NEW PONTAL tltlUM.l IIM*
With the new year a new Paatel law went into
Sffect, aocording to which all letters for th<- BiHill
ttust be prepaid by stamps or tbey will not be fur
ward d This Act i a bantling of the Potitmaa
ttr-?eneral, who foisted it on the country with the
aid of that rare embodiment of Feet-Office wi*dom,
Mi . Edaon 13. Olds. If Mr. Campbell doe* not
nod some trouble iu- getting his law carried into
effect we are greatly mistaken. It is a ino*t ab?
surd enactment in ercn particular, grossly un
juak to the citizen, of irast inconvenience to flajaff
poet matter and clerk, and to an absiduto cer
Uiot> will in numerous instance* atop the mails,
and, ao tar na tbe Pout-Office is ti utH;esaary in
atitutioD, virtuaLLy block the wheels of our social
fabric.
We have uow 24,000 Post-Offices, mmiy pi them
fi the denies ol the Kock) Mountains, on the borders
' f Puget Sound, in the fhstuesses of the Sierra Nth
vada, or scattered over the vast plains ol Utah r. ri i
torj, New-Mexico, Nebraska and Kausas. BflttW af
thewe are from forty to uiueti dais' journey from
Washington, and before a return can be had from
the General Post-OfTi< e, from three to HtB months
muat elapse, aud during all tins time w in iu \. r a
poatmaster is out of stamps the mails must atop,
for be is by law forbidden to *nud them unless
there is a Post-Office stamp on every letter. All
postmasters iu ?mall offices ouli give b<inds iu mod
orate auins, and the Department in BBBaBBaJaWOOB
cannot credit them with large quantities of stamps.
Then their coiunnasious are small, the most of them
are poor meu, nudtLvey neither have the disposition
nor the abtliti to invest much moue\ in purchasing
tfcoao necesserv article*. Further than IUb, if
they get a hrgo supply, express companies and
speculators will immediate l i buy them up. Mr.
Pliny Miles, in his pamphlet ou Postal Urform,
gree? some results of his experience as ? mail
agent in California aud Oregon, which are in
atrurtive on this head. He tells us that the
ciprceamen charge from one to ttree doll urs,
and sometime* as high a*, teu didltrs a letter.
tVa the lau declares it a misdemeunor to sell
stamps ut a higher price than their fee. these in?
genious uiddJc-uieu will uot sell the *tamp alone,
but put each stamp ou an envelope and sell tho
stamp for three exnts and the envelope lor two
ahilliugn 1 Ho much for the eftect ol this law iu
the frontier districts; and uow let ti* bob its ajp bjb>
tiou iu populous places.
The words of the act are, that ??From and
? arter the 1st day of January, 1666, the Post
" master-Oeneral may retpiire portmastcrs t
"place postage-stamps upou all prepaid letters
"Upon which such stamps may not have been
"placed b) the writers." This does not com?
pel the public to affix stamps to their letter*, Lut
the "Postmaster-General may require postmaster*
? to place postage-stamps" upou them. Now b,
the wording of this law wbeu am pcrsou goes to a
Poet-Offitv window nud tenders hi* letter with
the monej for the postage, the clerk,
or person in attcDdauce is obliged
by law to receive it, and theu the stamp must In?
put OU before the letter .s sent off. Are uof our
Pott-Office clerks, with three rates of letter post?
age, three raetbxda of computing the same, and
otter fortritt* kumdrtd rttt of book and ummyhlu
p**t*4t* are they not autficieutU tasked, taxed aud
bothered in their 0[>erntions wither. requiring of
thorn this additional labor I Here, in New-York,
there are uo couveuiencca for the public to get
stamps, but over* person requiiiug them has to
gtv?perhapa from Oue-hundretl-aiad-twenty-ntth
atreet. four or five mile*?to the old hulk in Naasau
atreet to obtaiu them. There, after a narrow and
tortuous journey around the building, up .* crooked
flight of stairs, by one or two guide-boards, and
into a little aeutry-box of a place, a bag bbbj b
found who seil? theee tioverumeut labels. Com?
pare this with ta? Engliah s\stein. AJ ,?
who hare eTer beea in England know how
infinitely superior t<> oura it is. Af even Po*:

