The Post Office

The cali for some kind of reform in the Post Office department, is universal with the newspaper fraternity. But they do not make their influee feit as they might do, because they are not agreed on any uniform system. Some wish the duties reduced only a Iittle, some are for low rates, and a few papers are advocating the British plan of 2 Cents a letter for any distance. We are not yet fully convinced of th feasibilty ofthis plan, - When we can find time and space, we intend to consider this project more at length. The following extract from Professor W right's letters from England will give an idea of the plan: "You may send a letter of no matter how many piëces of paper, or containing no matter what dry substance, if it does not weigh over halfan ounce, lo any part of the kingdom for a penny or two cents; if it weighs less than an ounce, four cents, and so on. This has wonder ful consequences. It sets all the people to corresponding, resuscitates old friendships. creates new ones, facilitates all manner of traffic and pays the government a clear profit ofabout .$3,000,000 per annum- It may be called the grand civilizer and universal educator of the people. The poorest girl that can express her ideas by pothooks, now corresponds with her poor parents while out at service; and if she wishes ío remit them a few shillings of her earnings, she has only to pay three pencc or six cents at the post office for a money order and inclose it in her letter, and the government then becomes not only the bearer, but the insurer of the money. It cannot be lost, and the party to whom it is sent is as sure to get it as i f it were handed over in silver. The convenience ofthis arrangement for making Iittle purchases, collecting Iittle debts, &c. must be feit to be understood.In conneetion with the great carriers whose arrangements for the delivery of pareéis, after the manner of Harndenand Co., ramify all over the kingdom, the cheap postnge and money order system give the country almost all the advantage of the city. They give a life blood circulation, which makes a people slrong, wise and happy. I wish 1 could blow a trumpet on this subject thal"vould reach very log-house beyond the mouniains." Feilow countrymen, we have the power in the United Stales to have a system as good and as cheap. For Heaven's sake, do nót let uspick our own pockets any longer for the benefit of people who will not even thank us. If our federal government cannot do this for us, it is not wortii having. This posloge system is the best thing Í have seen in England. For the sake of it, J could almost put up with the monkey tricks and the mean tricksof the aristocracy."(C? Th erO is no more propriety in saying that Liberty votes ore "thrown away," than there is in saying that the farmer throws away the seed Wheat which he scatters upon his fields. Inone sense, it is lost. lt is destroyed for every purpose of immediate use or benefit. - But in one year it returns to him in a erop of ten, twenty, or thirty fold. To sow seed this year is an indispensable prerequisite to a large erop next year. So in reference to the Liberty votes. They are the seed which must be sown, or no erop can be had. And i f, by sowing them year after year, we ultimately attain all we wish for, may it not be true that ever}r vote has been available towards the great result? and not one has been thrown away. Besides, they are not thrown away so far even as present influence is concerned.. VVhere can you find another hundred thousand voters who are exerting a greater or more salutary influence .on all the interests of their country than the Liberty voters? Do the Whigs or Democrats ever throw away their votes? How many will the former throw away in New fïampshire, and the latter in Massachusetts, during the present compaign? - ;'Why not vote for somébody who can be elected?"It is an insult to an elightened Abolitionist, or an intelligent lliberty mau, to hint that he can be induced' to vote for Mr. Cíáy. He might, indeëd,'have done so once, befbre the connection between duty and voting'was properly understood; the sins ofthís ignorance were winked at - but note he cannot, withoul iñcurring deep guilt; and you may depend u pon it, he will nol. - E man c i pato r. Some weeks since, we staled that the LegisTáture of Rhocie Island Rád pnssed an act of aiñnesly to all persons under indictraerit for ornees against the State Government, provided they would take the oath of alleglance to th'e Constitution of the State,'" and that Gov. Borr had it in his power to reléase hWs'élf from imprisonment whenever hé pleased. Subsequent accounts affiim that Mr. Dorr was then under sentcnce, ari'd'nbf under indietment, and that the act of the Legislature did not reach his case.' He isnow in the Penitentiary, and is said to be erap loyed in painting lans. O There is noihmg ncw from Philadelphia. Erary thing appars to be perfect ly quiet.
