The Postage Reduction Bill OF tue Senate,
amended so as to increase the charge on all letters
carried over 300 mlesto 10 0cens per half ounce, and
TO 20 into operation ON the s of July next tbeing the
commencement of new fiscal year, finally passed
the House on Wednesday-Yeas, One Hundred
aud Tpemty.eght; Nays SerentgtoT. Inc vote
was almost exactly a sectional one-the Free
States for the Reduction, the Slave States against
it, The only Northern vote against the bill was
that of Charles j. fngusOH of Pa. while from the
Western Free States we find the following Nays:

We rejoice to state that not one vote from Ere,
State agains, the bill was cas-; by Wing


The Maryland and Kentucky Delegations dlw
ded-a majority OF them supporting the bill. From
nil the other Slave States there are but hco votes
foT the bilI-that Of Dect of Mobile and Lq6yamcte
OF New Orleans


There were Just thirteen Whigvo all against
the bill.


Four Wigs from Tennessee have published a
Gard, stating that they would have cheeriully voted
for the bill but for the clause which declares that
the Government shall not specify the mode Of co'r
rcgdncc of the Mails, conientng Itself with stipula
ting the rate of speed. This, they say, will cut of
a great deal of Stage accommodation in the West
We don't doubt it; but what rgh, the Government
has to tax the Letters sent by to keep up Mail Stages
where the travel will no, warrant i, is Just what
puzzles us. We can't have Cheap Postage il we
load the whole country on the back OF the Mails.
We wish the five cent rate were extended 10 50t
miles, and are not without nope that II yet may be
by conference between the two Houses But AT all
events, let nothing prevent the final passage of the
bill.


There was rumor in Washington before we let,
that John Tyler had been waited on by The South
ern Loco-Focos, with pressing invitation 10 Fcto
the bill |, would take just tha, TO render the Veto