Ofiec?. i* jn-t one aixth part a* much trouble and
OJMaaM MOOrdiov to the amoent of bu*ine*a done,
a* it is with ii-. Thi? i* evident from tb?*following
figure*:
The labor of receiving, rating, stamping, making
up and delivering letter*, together with the aeilin?
of stamp* to even bod) at till times and pisee*?
mail transportation not include?in ISM, in Great
Ilritain, cost jS't.-t?,!'.'">, and the number of letters
sent we* 443,049,301. One half of this exj..-',?
was for tbe sen ic of letter-carrier* ajd letter-re?
ceivers?person* not employed in our sy stem?and
this would show the expense to be $3 SO for each
thousand letters, not reckoning tbe expense of let?
ter-receiver* and carriers. Ill the same year in
the United State* tbe local eipenses iu our Post
office* w ere $f2,'A'.*J^i, and the NakOf of IctfjOTI
handled for tLat money. 119,f>e4,4in, making just
a/21 a thousand letters. Were ?e act ouimodated
here in New-York as they are in thellnglish cities,
we should have a receiving-ho'ise?a place to re
e. ne letter* and sell stamps?od nearly evert
other block throughout the city, aud have a free
letter-delivery, thus entirely doing away with lay
? < e-sify lor ore person in b hundred ever to go
to the principal Post-Office at all.
We cotr.'i.eud these facts to the consideration of
our merchant* n.d business men. It is generally
understood that we are to have a meeting hero in
NfjW/.York during the present mouth, to take
into consideration the subject of our postal regula?
tions, and particularly the postal wants of this citj,
and if we get up definite instruction* nud memo?
rials, the united voice of n community living in the
largest city on the American Continent, and a city
that pays one-tenth of our eutire postal revenue,
ennijot be disregarded by Congress. Our own *u
?iMMM nnd neglect are alone to blame if we con?
tinue to suffer year in and year out for what ia vir?
tually subject to our dictation and in our own
hands.
P11ILONOPHY Ol-' ililim-illllt'l.
Two or three hundred yours ago, the fashion wu*
to do everything iu the name of (rod and Religion.
It was to promote the glory of God and for the
propagation of the Holy Faith that the Portuguese
established themselves in India and Africa, find
that the Spaniards depopulated the West Indie*,
conquered Mexito and plundered Peru. So, too,
of all tho early Kuglish colonies in America: they
iron nil oadssrtakeii?al Least it is so set down in
the charte rs?for the spread of the Christian re?
ligion and the salvation of the bouIs, of the sav age*.
Wo of this nff have grow o much less pious than
our ancestors. We- do not even pay to religion the
tribute- of hypocrisy. Not ouly is the glory of G?d
absent from all our thought*?we do not eveu talk
about it. Nevertheless, we arc not, any more than
our fathers, without excellent reasons, honorable
disguises, for any piece of rascality to which our
avarice- or ambition irmy leapt us. Philosophy is
now-a-dsys lugged in to supply the place of religion,
und, instead of excusing our robberies is ii-.eidout
to the- promotion of (rod's glory , we- justify them as
beiag but I BfCfSSry result of the inevitable Ihm*
of nature-.
One of the most thorough-going disciples ol this
new school (l manifest dcttiuy, by which plunder
|| Jastilld 01 i'hilosophical prim -iples, is Mr. E.
ii. S<p' ! te Cxirgfc d'Affairos of the Cuiti-d
State* tO Central Americii, and author of two
works: one on Nicaragua and the propose-d ship
oaaalbj tho river flaa Jaaa: the other, just pub
lishid, on Honduras, Sap Salvador, and a pro
l?o*cd raiiioad from the Golf of Omoa to the
Hay of Fonseca on the Pacific. There is, we
mu*t admit, a little variation iu the spelling
of the names; je t we entertain very little doubt
that Ot r l'luli sopher Squier must Ik* a liue-al
di aOeadaal of Philosopher Square, one of the tutor*
of Tom Job es, Ijusortalist d bj ridding, aud of
whose doctrine of the eternal fitness of things and
conform:!; to the law of nature our Squier appears
no less ,ii U nt an advocate thau of his praoticc of
squatti; without much regard to the rights of pre
occupi (a, wberovtr anything tempting offers.
This whole! doctrine of robbe ry upon philosophical
principle-?what we may call the philosophy of
tillibust.'i ism?is comprehensively and energetically
Nt lorth by Mr. Squier, in the third chapter of hi*
new book, in which he treat* of the-population of
Central America.
Central America comprises an extent of about
15o,(X>U square miles, being thus about equal in
area to New-Euglaud. New-York aud Pennsylva?
nia. Within these limits are contained two very
distinct regions?the- distinction depending not on
difference of latitude, but ou difference of level.
The low country, perhaps half of the whole- area,
and lying principally ou the eastern or gulf side,
has a purely tropical climate and vegetation.
The- high table-lands in climate and producta
nearly approach the- warmer regions of the tem?
perate ;:one. At the time of the Spanish discovery
and coiique st. three centuries and more ago, the
low landa w ere- inhabife-d onlv by a few bands of
wandering savages, and they remain in much the
same conditiiu to the present day. The table?
lands, ou the contrary, w ?-re the seats of a dense
population living by agriculture, and of an aborig?
inal civilization not inferior to that of Mexico aud
Peru. Of the actual number of inhabitant* at the
peiriod of the conquest we have no knowledge, and
little beyond the guesaes of travelers of its present
population. The conjectural estimate aa to the
latter which finds memt fave>r with Mr. Sqm>r i* as
follows:

