Tij tin. f)'"ilr 'if thf I 'nitnl Si"!' : The undersigned, who know of I ho earnest and persistent efforts of Mr. James W. llaie, to give to the people of this country iho benelil.s of cheap postage more than a quarler of a century cen-tury ago, take this method to appeal to you and to suggest a voluntary testimonial testi-monial lo that rentl' inan, who has never yet rcc ived any popular recognition recog-nition of tlie gn at km vices of which all are now reaping the benclil. It is propo-cd that, every per on, who may be so in lined, idiail on Monday, Dec. I'Jili, 17", ft a-ide otic three-rent stamp, or the equivalent thereof, for every letter received on that day, as a I holiday offering to the Rowland Hill of i America, that day being the fiftieth i anniversary of Mr. Hale's contention j with tho newspaper press. May we I not hope that the numerous friends of Mr. Hale in every pail of the country, coun-try, as well as all postmasters and publishers, will maiie special efforts to the end that a substantial compliment will result to this popular reformer ; and although many of the active business men of to-day may have never heard the name of James W. Hale, the fact stiil exists that he the father of our cheap postage sys- 'ii. Whatever offerings aie made, jy be sent to A. P. M. Roomc, Esq., secretary of the committee, at New York ; or. if preferred, may be addressed ad-dressed direct to Mr. Hale, 09 Wall street, New York. Contributions need not be limited to the above named amount. The appeal issinued by Samuel T. B. Morse. M. H. Grinnel, W. II. As-pinwall, As-pinwall, David Iloadley, A. P. M. Roomc and others. Professor Morse, the inventor of the magnetic telegraph, who heads the signatures above, in a note to Hon. io. (Jitun, says : "I have long known James W . Huie, as the energetic and zealous originator of the cheap postage system of the United Uni-ted States. He is in tru.h the llow-ladd llow-ladd Hill of the Uuitcd States. If any man living deserves a national testimonial tes-timonial for great public services, I think it is Mr. Hale, who has, at great self-sacrifice, devoted his time and talent, tal-ent, I might say gratuitously as well as efficiently, for tho public.
