The four last named gentle - IHaii are new Directors. A Hcrcrlc. l)ic of a rose in aromatic pain.” The Voluptuary, or the Wild Ascetic— which is the happiest ? The one is the vota ry of Pleasure—the other the disciple of Su perstition. Look from the summit of that verdant bank, besprinkled with flowers, and jte the Voluptuary emerging from the “ bright inters” of Fancy. The breaking billows .arklc around him in fantastic shapes, and wir curling crests arc enwreathed witlta sil irr foam. Tiic blue heavens are above him— j rich and lovely landscape smiles around lim. He sees, gliding before him, in mimic naiesty, the beautiful Nautilus, and hears in tie distance, the mellowed harmony of fltrie and bugle. lie drinks in the music and re vels in the secnc. His reflections are unde incd.and his sensations conf -sed- Like the list flickerings of the lamp, his imagination trembles from point to point, until the expir ing scintellation, (even alter leaving its blaz ing source of cmanaticfti,) throws around it for a moment, a glory, and then all is dark. Thus perishes, in his own excesses, the vic tim of.unnatural sensibilities, which original ly sprung from too vivid an imagination—an imagination that would have rendered him happy under the proper guidance of reason and taste. Cut see, who is he,clad in his robe of furs, striding over the snowy hill and rugged moun tain i It is the wild Ascetic. The roar of r-taracts plunging from their head-long heights, rush upon his ear, and winter frowns in desolation around him. He looks upon the scene, and sternly sympathises with its horrors. Like the demon of the storm, he seems to create the elements he moves in, and his mind springs forward to meet them, imparting a commanding tone to all its facul ties,physical and mental. It is the more dark and revolting features, not the more placid |v.nl gently enticing charms of nature, he loves |to contemplate. For him, her silent beauties Bure no attraction. The frightful avalanche, B'hich trembles above his head, ami the ter ihc whirlpool which darkens, deepens, and ■nutters below, are much more congenial to liis feelings. Which is the happiest?—The fcvild Ascetic or the Voluptuary ? ml lit Press—Surplus Revenue — Social Intercourse — ■ I’ngrees and Permanency of our Republican In stitutions, ■ A person on casting his eye over the dis ■inct sentences which we have placed at the Btad of this article, might probably think ■ciii strangely grouped together —but then it Btohe recollected that circumstances often Broduce a relativeness in things which natu* Bally have- no relation.

It Bay there for e be reduced or wlurfJy abolished B> firuwn sugar, salt, tea,coffee, coarse wool, B- and still leave an unexpended balance B the treasury of at least ten millions of dol Dio question respecting the disposal of ic surplus revenue, is one of deep interest, id is engaging the attention of our ablest a '<sinen in every port of the Union. Some fp tntuvour of its being expended by the ' Aral Government upon Roads and canals, °tlvs of “internal improvement.” Others ( iu favour of its being distributed among |,; Sp vcral States, as suggested by the Frcsi :n t in his late message, in proportion to fif respective representation; while, per !'e some, if not all of the free trade advo "■ V’l’ilu ’''ucc the rcyemie so that it should not exceed the current expenses of Government. But the free trade party would probably go with the administration, in f . >r of distributing the surplus revenue (if there , must he a surplus) among the States ; which I is undoubtedly the true policy.* The Aineri- J can System pdrtv are for increasing the ex-- 1 “j penses of the Government !o keep pace with j the increasing income. This is a dangerous I anti-republican policy and can never meet tiie approbation of the people while they are capable of self government, and worthy of the liberty bequeathed to them by the revolution- j ary sages and heroes. But there is one do- j partment of the Government, in which, as j much as we are in favor of economy and cheap governments, it wociij give us great j satisfaction to see the present revenue nearly l cu) oir, and the expenses greatly increased, j W e mean the post office department. In the prosperity and success of this department,; every State, every county, and every town, is equally and deeply interested ; and every seetion of the country pays its due proportion of the tax by which it is supported, and must therefore be equally benefitted in its rcduc-1 tion,or entire abolition. Let the postage on letters to any part of the 1 United States be reduced from 25 to 0 cents —let it he reduced lbr short distances from 18 3-4 cents to 1,2, or 3 cents. Let it be reduced on newspapers from 75 cents per year to any part of the Union to 25 cents— and for short distances from 50 to 12 cents per year—and on all periodicals, pamphlets, Ate. in th<j same proportion. The simple, and onlv objection to an entire abolition of the post office revenue, is, that the mail might be unnecessarily burdened, and per haps overloaded with unimportant business; mail carriers might be allowed to carry letters out of the mail as well as in it, which would remove all temptation to fraud. This arrangement would equally benefit all parties and should therefore meet the tip- j probation of all. It appears to us that it could | not fail to be a great public benefit* Rela tives, friends, literary men, business men, and the religious community would all find the means of communicating with each other, of interchanging ideas, equally and greatly facilitated. But tho principle, advantage would consist in the increased faciltics of ex tending and multiplying the means of all kindsof knowledge. Weekly mails might j be made semi-weekly, and scmi-weeklv dai- j ly. The ydurdy multiplication of [>ost offices j and post routes, and particularly the increas ed speed of the mail between some of our] principal cities by the present active and en* ] terprising Post Master General show what ] might be done were Congress to place at the j disposal of the department a half a mil-! lion of dollars beyond its present reve nue. Whenever the convenience of any con siderable number of inhabitants required it, j we would create new offices without much ] regard to the expense-—and wherever the public* convenience required increased speed in the transportation of the mail, a few bun- ( dred ora thousand dollars additional expense should be no obstacle to its accomplishment. j The present Head