IMPORTANT TO POSTMASTERS.-POstm as ters
are remi nded that the sending of notices 10
,ariies having letters detained for non-pay-
ment of postage is at all times mere matter
ofcourtesy and that this courtesy is not to be
sho wn where the failure to prepay in whole
or in part is clearly Intentional upon the part
of The writer. Such an intention may be fair
" presumed where large numbers of unpaid
letters are deposited by The same person, espe-
cally if that person be alottery dealer or
where a letter, intended to go by mail, bears
but a single one-cent stamp. In cases of the
latter kind the letter is neither to be forward
ed as postpaid. nor is any notice to be given to
the party addressed.
Tie attention of the Post Office Department
has been called 10 this subject by various per-
sons who, through the eil-intended courtesy
of ostmaster nave been induced to pay the
postage upou certain 'grand schemes" and ex-
tensiye circulars, addressed 10 them by cunning
operators III the lottery business.

OpDosition Convention.

~ u meeting of the State Opposition Com
mittse, held in this city on the 18th instant, ii
was resolved to postpone the holding of the
Convention Of that party from the 18th of De-
cprnJer until the 22d day of February next
THE reason assigned is, that the excited state
of feeling in the Commonwealth is not faVora-
bic to 4 calm aud reflective survey of the diff
culties and embarrassments which now dis
turb the peace and harmony OF the country
The hope is expressed that the lapse OF short
period of time may restore the public mlnd
to its calm and moderate tone, and bring
forth a distinct demonstr of soun0er
and more conservative sentiment.
