Approved, May 31, 1812. CONVENTION The Regulation of the Postal Intercourse between the United States of America and the King dom of Denmark. The Post Department of the United States of America and the Danish Post Department have agreed upon employing the steamers in regular service between their territories, as well as the steamers engaged between Ham burg and Bremen on the one side, and Ameri can ports on the other, in order to establish an immediate exchange of mails, and have, for that purpose, consented to the following articles : ARTICLE 1 There shall be an immediate exchange of cerrespondence between the United States or America and Denmark by means of the said steamers, and this correspondence shall em brace letters, newspapers, book packets, prints of all kinds, (comprising maps, plans engrav ings, drawings, photographs, lithographs, and All other like productions of mechanical processes, sheets of music, &c.,) and patterns or samples of merchandise; and such corres pondence may be exchanged, whether originat iug in hither of the said co _ntries, or originating in countries to which these may respectively serve as intermediaries- . ARTICLE 2. The exchange of correspondence shall take place between the post offices to be hereafter designated by the two post departments ;may either of the two offices so designated but at any time be discontinued, and others establish ed by mutual consent. ARTICLE 3. The United States office shall make its own arrangements for the dispatch of its mails to Denmark, and in like manner the office of Denmark shall make its own arrangements for the dispatch of its mails to the United States. The mails shall be reciprocally for warded by the regular routes of communica tion hereinbefore mentioned, and each office shall, at its own cost, pay the expense of the intermediate transportation (sea and territori al) of the mails which it dispatches to the other. It is also agreed that the cost, either in whole or in part, of the international ocean and territorial transit of the closed mails ex- changed in both directions between the re rpective frontiers shall, upon application of either office, be first defrayed by that one of the two offices which shall have obtained from the intermediaries the most favorable pecuniary terms for such conveyance, and any amount so advanced by one for and on account of the other shall be promptly re-imbursed. ARTICLE 4. The postage on ordinary letters sent from the United States to Denmark, or from Den mark to the United States, shall be respective ly twelve (12) skilling rigsmont, or seven (I) cents for a single letter. The weight of a single letter shall not ex ceed fifteen grammes. for every letter exceeding grammes there shall be paid a single rate of postage for every aiditional fifteen grammes or fraction of fit. ties grammes. The weight stated by the dikiatching office shall always be, accepted, except in cases of manifest error. The maximum weight of loiters shall be two hundred and fifty (250) grammes. ARTICLE 5. The prepayment of postage on ordinary let ters shall be optional. If they shall be for warded unpaid, or insufficiently paid, they shall, in the first case, be charged, besides the usual postage with an additional postape of respectively four l cents, or six cents shilling rigsmont, and in the last case, be:idea the deficiept postage, with a similar additional postage. AnT. 6. On all other correspondence in the first article mentioned, the rates shall be, for the mails dispatched, that which the dispatch ing office shall adopt, adapted to the conven ience and habits of its interior administration. But each office shall give notice to the other of the rate it adopts and of any subsequent change thereof. These articles shall be for warded under regulations of the dispatching post office, but always including the following: 1. The postage shall be prepaid. If, however, the postage on the correspondence mentioned in tLis article should not be' wholly prepaid, the said correspondence shall still be forward ed to the placd of destination ; but it shall, in that case, beside the deficient postage, be Awe. 7. Any correspondence mentioned in Article 1 may be registered, and the postage chargeable. ou such correspondence shall always be prepaid. Registered correspondence shall, in addition to the postage, be subject to an international registration fee not ex ceeding ten (10) cents in the United States, end eight (8) sailling rigsmont in Denmark, and this fee shah always be prepaid. Each office is at liberty to reduce this fee for the mails it dispatches. Each department shall use its best exertions for the safe delivery of registered correspondents, but in not respon sible pecuniarily for the loss of any such correspondence. ART. 8. It is further agreed that no charge of any kind, or on any account, otherwise than is herein expressly provided, shall be levied or collected in the country of destination on the letters or other correspondence exchanged. Anr. 9. As to the correspondence origina ting in one country and destined for the other, no account shall take place, and thus the post office of the United States shall retain the whole amount of postage collected in the Uni ted States upon international paid correspon dence forwarded to