wblch tbe* cr-?ed the RcpuVic of Central
I Anie-iea. TLL* mo- etnont and the earlier govern
mint of the co' T tr were wholly in the hind* of
tbe wi ite*. But the; coon quarreled among them
-elro-. A* in otber Spam-.v\nrariean State,, a
bitter tend broke eat between rhe U.ni Spaniard*
end tbe white err* Je*. These latter, instigated
bv ti e n membrane of p**r wrong*, eliimed the
nthwtft government of the country, and from
MB* I f Hat State* they succeeded in expelling the
native-born Spuniard*. who. under tte colonial
rule. lud been the sole master*, aud who, though
f.-w in numVr*. ?rill po*?*--??ed a large part of the
wealth, enterprise and intelligence of rhe country.
Another fetid ui*o broke out befwevn the
prie-thtvd und tbe liltera!*. At firat, tbe
liberal* prevailed ; but the priesthood. *e*Mng
themsehea in danger of b"ing atripped of their
power and property, appealed to the half-breedi
and Indian*, who were thu- fir*t led M fake part
in political affair*. They, however, were not sat?
isfied with being mere tool-. Under the leader?
ship of the famous Current, they made themaelve*
c< mplete master* of Guatemala, the chief State ot
the Confederacy, where the priests were driven to
ti e nee- ssity of imitating the policy of their Latin
pr> deOCaVOtl toward the Goths, Frank*, and other
barbarian invaders, and yielding up the Govern?
ment to those who had seized by the strong
band, to preserve as much influence M they could
by playing upon the superatition and religion* feel?
ings of these new nilers. Such is the present con?
dition of Guatemala, which, after various vicissi?
tudes of civil war. is still under the rule of
Ct rrt-ra, whom Mr. 8oui? ifl pleased to pronounce
a '? treacherous and unscrupulous half-breed,"
fwe had a-ppo-cd !,e was a pure Indian, > "who
?? rules over a desolated country with irrespon?
sible bwsy." Yet iu the whole of his romantic
nnd divers:fied career we do not at present recol?
lect any act quite so '? treacherous" or "unscru?
pulous" as Mr. Walker'* murder of the unfortu?
nate Corral by the peg tenth i sentence of I court
martial.
In Co-to Iiic*. the southern province, the whites
htid the prit-thwd, acting iu concert, have suc?
ceeded in preserving their authority, and that com?
paratively prc-perou* proviso* ha- never )ct been
desolated by civil war. In the three central
State* tit- liberal or anti-priest part) prevailed;
but the consequence of these internal struggle
was that the Federal Government fell into a bey ?
I Deo, and has at length entirely disappeared? the
five States now being governed as independent re?
public*.
A large pat ' of the territory eladaol by Hon?
duras?a* yet a vast uninhabited fcioot?hi claimed
al-o by the Itritisb as appertaining to their district
of Balize, or as belonging to their ally and feuda?
tory, the King of the ifaafultos?;t mix -d rao- of
Indians and negroes, who. a* against the Spanish
inhabitants, have had relations with the English
ever since the tine of the buccaneers. This con
t:o..rsy with the British has lei the rulers of
Ui nduras to court the faior of the United states,
to which they have even proposed annexation:
and in connection with pr. posed canals and rail?
roads from the Golf to the Pacific, if had led to
violent struggle*, for influence with the Govern?
ment* of Hondtira- end Nicaragua between Brit?
ish mid Amoiican diplomat*, iu which our Mr.
Squiei ha* been very much mixed up: fo the
Clayton-Biilwer treaty, and to all our imbroglio
with Greet Britain on the subject of the Mosquito
?orereienr; anil Oi e.? lo\|U< vslilch "lie* within the
disputed territory, and which is chvlntedatOOCe
by the Mosquito* and the British in thi ir name,
byHonanrt' V. * _n. ai.devctiby Costa ?ica?
the boundaries of all tin - .stat-?* being M v.-f very
"distinctly defined.
The Republic of N icaragua?of which, as of all
the five States, the liest inhabited portion* are
toward the Pacific ftidi?contain* two principal
citit-Leon, not far from the Pacific port of
Rcu'tjo, and Granada, on the north-west shore of
Lake Nicaragua. Thoaotwo rival citaM biHtain-'
the ne*ts of two political faction*, one of which
affected aconservative, and the other a reformatory
or demooratic leaning, and whose rivalry at length
involved the Suite in u civil war, under which it
has been suffering for sOaTafl time putt. Theas?
haustion of both parties, ami the stuhlen los?, of their
leader* by cholera, have enabled Walker, with bis
band of d? ?peradi? ?, b\ affecting to side with one
of the contending parties, to make himself tempo?
rarily master of the country.
ilavLng laid thi* foundation of facts, let us novf
it-turn to Mr. Squier's phili?sopby of ?llibuntering.
Following in the footstep* of Mortou and some
other physiologists who haw attempt'd to conceal
by p*eudo scientific theotief the nabrducaa of mh
gar prejudice* and ignorance, our philosopher lays
down the following laus a* huviug been determined
by ??anthropological'' science: First: That na?
ture perpetuates no human hybrid*, but that in
cases of amalgamation?which our philosopher
assumes always to take place against tbe wanting
of a natural instinct?the result is that ouc of the
two races completely absorbs and annihilates the
other. Second. That all such |amalgamations are
attended by the most deplorable result*, intellect?
ual, moral and physical?the mixed race contrast?
ing unfavorably iu all the**.- respect* with any of
the original stocks.
Upon these principle* our philosophic fillibuster
proceed* t<? argue, first, that the white race in
Ceiitial America is in danger of being "gradually
' .il-orbed in tbe lower"?i. e. that of the au
( ' nt Itidiun pos*? Ksor* of the country?"and their
? in-titution- di*appe iring uuder the relative bar
?? barisfli of which the latter are the exponent*;'
to ward off which direful calamity and to re-eatab
li*h the "institution*' introduced by the Spanish
conquerors, but to which the Indian and mixed
population are no longer disposed to *ubmit, Mr.
Sp-ier propo**-* to re-oiijbrrc the white blood and
to re-establitsti the aristocracy of eolot by a libs-ral
infuaion of Noith American fillibuster*. who, with

