A bill is now before the Legislature whereby the
Public Printing of our Stateis to be jobbed out, as
heretofore, for the sustenance Of certain party
journals the ride. and tie principle well under
stood at our State Capital 1t can hardly be neces
sary to state that we are in favor Of giving out all
Public Printing, State or Federal, by contract to
the lowest responsible bidder. With regard to ad-
yertise ments, we would have their price regulated
BY law, also the number of journals in which those
of each description should respectively be inserted
and then we would have each officer use his dis
cretion within the limits of the law. If 1t be
deemed necessary to have them all appear IN u
single gazette let one be published on purpose by
the State, containing only oficis matter and al
forded to subscribers st cost. 1t is probably ar
ranged that Mr.. LOvelands bill shall pa's' but the

ported the maintenance and extension OF her lnstuu'
fons within the limits Of the Union and beyond then
and her means of defense and security from aggres'

Since the fre-eaters are reconciled to the ne

sst in disObeyDg the express orders OF the Society
with regard to that subject.

The Sehsharie Democratic Republican, has two
Editors, one Of whom has just been appointed to a
So 900 berth in our Custom House, while the other
has no Federal Office that we are aware Of. This
breeds very natural discrepancy of views between
these two leading Democrats-the salaried one
taking the side of Lecompson, while the other
goes with Douglas; and they fight out their difference
in parallel columns of the same paper This open
d;Berepce is calculated to breed discord in the
nemocratic ranks even in old Scboharie, where

,ivsl for the supreme authority.

Our iocose contemporary The Herald, has an ar
ticle on what it calls " the steady decline of our
.sunfortunate contemporary THE TRIBUNE"
wherein ii INDUCES in this cautious mode of nsin-
uatiDg untruth:
1T Is commonly reported In this wicked world ths, TnE
NV YORK WEEKLy TRIBUNE has lost within the past twelve
months one half It's crculstiOn-'
We meet these innuendoes by the statement of
few raghtforward facts:
|. The WEEKLY TRIBUNE has this day more
circulation than any other political and genera
newspaper in the world.
g Its circulation exceedsby at least Fifty Thou
sand that of The N,c York Herald in It's three sew
eral editions, DAILY, Weekly and Family all to-
getber.
g. The circulation of THE TRIBUNE, in its sew
ersl editions, is at least One Hundred Thousand
greater than that of Tile HeraM in its several
editions.
a. 1t is greater than that of any other tIco news
papers in America
If The Herald pretends to doubt the correct
meas of the above statements, we propose that i'm
partial arbiters be chosen to verify the circulation
of our respective journals and report it to the
public-sald report to be printed thrice conspicu-
Ously under the Editorial head of each journal.
Should The Herald see fit to skuk away from
the acceptance of this profTer, the public will hold
us excused from noticing its ridiculous gasconade
hereafter.

WhoIesome Reforms,

The Senate Post Office Committee, it is said, will
shortly bring forward proposition changing the
present system of ocean mail service, aud aboshiDg
the franking privilege. Their intention is believed
TO be TO allow more for the transportation of the
ocean mails, in any service, than the postage re-
ceived frOp that particular source. The Depart
msnt is understood to sanction the adoption of such
