Article 1. There shall be an immediate exchange of cerrespondence between the United States of America and Denmark by means of the said steamers, and this correspondence shall em¬ brace letters, newspapers, book pacVets, prints ofall kinds, (comprising maps, plans engrav¬ ings, drawings, photographs, lithographs, and all olher like productions of mechanical processes, sheets of music, &c.,) and patterns or samples of merchandise; and such corres¬ pondence may be exchangetl, whether originat iug iu cither of the said co_otries, or originating in countries to which thcso may respectively serve as interraediarios- .Reticle 2.

Article 4. The postage on ordinary letters sent from the United States to Denmark, or from Den¬ mark to the United States, shall be respective¬ ly twelve (12) skilling rigsmont, or seven (7) cente for a siufile letter.

4. Neither office shall be bound to dolivcr any article the importation of which may be prohibited by thc laws or regulations of the country of destination.

Registered coricspondeuce shall, in additiou to the postage, bs subject to an intertat ional registration fee not ex¬ ceeding ten (10) cents in the United States, end eight (8) sailling rigsmont in Denmark, and this fee shal. always be prepaid. Each office is at liberty to reduce Ihis fee for the niail.'i it dispatches.

Art. 9. As to the correspondence origina¬ ting in one country' and destined for thc other, no account shall take place, and thus the post office of the United States shall retain the wholo amount of posttigc collected in the Uni¬ ted States upon international paid correspon- dcuce forwarded to Denmirk, and upon inter¬ national unpaid or insufncientiy paid torres- poadencc received from Denmark ; and in like manner thc Danish post office shail retain the whole amount of postage collected in Deu mark upon international paid correspondence forwarded to the Uuitod States, aud upon in¬ ternational unpaid or insufficiently paid cor¬ respondence received from the United States. liowever, each oftlie two departments shall be al liberty to claim accounts to be settled when it appears that in one country for onc yoar thore is levied 20 per ceut. more than in the other.

It is always understood, however, that such correspondence shall only be charged with the Americau Dau ish rate, augmented by the postage due to for¬ eign countries, or for other exterior service.
It is agrceil that thc accouat of this corres¬ pondence shall, as to the international posta¬ ges chnrgcablc on the same, be regulated on the basis mentioned in the preceding article; but that the amount oftbe extra-national post nge, or other tax for exterior service, shall be reciprocally accounted for at full rates. Sucb charges for paid correspondence to, and for uupaid. cnrre=poudenf.-.n from, foreign oosintrlos, shall therefore be summarily entered on the respective letter bill.< to the credit of the couu¬ try through which the same is forwarded.
Art. 11. The Post Office ofthe UnitedSiates sh.ill be grauted the privilege of transit of clo¬ sed mails through thc Danish territory, ex¬ changed in either direction, to and from Swe¬ den and Norway, for a payment of four skill ing rigsmont per thirty (30) grammes net wciglitof letters, and two-thirds skilling rigs¬ mont per forty (40) grammes net weight of prints, patterns, and stimplcs of merchandise. CoiTcspondcnco exempt from postage, le.tters which cannot be delivered, as well as money orders, shall not be charged with any transit rate.
Reciprocally, the United States cffice grants to the office of Denmark thc privilege of Iran, sit of the closed mails exchanged in either di¬ rection between the latter and any country to which the former moy serve as intermediary, by its usual means of mail transportation, whether on sea or land, and the terras of tran¬ sit shall be agreed upon whon the exerciso of tho privilege is requirod.
Art. 12. The postal accounts between the two offices shall be stated and transmitted quarterly, ond verified as speedily as possible, and the balance found due shall bo paid in the coin oftbe creditor country.

