Postmasters and MI Contrnrinra.

PostmaSterS and Mail Contractors.
The following CIRCULAR has been addressed
by order Of the Postmaster General to the
several dellnquents throughout the United
States The deficiency exhibited in the last
quarters expenses seem To demand a reform
and we hope Mr. M'Lean will exercise Thar
energy which he says is necessary 10 sectifk
the important object of the establishment
General Poat Office, July I, t823. 1
The Postmaster General has observed thai
some OF the contractors for The conveyance OF
the mall seem to be Indifferent as well to the
MANNER in which the Mail is conveyed, AS to-
the TIME in which il is delivered. Where the
mail 10 carried on horseback, the obligation
IS positive that it shall be covered, SO as 10
protect Ut from the weatber-where It il cUn-,
reyed in carriage, the obligation is euiallt
positive, that it shall be kept under cover,
In consequence of the repeated vielaiiuhs
ct the above obligations, the Postmaster
Generag gives notice, that in every instance,
~ winch the contractor shall fail To convey
the mail under cover, as the terms nf his con-
tract require. or shall fail in delivering il al the
time directed, fine snail be assessed, which
shall only he RENTED, on showing that the
omission did not proceed from nrgiSence.--
And il this remedy should prove Intellectual
the conveyance will be placed in other hands,
Many Of the complaints which are so re-
peatedy made against the Post Office Depart
ment, arise from the negligence of the Post
masters-noice is therefore given, that these,
complaints shall DE STRICTLY attended to, and
the proper remedy applied. II is particularly
ehloined on those who have the care Of His
tributing Offices, that they employ in their re-.
spec!ive Offices. only such clerks as are entirely
competent. Letters are mis-seut frequently
by those employed in distributing Offices who
are not sufficiently acquainted with the Geo
graPhy of the country, to give the proper
direction TO the different letters.
For years past, the monies realized by the
General Post Office, have heen less than ts
expenditures. The quarter ending on the
3lst Of March last, let a deficiency Of near
forty thousand dollars, and 1t is believed
that there is deficiency equally as large !or.
the ensuing quarter. This evil Is rapidly
increasing, and must essentially impede the
operations Of the department, unless M eiiec
tual remedy be applied. The remedy car
DOLLY be found, by appropriations from The
Treasury, by restricting the traecl ofthe mail
or by inducing Postnasters 10 Be more pune.
