Rr ORT OF THE P. M. GENERAL
The cotrespondent of the New York Tri
bune says:
The Postmaster General believes that there
will be a filling off of forty-ive per cent. in
the receipts of the current year, and that there
will be a diminution of the means cf the De.
partment of $1,328,997.
The savina from former rates in New Eng
land and New York in transportation the eur
rent year, is $232.7312.
The Rail Road service is cnly one tenth of
the wnole, while they charge one-fifth of the
Whole
Should there be a sitnilar saving in letting
the contracts in the other districts to that effer
ted in the Northern. it will amount in 1647,
'48 and '49, to $1,095.73
Compensation to Postmasters and the Post
offices during the year ending 30th June.'45.
was $1,409,875 18. Ovet 20011 Postmasters
resigned onl account of the new law. .
The Postmaster General mentions a case of
fraud on theoPost Office. wnere one envelope
on which $1,60 has been paid there were coun
ted 100 letters enclosed. which would have
amounted to $10.
Tee P. M G. thinks the ringle sheet system
should be restored or reduced to a quarter or
an ounce for a single letter.
The great weight or the mail is by carrying
printed matter. It composes nine-tent's of the
mail, yet pays only one-tenth'the expenses.
lie proposes.the following retirmi:
5 cents each single letter under 50 miles.
10 " over 50 and nnder 300.
15 over300. This to contitnne till
1848, when the present rateshould b'restored.
He recomneids the former rates of News
papers, Periodicals. &c. with right to send
them ont of tle mail. lie advices a limit to
the niumber of exchange papers between Edi
itors. He recutumends the restriction of ti-ank
in privileges to the old groand.
T'e nunaher of letters not called for, the fiest
quarter, under the new law, was 390.000

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Thc President'A Message.-The Oregou
question occupies a most important posi
in.the Message. It is exfiihited in some
new and uni oked for aspect.-During
ite whole'course of the negotiation. the
President seeni to have been actuated
by a sincere d-siri to settle this ijuestion
on ierms of liberality andicomromise.
If argrow up out of the nainteriance
of our rigbts, it. involves. tha, honoriand
self respect of the Ameiida~npeople- and
deep.ly asw eshalil u Jire it asthe greet:.

We'shall-not filter inour duty,hut wit h
'all our' energies ttiite in ihe- defeice di
our country' .honor.
That portion of ifie .Message which
relates to. the Tariff.is peculiarly happy.
It has been long since. the. oppressed
people of the South have heard a voice
in high places,'viudicating and asserting
their interest'with so mueb boldness and
ability.' If the principles so clearly, so
directly, so manfully avowed, and made
the leading ineasure of the domestic poli
cy ofttiis adminhitratinti, -re carried out
in legislation, 'President Polk will have
done as much to consolidate ithe permn
nent prosperity of his country. as any
man who ever had field the rains of pow
er. Faithfull3 has ie redeemed his own
pledges and justified our statesmen in the
.:onilence they have reposed in him. To
the Secrcthry of the Treasury too is a
meed of' ioior due, and we here take
especial satisfaction in expressing the high
gratifieation which fills every heart
amwingst us at the course of the President
and Secretary otn this vital question. We
have not time now to go into the exami
nation ofdetails-but we must be content
Ior the present to say that the message is
souId to the core, and asserm holdly and
unreservedly the- doctrines of free trade as
we in South Cat olina have .asserte~d them.
In short in the several- recommtenda
tions of the Message in regardl to our grade
with forei'gn powers, for instance with
the Nethierlands, Portugal, anid France,
the views of arguments of the Presidetnts,
are those of ai wise, liberal and sound
statesman. They are* free trade docetrim-as,
such as all mtu~st apprmive.
*In tue President's recommendations of
the Sob Tiensury, the collections of the
dues of the Governimet it Golid'and'sirver.'
we~ entirely~ concur. It is the only eur
reucy recognized by the Constitut ion.

The Message.--The auntn.il co-mnrruni

Soult has been finally acceptdd. a royal.

expresses " the very great regret" of the
King at the resignation; but- it retained
the services of the old Marshall as Presi

OUR POLICY AS TO OREGON.
Wbilst therefore we disapprove of that

miunatio. of the Convention of. 1826, pre
paratory to extending our "exclusive ju
risdiction" over Oregon. wit.h its certain
conseq'nence,-war,-we approve of so
much of it. as advises the extending of
our laws over our citizens there,-which
is no more than Great Britain has done.
[t-may also be advisable to raiser. and so
to dispose an additional military force, as
to protect the emigrants ot their way to
Oregon, as the readiest and muost peaca

war, can the enemy lawfully be blown to
the dogs, before he has time to cock his 1
own gutn? We are .sorry to answer-yes.
There is in fact no Ounctilio-no politeness
-no waiting for the ward fire. All you
have to do is to.pick. up your blunderbuss
and blaze away. A declaratiou of war i4
itself quite unnecessary. aad is never
made for the sake of the enemy-but iqi
put the neutral world and still more her
own people in possession of the fact. No
more effectual way can be divised, of let
ting the enemy know you intend in make
war, than to send a large Ueer and bom
bard their cities;-seeing is believing. It
is in this way we are very likely to receive
the intelligence, in advance of the mail;
of a wvar with England A New York
paper states it as a well known fact that
the British minister immediately sent off
copies of the President's Message to all
the Commanders of Bjlitish s~iradi'ons in
this part of the world.- Th6 l'ength of
that document muay serie bo delay the

As to the seccud..head of inquiry-the,
instant two conutries are in a state of wrar
(and it tmatters not whmethe.t this is brought
about by a declaration, or hy an author
ized act of hostiity,) the property of
citize..s of eitlier c!ountry in the other is
tiable to seizure anif confisc ation, andi their
persons to thb treament of prisoners of
wvar. Thus-Napoleont, when war was re
newed after the peace of Amtiens. cap
tured a inultitude of English tourists and
kept them in prison tell he himself fell in
to. the toils- Such extrema measures,
however, are not common andI are con
demned as an unnecessary aggravation of
the calamities of war. rhere may be
cases, however, where this seizure of the
persons of alien enemies, would 'bb en
tirely justifiable,-as whlen, by' residing
at large they might act as spies, or by re
turnitng home, tmight convey dangerous
intelligentce. As for enemies' ships, they
are not usually. siared atallibee'ause they
can all be converted . into itmplements of'
war, either as privateers or transports.
