The privilege of convey ing money

taken from them, that they have settled
INFO perfect apathy al the loss OF 1t.
Nor would those who now complain cf
the suppression or instruction oftheir
papers harrow up public Indignation
and regret by suggesting that the nse-
curity OF mail conveyance arises alto
gether from democratic Postmasters !;
as ii was not expelient d under the fed

ly and bitterly complain that all the
useful purposes ofthe Post. Office estab-
lishmeM arc lost 10 society by the con-
duct OF those who administer II. The
people Of a free government laboring
under the pressure Of a serious evil will
sooner or later resort to lawful means 10
procure the removal or alienation Of il
his disposition is commemorate and
productive of the most salutary effects
Il must be the duty Of those towns who
are particularly injured by the most re-
prehensiye violation ofduty ofPostmas-
tiers to petition proper Authority to re-
move those Deputies who are thus gull
~ of misconduct We are confident
that such measure would not result in
unavalling effort, We hope this init
nation will produce reformation in
the Post-Office Department if it do
not, the sufferers by the misconduct Of
its officers will avail themselves of the
remedy the laws allow them. The
evil which they now lament and CEN
sure must arise either at Boston, Port
land, or Augusta. This complaint is
not made without sufficient reason. 1t
is matter of regret that man has such
disposition to find fault with others when
there IS scarcely justihable cause to CEN
sure. The indulgence Of this propen-
sity is productive Of the mischief Of de-
aiening the public ear or Of turning it a.
side from the imadversion TO which

10 be hoped that those who suffer in this
