They were classical liberals, essentially libertarians. That does not mean they were libertarians. Also, the postal service was the country's comm link. There was no private service available, nor was it possible to create one of the same capacity. As a matter of fact, the service was necessary to conduct govm't operations and for the conduct of commerce, which was one of the major motivations for the creation of the Constitution in the first place.