KEEPING THEJR COURAGE UP.
The North Anien'ean Eaj.s : Mark Tap- ley won abiding honor for being j')llj und.;? circunistanfes that wonld hiive tried equanimity of Momus. But Tapley was no comparison for the unterrified. Beatca in Ohio, beaten in Maine, in Oregon, In¬ diana, Vermont, Connecticut, West Vir';in- i.i, Rhode Island, New IIauip>hire, North Carolina aud Pennsylvania, and Buccussful only in Georgia; beaten where they pre¬ dicted ruccess, and wliere thoy didn't; where they said that victory must be won, ii.s well as where they only clamored for it; with their Liberal leader absent and his subordinates quiirrcling ; with org-ini- zed opposition from their own ranks in Kemucky, New Jersey, J'ennsylvaniii and other States; nndor .nil of these circum¬ stances they address the people, to show that the Kepublican majority is not o great as it was at the last I'rexideiitial election, and tb.it if other States will vote as Georgia did, there'll Le life in thc old horsa yet!
It is the most amusing whistling ever known. I'enn.^ylvania settled the linc of political prophttts and the use of political Seers for thc whole campaign. The elec¬ tinn in Georgia is the sole example in which the conglomerate have n-it beeu slapped in tho faee. and demonstrated their weakness by striving to show vi^or. It is competent tor them to make the best ofthe bad ; to show how mnch better off rhe country would have been had Breckin¬ ridge been Pre.-ident, Buckalew Governor, tiie Secession consented to and the future given over to an .issurod political uncer- lainty. Bnt to argue. the possibility of victory in November and sub.stitute anoth¬ er for (hant—this is not competent for thn worst cases of Bloomingdale or Kirk- bride's.
A dangerous'experiment.
A correspondent of tbe Chicago Tinien iepicts the peril of making Horace Greeley President:
'•Horace believes in the right and pro¬ priety of seco: sion, and if he were master, of the situation he would, if desired, give effective aid to divorce the South from the North. The President is eouiinandcr in- shief of the army and navy. Less than tjur yoars would suffice to put the South ill fighting order again, ifyou have a Pres¬ ideut during thc time that wiil wink at their preparations. * * Now, suppposing a President, ho'ding the politieal doctrine that the several States have the right to secede, .should be inaugurated next March, what mighthe not permit in that direction ? Some one will say : 'Nonsense to talk such jtuff!' In reply I would say it is not non- lense, but is ic the highest degree .?c7isp, to talk of theso things, especially when it is claimed that Greeley will carry all of the Southern State.s, or that portion of them which has the elements of rebellion. * * If there were no other objection to Mr. 'Trcoley, his avowed political principles on che question ofthe right of secession are ;nough to render him unfit for President. The risk is too great. It would be more than madness under the circumstances to take the h.izard."
Another correspondent, taking this ss a text, goes on to show what Mr. Greeley said at Pittsburg, indicating that his mind had undergone no change. What he said it Cincinnati was the result of a scare. He was alarmed at the response he had awakened, and only showed how unstable and vacillating he is by taking back the declarations made at Pittsburg. The coun¬ try cannot bear the hazard of makingsuch a man President.
The Mission of ths Republican Party.
In reply to tlie assortioa that the mis¬ sion of the Republican party has beeu accomplished, and that there is nothin" more for it to do, tho North Ameriean sums up its future purpose, thus :
'¦First, thcro is our colossal war debt to extinguish, and every dollar of it raust be honestly paid off before the Republiean party surrenders power. Second, there aro our domestic manufactures to be so extended and strengthened and built upas io make the nation self-supplying, and be¬ yond the reaeh oftho ruinous foreign competition that Democratic free-traders ilways make haste to invite when in power. Third, we have to rid the country finally of that prolific source of trouble and ex¬ pense, Indian wars, that spread havoc and panic along our borders and retard the prngress of civilization in the remote in¬ terior. Fourth, we have to buid at least three more lines of railroad to the Pacifio coast, so as to make sure of the intcr-com- niunication of the Atlantic and Pacitic ilivisions of the Union under all circnm- -tances. Fifth, we must regain our lost control ofthe oeenn carrying trade, not by buying foreign vessels, not by giving up the contest and naturalizing foreign con¬ trol on our own shores, but by fi.-tering .Vmeriean .shipbuilding, and American -hipping merchants and Araeritan trade. Sixth, wo have to rebuild tho ruined ex¬ port trade in domestic manufactured goods, so terribly injured by the war and tho ravages ofthe British pirates. Seventh, we have to establish thc power of American capitol in such a way as to rclcve ourselves oi the ever increasing drain prodnced by our foreign debt, and to relieve our money uiarkctsoif the control exercised over thein by foreign money kings. Light wc havo to make tho legal lights and privileges of the woman as broad, comprehensive and goneral as those of tho min. And last, out not lejst, we hive to harmouize the relations of labor and c:ipit il."

The ob¬ ject was to nominate a Straightout Elec¬ toral ticket. Congressman at large, and other officers. After organizing, a letter W.IS read from the State Executive Couj- mittee recommending that as the result of the October elections rendered ihe election of Greeley outof the question, there ex-. isted no necessity tor thu nomin:ition ot an electoral ticket in support of the Loui;i- ville nominee, recommending the honest Democracy of the State to refrain from taking any part in the contest nf the two Republican candidates.
