HE STRIKE IMPROVED.

A considerable number Of the ShOemakers Of
New England are now on strike for higher wages
than those which their late employers think they
can afford to pay and il is quite likely that their
number may be Increased. We suggest, therefore,
TO Messrs. Hunter Toombs, JEFF. Davis, Curry,
Pryor &c, that this Strike affords an excellent
opening for demonstration.
WHY should not these gentlemen, relieving each
other by squads, establish and maintain mlsso nary
society for the emancipation Of the benghted and
unhappy laborers Of New-England and the North
from their present state of chronic anxiety, depend
ence and want and their elevation to the security
and benignity Of Chattelism1 Let Messrs. Toombs
and Pryor come up here. call our unemployed,
needy, discontinued laborers together, and expound
10 them the blessings within their reach, but which
they have hitherto disparaged or neglected Let
them set forth, in eloquent and seductive phrase,
tie advantages of being seyeraly sold at the town
post TO masters, who, having paid the highest
price for them respectively would Of course
treat them more indulgently aud subslst
them more generously than any one who could not
afford TO pay so high price for them would do

POSTAL REFORM.

We venture to assure the Republican Members
of Congress tbat the People will be- Glow to COM
prehend excuses for leaving unimproyed the present
opportunity to get rid of that conspicuous nuisance
the Franking Privilege. They VIII care very little
for the presumptivc reasons for the recent action OF
the Senate The indictments to its course may
have been ever so partisan, paltry, factions; but
what of that There is now a clear opportunity to
get rid of the master anomaly Of our age and cOun-
tfy-that which makes the majority pay not only
for carrying their own letters but those of the mi
norty also, the latter having theirs carried for
nothing. Such Injustice can only be maintained by
keeping the millions in ignorance of its true char
acter. Its downfall is a question of time only.
The arguments (by courtesy for maintaining the
FraDking Privilege are all wide Of the question Il
[ b. proper that a Member of Congress should be
enabled to consult his constituents free Of
cost, let specific allowance of one thousand,
FIVE thousand-if you will, ten thousand
postage stamps be made to each Member-tlree-
cent stamps q Members from the States
this eide of the Rocky Mountains, and ten
cent stamps TO those from the Pacific slope: each
being required at the close Of the session. to return
all he may not have personally used. In other
words, if Congress wants to use the Mails, let
Congress pay for such use ustlike blacksmith
or fiddler Jack. But writing mans name-no
matter how distiI guished or hcnorable-on the
corner Of letter or paper does not pay the post
age, any more than whistling jigs to milestone
may be counted on to get up granite coiilon.
AS to the shape of the proposed reform, we
are not tenacious, but the most impartial and
thorough suits US best We, for instance, receive
several pecks of exchange newspapers daily, which
the department receives, conveys and delivers
without charge. We, of course, find this cOnven.

to receive our TelegTaphic Dispatches and Foreign
Correspondence On the same lay; but if We did not
pay for them, somebody else would have 20; and
why should We escape that charge, or others be
subjected TO il We are quite familiar with the
plausblites urged in favor of this exemption, but
they do not convince that there is any better rule
for this case than the good old one Of letting every
tub stand Oh It's own bottom. II so shall over bo
