Octoher 23; 1649.
MY DRAR MR. RICIIIE
Uncle Joshua, our delegate to Congress
froni this Territory, stints for Washing
ton and, es I haint writ to you for some
tints, I thought I would send a few lines
to you to let you know how matters are
getting along up here. We arc talking
pretty sharp about forming a State Got•-
rernment, and some are for doing it right
off, and sending Senators and Represen
t Hives to this Congress. Itut the major
ity was in favor of only sending a Dele
gate now, and waiting to see what Con
gress will do with the other territories
that are sprouting up around ; for, as
things now look, we couldn't seem to tell
whether a State on Mason and Dixon's
tide of the River, would be allowed to
come in. So we called a meeting to
choose a delegate, and to fix tip the in-
tiructions for him to follow when he gets
t:u•re.
After the meeting was come to order,
end Col. lanes was appointed choerman,
Uncle Joshua got up and said the common
practice of choosing a Representative or
Delegate •first. and then tying his hands
afterwards with instructions, he didn't
think was hardly a fairehake. He thought
the instructions ought to be agreed upon
first : then if the Representatives had a
mind to tie 163 own hands he couldn't
blame 'ncilmtly else for it. The meeting .
Teemed to take the idea at once, and agreed
to go right to work upon the instructions I
first.
The cheerman said, eft was evident
from the newspapers, and • the way things
looked at Washington. and all over the
country, that this was agoing to be a hot
Congress. There was trouble a brewin
about the Wilmot' Proviso, and about ad
mitting California as a State ; and then
that monster, Nullification. that every
body thought Gineral Jackson had killed,
years ago, wasn't by no means Old yet.
Ile seems to be more alive now thin ever,
and showed ten times as many head+ now
as he did in Old Hickory's time. He was
was hard animal to handle then, as my
worthy friend thereon toy right can testify,
fur he had a hand in it. (Here the cheer
anon pointed to me, and made every body
look at me.) I say, says he, if Old Hick
ory and Major Downing had their hands
foil to master nullification, when he was
only a young critter and hadn't but one
head, the country may well tremble and
• ask what is to be done with him now that
he has growd up no large and tuff, and
shows so mauy heads."
At that Bill Jolt:lion jumped up, quick
as flash, and says ho. "I'll tell you what,
Mr. Oheerman, jest send old Rough and
Ready arter him, and I'll resk him if he
had twenty heads. If he would'utscatter
and run as fast as Santa Anna at Bony
Vista. I'll pay'the toddy."
"Well, said the eheerman, "that ain't
the question before the meeting. The
question is, What instructions shall we
give our delegates about the Wilmot Pro;
vise, and the State of California. and Nul
lification, and such like troubleseme - eon;
Fares. Gentlemen will.. please to speak
their minds on the subject." ' • :
When Cot. Jones sot down the whole
meeting turned and looked towards Uncle
Joshua ; fur they think he knows more
about these matters than any body else in
the territory ; avid, besides. he'i a consid
erable speaker when you once get him
started. They kept looking and nodding '
to him, and at last uncle Joshua gutty.
"Mr. Cheerman," says uncle .iiiehue,
says he, "if you know jest; . hew things
work in one case, youcanprenytotrimenly
tell pretty near how them same things
will work in another case ; for, I've al
ways observed in my life time, that when
things worked jest so in one case, them
same things will most always work jest
so in another caste. Now,, when I was a
boy I knew a case a good deal like this'ere
case you've been speak in about. And
,if
I should tell you and this meeting how
things worked out in that case, maybe you
could judge better how things will work
in this 'ere case, and then you can in
struct your Delegate accordingly. The
case, Mr. Cheerman, was this : Old Mr.
S.im West, a very clever, respectable old
gentleman—every body used to call him
Uncle Sam ; he was a very stirrin. thrivin
man, and a good farmer—he owned a very
large farm and picked up a good deal of
property. His oldest stneJonathan. lived
on the Northern half of the farm. and his
other son, John, lived on the southern half ;
and they both of 'em had very large fami
lies growing up around 'eat before the old
gentleman died. One day, sometime be
lire he did, he spoke to his two sons, and
said : "Boys. I can't be with you much
longer. I shall leave the farm and all the
property to you and your childeen.. The.
farm is under a good way now, and
there's a plenty of land for you and a , our
children. and your grand children,
and great grandchildren ; and I charge
ou always to keep the families to
gether on the farm, and live in peace, and
help each other along. There's no know
ing what sort of neighbors you may get
round you ; therefore cling together and
take care of each Other." The sons prom.
iced that they would mind him, and wrote
it down in a book, and showed it to the
old gentleman, who said he was satisfied
and could die in peace.
Well, after the old gentleman was dead
and gone, the sons continued to thrive and
prosper, and grow rich. Their largefani
flies had enough to eat. drink, and wear,
mid a plenty of fat turkeys for Thanks-
Elvin and Christmas dinners, and every
thing they wanted. The two brothers car
ried on the farm as brothers should do, in
peeve and harmony, and helped each oth
er along. What one didn't raise, %other
slid, and between 'em they always had
enough of every thing. There was only
one thing that they ever had any jarring
. about. and that was thistles. John's half
•of the farm was covered all over with
thistles. And from some cause or oth
er. John had a strange fancy for this.
ties, and would never allow 'em to be
dug .up or routed out of his half of the
farm, But Jonathan hated the very idea
of a thisthe ; he couldn't bear 'em no how.
'There used to be some on his part of the
tarns when at was sew, but be kept mew
ls of '114.1 down. and diggin of 'me up, and

