 THEY TRY TO RAISE THE PosrAGE.--Every person, when mailing letter should remember that but for the Republicans in Congress, he would pay an add- tiona tax of seventy per cent. imposed by the ad- ministration. The effort to impose this additional tax will be repeated at the next session. and every vote given for the administration ticket will be counted as strengthening the administration policy It is true that the administration managers at Mid dletown, knowing this additional tax to be odious and unpopular here, have declared themselves op- posed to this measure of the administration, yet every vote given for their ticket will be considered as sustaining the party and its measures Whoever therefore votes for their ticket will indirectly and incidentally, at least vote to increase the postage tax which twice passed the Senate, where the ad- ministration has the ascendancy. Every Republi- can in the Senate and House opposed it. | THE FINGER OF WALL STREEr.-Public sentiment being decided and emphatic against the Adminis- tration, the managers and candidates resorting to the of money.
