One o f the 'most serious obstacies which the people have had to contend with in defence of their poliGcal rightsin times past and nndcr the governments o f the old world, has i>eeit the awe they have been taught to fad for their rulers. It was always d S c o lt to make the people review the actions ot legislators and of public dignitaries clad in purple and fine linen, with the cool soratiny which they are accustomed to bestow upon the conduct c f priTatc citkeue, for they were deluded by the iapression that those who gov erned bed gifts from some quarter which were not vouchsafed It is not probable th a t the political interests of the masses in this cotmtry will have .to contend much longer with any e rror of this n ature. The scenes of ■whieh our Congress has been the theatre, during the ■) ORd espeeiaJIy the cve^ats which 1 in the Senate chamber yesreniay,TnU eoon dispel whatever undue moral influence is exerted upon the minds of the people, by the mere force of official position. When the most exalted assembly in the country tolerates the unnatuial blackguardism of such a man as Foote, from day to day, and from week to week, and JubmiM to have the manners and lawlessness of the stews introduced to its presence, and habitually iployed in the public discussions of Us members, cod be felt lest the senatorial charac ter will have an undue inflaeuce in the nation, or th a t an excessive respect for the body will prevent ght o f ] This is the only reflection which occurs to us cal culated to soothe the mortlflcatlou every American must feel when he reads the account, which will be foand ia another p a rt of this sheet, of the ruffianism OXhibited yesterday in the Senate by Senator Foote. ThS report which we have, comes through a highly prejudiced channel, and is not entitled to entire con fidence ; bat the following facts seem to be clear i that Mr. Foote commenced a strain of personal in- veotiva against Mr. Genton, of so bitter and dUorder- y a. character, that the telegraphic reporters Were dis- couraged.fcom reporting i f through, lestita publication should aggravate the animosity air was dnu( mostmm< tated a ze< balance t&be strnek between the debtors and the eredi- tOtB, WHoh revealed rather than begat the poverty which, now no effort can conceal.

Again, it would not be worth while for a non-resi dent to keep np the supervision of a moderate sized three thousand for their daily food; and yet nothing Is more Inevita ble, as long as tho land is held by a few abtentco landlords, in such large quantities. In my next 1 will endeavor to trt savor to trace the connection between the condition of things which 1 have been describing, and the future destiny of Jamaica os 1 T he Ziisc M ixes of N ew J eesey .—It is said that the zinc mines which have recently been discovered in Sussex county, Now Jersey, aro among the most valuable in the world.

Nothing less profits o f a very large estate could compen sate him for the trouble and expense of keeping up a force of attornies, agents and book-keepers, and for tho absence of that personal devotion to its management, which none but a proprietor ever feels. T o theaeand other circumstances, material now to enumerate, may be tlement o f the island I snmstances, which it is not attribnted the i since the set- 1 by the Eoglish, to accumulate real estate in the hands of large proprietors, and to exterminate from the soil, all men of small capital Till recently, such a thing was never known as a small farm of fifty-er a hundred acres, to be put under would bee caalled c a fiate a country residence, and would bo approprla kitchen and ornamental gardening, parks, and tween the parties.

Out of one hundred and ^ar estates in Jamaica, selected indis- ly, the average size of each estate was over 1,202 acres. There is no reason to doubt that the average size throoghout tho whole island is still reater. For example, eight estates, which have aarish of 8t.

T h e whole history of Mr. Benton’s career in the Senate of the United States forbids such a rs cultivated by men of large capital, who are generally unwilling to sell fragments of iheir property for the reasons 1 have already suggested.

