In this particular, there is a:iipl? room for reform.—Until some national Tyftetn is ap plied to the repair and prefervatiun of high ways,, the. arrival of mails will contihue-to be attended with that vexatious irregularity, which at present destroys more than half the utility of the Post Office Eftablilbment.
