Now they well knew the liberal character of Mr. Winthrop as a politician, before he was nominated. They knew that he was opposed by a number of mem. bersfiom the North usually acting with bet per. ty, solelybecuse he declined to take as advanc ed a ponitioh on the Northern side of the slavery question as they thought he ought to occupy; four of them, I believe, had:voted for him betok end yet arcing and knowing all this, they deliberate ly repudiete his nomination,. and eeparat e from his and their puty, and act op in opposition to him a Whig frcim their own potion of the country, who Ia not pretent, and perhaps will; not be for weeks. I feel conatnained to say, this seems very hke declaring that henceforth no man from the North, must expect their supportas Southern. Whigs for any office whatever. It is about ae di. gent, practical, and etlicient 4 a etep towards the ; dissolutron of the Union as could well be taken. Bat enough of this for the present, I will merely add, however, by the way of an illustration of the petnia,icas tendency of their course, that if the wholabody of Northern Whip were deliberately to join the seeeding*Democraut and unite with them:upcin David Wilmot or James Thompson, and elect him, they =odd be only Imitating the example let them by this ill advised band of • Southern men.

Boma of Mix, and Mr. Hubbard of Ohio, are detained from their seats OM the part of the Democrats, and Idr.Julian of It., on that of the Free Sollers. The Soothe= Mends of Cobb will very probably not ; press thq menu forward with that energy they ' woad otherwise manifest,for the reliant that they hope to rola) delay, in receiving the accession of these two member of the party, who are ex. peeled every day. The House adjourned atter the fourth ballot, because it was plainly enough seen by both the Meads end Free' Soil opponents of Cobb that nothing mote could be done to advance his eleo -1 den to day.

What should be the degree or mesaare of the fedtiction of postage, at this time, is entirely a Minden In be settled by Congress; but tt is pro• meth respectfully to submit what would be the pichable effect of one measure of reduction. The mom obvious and prominent feature now in our postage is leadble price, ten cents, charged on all single s carried aver three hundred miles. The reduction of this ten cent postage and charging all dull, letters at eve cents each, would much amplify the manner of account lag and render the same both more facile and per feet—woold remove the dissatisfaction arising from the great difference in the postage in differ ent offices, even in the same vicinity, hnt separat ed by thin arbitrary line, and wouldinte promote and encourage the correspondence and rcourse by mail between the most distant parts of the country, which most need and demand it, in precise pro portion as their other meths of utteroommunms. don are slow and unfrequent. The neatioquiry is, what would be the effect of this reduction on the receipts from postage, and how would it affect the velum. It is not pcisaible from any returns or data in the Department to ascertain with much prechtion the number of letters poising annually in the mail un der this charge of ten oenta. Even if the number of ten cent truer, were actually known, it would still be impossible to determine how many of them were ten ant letter. from being double. Thence Bring the great difference in the estimate of loss of revenue from that • reduction as watt present. ed to the report of the Postmaster General last year, to wit. $715,187; and that of the first 'Arent, $300,139. From a careful examination now made of the data in the Department, It is estimated that the whole somber of charged letters sent through the math. the past year was 62 000,000. and of this number about 15,500.000 were subject to the ten cent postage on account of distance. If, then, the redaction were to bring no more letters into,the mail, the diminution al revenue therefrom, the fire year, would be $775,000. It is already shown that the surplus on the fart day of Jule ls.ll. was $691,652 70, and that on the! first day of July next will he $655,710 57, whlnh e! will undoubtedly increase in fume years by eel- I oral accumulation, and by increase of the number of letters aridag from this reduction will, in the fir.. , 5 ear, °mist= no cheers in the Treasury, and it I. extremely entertain whether its operation can ever produce that ellhct.

Since the last session of Congress the postal treaty with Great Britain hue been carded into full operation by regulations settled in purauence of the treaty by this Department and the Post Whoa Department of that conntry, which regula tions have been proMtilgated: rbb leading feature ot that arrangement is, that letters on which the ostage ie w ho pre paid, or on which none is p paid, pass through the mails between the two countries, and are despatched and delivered in the same manner as If these countries were one; and an account is kept in each of the postage col lected for the other, which Sr periodically settled. The effect of this Is, that while the tea service is almost entirely performed by the British uOl.lll thins, the son postage belonging to them makes the balance in 4:enmities( lageiy amino o• The operation of ibis is no Injury, as we actually re ceive all we pail but it is slated, in order to en plain, that now all this postage goes Into the or. count of postage received an this Department, and to ewell Its apparent amount, when it is subject always to the annual reduction of this balance payable to Great Britain.