of the department has in-j creased the speed of the mail between the j Atlantic cities and New Orleans* about 50 per cent, and from a tri-weekly it is shortly to be run daily. A great number of similar im provements have been made in different sec tions of the country, within the last two yrais,* but they are trifling in comparison to what could and would be done by the department with an ample revenue. The reduction of postage on letters would be a great benefit to the whole country by enabling persons in every section, -to hold frequent intercourse with theirdistant friends at a trifling expense, whereas, it now a- j mounts to a tax sufficient, in by far the greater} number of families, to render the appearance of these social little messengers, “like angels visits, few and far between.” When we take into consideration the great numbers of chil dren, who are separated from their parents by being at some distant school in pursuit of knowledge, or who ai gone from the borne of their childhood in pursuit of business, or are married, and removed perhaps from one of tjic old States to the “far off west,” the ben efit of a cheap and speedy exchange of let ters is a matter of vast moment, only in re spect to social intercourse —but add to this, the religious, literary, political and business epistolary correspondence that already circu lates in the community, and there is not a man, woman or child that would not be an nually benefitted, directly and indirectly, to an amount that would be sensibly felt and pro perly appreciated. A great benefit would also be conferred upon the press (and upon the community at large through the press) by reducing the post age on newspapers. -If newspapers were cheaper, more people would take them; and an increased circulation of papers would benefit in a pecuniary point of view publish ers and editors. But the press is the Bulla- j dium of our liberties; and by aiding and) facilitating the circulation of newspapers, the j post office department wouldcxtcnd and intil* tiply the means of useful information, foreign and domestic, in a'.l matters of interest, reli gious, political, literary and scientific- b itli this view of the subject who would object to the reduction of postage on letters, papers, •Sic. And who would object to a liberal ap propriation from the surplus revenue to tho post office department ? Is there any great interest more purely national than this ! Is there one .o which the surplus revenue could bo applied where the advantages tc be deriv ed from it would be as great, where there can be no constitutional scruples—and where all parties, and interests would he so likely to give their hearty approbation ? To this course, the outlines of which wc have hastily and briefly drawn, there can be, it seems to us, no well grounded objections from any quarter, while the various and rich benefits it could not fail to confer on all {tarts of the country, and all classes of the community, would be incalculable. Wc would not ask a reduction of the revenue even in this de partment till the National Debt is paid ; but we should lie glad to see the next Congress place at the disposal of the Head of it a halt a million of dollars, to enable him to com mence a general and extensive system of im provements, beyond what the ordinary rev enue would accomplish. The progress and permanency of rational i freedom depends entirely upon the general j diffusion of useful knowledge among every class of the community; and it certainly is a question of deep and general interest whether the appropriation of a portion of the surplus revenue to the post oTtcc department, would not by facilitating the interchange of ideas, by affording a more cheap and rapid means of communication between distant points, promote in an essen : al degree the progress and stability of onr free and invaluabfe Insti tutions. Let the press (the medium of intel lectual motion, Ihe lever that moves the world) be encouraged to multiply its sentinels of lib< rty, its guardians of the public weal, | by reducing the postage oil their transporta tion. I,et the means of communication be tween distant friends be rendered cheaper and more rapid—none will be the poorer in a pecuniary point of view'—all will be richer in intellectual and social enjoyment. —Boston Statesman. s'ort'ign. “ The herald of a noisll world." From the Charleston’Courier, of the HGth ult. FROM Ll'- KHPOOL—DIIIEGT. By the lr. brig Norna, arrived at Charles ten, files of English Papers and Loyd’s Lists to tlie 13th ult. the day of her sailing have been received. The fate of Poland is still held in suspense. The Prussian State Gazette, through which most of the recent intelligence from this ill fated country appears oflate to be derived, contains some intelligence, which is, howev er, vague, and on which implicit reliance cannot be placed. Quoting from the Silesian Gazette, which is, of course, subject toPrus t sian authority, it says (hat Warsaw is to be 1 summoned to surrender on two successive days, and that if it refuse, it will be bombar ded with artillery. It alludes also to the re signation of Skryznecki, who is said u to have no command whatever;” and adds that Gen. lludtger is still in the environs of It.-.dem. The same journal officially mentions the ap pearance of the cholera at Berlin, and at sev eral parts of the provinces of Pomerania and Brandenburg, and directs precautions accor dingly, SkryneCkt, the late Commander in Chief of the Polish Army had resigned, and Dembiri ski had assumed tlie command. Later ac pounts, bowevet, induce a belief Fiat Skryz ncckihad been reinstated. It is hinted that the recent excesses at Warsaw, in which the “Jacobin Club” of that devoted eity took so conspicuous a part, were actually cxcilcd by Russia. The Russian atinv was within three Eng lish miles of Warsaw, at the latest dates, and was daily expectihg to receive a strong rein forcement under Gen. Kreutz. The Coronation of the King and Queen of England, took place in Westhiinstcr Abbey an the Bth ult. Feastings and rejoicings in honor of tlie occasion also occured in most of the principal cities of the empire. The King held at Levee the day previous, at which tlie Representatives at that Court of all the Foreign Powers were present— a mongst the number the Charge ’<l Affaires of the United States. A revolution had broken out in Lisbon, in favor of Donna Maria, but it was suppress ed by the troops of tlie tyrant Migual. oagaasaaibufe The market. Moron, November 2, 1881.
