ADVICE TO PosTIAsTER- GENERAL BRowN.-As
Sir. PoStmaster-Ge General Brown has arrived in
town to-day, it seems a proper occasion to re-
mind him of the sentiment of the great CONNER
cial metropolis of the Union in reference to the
project preached by him in his late report of
raising the postage from three to five cents Mr,
Brown being retired southern planter, and not
having maintained, in days past, very intimate
personal contact with the populous communities
OF his enlightened fellow-countrymen who read
and write and have business, which makes the
cheapness of mail cariage of Importance to
them, will thank US for informing him that the
sentiment of New York is decidedly and unani-
mously against him.
New Workers do not agree either with Post
master Brown or the Presidents MESSAGE that
the Post Office, more than any other department.
should be self-sustaining, and therefore thew do
not admit the force of the argument that the
revenues have declined, as countenancing the
proposed change. On the contrary, they believe
It's original aud paramount purpose was not
revenue, but the convenience of the people and
the establishment of good feeling and intimacy
between the different sections Of the Union.
Our southern democracy, and our sectional
President and Postmaster General, cannot get
this doctrine through their heads; but let us
assure them, 1t is regarded, nevertheless, as an
elementary truth here at the North.
Even admitting the doctrine that the Post.
Office should support itself, the Postmaster has
instructed his efforts. The transportation of
mails Is costly in proportion TO their weight and
the great bulk of the mails consists of unpaid
and unread Congressional documents sent Mt the
expense of the Department. Let Postmaster
Brown use his efforts to abolish the Thanking
privilege, and he will not only do popular SER
vice, but make the Postoffice support ITSELF

The papers inst now have Mr.. Buchanan
slightly on the hip. They are publishing deli
cate moroccan from the editorial pen of his bosom
friend Bennett, of the n. Y. Herald, written Aug.
LIST, 1856, during the campaign, when the virtu-
Gus Bennett was urging Fremont's election. 1t
is supposed that it is in return for this attering
testimonial of high moral character that
Mr.. Buchanan has recently shown such an
anxiety that Bennett should have special adj
vance copy of his message. The editorial in
question was headed
'sTuR GREAT GRoG QUESTION AT WHEATIASD.
- Who could have believed it? referring
to the statement of his correspondent And
yet the very fact that Mr.. Buchanan has lived
all his life respectable old bachelor, affords at
once substantial ground of belief. The phi
losOphy of the case is very simple. An old
bachelor, living in retired country house, can
not flourish upon books and newspapers and his
three meals day. He needs something more.
Man is 4 social animal, and cannot exist as a
rational or useful man without society. Put him
in house as the master and mistress, and the
administration of its affairs will inevitably run
into disorder, and he must necessarily fall into
outside social Substitutes to supply the absence
of wife and children. He will gather about him
a circle of jolly good fellows, vagabonders, wild
young chaps and free-and-easy old codgers, of
the Party to which he belongs, who will drink
his wines, hatter him, humbug him aad manage
him just as Col. Forney and his set have man
aged and are managing Mr. Buchanan. a wife
IN the house admits of no such family arrange
meuts But how could wesexpecta genial, we'll
TODD old bachelor, for twenty years, more or
less, a candidate for the Presidency, to escape
such associations and amusements?
1t is said that Mr. Buchanan in the flower of
has manhood was crossed in his first love, and
never had the courage to look after another. 1t
is said that the young lady, driven to despair
by the despotic course of hard hearted moth
er, took laudanum and died. 1t is also stated
that, upon this lamentable result, Mr.. Buchan-
an in his desperation, attempted his own life,
and that the consequence was a contraction Of
the muscles one side Of his throat, irhich gaze
him that kink or ttcist in the necE 1ehict he car
-ies to this day. At all events, according to the
reports of his own friends, his love affair was
badly managed, and case of criminal folly on
both Sides

