rorc and more extensively, cheaper, safer and more
exued;tious modes OF transmission on all the most
profitable Routes: and unless this tendency IS ar
rested by- a thorough Reform in the management OF
the Post Office the virtual abandonment OF the Mans
by the great bulk of the Business Correspondence
of the country cannot be far distant.
Res0ired That while we insist that the fo't
Office shall maintain itself, and ask that II be per-
mi,ted 10 do So we insist also that the G0reTnment

Resolred That we call on the People OF the
whole Country 10 speak out promptly, lnfough let
