the fabric is wrought is SO discorian',

the extreme paris. Permit me then,
sir, to poin, to few, out Of the many
instances of bad management in the
trans portation ofthe mails in this state.
lst. You have weekly mail from Al
ton to Colesgrove, Pike county, return
ing by Carollton, Green county. Coles
grove, once the seat Of justice of Pike,
is place of little consequences, and |
question if three letters go there in each
mail on an average. From Carolkon
to the seat of Justice Of Pike, Morgan,
and Sangamo, there are mails once in two
weeks-let therefore the above route be
discontinued, and a weekly mail from
Edwardsville (where two newspapers
are published) to Carollton, Green conn-
ty, be substituted; from which place,
Pike, Morgan, and Sangamo counties
are supplied once in two weeks, as the
contracts now exist. Colesgrove may
also have branch from thence, should
it be deemed worthy OF it. Blu, to send
the mails destined for those four coun-