With the exception of a small amount of five

which wa* taken up by th. Barings. Stieglitz of St.
P. tersburgb, in conjunction w ith Hope A Co. of
Amsterdam, have been the principal agencies, for
Russian credit with the capitalists of Western and
Central Europe. The four-per-ceut Hope certifi?
cates, under the special auspices of Hope, and th
roar-percent Stieglitz inscription*, under the
special allspices of Stieglitz, are extensively held
in Holland, Switz. rland, PrnaalB, and to some c.\
tent even in England. The Hopes of Amsterdam,
who enjoy great prestige in Furope from their
connection with the Dutch Govcnm?nnt and their
reputation for great Integrity aud immense wealth,
bavt will deserved of the CsBI foi the rdfortl fliev
have made to popularize nts bonds tn Tlollaiid.

ing the respect of the most eminent merchaut* of
the ago, and Stieglitz being one of the free-nutsoury
of Jews, which has existed in all ages?these two
powers combined to influence at once the high?
est merchants and the lowest jobbing circle-, have
been turned by Russia to most profitable account.
Owing to there two intlueuces. and to the igno?
rance which prevuils about her interior resources,
Russia, of all the European Continental Govern?
ment*, stands highest iu the estimation of '('hange,
whatever um) Im- thought of her in other qaartOTB.
But the Hopes lend orih the prestige of their
name; the real work is done by the Jews, and caa
on') be done b) them, a* they monopolize the
machiner of the loaiunoiig. ring mysteries by con?
centrating their energies upon the barter-trade in
securities, and the changing of bbbbbj and nego?
tiating of bills in n great measure arising there?
in m. Take Amsterdam, for instance, a city har?
boring many of the STOTBt deic udjuts of the) Jews,
whom Ferdinand and Isabella drove out of Spain,
and who, after lingering a while in Portugal, were
driveu thence also, aud eventually found a safe
place of retreat iu Holland. In Amsterdam alune
they number not less than IC.ihX), many of whom
are engaged in this gambling and jobbiug of securi?
ties. These men have their agents at Rotterdam,
the Hague, Le)den. Haarlem, N)rawegen, Delft,
(in uingen, Antwerp. Ghent, Brussels, and various
other places in the Netherlands and surrounding
German and French Territories. Their business
is to watch the BBOnejl available for investment

