PRoGREss OF THE PoLITIcAL AGITATION IN
THE COMMERCIAL WoRID.-The effects of the
present exciting political agitation of the sla-
very question upon the commerce of the coun-
try, are being demonstrated in the South by a
novel system-namely, that of separating the
different commercial houses Of the North into
classes according to the political tendencies Of
their proprietors. In this city, and in many
other Northern ones. bureaus are now estab-
ished for the purpose of discovering the politi
cal afinities of the business houses and noting
the firms who are known to be tainted with
abolition principles, and those who are Of
sound conservative and constitutional opinions
These bureaus are conducted somewhat upon
the system Of mercantile agencies, and. for
aught we know, these agencies themselves may
have found it desirable to attach such bureaus
to their establishments.
This is significant omen; and it is but the
prelade to a serious move on the part of che
South, which will ultimately result in commer
cial troubles, bankruptcies, and endless ukgs-
ton among mercantile men.

The Question OF the Succcssion-yVhat
VIII be Done at Charlcston.


As only very short time-but little more
than two months-will elapse before the meet
ing of the Charleston Convention, the poll
ticians throughout the country, by speeches,
letters and addresses, in the press and public
meetings, and especially in Congress, are bust
ly engaged in arranging the record of their
political services, endeavoring to cover up
their little errors and their great blunders,
cutting, carving and trimming their political
clothes to suit the exigencies of the time and
the taste of the people, bushing up their old
ideas, inherited from the fathers of the repub-
lie, reviving the constitutional and conserva-
tive principles of the great statesmen who
have reflected lustre upon the history of the
country, and generally making themselves
masters Of the position Of the pieces upon the
grea. backgammon board the game upon
which has already been opened at Washington,
and which will duly wind up at Charleston.
Among the most important of these move
ments on the part Of the politicians of the day
may be found in the course Of Senator Douglas.
In the Senate, on Monday, he made lengthy
and elaborate speech upon his own resolution:
THAT the Committee on the Judiciary be in
structed TO report bill for the protection of
each State and Territory Of the Union against
invasion by the authorities or inhabitants of
any other State OF Territory; and for the sup
preston and punishment Of conspieacies or
combinations in any State or Territory, with

CIRCULATION OF THE HERALD.

We have received the following note from the
Postmaster of this city constituting the NEW YORK
HsEALD the medium for the publication of tho list
Of uncalled for letters at the city Post Ofice:-
Posi- oFricS, NEW YORK, Jan. "a, 1850
JAMES CoRsos BssSErT, ESQ.,,
Publisher OF the HERALD
StR-Upon an examination of the papers submitted ia the
competition for advertising the lists of uncaed for letters
have decided to such publication the Nav YORK
HARsLD.
Very respectfully, your ODE iient servant,
ISAAC V. FOWLER, Postmaster.
These uncalled for letters according to an act of
Congress, can only be published in the paper
hSing the largest circulation and, with the pro-
per evidence before him. the Postmaster has de-
cidcd that the NEW YORK HERALD has the largest
GaIy circulation of any journal in the metropolis,
and, we may safely add, in the world.
We DO not care for these weekly lists of letters
We accept them merely as an evidence Of the ex-
tensive circulation Of our paper. With large cir
culation, like that of the HERALD the price paid by
the government does not remunerate us for the
paper on which the lists are printed We are
in hopes that Congress will yet alter the law,
and pay for the space occupied by these lists
of letters in the same way and at the same rate
that merchants theatrical managers, mechanics,
Chambermaids, cooks and others pay for their ad-
vertisements In all business transactions govern.
mens are only individuals, and should not be al.
lowed to fix the price of anything they desire. The
circulation Of ne wspapers like competition in trade,
should regulate this matter. Taiors fix the price
of the coats they sell: newspapers should decide
upon the price of an advertisement
Apropos of these letter lists and our business
one of our weekly contemporaries has recently boast
fully published their receipts for few weeks, in
comparison with those of the HERALD, which we're
previously published and claim superiority. This
mode of parading figures would do very well if not
disingenuously DONE Our receipts related simply to
the DAILY HERALD; those of our contemporary were
from their weekly subscribers. Their receipts are
at the close and beginning of each year. Other
periods are comparatively barren months to them.
The bes. way to test this matter is to publish the
entire daily receipts of each establishment for each
year for ten years back. This will settle the point
that is now causing so much anxiety to number
of obscure editors and publishers, whose receipts
for q year scarcely amount to one days income
of this establishment or that of our weekly cotem
porary.
Meanwhile, let Congress abolish all arbitrary and
fixed prices for work to be done for government
When that is accomplished, lists Of letters propo-
sails for loans and contracts appear in journals
having large calculations Mere party papers, with
out character ana without circulation, perform
the work now, and the public never know what is
done.

