TAB POST 'OEPRIE LAWS.
The Post Master - General hrebeen driven by
the 'newspapers to make tno corrections •in this'
law; first, he has corrected the punctuation,
which makes it consistent with itself, Mid then.he
has corrected 'the absurd interpretation of he law
which, required oh papers to be pre raid thrit \ were*
/sent . from a publishing office not regular:lMb
scribers. He now permits newspapers to he EMvt
from a publication olficeowhether to pernianen6
subscribers or not—so that our friends may'iend
'their papers by mail by leaving. theth at our office
without being at the trouble and expense of pre
payment...* The editor of the Union, wife) 'looks
upon the President as a kind •of autocrat, and the
people`as his subjects, has had the impudence to
make the following remarks:
"Though it was evidently the Intent of Congress to
continue the policy of favoring publishers as well as
subscribers. yet, as it would be impossible for the post
masters to decide who were or Were nut subset fibers,
the Post Xaster General has felt it kis duty to instruct
postmasters toforitard in the mails. without pre-payment
nil newspapers coming from the ewe of publication —
If publishers shall aboss the liberality- extended to them
-- by sending their papers through the mails to persons
not ordering them, thus continuing the evhs which Con
gress intended to remedy. It may furnish an additional
ressmfor the pre-payment of all printed matter, as re
commended by the Post Master General is his latean
. nual report." -
We hope that publishers of newspapers' will
not be backward in - rebuking this craven old po
litical hack for daring to - talk to them about abus
ing the liberality extended to them by the Post
Master General. Have, we come this, that when
.an officer of the gocernmenCacts in obedience to a,
law of congress, it must be called an act of hber
.ality on his part, and the people cautioned - by the
organ of the President not to abuse it lest it be
t denied them. It is time that old Rough•and-Rea
dy 'made his appearance among these impudent
- .office-holders to teach them that they are the ser
vants of the people and trot their masters. We
look upon it as one of the greatest blessings
which will follow' the inauguration of-General
Taylor, that Cave Johnson and Father Ritchie
will get their walking tickets without any delay.—
1 -4 Y. Y. Mirror.
The above extract from a prominent and influ
ential paper meets with our most hearty approba
tion, and we at least do not feel at all dilrosed to
be backward in expressing our views upon the
way in which the Poit Master General lins
- managed the affairs of the Department• We ore
glad that the one reform spoken of has been se
cured, and if _weare nyt, much mistaken, popt.lar
opinion will soon force the Department to concede
others equally desirable, 'and as much if not more
required
'We bare always regarded the Post Office law
which passed, or rather was smuggled through
' Corigresi,-just at the close oethe last session, as
being odious in the extreme. It could never have,
• !mired the •sanction of both- houses if proper
thitehed been allowed for it:s consideration and
examination. Had the people known that such a
law . ' ryas "likely. to be enacted, remonstrances
would Shave poured in from all sections of the
country against its passage, and popular indigna
tion would have forced the representatives of the
:people to respect the wishes of their constituent,i,
and leaVe the Post Office law of 1845 unmodified.
or
.pt least not changed (or the worse.
The provision respecting transient newSpapers,
requiring three cents pottage prepaid on 'each
paper, or letter postage according to weight, if paid
by the Verson who received ii, and the repeal of
that section permiligig 'newspapers to circulate
free J;kf postage within thirty miles of the plac'e . o f
publication, were two -Of the most unpopular
regulations That could have been devised, and
- as uncalled for as they were unpopular. The
reason urged for the adoption of such provi
' skins waa that by this m-ans the revenue accru
ing froin the conveyance of newspapers would he
largely, increased, and that more care and atten
tion wciuld . be paid' to having ibem ,:f.;rivarded.
pioraptly. If this had been the resuh the edit.
• 'dead tax- Vim)ld not havo been quite so ituttleri
_- ble, but it was pressing rather too much- ou the
people to increase the, rates of postage, and de
crease the facilities' for conveying intelligence.—
Yet such has been the case. • .The affsirs of the
Post Olike Departrrient have never been managed
so miserably as they are at the present time.-
Complaints are heard in every quarters)! irregu
larity irtthe mails, the mis-carriage of letters, and
the total neglect in many, instances of the Depart
pent in regard to furnishing conveniences for the
transmission of papers: In New York). for in
stance, not long ego the entire country edition of
liscveral of the papers was suffered to remain in the
Poist'Office' for two or three" da'ys hecauso there
were no :lictitbdga in which to send them away !
Such a atafe oi, affairs calls loudly , for. reforni,
end - the peOple 'will not be'satisfied until the evils
so justly complained of are corrected. The law
of 1845 was warmly welcomed by the people as a
great step gained ] in the march•toward the cstahs
lishment of the uniform rites of postage through.
out the Union, and no law has been enacted for
many years which gave such general sans.
faction. We have no doubt that if Congress had
suffered it to .remain in force a short time there
.sult would have been a:largely increased revenue,
and cheap postage wouldhave provid profitable
to the Treasury of the Unite' titates...• During
the brief period in which it . was in exiiterice the
-receipts in the. principal Commercial cities of the
Eastern State's bad increased seventeen per cent.
over those of the old rates, and the business of the
Poit !Mrs wasgrowing with unprecedented. ra.
pidity.. But before the law of 18:15lied a fair
trial, Congreia, in its wisdom (7) modified It in
such a Way as almost to deshoy some of its good
features f •end injure its solefulnese. We have
iftrong hopo, however, that . the next. Congress