A large meeting was held in Baltimore the oth day to help on the agitation in favor of a reduction of the rates of postage, which is beginning to ani m a te aIIj p a rts of the country. The Mayor of the city presided, and made a spirited address. After he had conqisded, Mr. Barnabas Bates, of this city, who deviktes a ll his time and energy to the further ance of tpis impoitant subject, went into an elabo- arg^uaent to show how a reduction of postage d incrcaso the revenue of the government, e’ tated the operations of business and ihange o1 ali the evils and al petuated, and the few sales which have occurred. whjleit& cU itat contributed nothing, apparently, to the restora tion of the equilibrium between labor and capital, which must precede any p.-rmanent prosperity in Another oonsequence of this delusion about the ne cessity of preserving the present monstrous prop tions of the estates, is that the most of the i invested here is appropriated to tho two or three fa vorite staples which 1 have mentioned, and the island illed to import nearly everything it consumes. ible that a country which resolutions in favor of a uniform rata letter dated at W ashington, April Fetit|onsare pouring into Congress from every pc *fnion ia favor of the reduction of post- o a ta ^ of two cents per I were adqpted with unanimity and enthusiasm. The fojUowing letti 15th, rel4tes to this subject: “ Fetit|onsa r tion of tjhe Ui age to iico cents pre-paid. The chairman of iloase Committee says he has “ a cart load of them, which cmaxly shows that the people are in favor this resolution, and therefore Congress is bound to comply With their very reasonable request. The memberaj generally, both of the Senate and House, say they areiiin favor of a reduction, hut how far to go they havj^ not fully made up their minds. Som< in favo r ^ f ttco cents pre-paid, and five if n o t; ot , agreeably to the recommendalion of the resent Post Master Generals’ reoommonda n grow any kind of grain, almost without culture, ould import all its flour, its meal, its rice, le quantities of peas and beans grazing to of .cured a t ai ir reports., These o have three cents pre paid, and five if not ; while many a re inclined to adopt a uniform rate of five oqnl late and presei members in f»Tor qf a further reduction, but ra te to bq qdoptod they a re not s g i “ N either of these propositions, in mynpi exactly to the true revenue point. Two paid is the rate* which should be adopted. Observa tion a n d experience 'satisfy me that Congress should adopt i t w ithout delay; but an authority which pect is decisive on this p oint.

In examining the parHamentary reports on the postage.ques.tion to-day, I find th a t Rowland HiE, th a t noble benefactor of the people of England, gaye his testimony before the committee in 1843,-that the pre payment o f postage is attended with param o unt advantage, both tp the post-office a nd ta the people, and that he strongly re commended its adoption. The limits of this letter wiU not allow mo to state his, or my own, reasons for tho measure,! nor is it perhaps necessary, as tho snb- ject h as been so- often discussed, and the arguments stated ia your paper. “ 1 wish now simply to say that I totally disagree ■with tho recommendation of the Post Master Gene ral, and for two reasons: “ 1. Five corns is only one cent less on short dis tances than the rate charged under the old law. The ^onscqueaces are, that this class of letters is nCl sent through the past office, but by private conveyance: and expresses. Who, for example, wEE send letters to Brooklyn and pay^ five cents postage, and two cents to the letter carrier^when he can have them safely and quickly delivereh: for two cents 1 This is appli cable to WiEiamshurg, Newark and other towns ad jacent to New \ ork The same is applicable to Bos ton, and a li tho large manufaetnring towns around it, especiaUy as there axe some '24U expresses which leave Boston every day, carrying parcels and letters, and dehvering them at a very low price. There are miUIons of loiters passing to and from these cities and towns, which are not sent through the post of- fied, because of this h igh rate of postage. Besides this high rats prevents thousands of persons from writing- B a t put tho postage to two cents, and no one would feel the postage to be a burden. The people would bo induced to write frequently, a nd to ^ n d their letters through the post office. “ 2. My second objection to a utiirorm rats of five ,-flnta is, that it wiU impair tho ravenue of the post office, and thus retard the progress of reform. Let- ter 3 oa lon^ must bs sent tbrough. the post oScea# becaasa there are no expresses to carry them. If the rate on this clags of letters is reduced to five cents, the post office wlDj lose five cents on each latter, and the increase of this! class of letters wiU not bo pnfncienfc immediately to moke up this loss of post age- Should, jthis be tho result, the opponents of cheap postage would prononneo it a faEure, and Wo shouldhave to labor five years more to g e t it down to Ton;ro*'S. do .........

Tho Franklin- ite vein has been supposed to contain but 17 per cent, of oxide of lino—tho amount its chrystals were found to contain when chemically combined. Recent ex amination has shown about 20 per cent, of the entire mass to contain 20 per cent, of free oxide of zine me chanically eomblned. The outcropping of tho veins on Stirling Hill are on its easterly face, about 4i)rods west of the W alkill, and about 100 feet above the level of its bod.

Davids, two contained 3,662; i n h t . Elizabeth, six contained 18,olii; in Westmoreland, two contained 3,883. Of course, estates like these can only be owned and except from sugar, rum, and coffee, arti- cles whteh the negroes know how to produce as well as, or better, than the whites. If they attem p t; thing else, the negroes must learn how to Jo work, and the white superintendents are gOnerully too ignorant, too lazy, or too indifferent, to take the trouble to teach them. To cultivate either of the great staples f have mentioned, it has always been esteemed necessary to have very expensive works a t tached to each estate, costing generally from forty or fifty thousand pounds. 1 have works here which cost sixty course the oxpen; proportion to the size of the property ; on the con trary, like the expenses of superintendence, it costs but little more for machinery to manufacture the sugar and the rum for an estate of two hundred acres than for one five times its size.