The Attacks OF the Albany Argus ON MT.
O'Conor-Identity or Sewardism and the
Albany Regency Doctrines.


The atlas, organ of the Albany Regency of
Cassidy, Cagger 4 Co., insists that Mr.. O'Conor
and Mr.. Seward hold the same position in rela-
ton to the greet question now agitating the
country, and comments in carping and hostile
spirit on the able speech delivered by Mr.. O'Co-
nor at the Union meeting in this city.
The impotence, ignorance and hypocrisy of
this assertion are worthy of the old Buffalo plat
form men, who now compose the Albany Re-
gency Of the democratic party in this State
While Mr.. O'Conor has taken position which,
from the FIRST postulate to the last deduction, is
antagonistic to that Of Mr.. Seward, the Albany
Regency of Cassidy, Cagger & Co. start with
Seward from the same admission Of facts, and
travel hand in hand with him up to certain point
in the argument Both of them assert that the
institution of slavery, itexists in the Southern
States, is an evil, sin and crime Seward
follows out the argument from this premise
with logical precision. He would abolish sla-
very from the land The law stands in the way:
he appeals 10 higher law" The Constitution
prohibits any interference with the institution OF
slavery; he would abrogate the Constitution
The people are averse to this abrogation; he
would spur them on to it by inaugurating a
brutal war, after the fashion of John Brown
until the evil, the sin. and tie crime shall have
disappeared in flames and blood. Cassidy,
Cagser & Co. march with him only part of
the way. They, too, find that slavery is an
evil, and they inscribe the fact upon their Buf-
falo flag. They would exclude 1t from the Ter
rtories- they would hedge it in and smother it:
bat when they come up tn the barrier of the
Constitution, they smell the ia. spoils in The
Fedetal kitchen, and they will 60 no farther.
There they halt hungering after the flesh pots
and spells OF the White House. Some OF their
old companions refuse TO be held back by the
hopes of Office, but continue ON under the lead
ership of Preston King, and are found to-day,
side by side With Seward, hamnering with the

any divine origin Of the title. Now, it is
maxim in political philosophy that those who

progress to do so. And this proves that Napo-.

not get so good terms as what Napoleon de-
sires to secure for him. 1t is highly probable
that he would lose Rome as well "a the rest Of
his dominions, and that be would be eyied, as
he was eleven years ago, and rs the Dukes of
Northern Italy are now. He owes his restora-
ten TO Napoleon, and he owes the most ad-
vantsgeous terms he can now obtain to the
same great statesman. II Is, therefore as no
grateful as II il unwise on the part OF the Pope

OF the country who have heretofore

I'm. The number and frequency Of
these changes, which are recorded in
favor of the Republican cause, is one
Of the cheering Characters of the pres
ent campaign, and augurg certain veto,
ry in November next.
But encouraging rs may be the political
aspect Of the times, for the success of
the Republican ticket it should by no
means conduce, to any relaxation
.ot effort on the part Of any Republican
1t should rather imulate to increased
activity, to render the triumph in No
yember more signal and complete. Let
oRepu)lican be content with a mere
resolve 20 60 to the polls and vote
thus much every good citizen will do !;
something more than this is demanded
The organization in no town or neigh>
borhood is yet So complete as it might
be: without systematic organization, it
is impossible to secure full Republican
vote. In the matter of organization,
there vt remains much work to be
done. Public documents bearing upon
the issue Of the present political contest
need to be circu atod in every neigh
borhood every voter should have
placed within hs reach, such political
facts as will enable him to vote under
standingly.
1t is earnestly hoped, that the town
committees thai have not already per-
.ected compile list of the voters in
their respective towns, will lose no time
in having it done Only five weeks
intervene before the election, and those
i've weeks should be devoted to
yigillant effort. Let it be the determin
ed purpose to have every voter at the
polls this fall; let not single
Republican be LETT behind, except for
the utter imp possibility of his attendance.
Our Bepublican brethren in other
States, are laboring with a will that
deserves success; our zeal contrasted
with that in many localities, is compar.

earnestly until the 9th Of November
next, anl contribute our full share to
the triumph, which shall redeem our
Union flom mjsrule, and NAL

ment in the eyes of the civilized
world, is our National shame let il
become our National glory by the
Inauguration Of Republican rule, and
thus restoring the government to the
principles of Jefferson and the early
fathers of tn c Republic.

AGE OF IMPROVEMENT.

Only few years since, all kind OF
needlework and sewing was done by
hand; now it is estimated that even
two thirds of the same labor is done
by the aid of machines; in fact, the
the process Of sewing is so simplihed
that not over one tenth of the actual Ia
Dor is required to accomplish the same
end. In this connection allow me to
state, that I have had one ofthose ''la-
bor>saving ornaments" for a year past
in my family, and would not be with
out it for any consideration. To all
those who are delaying the purchase
