NKVVrfPAPELl POSTAGE AND THE ABUcilSU F LI AN KlNG PllIVILEGli. From tho Loader. From various indiratious, including those contained in the I Import oft lie Post- master General lor 18 )8, we are led to believe tliat there is a question of re-im- posing a postage rate upon newspapers. The proposed rate would probably be, in accordance with the new cu lency, with which the Pos'al laws will have to he made to correspond, a cent or half a cent on each newspaper. It is much to b.' re- gretted that such a question should have been raised ; arid it is difficult to see how educational grants can he maintained il the freedom troin postage hitherto accord- ed to newspapers is to he withdrawn. There will ot course be no difficulty in proving the necessity for increasing the Postal revenue ; hut it muM he remember- ed that the newspaper postage was repeal ed with a full knowledge of the deficiency which wou'd result. The Legislature grants thousands upon thousands for edu- cation and superior education, Common Schools, Grammar Schools, ahd Colleges without end. A million of acres in Up- per Canada for Common Schools, lIn- ancient Jesuits’ estates in Lower Canada Grammar School and University endow- ments, are some of the forms in which as- sistance to education is granted. Surely the political educationâ€"the knowledge ol the curient public events of our own time and countryâ€".vhich the newspaper pres> affords is not less important than tin* < liter kinds on which so much public patronage is lavished. Il is political education which, more tlia any other, fils a people for the enjoyment of free institutions Admit that I lie political newspaper press j;ives a partizau view of public questions, *till the antidote accompanies the bane, or in other words, we have what Lord Lind- say has called “ progress by antagonism.' Such, in lact. is the form oi all political progress, in free countries. Party i> pit- ted against party, principle against princi pie j and the resulting cmtiasis, ai d com- panions, and the relative force ol the .u - guments by which o| poking principles art sustained, ultimately dtterminu lhe con- test in favor of truth. The ueW'pape. press, whatever may be i>s defects, con- tributes no little to the arguments In which public questions are ultimately de- termined And if we (urn to those de partment* of «*du a i*>n on which s ic enoiirious sums aie every y< ar lavished lM the generosity aud enlightened sagacitr o t!ie Legis'jitu:e do we find that there is 11 antagonism there 1 Do we find a dead level of common opinion pei vailing ih> two sections ot the Province, upon ail ed- ucational questions] Are the common school systems ol euucalion, in Upper and Lower Canada, identical ] Is I he popula tion of Upper Canada at peifect ai cord as to the principle s on wir.ch primary t-il ucation should be encouraged by the Mate I Do the ancient seminaries oi Lower Canada instil into the minds ol tin youth who frequent tIn-in the same idea* as are inculca ed 111 similar institutions in Upper Canada !

As cendihg to (he Universities, *f there is a question of estaidislnug a c/iaii of political economy, must not the questionâ€"wh.ii school of political economy shall In taught ?â€"be fust settled I Have metu phjsicians ag eed upon some foi m o eclecticism compounded Irom the vi>ua and the sensual systems'? And yet meta physics are taught in our Uiiive.-sities which owe their foundations to public grants, in one shape or another. 'II r. 01 jection, that there is a diversity in th character of the political inlormation dis seminated by the Press cannot it is clear from these considerations, be accepted a- a reason for relusing to continue the im munity Irom postage which newspapeis were accorded in 1854-, aud which the) bare ever since been accorded. Aud u the political education of the people, on which rests the hope of success in that ex- periment ot Iree liovernment in which we arc now engaged, is not worth the slight- est consideration al the hands of the legis lature, how long will I be thousand olhei educational grants be secu e Ir 111 repeal ] The blow which is now threatened to be aimed at the newspaper Press is the second that has come from the same gar- ter within the s.ioi t space of a year. Only seven months ago, we had an in- creased paper duty imposed 3t the very moment when the movement in favor 'I getting rid of this *• tax upon knowledge.’ as it is universally admitted to be, was gathering a degree ofstien^th which gna ' antees its future success. Two blows, directed towards the saint1 point, in the short space of two months, have too much the appearance o' system ; and with what- ever justice il cannot, tail to beget the conviction in the public mind that men ii. power have no love lor the criticisms of a free Press, it becomes us, as a peopi**, jealously to watch every encroachment ol this kind. It is not alone by the censo - ship, such as prevails in Prussia, or the “ warning” system, such as obtains under the empire oi the third Napoleon, that at tacks may be directed by the hand of power against the unloved influence of an outspoken Press. Increased paper duties and the recall of existing privileges oi the free cii dilution ot newspapers, as first steps, possess a significance ot which il will be well to take note in time Nor is it the publishers or conductors of news- papers alone who are interested in the mat- ter. It concerns the public in at least an equal degree. The imposition ol new and >. the revival of old taxes on tho«e sources of knowledge on wlucli the great body' ot the people almost exclusively rely, inter- pose a barrier between the people and those means of genet al. and especial y po- litical information, without which theie would be no hope for the success of our institutions. These soirees ol knowledge are the very last which ousibt to be looked -to as subjects of additional taxa i n. In another quarter, an important postal .reform might be eli’ected wi'li great ad- vantage. 1 he franking privilege, wher England, that il wa*. dtetn d ad visible to abolish the privilege altoge'lier, on the introduction ot penny postage.- Now, a letter cannot go free, through the* post, in lOngland, Irom one government office "to another; so completely has every vestige 01 ibis much-abused privilege been rooted out. At Washington, the abuse ol this privilege ha> produced a proposal for re- form. And there are abu id.int reasons why the example ol ICng'and should be adopted here. Letter* not c.n'y to all parts of the. country, but to all parts ol the world, are franked by members of the Legislature, lor themselves or their friends. Such ot them as have large business con- nections, frank business letters bv the thousand. .£16,000 a year is officially set down as the equivalent of the Legislative and Departmental banking; a sum far exceeding what the entire newspaper p( s - age, at the same rates as are charged in the United States, would yield. LLere. then, is a ready means of saving a larger sum than could be got from a postage on newspapers, unless the rates were so Heavy as to amount to some fitty per cent, on the cost ol the papers. Would it not be lar better to abolish this abused banking jiiiviiege than to revive a newspaper post- :»o *-» I 11EV. Al It. (JlllNlQUY IN QUEBEC.

Young Menâ€"Take Particular Notice. There is an evil habit sometimes indulged in by boys, in solitude, often growing up with them to manhood, and which, if not refermed by them in due time, not only begets serious obstacles to matrimonial happiness, but gives rise to a series of protracted, insidious, and devastating affections. Few of those who give way to this pernicious practice are aware ot the consequences, until they find the nervoue system shattered, feel strange and unaccounta- ble feeling*, aud vague fears in the mind. A Most Scientific Invention. An instrument for the cure of Genital De- bility, or more properly known as Seminal Weakness, Nervous Debility, &c., which ar« permanently cured in from 15 to 20 days by the use of this instrument, when used conjointly svith medicines. New Remedies and Quick Cures. Dr AMOS &. SON take pleasure in announ* cing that they have invented a most important instrument for the cure of the above disease*. It has been subjected to a test by tho most eminent physicians in London, Paris, Philadel- phia and New Yoik. It has been declared the onlv u.-eful instrument ever yet invented fe» the cure of Seminal Weakness, or any disease of the genital organs, caused by the eecrei habits of youth- Dr. Amos & Son, in order to satisfy the most skeptical to the merits of these instru* ments, pledge themselves, that in any instance wive e they may prove unsatisfactory after • fair trial, the money will be refunded by re- turning the instrument in good order. Persons wishing the above useful instrument will observe, that the price, with the accom* i>anying directions, securely packed and seat by mail or express, is ten dollars. Beware of Imposition. Beware of empiries and itinerant self-styled professors, who attempt cures, but never succeed Dr Amos & Son have for a long series off yeais heen engaged i n an extensive practice the treatment of these delicate complaints, andi uie 1 tie only legally qualified Physicians who- now advertise to cure certain complaints, or Irom whom genuine European remedies can be obtained. Persons in any Part of the World may be successfully treated by forwarding a correct detail of their cases, with a remittance for Medicines, &c , which will be returned with the utmost dispatch, and secure from observation.