Jonathan weed to talk to John and try to

ottstaking and hurting every lady that
moo met `elk they resold rue the land

l*. labitifilshe kept all them %Wee tin
hie hn lesighl tits It ISt calls at II"
OM la e wasn't a fraidof that : his
OM • r
land was rich enough to produce all he
wanted with the thistles on it; and he was
sure they gave a high character and dig
nity to los family, for they was a sign
to every body that passed along the road
that the family lit Niro' a good rich farm,
that supported 'em without their having
to work for it. Things went along in this
way for some tone. John's children
all grew up to be very fund of thistles,
and Jonathan's all hated thistles ; and
it the cousins ever had any sparring or
quarrelling it was most always about
thistles. At last a squabble broke out
between some of John's family and the
family of the Silverbuckles, The Sil
verbuckle family heed on a very lamp,
rich old farm, lying southwest of Jontes.
But as the land where they jined hadn't
been cleared up, and the line halo% been
fairly run ont. o and no marks set up; the
boys on each side got intO a dispute about
the line. The Silverbuckles said the Sams
were getting on to their land. [They call-,
ed 'em.all Sams because they were the de
scendants of old Uncle Sim.) . Boa whole
gang of the dilverbuckles went down and'
ordered the Sams .off, and told 'em to keeps
on their own land.. The Seine said they
was on their own land. and they wouldn't,
stir an inch back. The, quarrel grew so I
but that they soon come to blows. John
heard the rumpus, and seeing that his boys
were in great danger of getting an awful
lickin', he called to Jonathan to send over
his boys to help to lick the Silverbuckles.
..W ell now, brother," said Jonathan, ..1
think your boys have been very foolish to
get Into this scrape. and I guess they've
been more to blame than the Silverbuckles.
But still, as you're got into the difficulty,
'we'll take hold and help you out of it." So
Jonathan called his boys out, and they
went over to help John's : and all the Sams
went at the Silverbuckles and licked 'em
like a wk. They drove 'em back and
followed 'em Warily over the Silverbuskle
farm. thrashing 'cm from haus, to house,'
and . from field to field. wherever they met
them. At last the Silverbuckles give up.
and owned themselves licked. and begged
the Sams to quit and go home.
Well, the Sams said they was ready
enough to do that. but they warn' a
going to hays all this trouble fur nothin
and they should demand the gold-apple'
field to pay. 'em for their trouble. Th is
was a very valuable field on the northwest
end of the Silverbuokie farm, and wok its
name from an orchard cm it that bore very
rich gold-colored apples. Them Silver
buckles sot very high by this field, and
declared they couldn't part with it nohow.
But the Sams said they must have it. and
they wouldn't stir an inch home till they
had s deed of it. The Silverbuckles said
they wouldn't give a deed ; they acknow
ledged the Sams- was the strongest. and
could take it by force, if they'd a mind to;
but they declared it would be an °veriest-,
tin shame and disgrace for them to do it.
Oh, the Sams laid, we aim no robbers,
to take a thing by force. We have Jul
idea of taking your gold apple field without
your content. We, calculate to-meke a I
fair bargain for it : and we'll give you a
huodred and filly dollars for it. The Sil
verbuCkles said no, they wouldn't give a
deed. Well, then, said the Sams, you
may take your choice—givryhe deed or
take another lickin all round, for one or
'tether you must do. The Silverbuckles,
with bulled- eyes and bloody noses, felt
as if they were half dead already, and
I thought they couldn't stand another lickin
no how, so they give up and signed the
deed voluntarily.
The Sams went home in high glee about
their gold-apple field, and sot down and
Talked the matter over; what a fine
addi
tiun it was to the old farm, and what pleas
ant garden spots it would make for their
children and children's children to live on.
