In late number of the Globe is pompousIv
Paraued, correspondence between citizen of
louisiana, and the Post Master General OIL tho
subject OF daily mail to New Orleans 80 8.
The Globe introduces it, with n eontrastcd v;ey,
OF the TING formerly required for conveyng the
mail from Washington to New Orleans, and the
'imc ut present occupied; the manifold ADVANTAGES
which Louisiana has already rcaped from the no
tual direction of the Post Office Department: ard
hnaliy, takes occasion to commend the zeal of that
gentsemun, IN the service of his fellow citizens
whose potent influence with the Post Master Cen
eral, has procured for New Orleans, such mighty
boon as the d:ilv mail which is promised.
To find fault with this correspondence or the
manner in which it is introduced to the public might
appear to he the offspring of sheer captiousness.
were not sinister object in the authors and nub
the parties.
A word or two will be sufficient to explain tho
whole proceeding.
The gentleman whose zeal is so much commend
cd by the Globe, is candidate for the seat in the
Senate of the United States, made vacant nv the
resignation of Dir. Livingston of La He is n
brother-n-iaw of Mr.. Livingston, and happened
lDy pure accident, no doubt,) to be paying him
visit at the seat of government, n few DAYS since
such n correspondence was thought of as n very
happy means OF recommending this gentleman to
his fellow citizens of Louisiana, and to ensure the
success OF h's election. 1t is accordingly prepar-
ed. Mr. Carleton asks for the daily mail, and Mr.
Barry graclously accords it, for what could he re-
fuse to the brothcr-in-law of Mr. Livingston? Tho
Globe publishes the correspondence for the use of
Its coadJutors ut New Orleans, who will vuunt Mr.
Carleton's zeal and influence to the skies and in

The writer of this article fully appreciates the
Importance of daily mail to the city of New Or

commerce is subjected, by reason of the present
inadequate Geans of communication with the
northern and easterff cities He believes thai the
Importance Of ,the great coastwsc mail route TO
the public generally, well as the cmount Of rev.
enue which it has produced 10 The post Office de-
Partmont, long SINCE justified the extension of
daily mail to Mobile and New Orleans; and tia.
lar from having any cause TO thank the Post Mas
ter General, those towns have had great reason to
complain that privilege TO which they were Justly
entitled, has been withheld so long. From what he
knows OF the sentiments of the people of I.ouisi
ana nc cannot persuade himself that they will be
disposed to elect jackson Senator, however ac-
cePtable it might be to Mr. Barry, at the present
Juncture. They feel very DESTROYS that an invcs
tgation in relation to his department, commenced
last winter, should be prosecuted to final termi
nation, and be ultimately submitted to the decision
of impartial Judges.
