organization is required. Laws. locks
and bolts, are the means used against
thieves-honest men require nothing
more than directive legislation. But ac-
cording to the Enquirer, all the roguery
which has existed in that Department
since Gen. Jackson came into the Presi-
dency has, it may be, arisen out of its
mal.organization. This is indeed, very
strange sort of apology for the roguery
Gifts occupants. In bearing away the
sins Of the Department, Mr.. Brown, has,
also, borne away a goodly portion of the
"spoils." This is admitted by the "Globe"
itself Yet the people are so bewildere6
with this Jacksonism, and Van Burenism,
as it is brought to bear upon their credu-
lily by the administration presses, that
they really cannot even dojustice to their
own understandings either in their ordi-
nary intercourse, or at the polls. To mis-
lead them from the true objects of inqui-
ry, constitutes the principal employment
ofsuch presses. Heretofore all the De-
partments have been generally filled with
honest men, and it is truly difficult for the
people to believe, that Gen. Jackson a.
lone would fill.any Department with men
so dishonest as those in the Post Office
are proved to be. ~