And some of Jonathan's boys, who were
always wide awake, started right off over
to the field, and went to diggtn on it. And
when they come home they brought bags
full of rich gold-colored apples. And when
some of John's boys began to stir round,
and talk about going over to dig and build
on the apple field, Jonathan spoke to John
and said, "Now, brother, I'm entirely wil
ling your boys should go over on to the ap
plefield and dig as much as they area mind
to, and build.and plant, and sow, and reap;
but before they go there 11 one thing that
we must have a fair understanding about,
and Ostia, the can't never have no this
tles there, for I have made up my mind
that there silent never be no thistles allow
ed to grow on gold-apple field."
At that, John flared right up, and said
he never would stand that, for gold-apple
field belonged to him as much as it did to
Jonathan ; and his boys had as good a
right to dig there and build there as John
otban's boys had; and if his boys ekose
to have thistles there. they had • right to
have thistles there, and they should have
thistles there. Jonathan declared again
that he had made op his mind .ohat there
shant never be no thistles allowed to grow
on gold-apple field."
Wbilo they was disputing about it one
of Jonathan's boys, that had been over on
to the field a good deal and knew all a
bout it, come along, and. hearing the dis
pute, be said, "Father, there needn't be no
trouble about that, for thistles cant never
grow there; it aint the right kind of land
for thistles and you couldn't never make a
thistle grow there if you rhouW try as long
as you live."
"So much the baiter," said Jonathan.
Nand I'm determined, the whole world
shall know there slat no thistles there, and
shunt never be any there ; and NI write
it in large letters on a board, and eel it up
on a poet by the side of the road where
every body goes along, and the writing
shall be, 'here shoot never be no thistle.
allowed to pow on gdikappklidd."
"You will; will you I" says Wan.
"Yes, I will," says Jonathan.
"Well. then," says John, "I'll tell you
what 'tie, brother, if it is the last words I
have to speak, if you do that thing I'll split
the firm right in tu, and build up a high
fence between us, and I'll never have any
thing more to do with you the longest day
I live."
"1 cant help that," said Jonathan ; "my
mind is made up, and the world shall know
that there shant never be no thistles allow
ed to grow on grld.apple field."
And while their blood was up, Jonathan
went to work and put up his sign -board.
all writ out in large letters. At that, John
turned as red as fire, and called his boys
and went to work and run a great high
fence across the farm between him and
Jonathan, so high that they had to get up
on a ladder to luok over it. And when it
was dope, John'went upon the ladder and
looked over, and called out as loud as he
could call, rit4uo4 by, Jonathan, I've done
with.l o 4 f 6 4 evari "I cant help that,"
said Jonathon, "there alum never be no
thistle* analtn) 1p rely op r i d -a pp le
044,
AN,. this the families lived entirely sep
arate, and got along the best way they
could, but with' much less comfort than
they used to have. Some things that Jon
athan rniged he had as much agin as he
knew what to do with, and it rotted on the
ground. And some other things that he
didn't raise, and wanted very much, was
rotting on Johu's. ground. And jest so
'twas with John on 'tether side of the fence.
Things went on this way a few years, and
they didn't know much about how each
other got along. At last one deg Jonathan
heard John up top of the ladder, calling out
most bitterly, "Brother. Jonsthan.,Brother
Jonathan, do come; the Silverbuoklei are
here. liekin my boys half to death, thrash
in of whh titbit's*. and leratehin their
eyes out.. Do come led bring your boys
over and help drive 'ens away."
"But you se done with us forever,"
said Jonathan ; "and beiides, it's too much
of &job to get over that fence. I don't see
hut you'll have to fight your battles out