states that the army of Chihuahua, under cum
'Mind of Col. Doniphan, consisting of the three
baltalioni of the Missouri cavalry, and thriChihua
hut rangers, under Capt.. .Hudson, reahed the
Brazos Santiago, and embarked for New Orleans
on.the 18th ult. This column finding the time of
its enlistment expired, Sent an express to General
Wool for orders, arid reached Gan. Wad's camp
from Chihuahua about the 16th of MaY, where
it was revi e wed and ordered to New Orleans to
be mustered-out.: This column has conquered the
Slates of New Mexico and Chihuahua, 1 and tra.
versed Durango. and New Leon, travelling six
thousand miles, consuming a Whole fear; in which •
time not one word was received from the Gov.
ee . nnsent, nor any. oupfilies of any kind.• or or.
der's o- pay. The army lived on the country ex
clusively. and supplied itself with ammunition tak
en from the enemy. Eleven pieces of braes cannon,
trophies of Sacramento, are now at tlio Brazos
Santiago, on their way to Missouri. •
The army at Chihuhun has, within the year:
fought three consecutive , battles, viz: Biazito, Sa
cramento, and El Pasa. That 41 Bjazi l te was on
Christmas day, and opened art.-entrantle into El
Paso'del Norte. The "Mexicans had twelve hun
dred 11.0 fifty men and one piece of artillery ; the
AmeriCans, fintr_hafidred and twenty.fiv i e infantry
—the piece—of cannon was captured , 1 and the
Mexican army entirely destroyed. Scramentiv,
Was fought on the 28th of February., This battle
—one of.the mast remarkable in the War—is fa.
miliar through the reports of Col. Doniphan and
other field officers. The battle of El Faso was
(aught about the 13th of Slay, by the j advanced
guard under Capt. Reid—the Americans had
twenty.five men, and the Camanehes laixty.five.
The Indians were routed. and left seventeen bodies
on the field—took three hundred and fifty head of
.cattle, twenty-five Mexican prisoners, and a great
:deal of Mexican plunder. •
The column made forced marches from Chi
huhu& to Alatarnorps,'and performed the distance
of nine hundred miles in forty.five days, bringing
with it seventeen pieces of heavy artillery. A
day wes spent at General Wool's camp, at Buena
Vista, and soother et Gen. Taylor's carnp at San
Domingo grove. Both Generals reviewed the
column and passed the highest ericoniunts upon
its discipline and deeds of valor. •

lowing remarks:
Let 'no ambitious President calc late upon the
American volunteer to fight' for hini wars of con:
quest. Twenty regiments have rough:6lnd beat
en the Mexican among his"own Chapar'eals and
mountain ridges;. and having done so they \ riquse

ments that have fought under' Taylor end undh s,
Scott,—in': the midst of victory,—liivonacking on 1
the fields of Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo, the
enemy dispersed, the toads open, the 'Mexican
capital and the whole land within, their power,
suddenly refuse the conquest offered them in vain.
Glory beckons them; ° they love their, Generals;
but their time is up; and with •extraordinary
unanimity they reject the temptation, and return
home to their f.,inilies and firesides, to lay aside
the arms'and trappings tif the soldier, and become
private citizens. The ciet seems astonishing; but
it is in iairr.to impeach their courage, or patriot
ism, their hardihood or the constancy -of their
minds. It proves, perhaps contempt of the Mexi:
cans; but it proves also that they have no desire
to conquer Mexico. Eden the Southern
teens return home; free state or slave statittolun
leers, it is all the same: they lare notfoiMexico;
they went thither to fight the battlerfa their coml.'
try, and avenge the death of their brethern,—not
to annex Mexican territory, to gratity the aspire

whole whole aim in the war is annex
ation and-the extension of slavery.
The - return of the volunteers proves another
of happy' augury to the Republic. The
American people have come to bikregarded by
foreigners,-nay they have been taught almost to,
regard themselves -as a warlike' race; wildly 'am
bitious, full of military appetite's ,ancf the lust of
territorial acquisition. Our own sobei icitizens
have watched with uneasiness the development
of the supposed dangerous spirit of aggression and
rapine; and .the "copra., rapaz, pugnaz," aP•
plied by , the Roman historian to the warrior bar.
barians of Germany, was thought to be too char
acteriette of the American temperament. But the'
volunteers who` have returned from Mexico, re
turn to throw aside the harness and the passions
of war. With all their singular aptitude for the
military life, they prefer the lifii of the eitizen,.to.
which they return from amidst all the allureinents
of victory. Before the attractions of their own
peaceful fields anikvvork-shopi, and the quiet and
happiness of their own family hearths, glory is
nothing ; it is rejected as a bauble.' The Ameri.
can volunteer will not: be a soldier; he resolves.
to continue a citizen, and only itedtizen. He has
in this instance shown • a wise end' firm cholera
lion •of character, worthy of JIM Republic, and
worthy of the patriot sires wbw.framed for it in.

a republic of reason, not blood. It is a modera
tion that disproves the fears of friends and the prog-

(erred corigring upon his partizan friend, " Free

But Mr. Polk did not stop here in regard to the

has been too much devoted and too useful to Gen..
