las agriend Of the Administration to give
a true statement Of the facts in relation to-
this matter.
l am informed by the postmaster Of this
place, that he was ordered by the post;
master general to take possession Of the
locks, keys, &c. belonging to the post
office At Black Hawk, giving at the time
las reason that the postmaster at Black
Hack had never executed his official bond
|to the Post Office Department, although
1.-THE Office had been established some two
years.
4 am also informed that there never have
been any regular returns made 10 the Post
Office Department by the postmaster at
Black Hawk.
1 Think these reasons will convince any
unprejudiced mind, that the Postmaster
General acted as he should have done IN
disseminating the post Office at Black
Hawk.
think Mr.. E. the last man who should
have complained, as he IS equally as con-
|yenient 70 the post Office ~ this place as
Black Hawk.
And as for the post Office being discon-
liinned al Black Hawk on account Of the
|Whiggish principles Of the postmasteryi it

CANE CREEK WING MEETING.

CANE CREEK WING MEETING.
After few days notice. respectable
number Of the citizens on the south side
Of Orange county, convened at the Cane
Greek Cotton Factory, on Friday the
18th inst. On motion Of Solomon Al
len, Mr.. Peter Foust was called TO pre-
side, and John X. Holt, esq. appointed
secretary. By request, John Stafford,
esq. introduced the following resolutions
for the consideration Of The meeting:
Rtsoired, That although we entertain
for our late representative in Congress.
as fellow citizen, sentiments of person
al respect; yet as a politician and repre-
sentative, We object to the principles
both of him and Of" the party" TO which
he belongs, throughout: we have no con-
fdence in the establishment Of the lnde-
pendent Treasury. either as a fiscal agent
Of the government, or as fountain and
source Of sound and wholesome cur
rency; and will therefore reject. with
that firmness aud decision which becomes
freemen, any a,tcmp, TO force it upon the
country.
Resoiped further, that we oppose DR..
Montgomery and his party, because they
advocate the right of instruction when it
suits their purpose Of obtaining power,
and reject it when they are likely to be
looseTs, as in the case of Messrs. Brown
and Strange, our Senators in Congress.
Resoirsd further, That, entertaining
these sentiments, we will use every no.
nest endeayor to promote the election Of
any respectable Wing candidate that may
come out in opposition to DIR. 'Monlgo-
merry.
RESOLVED, That a committee of three
be appointed as delegates to represent
this meeting in the convention TO be held
at Hillsborough on the 3lst inst. to con-
fer in the choice of suitable candidate
10 represent us for the next term i'll the
Congress of the United States.
These resolutions were passed with
out dissenting voice; afterwards Messrs.
John Dixon, John Stafford and John X.
Holt, were chosen TO compose the COM
mitiee of delegation. The Secretary was
requested to prepare the proceedings Of
the meeting, and transmit them TO the
editor of the HilIsborough Recorder,
with a request that they be published.
After an expression of thanks 10 the Off.
GERS, the meeting adjourned TO the End
Thursday in August.
