DELIVERY or LETTERS IN THE CIrY-A NEW
ORpER.-We perceive, by an order just issued
by the Postmaster General, that the system of
carrying letters by express and city post in
New York is to be suppressed henceforth. and
the delivery of letters confined to the Post Of
fee carriers. The streets and avenues of
the metropolis south Of fifty-ffth street
ere declared. in accordance with the act Of
Congress Of March, 1851. to be in future post
routes, and the delivery Of letters otherwise
than through the Post Office il prohibited.
1t is pretty we'll known that the delivery OF
city letters by means of the express companies
and .city post has heretofore been far more
prompt and satisfactory than by the Post Office
system; and we will expect that the govern
ment, in monopolizing the business, will take the
responsibility, and sec that the public do not
suffer, in time and convenience, by taking the
letter carrying out Of the hands of individuals
or companies, and assuming the whole duty
themselves.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMoCRAcY.-In another
part of this paper readers will find patriotic
and sensible letter from William ii. Welsh,
Chairman Of the Democratic State Executive
Committee Of Pennsylvania, to the Hon. Richard
Vaux. Of Philadelphia, one of the democratic
electors at large of said State. The State Com
mittee had agreed upon perfectly fair and
honorable plan Of cooperation between the
Breckenridge and the Douglas factions for their
State elections and the Presidential election,
which Mr.. Vaux. one Of the electoral ticket
appointed before the Charleston Convention,
fatty rcpudiates. He is for Douglas, make or
break Mr. Welsh answers him like practical
man, who does not care to do the work of the
black republicans at his own expense, but who
prefers to save his own party if he can. We
are told that Mr. Vaux has some grievances TO
be redressed like those of Col. Forney; but the
"sober second thought will probably put him
straight. Let the democracy carry Pennsylva-
mia, and they may elect the President; and let
them unite upon the plan Of the State Commit
tee and they will carry the State.

TBE FnArps or rsr PAcuTc MAI. STAN
CONGRATULATIONS, the detaulting secretary OF
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, was COM
nit'ed for trial yesterday by Justice Connolly,
on the double charge Of forgery and Of fraudu-
lently over Issuing stock. The bail was fixed
at $4,000, being but little more than half the
amount of which the prisoner is accused OF
having defrauded the company. His counsel
intimated that afiidavits would be put in to have
the bail reduced, on the ground Of its being ex-
cessive, the state Of the prisoners health being
such that he must die in jail if the amount fixed
be insisted upon. 1t was stated, we know not
with how much truth, that in order to enable
him to appear in court, Hoffman had swallowed
in the morning as much laudanum as would have
killed any three men unaccustomed to the dose.
This is clearly not one Of those cases in which
indulgence Of any Bind should be shown. The
prisoners i'll health is Of his own creation, and
it is probable that If he could be broken Of the
destructive habit that he has acquired he would
be in good condition enough. As well might
reduction of bail be asked for drunkard who
brings himself within the grasp of the law by
his infatuated propensities. As the courts
now justly hold that drunkenness, in
stead of being al extenuation. is rather
an aggravation of crime, we see no reason why
the principle does not apply equally to the
opium eater In both all sense Of moral ac-
countability is drowned By vicious indulgence.
Certainly, in no case ought the enervation pro-
duced by pernicious habits to be allowed to be
urged as an excuse for misconduct. or as q
claim of exemption from the penalties Of the
law.
Putting the case on other and higher grounds,
we maintain that the interests Of the communi.
ty demand that nc indulgence shall be shown
towards offenders who, like the prisoner. gifted
with education, Intelligence and sU6iciency OF
means. violate the trust and confidence rcposod
| in them 1t would be impossible to carry On
mercantile operations if crimes Of this charac
ter were regarded with lenient eye and al,
| lowed to pass unpublished. In England it has
been found necessary to meet the alarming
growth Of such offences By putting in force
against them the utmost rigors Of the law. II
is not long since the near relative Of duke
was sentenced to penal servitude for similar
breach Of trust to that Of Hoffman, whilst the
records Of the English criminal court;
afford daily proofs Of the memorable
severity with which English Judges are
disposed to visit all such delinquencies. This
is no more than just, for there are no crimes
more fatal to the interests Of society than VIC
lations Of mercantile confidence. Justice Con
molly has acted very properly in fixing Hoa:
man 8 BAH at such an amount as will insure his
trial We trust that no efforts that may he
made by the prisoners counsel will induce the
courts to agree to its reduction. 1t is better
that he should die in prison than that an exam
pie Of immunity should be held out to other:
who may be disposed to follow in the same evil
i track.

The REVOLUTIONARY AsrI-SIAvERY FAcrIoS
or THE NoRrH.-The anti-slavery forces Of the
North are not unit. The main body Of them
run upon the Chicago platform with "0ld Abe
Lincoln and are hot upon the trail Of the
spoils. But there IL considerable faction
which sticks to the letter and spirit Of the SIRE
pressible conflict" and which will not submit
to the halfway dodge Of the republicans of
fighting slavery only in the Territories. This
faction have put up Gerrit Smith as their can
didate, and the believers in his doctrine Of mo
quarter to slavery" lumber not less. perhaps,
than half million in the Northern States We
should not be surprised If the numbers Of these
revolutionary anti-slavcry men voting for Ger
rit Smith were to spoil the calculations Of the
republicans in one, two, three or four very i'm
portant Northern States.
AS between the halfway ani-slayery candi-
date, Lincoln, and the regular abolition candi-
date, Smith, the former, in point Of educa-
ton, literary accomplishments. and as a
deep thinking political student, falls i'm
menscly behind the princely sage of Peter
boro. And it must be remembered, too,
that since the John Brown raid the mind OF
Gerrit Smith has undergone a great change
touching the mod,s operandi for the abolition
of slavery. Naturally man Of large benevo-
lence, having spent thousands upon thousands
Of dollars In acts OF individual charity, Mr..
Smith, naturally recoiling from the terrible
consequences Of the John Brown invasion, has
rcpudiated that horrible programme of extcr-
mins,ing slavery by fire and sword His policy
is that Of Mr.. Seward-a political fight against
slavery within the limits Of the constitution.
This is not up 10 the extreme revolutionary
ideas of the Garrisonian abolitionists but even
they have been compelled to fall back to save
their footing as a political balance Of power.
Hence their nomination, in Boston Of Gerrit
Smith; and he Is now an item which, in the
Presidential estimates of the republicans. they
cannot overlook
