.

CONGRESS.

We have nothing definite Of the final
proceedings of Congress. There have
been many extrayagant appropriations
during the last days of the session; q
most unwarrantable distribution OF
money for political fayoritism. Bills
invoking the appropriation of millions
of money have been voted Icy the Sen.
ate without debate or investigation
And while this squandering is going
on, the President is begging for more
money. The House has succeeded in
checking some Of the extrayagancies
of the Senate.

Congressional Extravaganza.

The extravaganza tendencies Of our
General Government are such rs to Just
ly excite apprehension of coming embar
easements, if not absolute bankruptcy.
Indebtedness is continually accumula-
ting; the President calls for loans, Con
gress grants them; but still the nation
is in debt. 1t is estimated that the def
cheney in the treasury on the 1st of Ju-
ly next will be $42, 100000. The expen-
SEES in the various departments are in
creased at rate entirely disproportion-
ate to the services rendered, or the in
crease of population. The following
from q correspondent of the New York
independent is an example of the indi-
rect manner Congress takes to increase
the salary Of the President
" While the Constitution expressly
provides that the salary of the President
shall not be increased during his term
of Office, yet the simple provision is
avoided by appropriations for his house
hold expenses. Let me give. your read
ers some extracts from the Appropriation
Bills, showing the indirect way of in
creasing the Presidents salary for the
fiscal year to come -
