DIGDU3D IlESSGiiOER. Friday, Tcbrcary SI 1315. The Bill reducing the present rates of post age has passed the Senate and will doubtless pass the House df Representatives, and be come the law of jthe land. This bill takes from Post Masters the privilege of franking their letters, yet it allows them in settlement 1 : . ' ., 1. 1 - ! the postage on all : letters upon business i con. nected directly with tbeir oGces. We hope this bill will pass first, because we have al ways believed the present rates of postage too high, and the proposed reduction will be the means of disseminating more information through the country generally, by placing mail facilities more immediately within the reach of every one. Another reason j why we desire the passage of this law is that, as the matter now stands, it v.'i!l cut down the salaries of Post Masters very rr.-cb, end there is such a rare amonz the Democrats to get Whigs turned out and their own party in stalled in office, We wish to see them show their patriotism by holding the offices without tbe rev. erdtbeth-s hitherto accompanied them " Mr. Clingman will rerbap3 tabs cp b:3 abode in Massachusetts, after a while, in cr. der to assist Juhtly Q. in carrying out his abolition views. rUulncl Democrat.

Mr. Belscr, of Alabama, Laliev. ed that our nght lo tho Oregon was indb-r j table, and thov'h this cueel:en wes Lbe'y to involve us in a war, he was ready to tab ground in favor of it. Ho had been weieh ing the progress of Great Britain on ibis sub- ject, and was anxious to check her cebe.;al strides upon the nations of tho earth. lie teas against negotiation ; for whenever v:e ne gotiated ice lost ground.' " An honorable gentleman from Missouri spoke in the same strain. The Oregon was in the possession of a foreign power, and it was time for freemen to dispossess her. We could not, without disracin ourselves in ths e C3 of foreign nations, consent to any ceo. iiauou upon mis subject, veaave r: 1. .'. j . .. iu jcur, conmiuEu inis wariiKe geniieman, from' a conflict with Great Britain.

But the question is not to bo settled in th:3 vav.