the best way you can. Remember. I al
ways told you that you had better weed
out them thistles. If you you hid follow.
ed my advice they wouldn't now be scratch
in your boys'-. eyes out ; but, instead of
that, your boys might be over with my
boys diggin iu gold-apple field."
.Ould-apple field be hanged !" said
John, "1 wish I never had heard of it, and
then this fence wouldn't a been here to
prevent your coming over to help us."
The upshot of the matter was,iliat John's
boys all got a dreadful lickin, which they
didn't get over lei a long time, and the
Silverbuckles carried off es much plun
der as they had a mind to, and made John
give 'em &Ailed of a ;trip of his land...
Some time after this, while Jonathan's
boys were holy diggin on gold-apple field
the Silverbuekles, who had always been
wrathy about that field, agreed with the
Goldthread family, who lived south of 'em,
and with the families of the &diens and
Shoshone, who lived over 'tother side of
the pond, to go together &give Jonathan's
boys a lickin and rob the orchards. So
down they went in whole flocks and
swarms, and the first thing Jonathan'.
boys knew they were having it rough and
tumble, and—were getting the worst of it.
Jonathan heard the outcry, and run puf
fing and sweating down to the high fence;
and looked throug a crack, and called out
to John, .Brother John, Brother John, the
Silverbackles, and the Gnldthreads, and
the Bohess, and the Shushona aro swarm
ing over on gold-apple field, and fell afoul
of my boys, and I'm afraid they'll half kill
'em. Do jest send your boys over, to help
drive 'em sway."
John put his fingertip to the side of his
nose, and says he, "Brother Jonathan. I'll
tell you what 'tie, my boys are out of the
scrape now, and I reckon they better keep
out of it. And, besides, they've had one
all-fired thraeltin lately, and I reckon that's
theirpart."
The upshot of the matter this time was,
that Jonathan's:.boys got an awful drubbin,
end had their orchards all robbed, and the
Silverbticklee, and the Guldthreade, and
the Bohens,. and the Shushona went off
with the plunder.
Not long after this Jonathan was walk
ing one day along by the high fence, think
in sod ruminatin,and lie thought he would
look through the crack and speak to John.
Arid, as he put his face to the crack, John
was that minute putting his face to it to
speak to Jonathan, and their noses alma
hit each other
said John...is that you, broth
er Jonathan? How do you all do to-day
I should like to shake hands with you, but
I cantget my hand through this crack, su
you must take the will for the deed."
. „
"Well, it teems to he a pity," said
Jonathan," that this fence should stop our
shakin hands. Don't you think, brother
John, it would be as well if it was out of
the way, and we should agree to lire
together again and help each other along
as we used to do."
"That's jest what I've been thinkin of,"
said John.
•'I guess we should both fare better for
it," said Jonathan.
"I reckon we should," said John.
Well, the upshot of the matter this time
was, that the next day the boys on both
sides were at work tearing down the high
fence..
"And now, Mr. Cheerman," said Uncle
Joshua. lowering his voice, "seeing how
things did work in one case, and judging
from that how they would be pretty likely
to work in another case, I move that our
Delegate to Congress shall be instructed :
Firstly, to vote against Jonathan's put
ting up the sign board. But if it is put up,
Seoondly, to vote against John's pitting
up the high fence. But if the lence is put
up.._,
Thirdly, to rote for pulling it down
again as quick as possible, without waiting
for both sides to get a lickin flint."
Here Bill Johnson jumped up, and slap
ped his hand down on the bench so hard
that it made the house ring again,and says
be. "1 second that motion. Mr. Clieermtn;
and I move that Uncle Joshua Downing
shall be our Delegate to Congress."
No sooner said than done ; the instruc
tions and the Delegate was all carried at
once by a unanimous rote.
So I remain, your old friend,

