Many people suppose it to be for the convenience of the public—for the promps, speedy and cheap conveyance of private letters and There is no obligation on the part of the people to employ the government arrange- ments for this purpose unless they please. It is not a matter of emcimment and profit, a lucrative mo- nopoly for tie government, nor & means of extort- ing money from the people. It was established to facilitate the intercourse and business of the com- munity; yet the Postmaster seems to view it as an Suppose, in his anxiety to make the department a source of revenue, he should issue an edict that, as he construes the law, every ‘L Willent is our only tno Ziel the Herald in Troy, N with cautiousness, av y ing (he peper in thet city wil app! occasioned ; yet Crear Literature.

The grand topic is, whether Bishop Oaderdonk will be supported in the stand which he has taken in the ordination of a young divine, whose principles on the doctrines of the church, as re- cognized by the great body of the laity and clergy of the American Episcopalians, were consi- dered as improperly based, and inclining to the citizen should write a letter and pay the postage He would be set down as a crazy man.

The object of this is to compel the newspapers to be carried in the mail, in order that he may get a few In relation to this matter the Postmaster’s report for 1840 states as follows:— “ The practice of carrying newspapers out of the mail, without having secured the privilege in the contrect,] found to be so general that it could not be suppressed without great inconvenience to the public; and, asthe ambiguity of the law admitted doubis high respectability.

The proceedings of the fist day of the convention (Wed. nesday) were not of a marked character. In the annual charge of Bishop Onderdonk, which occu. pied very nearly an hour, no allusion to the ques- tion was made. The charge was listened to with the most eager anxiety by all present, and manY felt relieved as it ended. The subject was of itself of deep interest to every Protestant, as it treated of the history of the Church in Europe, both prior tor and consequent upon the Reformation and trans- planting of that Church to America, and its growth The unhappy influences of the converts from the schools of philosophy, upon the re and simple elements of Christianity, as taught i and spreed throughout the nations of that day by the humble apostle and the meek disciple—the wild speculative theories on Church government, and disquisitions on doctrines simple and in but few was such an expression obtained that would compel the sanction of the most ultra party man. The real object of the several meetings was kept as distant from the voters as possible; for instance, instead of their balloting for candidates fer office, the balloting was for delegates to select the officers, and not one in twenty who voted for the delegates knew the choice of those for whom they balloted.
