A Most AbOminable Outrage on the
Part Of Post ONCE.

From the Anti-Monopolist.
Soon after we started our paper, Hon.
J. A. McClusky, merchant Of Cottage
Grove, sent us list Of names of sub.
scribers from that village, and among
others the name of j.. H. Swaziland,
Esq. We accordingly sent our paper
to Mr.. Sweatland and the rest Of the
list.
Last week we received a copy of our
paper, enclosed in wrapper postmarked
Cottage Grove, returned to US with this
memorandum On the margin of it,:
" Don't send me this thing again. j.
H. Swaziland"
Regarding it as a suspicious circum-
stance that the paper was not returned
through the postmaster with an official
notice that it was refused, we cut the
memorandum off the paper and sent it
to Hon. J. A. McClusky, with request
that he would see Mr. Swaziland and
ascertain whether he had refused the
paper and sent US the impudent message
referred to.
Mr.. McClusky now informs us that he
has seen Mr.. Sweatland, and that he
informed him that he has not received
his paper; that he never saw the num-
ber returned to us that he never wrote
that memorandum and never refused
the paper and that it was returned to
us by some one without his knowledge,
consent Or authority and that he want
ed the paper sent to him regularly.
And Mr.. McClusky further informs
us that Mr.. Swaziland, on the 22d of
July, paid him 81, as our agent, for one
years subscription to the paper.
Now it is very clear from the Cottage
Grove postmark upon the wrapper, that
the paper went to that Office and Was
returned to US for it: without having
been, delivered or even shown to Mr.
Sweatland; and therefore that writ
ing must have been made by the post.
master or his clerk Mr.. flaming, who
is, We learn, also under indictment in
the United States Court for selling
liquor without license. To vent their
partisan spite upon US, one Of these men
has, therefore, not only violated the pos
tai laws, but the laws of the State, and
made himself liable to prosecution and
imprisonment; and if we can identify
the hand writing on the margin Of the
paper we will commence proceedings to
determine whether the free citizens of
this State have any rights left that
postmasters are bound to respect.

such, and endorses the principles laid down
in the platform Of the national society.
These principles are embraced in three re
solutions, in substance, /. That rs neither Of

both arc unworthy Of public confidence, the

STEAM On CASALS.-Thc prob nm Of steam
power for canal navigation may be regarded
as solved. For several years pas, The New
York canal board had offered q large reward
for the invention Of n steam propulsion for
canal boats that should exceed morse power
in speed and cheapncss, with no greater wear
aud tare on the banks. The reward has been
won by tho Baxter Steam Canal Navigation
Company" This company ha, already half a
dozen of It's steamers on the Erie Canal, that
make trips from New Iorl. IN six and seven
days, OF The round trip in - and IA days,
whereas canal boats drawn by horses or mules
occupy from ~ 10 20 days in accomplishing
the same distance. Steam power, with boats
80 constructed as 10 be adapted to it, is not
only a saving in time, but in running cNpcn.
ses. 81 present the railroads are carving
grain from Buffalo 10 New York At < cts 4
bushel, while hitherto the lowest price ny
horse or mule power has been 10 cts. z bushcl,
and now,huudreds OF canal boat, all along
the Erie Canal are lying idle gather than car.
~ grain below railroad rates, yet the BaX-
Ter Line of steamers underbid those rates and
are making money. They not only compete
successfully with the railroads in carrying
grain but are taking from Tim large amount
freight in the way Of merchandise, crock
cry. glass, patent medicines, and similar ar-
,icias that require more careful than ordinary
gahoad handling
ltis believed by The syracuse paper from
which we gather the above facts, that new
era has arrived in the business Of canal navi
gator and that not only will the bulk of
freight between New York and Buffalo soon
be carried by these steamers, but tia. We
shall soon have them monopolIzing the bust
