A moment's reflection rou*t convince very Postmaater guilty of either of tnese charges, that he trifles with the ^obligation imposed by his oath of office, ^and should be held responsible for such ^ross violations of duty.

Publishers'ol newspapers, and their subscribers, as well as Postmasters, are requested to report to the Dt par!mem all irregularities in the reception of pa »ers forwarded in the mail and an assurance is given, that where the irregularity shall be proved to have been produced by the uegligence or design of any contractor, postmaster, or cloi k. most «Qectual steps shall be taken to prevent its recurtcnce. li isotten of as much importance to trie public and always as essential 10 the reputation of the mail, that news puper* shouid be as speedily and saf transmuted as Icttets and an ind ituual who is inattentive to the fornu r, !8