Denmark, and upon inter national unpaid or insufficiently paid corres pondence received from Denmark; and in like manner the Danish post office shall retain the whole amount of postage collected in Den mark upon international paid correspondence forwarded to the United States, and upon in ternational unpaid or insufficiently paid cor respondence received from the United States. However, each of the two departments shall be at liberty to claim accounts to be settled when it appears that iu one country for one year there is levied 20 per cent. more than in the other. If an account is claimed, it shall be regulated on the following basis : From the total amount of pos.ages and reg ister fees collected by each office on letters, added to the total amount of prepaid postages and register fees on other correspondence which it dispatches, the dispatclhingoffice shall deduct the amount required for - the convey ance of the mails betweer the two countries, and the amount of the two net sums shall be equally divided between the two offices. The deficient and additional postages men tioned in Article 6 shall not be included in the account between the two offices, but, un shared, shall belong to the office by which they arc collected. ART. 10. The two post departments shall es tablish, by agreement, and in conformity with the arrangements in force at the time, the con ditions upon which the two offices- may res pectively- exchange in open mails the eorres pondence originating in or destined to other foreign countries to which they may recipro cally serve as intermediaries. It is always understood, however, that such correspondence shall only be charged with the American Dan ish rate, augmented by the postage due to for eign countries, or for other exterior service. It is agreed that the account of this corres pondence shall, as to the international posta ges chargeable on the same, be regulated on the basis mentioned in the preceding article; but that the amount of the extra-national post age, or other tax for exterior service, shall be reciprocally accounted for at full rates. Such charges for paid correspondence to, and for uupead-correspondenae Shall therefore be summarily entered on the respective letter bills to the credit of the coun try through which the same is forwarded. ART. 11. The Post Office of the United States shall be granted the privilege of transit of do. std mails through the Danish territory, ex changed in either direction, to and from Swe den and Norway, for a payment of four skill ing rigsmont per thirty (30) grammes net weightof letters, and two-thirds skilling rigs mont per forty (40) grammes net weight of jirints, patterns, and samples of merchandise. Correspondenca exempt from postage, letters which cannot be delivered, as well as money orders, shall not be charged with any transit rate. Reciprocally, the United States office grants to the office of Denmark the privilege of tran sit of the closed mails exchanged in either di rection between the latter and any country to which the former may serve as intermediary, by its usual means of mail transportation, whether on sea or land, and the terms of tran sit shall be agreed upon when the exercise of the privilege is required. Arr. 12. The postal accounts between the two offices shall be stated and transmitted quarterly, and verified as speedily as possible, and the balance found due shall he paid in the coin of the creditor country. The rate for the conversion of the money of the two countries shall be one dollar for one rigsdaler, eighty five skilling rigemont. The two offices shall, however, always be at liberty, to agree upon another rate for the conversion. ART. 13. Any ordinary correspondence wrongly addressed, or wrongly sent, shall, without delay, and registered correspondence of all kinds, as well as ordinary letters not deliverable for any other cause than the afore said, within the issue of every month, be mu tually returned at the expense of tbo origina ting office. AU 'other correspondence which cannot be delivered shall remain at the dispo sition of the receiving office. If any returned correspondence shall be charged with postage debited the office of des tination, the said correspondence shall be re turned for the amount of postags which was originally charged by the dispatching office. Any. 14. When, in any port of either coun try, a closed mail is transferred from one ves sel to another. without any expense to the office of the country where the transfer is made, such transfer shall not be subject to any postal charge by one office against the other. Aar. 15. Official communications between the two offices shall not be the occasion of any accounts on either side. _ _ ART. 16. The two offices shall, by mutual consent, establish the detailed regulations which the carrying into execution of the arti cies included in this convention may require. ART. 17. The present convention shall be carried into effect on the day on which the two officers shall agree, and shall continue in force until one of the two contracting parties shall bare announced to the other, within the Mine of a calendar year, its intention to ter minate it. . . An;. 18. The present convention is to be ratified, and the ratifications are to be exchang ed as soon as possible.