There were three ways open to Mr. Buchanan
OF supplying the Press here with copies Of his
Message. One was to send it to them all at the
same time and on an equal footing. another
was to give the Herald copy in advance and
leave the rest TO look out for themselves. a
third was to promise it to all upon an equal foot.
ing, and then give the Heyald a special cow
Either of the first two modes wonld have been
open and above-board ofcourse neither Of
them was taken by Mr. Buchanan He pitched
upon the third as the mode most congeniaf to
his taste and most likely to accomplish the end
ne had IN view. Mr.. Buchanan has holy hor-
ror OF taking Straightforward course in any
thing. ltisnot statesmanlike. ANY fool can
De hSnest;-ean say what be means aud do
what he says. But to say one thing mean nm
other,-to promise one thing and do its on M,
site-to cheat ten men for the sake Of purchn-

They full Mr.. Buchanan's notion, of Statesman

helped him into Office, has incurred his b,treS

OF the intrinsic treachery of his nature and tls

The Pittsburgh Gazette says that the iron
manufacturers of the counties of Scioto, Law
renee and jackson, in the State of Ohio. and
from Greenup county, Kentucky, convened at
Portsmouth, on the evening of the I'd inst We
extract the following from the account of the
proceedings:
''The matters discussed were the present de-
pressed condition of the iron business of the
country; the total inability of the furnace men
tie pay the present prices for supplies and labor,
and sell pig iron at the present rates; the causes
of the low price of iron and the proper remedy
to be applied. During the discussion very many
reliable facts were disclosed, touching the sub
ject, and the conclusions generally arrived at
were First, that the continuance of the bust
ness OF manufacturing pig oron " lille the present
great d sparity between the cost of the labor,
materials and supplies employed in its manufac-
ture, and the price for which the iron could be
sold, existed, will involve every furnace in ruin
Second, that while pig iron from abroad, under
the present tariff of duties, can be imported into
thecountry and sold at so low rate as at present
there is no possible prospect of any material in-
crease in the price of our own manufacture
afford reet tue G;.,; SesRstbiDg be done to
| tacturer is to withdraw his capital and cease to
carry on that branch of business. Fourth. that
material reduction in the price of supplies and
labor would enable them, even at the present
prices of pig iron, to continue its manufacture,
0ut That such reduction, in justice to the pro-
ducer of supplies and the laborer, is not desira-
BILE, but if desirable, is wholly impracticable;
and fifth, that to induce the further prosecution
of the manufacture of pig iron in this country,
by prudent and discreet men, n considerable in.
crease in the duty imposed upon foreign impor-
tations is absolutely essential
The following resolution was adopted:
'heS0tCed, that an united and strenuous effort
be made at the approaching session of Congress.
to obtain such modification of the act of Con.
gress, as will afford moro adequate protection to
our manufacturers against the importation of
foreign iron, and thereby secure more uniformi-
ty and stability in the price OF iron in the
country; and in making said modification, the
sliding scale, be adopted"
a committee was appointed to correspond with
the iron manufacturers and others interested in
the matter, in the different States, and invite
their cooperation and aid in eFecling the pro-
posed modification.

The New Haven, Connecticut papers are still
full of the Bennett divorce case, from which we
quoted batch of rather horrible testimony, the
other day. The counsel for the defence, Gov.
Dutton, doesn't mean to deny that between the
doctor and his wife there were "little bicker-
ings"-says they are common in married life,
and were mutual; proposes to prove the faisity
of all the allegations, from throwing mashed po-
tatoes to poisoning the infant; to show that Mrs
Bennett repeatedly locked the doctor up and
wouldn't let him out; has cuffed him ten times
as much as he has kicked her; that he was gene
rous and she extravegant in regard to money;
and, concerning the grave charge of threaten
ing Mrs. Bennett with poker, that it was mere
ly an "earnestness" on his part when both
were excited. The counsel further expects to
show that Mrs. Bennett has said she had no
cause for divorce, but wished she had; that she
has said she did not love him-wished he was
dead-went to Cuba hoping he would die, and if
he did she would marry in six weeks; that she en-
tertnincd passion for young man; she met him
priv ately, and many things occurred not criminal
bntimproper; that design was formed to lay the
foundation for a bill of divorce and evidence
was made by her by putting the doctor in
doubtful position, &C. The most melancholy
testimony elected, however, is thatof Mrs Ben.
netts father She accused the doctor, it will
be remembered, of turning her venerable parent
out of doors. Iftrue, it shows deep ingratitude,
for the old gentleman, according to his own
statement, was devoted travelling agent, and
once, after spending fourteen months in efforts