IMPORTANT REIHN/SCRNCES.—It will be
recollected that a speech made by Senator
Dix, of New York, sometime since, con
tained an extract from the Diary of John
Quincy Adams, proving that in 1820, the
members of Monroe's cabinet unanimous
ly agreed that Congress had the power to
prohibit slavery in the territories. Mr.
Calhoun was a member of that cabinet
but when this reminiscence was adduced
he denied its accuracy. This denial gave
rise to a bitter ceintroveray. particularly
between Mr.. Denton and Calhounl., and
this coniroversey has induced Obis.'.
Adams to give more elaborate tixtraeu
from his father's diary. These extracts
are deeply interesting and conclashie.—
They show, Ist, That the power of Con.
gross over slavery in the territories wag
fully discussed in the Cabinet Council.-
2d. That while some of the members of
the Cabinet doubted whether the prohibi
tion could be inforced after the territory
became a State. not one of them expres
sed a doubt in regard to the authority of
Congress to prohibit slavery in the terri
tory. ad. That the doctrine now main
tained at the north, was then fcquiesced
in by the south ; for no fault was found
with either Messrs. Monroe, Calhoun,
Crawford or Wirt, (all southern men,) fur
having admitted the right of Congress to
prohibit slavery in the territories.

Wooo.—The following recipe for render
ing wood incombliatible has been, we be
lieve, tested in regard to its efficacy, and,
although personally we have not seen it
proved, we think we cap recommend it as
being of much Utility, particularly when
applied to the surface,. of wooden roofs,
or other places particularly explieed to the
action of fire. It is very simple in its
preparation, which requires the operator
merely to take equentity of water propor
tionate to the iodate of the weal he may
wish to cover, and add to it as much potash
&icon be dissolved in it. Wheatbe water
will dissolve no more potash, stit Into the
solution first a quantity of flour paste, of
the consistency of summon "painter's size ;
second " sufficiency of pure clay to render
it of the consistency of cream. When `the
clay is well mixed, apply the preparation.
as before directed, to the wood; it will
secure it from the action of both fire and
rain. In a most violent fire wood thus
saturated may be carbonated, but it will
never blaze. If desirable a most agreeable
color can be given to the preparation, by
adding a small quantity of red or yellow
ochre.—N. O. Farmer.

A YOUNG ]IAN SHOT IST 1118 PATIIISR.-
We learn from a letter received from Van
Buren county, lowa, by a friend, dims moat
melancholy accident occured near Keosau
qua, in. that county. A man named
Swines, while on a hunting excursion,
killed his sun—a young man about .18
yearn of age. They both carted together
and, coming to the foot of a hill, separated
going in opposite directions. A .shurt time
afterwards the fattier perceived his eon
coming towards him, and mistaking him
for a deer, shot him; the ball entering the
young man's breast and killing him install

BENEFITS OF DEEP PLOVOHINO.-It
has been stated by Prof. Mapes, who has
recently been delivering lectures on agri
culture in Burlington, N. 1.. that for every
inch of deeper ploughing than is practiced,
if adopted throughout that count•, and
the manure ploughed in. he had no doubt
the county would yield annually au addit
ional hundred thousand dollars. In inany
parts of Pennsylvania, deep ploughing is
uniformly followed by unusually abundant
crops.
TIIE lOWA COTESTED SEAT.-- We learn
that Daniel F. Miller, Whig, is now in
W ashington, and will contest the election
of William Thompson, Democrat, of the
first congressional district of lowa, who
obtained the certifi, ate of election. The
vote of Kanesville, Pottawamie county,
it is stated, was destroyed by the inspect
ors, and never returned. The full vote in
the district for Miller, with the vote of Pot

