A historical financial summary notes fines on contractors for new post offices, revenue and expenditures of the department, and expected savings from reduced postage. It discusses weight system fraud, suggested rate reductions, and early 19th century postal reforms alongside anecdotal public prayers and philosophical marriage anecdotes.
A reprint from the New York Evening Gazette warns that Jesuits in this country threaten republican government. It cites historical expulsions, abuses abroad, and claims a future risk of control or banishment, urging readers to investigate and judge the matter themselves.
A report outlines proposed changes to postal rates through 1848, including extending 15 cent single-letter rates, then abolishing them and restoring current levels. It calls for restoring printed matter rates, limiting free change papers, franking for postmasters, and mandatory postage payments by subscribers. The document cites 300000 dead letters returned quarterly and 400000 lost under the new law, plus the Baltimore Washington magnetic telegraph cost and receipts.