This Jaw organization of loon-mongers is aa
dangerous to the people a* the aristocratic organ?
ization of landowners. It principally sprung
up in Europe since Rothschild was made a Baron
by Austria, and enriched by the money earned by
the Heestens In fighting the American Revolution.
The fortunes amassed by these loou-mongers are itu

on the people and the encouragement thu* afforded
to their oppressors still remain to be told.

The arrangement* attendant ou the placing of

Mi ndelsM.hu. and count among the more modem
members of the family the distinguished musical
eosafOter. In their ease, as in that of the Lea
sings and a few other Frankfort, Berlin and Ham?
burgh families, owing to some peculiar literary tra?
dition or some peculiar iutluemc of refinement,
their houses are far superior, iu character to
those of the general clique of loan-mongers.
Their representative iu Humburgli too, Mr. Be?
sch?tz, i* man of high character, and there is
little doubt that ttlttet their auspices the thirty -
three milli' us put by Stieglitz at their disposal will
?oon be taken. But, as iu the cuae of Ifopo of
Amsterdam, the part taken by the Mftid?lssohn*
will only lie iiMnin.il. and to lend the prestige of
their name. KothscniiiU' special agent at Berliu,

Bhta and Heine of Hamburg, both honsoi
of great tnfntnoe in Jew financial circloa,
eopeeially Heine, will each and all disseminate a
goodly amount among their multitudinous customer*
and bring the stock within the reach of all the
northern sectiou of Europe. In this wise any
amount, how ever large, is soon absorbed. It must
be borne in mind, that beside the local and pro?
vincial speculations, there is the immense stock?
jobbing machinery between the various European
gathering points of the loan-mongcring confedera?
tion now all connected by telegrapa eotnmunica
t on*, which, ofcourse, vastly facilitate all such oper
aticna. Moreover, almost all the Jew loaD-mongera
in Europe are connected by family ties. At
Cologne, for instance, we find the principal branch
house of the Paris Foulds. one of whom married a
M:-*0)ppeuhe;m, whose brothers are the chief
railway speculators of Rhenish Prussia, and next
to Heist.'dt and Stem, the principal banker* of
Cologne. Like the Rothschilds and thi Greeks,
the loan-mongering Jews derive much of their
strength from these family relations, as these, in ad
dit.on to their lucre affinities, grve a compactness
and unity to their operations which insure their
success.
Thi* Eastern war i* deetii* d at all events to
tiirow some light upon this system of loan-monger
mg u*. well as other systems. Meantime the Ciar

was one of those numerous from of \ ort he ni birth

propagandist?-. He was a native of Pennsylvania
or New-Jersey, but emit/rated young to QsjOfgdj*,
where he rose to distinction as ti law yer and politi?
cian. He wan originally a broad onstruetionist,
the frieiid and partisan of Calhoun, aud lirst became
known to the coiintryMtt large as the Attoniey-Oen
eral ofOcneral Jackson's first Cabinet. When Jack?
son quarrelled with t'alhoun, Kerrien resigned and
U'came a uullifior. as Calhoun did. From being a

to bo narrowed down to Pierce, Wise and Bucha?

Adams of " South Side" notoriety, and winding up
with his letter to Dr. Stone, pitching into a Boston
committee for presuming to Invite him i Wise i to lec?
ture iu thnt city ou Slavery. To these document*
Pierce has replied in the tail to his message?a
draggling and heavy production, but of which the
evident infont is to make his kite rise. As Mr.
Buchanan is not yet in the held, we must decline
to commit ourselv es Absolutely, but as between
Pierce aud Wise, we think, that Ploreo is juati?
t utitled to the nomination. In bold and blustering
assertion, Wise doubtless takes the lead, but in the
matter of industrious, pertinacious and most delib?
erate fabrication of the facts of history, Pierce aa
decidedly ha* the advantage; and considering the
probable Constitution of the Cincinnati Convention,
tin so latter bids for the nomination ought to carry