There was some dispute as to whether
Kanesville belonged to Pottawatamie

ceived his friends in the public parlor of the Ho.
tel. During the reception he made a brief but
handsome acknowledgment of the enthusiastic
welcome extended him, and incidentally rehrred
to the Slave question as follows
"You have been pleased to allude, gen
tlemen, to my return to the Senate-4 fear
you entertain hopes in that connection
which can never be realiged. I feel, it . is
true, the same devotion to the 'public wel
fare that I have always felt—but I also feel
that the hand of time weighs heavily upon
me. Grave and solemn questions will
doubtless arise during the approaching ses
sion of Congress—questions which have
already deeply agitated the public mind.
You all know that out of the late acquisi
tion of large territories in the west and
southwest, there has arisen a question
which has caused much excited discussion
—I allude to the question of Slavery. In
my humble judgment, my friends, both of
the parties now so clamorous upon that
subject, are in error. One of them loudly
contends for a Congressional enactment
prohibiting slavery, for the alleged reason
that the institution without sorb law will
take root in the territories—the other loud
ly contending against each an act as un
constitutional and depriving them of the
right of moving their slaves thither. Now
in my opinion, I repent, they are both
practically wrong, inasmuch as the quea
non properly settles itself. To say noth
ing of the laws of their territories derived
from Mexico, the climate, the soil, and
the industrial pursuit of the people forbid it.
I am, perhaps, going too far, gentlemen,
in expressing myself so freely on an se
casion like this. Hat for the allusions you
were pleased to in,,ke in your letter, I
should probably not have said so much—
though my views on these questions are
altogether conservative.
There is one point, however, on which
feel at liberty to express my sell fully—
/allude to the Union of the Shaer.—
This question is, in my view, paramount
to every oilier. There is none of sufficient
importance to be considered in connection
with it. Under all circumstances, in any
and every event, I shall labor for the per
petuity of our Union. Let the storm
come from what quarter it may, I am pre
pared to meet it, and stand by our glorious
confederacy. (Here Mr. Clay arose to
his full height, and became exceedingly
animated, while his eye flashed with fire
and communicating his enthusiasm to the
entire audience, they were deeply moved
and gave vent to their feelings in deafening
applause.) Mr. Clay continued—l look
upon the dissolution of the Union as pro
ductiveof every evil that could possibly
befall us as a people.
Should so awful an event take place, ev
en those who dare to meditate it, would
reap no possible good, but would share the
general rein. In that sad event our coun
try would want no historian. The history of
Greece and other ancient Republics, would
be her history. Entangling foreign alli
ances and internal commotions of every
character would speedily follow. Some
daring military chieftain would arise, and
play, once more, the part of a Philip or an
Alexander. We should be involved in
wars, wars, wars,—wars most bloody, un
relenting and devastating, would be entail
ed upon us. But I truest in God, gentle
men, that such a time may never arrive,
and I assure you that my untiring elti3rts
shall be directed against it.
The Banking System.
We obecrve that a number of applications are
to be made to the coming Legislature for the re•
newel of old Batik charters and the establishment
of new instituttdPis. This fact, in connection with
the recent failures and wholesale swindling ope
rations of several Banks in this and neighboring
States, will no doubt draw the serious attention
of the Legislature to the present Banking Sy‘tem
of the State, its defects and the remedy to be ap
plied in correction of the evil. Now that the
senseless hue and cry against every sort of Bank
ing and ••monopoly" of all kind, raised by dema
gogues to subaerve selfish purposes, has subsided,
the present may ho regarded a favorable period to
give the whole subject ■ calm, thorough investiga
nnn—such an investigation as the great impor
tance of a good, sound, currency demands, and
which the people of the 'late expect. That there '
■re defects--vely serious defect*, in our present
Bankin&plaam;lnd which, as long as they re
remain uncorrected cannot fail to render the whole
system an object of distrust and suspicion on the
part of the great rnsas of our people, cannot be
controverted. The absence of proper checks and
guards leaves the operations of the system, as it
stand. at present, entirely in the hands of the Di
rectors and officers of the several Institutions, and
if these latter chance to be good and true men,
the institutions under their control may not be
prostituted to selfish and corrupt purposes; but if
otherw6e, there is but little to prevent their being
converted into mere shaving shops for individual
aggrandisement, or into bolder wholesale swind
ling establishments. The recent gm, fraud s de- 1
veloped in connection with the Montrose dr other
institutions, cannot but have a tendency to excite
anew the bitterest prejudice against all banks,
unless something be done by way of correcting the
defects of the present system. What the remedy
should he, we are not prepared to my. But we
hope to see the Wm fairly and fully met by the
coming Legislature, which will contain men of
mind and integrity 'minable of devising and carry
lag into execution some general banking , law, bity
red upon Buts Stock or some other reliable sacur.
Ity, and combining the sdrantages of the Moen,

Nader our Banking Institutions honest end rife,
and diffuse among the people a well-groinded .
confidence in their integrity and arability. This
done, we shall hero a aonnd stable currency upon ,
which all can rely. end. which is , ier mantra) to the
promerity of the commercial and general bean"

