Postmaster General would turn Ri, ,o.
the subject-No,hing however, as "a,
learn has yet been done. The mex, ,Ai 10
exPect to hear 10, that some of Oh, .,h wv
in that quarter will discontinue ,hsi, NV
These are cases affecting ourselves Ha p'p'
throughout the country have been no,.
ously injured than we have or can b. s
We would ask Mr.. Barry if eirevn.,,
like these are not calculated to d,u,o.
confidence Of the people 10 the Pos, os. y =
parsment' And does he think he i, do;, q
'ice TO his own character, or to the iu,e,, sN
convenience OF the people, when he sus,,, -.
gross abuses to pass by uRno,iceJ!
lfit is Mr.. Barry's intention 10. On h.
hand with some other members Of n. u
in the prosecution Of a. ,yrannical
injustice and oppression as any people D,,,'
sing 10 be free ever suffered, le, him ,r rsa
that we may know how 10 regard hi,
him not give coun'enance to reports uh;,,
guiss his real sen'imsn's-which Sc, him.|
as o'''s party when he is, in reality, Sun, ~,
into us mire.
We can assure the Postmaster Gsopr,,,,
the plaster Of his quondam friend H.. - w.
men' Printer, cen do him no good H..
MCLEAN was iauded and praised by hi, ~
person too, as long as he was though, NJ ]
I" the party: But now lha, h. h.,
his politics were no, VI sordid Or mar.
cas'-tha, the :rammcs of The par.v we,. -.
thrown as tightly round him as ,hev ;r,o,.,
how changed the tone Of the OfSei,, pr,
How cold are his compliments! how ,v =.
i'nuendoes! how open in their attack, H..
who have taken the cue from him.
Mr.. Barry knows well tina, already ,le,, l..
been manifest change in public seD,jm,,,
relation to the Post Office Department y,
knows that the people are now alway, r.,.t'
Of imposition and ex,orlion. There i, ro,.
that reliance upon the integrity and good Ii,
OF the Department which was every whsp,
pressed under Judge McLrax's adminis,,i.
OF lis affairs. Can Mr.. Barry b, ignor.n :,
the cause Of this! Can he be so blind a, NJ, j,
perceive that the people fear the DeDsun,,
is about TO be organized into a vast poli,y
Government engine, and its power directed :,
the support alone Of those who direc, its one,
tions!
We do believe that Mr.. Barry has beea B.
cei.ed. We do not, after entertaining fave
able opinions, wish TO think harshy Of BIZ,
Blu, he may rest assured, that il he con,invu !,
identify himself with the mos, odious m.,..,
Of the Cabinet, he will share the ultimate IN,
Of Mr.. Ingham, and the other most ,'re,.x
advocates Of prescription for opinions .,S.
In the remarks we have made we h,, %,
fined ourselves exclusively to two cases .hs
more Immediately interest ourselves TAn
are numerous other causes of complain, ru
toned in the public prints, which require CT,
rection.
II Mr.. Barry were to follow wha, we sItc
his judgment and good sense dictate, u,tha
he would rival his predecessor in popuIarip-
There 10 wide field before him, in whicd b
might gather golden opinions from met
all parties. There is no reason why he ,h,ss
bow his neck to the dicta,ion Of others l.
him &C, for himself, or like Judge McLs,n!
Office is 10 be retained at the expense Of icts
pendence and magnaniinity, lei him .hroEaf
TO those who would insis, upon such dtsrt
ing terms, sad our lives for il, he wOUll
fully recompensed by the favor and gr4'i':"
of generous people.
The following case for " the opinion Of COW:
