Postage.-We notice that an order has passed
the Legislature ofPennsyl for the postage in
cured by Members during The Session to be paid
out OF the Treasury. A similar order has passed
The House OF Delegates Of Maryland, which. 10 our
minds, seems perfectly right. The public have
but little idea how burthcnsome this has become 10
the members-many OF them receive fifteen or
twenty letters almost daily on the public account,
which often amount TO more than half their per d.
en-. Such things are quite oppressive and ought not
to be borne. Public servants are subject to many
impositions, and We know Of none more erievous


than to have to attend 10 the onerous business Of
those who lack the good breeding to pay postage
when asking favor for themselves. .--Batt Patriot.