Post-Master Gesseratta Report.
DE:7.Th° Annual Report of the Postmas
ter Generetbas reached the Press in ad
vance of its transmission to Congress. It
is a well written, clear, business-like doe-
Untent, and possesses much interest. We
gather from it the annexed items, which
may be of interest to the reader.
The number of Poet Offices in the U.
States at the close of the year ending June
80, 1849, was 18,747, there having been
921 established and 333 discontinued with
in the year. making an increase within the
year of 588.
The number of Postmasters appointed
within the year ending June 30, 1849, wee
6333.
Of that number, '2782 were appointed
in consequence of resignation; 183 were
were appointed in tronsequence of death ;
284 were appointed in consequence of
changes of sites of offices ; 2103 were ap
pointed in consequence or removals; 11
were appointed in consequence of comm is
sions expired and not renewed; 26 appoint
ed in consequence of commissions renew
ed ; 23 were appointed in consequence of
becoming Presidential by income exceed- .
ing 91000 ; 921 were appointed in conse
quence of new offices.
From this it will be observed that bnt
2103 removals have been made out of 16,
747 Postmasters, by the Administration,
notwithstanding the clamor raised by the
Locoloco Press in regard to wholesale
pros2ription and persecution for politic::)
opinions. It is to be regretted that the
Departnfent has progressed so slowly in
the good work.
The number of mail routes in the Uni
ted States on the first day of July, 1849,
was 4,943, and the number of contractors
4,190. The length of these routes was
107.703 miles.
On these routes the mail was transport
ed 42,547,080 miles, at the cost 01112,428.
515, which makes the average coat of
transporting the mail lust year live cents
six mills per mile.
The gross revenue for the year ending
June 30, 1848, amounted to *4,905, 170,
of whieli *3,882,722 were from letter pos
tage, *810,016 from newspapers anti
pamphlets, and the balance from miscel
laneous items. The expenses during the
same year were * 4, 479,049—1eaving an
excess of revenue to the Department of
428,127.
The increase of letter postage over that
of the previous year is $532,458 or more
than 15 per cent,
The number of franked letters transmit
ted through the mail during the year was
1,303,503, and of franked public docu
ments 4,016,595,—the postage on which
under ordinary rates, it is estimated, would
have amounted to about $BOO,OOO. The
Post Master General very justly thinks it
very unfair that a high postage should con
tinue to be assessed upon letters and news
papers to make up this heavy deficit occas
ioned by the franking priviledge. He ac
cordingly recommends either that the frank
ing privilege be abolished, or that the pos
tage be paid on Congressional documents
arid correspondence out of the National
Treasury. This done, the postage on let
ter cou Id safely he reduced to a uniform '
rate of 5 cents, if novloweir.
GOOD A DNlCE.—Every Whig who can af
ford it, should at least take 0110 Whig paper. The
interests of the press be should - take warmly to'
heart, and should promote its welfare by his own
subscription, promptly paid—by his influence and
his exertions among his friends and neighbors.—
It is this sort of support that makes • patty press
in return, efficient End energetic, ■nd stimulates
it to renewed exertions. Them' sour sentiments
exactly.

item men, as well AS those who wish to
make every penny count most for them
selves. This being the order of the day,
the undersigned wishes to keep with the
current, and at the same time give the
reader a good hint which path to travel
to make his money count most. A few
good reasons will satisfy the reader at once
why it is that the undersigned, will and can
sell any gentleman a suit of ready-made
clothing. from the commonest every-day
snit to a fine Sunday and superfine wed
ding suit, cheaper than any other estab
lishment. In the first place, then, he is
able to sell cheaper than other establish
ments, because he is well acquainted. with
ids business. He buys end sells for cash,
and knows when and where and how to
buy his goods. "Goods well bought are
halt sold." Even if he had no advantages
over any one in his line of business, he
can still undersell them, because he re
quires no large profits to make up for
large expenses. He attends to his busi
ness himself, and therefore incurs but
await expenses, comparatively speaking, in
carrying ou the same. He sells his goods
for cash, and therefore requires no large
profits to make up for loss, sustained by
credit gales. No one will doubt that the
Cash and One-price systein together with,
small profits, is the best mode of dealing
and (nest. advantageotti ,10 the percitaser..
If any one doubts this, he will be.convin
ced of its truth by calling at the Clothing
and Variety Store, opposite the Bank,
where he will find a large assortment of
all kinds of Ready-made Clothing. for men's
and boys' wear, together with every arti
cle in this line of business—Clueks, Over
Costa, frock, sack. business and dress
Coats, Pants and Vests of alll descrip

all kinds of Shirts, Collars, Cravats, Hand
kerchiefs, Silk Goves and Stockings, wrap
pers, Caps, }late, together with some fan
cy articles—Jewelry. Pistols, knives, and
a few Six-shooters, all of which he will
with pleasure exhibit fur examination to
those who call upon him. The prices are
such as will satisfy every one that this is
the place to buy Fall and Winter Cloth
ing. You will he asked but one price,
with but a very small profit. The sub
scriber takes this occasion to tender to the
public his thanks for the liberal patronage
which he has thus far received, and res
pectfully solicits a continuation of the
same. Also for sale, a very good and
neatly trimmed ROCKA WA Y BUGGY,