KEEPING THER COURAGE UP, The Aarth American says: Mark Tap ley won abiding honor for being jolly under circumstances that wonld have tried equanimity of Mom'us. But Tapley was no comparison for the unterrified. Beaten in Ohio, beaten in Maine, in Oregon, In diana,Vermont, Connecticut, West Virgin ia, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and suecuesful only in Georgia; beaten where they pre dicted success, and where they didn't; where they said that victory must be won, 48 well as where they only clamored for it; with their Liberal leader absent and his subordinates quarreling; with erg-mi -1 zed opposition from their own ranks in Kentucky, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other States; under all of these circum stances they address the people, to show that the Republican majority is teat •o great as it was at the last Presidential election, and that if other States will vote as Georgia did, there'll be life in the old horse yet! It is the most amusing whistling ever known. Pennsylvania settled the line of political prophets and the use of political seers for the whole campaign. The elec tion in Georgia is the sole example in which the conglomerate have not been slapped in the face, and demonstrated their weakness by striving to show vigor. It is competent for them to make the best of the bad; to show how much better off the country would have been had Breckin ridge been President, Buckalew Governor, the Secession consented to and 'the future given over to an assured political uncer tainty. But to argue, the possibility of victory in November and substitute anoth er for Grant—this is not competent for the worst cases of Bloomingdale or Kirk bride's. A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT. A correspondent of the Chicago Times lepicts the peril of making Horace Greeley President : "brace believes in the right and pro priety of sece: sion, and if he were master of the situation he would, if desired, give effective aid to divorce the South from the North. The President is commander-in thief of the army and navy. Less than r':,ur years would suffice to put the South in fighting order again, if you have a Pres ident during the time that will wink at their preparations. * * Now, suppposing a President, holding the political doctrine that the several States have the right to secede, should be inaugurated next March, what might he not permit in that direction ? Some one will say : 'Nonsense to talk such • stuff!' In reply I would say, it is not non tense, but is in the highest degree sense, to talk of these things, eripecially when it is claimed that Greeley will carry all of the Southern States, or that portion of them which has the elements of rebellion. * * If there were no other objection to Mr. Greeley, his avowed political principles on the question of the right of secession are 3nough to render him unfit for President. The risk is tuo great. It would be more than madness under the circumstances to. take the hazard." Another correspondent, taking this as a text, goes on to show what Mr. Greeley said at Pittsburg, indicating that his mind had undergone no change. What he said it Cincinnati was the result of a scare. He was alarmed at the response he had awakened, and only showed how unstable And vacillating he is by taking back the declarations made at Pittsburg. The coun try cannot bear the hazard of making such a man President. The Mission of the Republicari Party. In reply to the assertion that the mis sion of the Republican party has been Accomplished, and that there is nothing more for it to do, the Kora American sums up its future purpose, thus : "First, there is our colossal war debt to extinguish, and every dollar of it roust be honestly paid off before the Republican party surrenders power. Second, there are our domestic manufactures to be so extended and strengthened and built up as to make the nation self-supplying, and be yond the reach of the ruinous foreign competition that Democratic free-traders tlways make haste to invite whoa in power. Third, we have to rid the country finally of that prolifie source of trouble and ex pense, Indian ware, that spread havoc and panic along our borders and retard the progress of civilization in the remote in terior. Fourth, we have to bald at least three more lines of railroad to the Pacific coast, so as to make sure of the inter-com munication of the Atlantic and Pacific divisions of the Union under all circum ,tances. Fifth, we must regain our lost control of the ocean carrying trade, not by buying foreign vessels, net by giving up the contest and naturalizing foreign con trol on our own shores, but by f..ftering American shipbuilding, and American shipping merchants an Anierkan trade. Sixth, we have to rebuild the ruined ex port trade in domestic manufactured goods, so terribly injured by the war and the ravages of the British pirates. Seventh, we have to establish the power of American capitol in such a way as to relcve ourselves of the ever increasing drain produced by our foreign debt, and to relieve our money markets of the control exercised over them by foreign money kings. Eight. we have to make the legal rights and privileges of the woman as broad, comprehensive and general as those of the min. And last, out not least, we h Lye to harmonize the relations of labor and capital." The Straight-out Democrats HARRISBUG, Pen n., Oct. 16.—The State Convention of the Straight-out Dem ocracy met here to-day. Delegates from the different counties were present. The ob ject was to nominate a Straight-out Elec toral ticket, Congressman at large, and other officers. After organizing, a letter was read from the State Executive Com mittee recommending that as the result of the October elections rendered the election of Greeley out of the question, there ex isted no necessity for the nomination .ot an electoral ticket in support of the Louis ville nominee, recommending the honest Democracy of the State to refrain from taking any part in the contest of the two Republican candidates, Grant, the regular, and Greeley, the so.ehead. Numerous letters from prominent Lemocrats through out the State were read, favoring the recommendations of the State executive Committee. After a thorough discussion in secret session, the recommendation of the Committee was unanimously agreed to,, and the Convention adjourned.
