1t will be readily understood what is The motive
for selecting many PoStn0sters TO place on the
Jackson Committees These persons all have tho
privilege of Jranking. Blair sends for example
100 extra Globes to Punshon, his agent at Cincin
natl, TO any other of those electioneering Post
masters. He, The Postmaster, pays no postage
| BY his position in Post Office, he acquires an
extensive knowledge of names and addresses. al
through the country, and this knowledge enable,
him to distribute the extra Globe to the best adrian
toge, while the law entities him to frank the pack
age; so that those honored by him with selection
for the gratuitous Globe, also pay no postage. NJ
such favor of course, is youchsafcd to any print
opposed to Jackson. They who get them, mus
pay postage, and herein have disclosed the tru,
and undoubted reason, why the Jackson party ir
Congress refused to relieve newspapers of post
age-to such Il miserable standard of base calculn
ton, is the legislation of the country reduced, and
20 such degradation is the country itself subjected
| by Jaclsonism.
These abuses at any other Tins, would have
elected general indignation; but the of Jack
son "honors the corruption" and the voice of the
People is silent The history of the late and pre-
sent Administrations, has established this truth
that the character of an act in the eyes of the null
iitude is Of less consequence than the man who
does il; and that Jackson may s'stcal horse" with
more safety than Mr. Adams could ''look over the
hedge"
