THE MAILS! THE MAILS!

all order was obtained from the Post Office De-
parment, requiring the Boston mail TO be brought

ment was persisted in for two or three-days
when, behold, the New Hampshire contractor re-
turned to his old arrangement and the Vermont
contractor adhered to the new. Thus there was
no connection between them, and the consequence
was that the Boston mail was three days in arri.
wing here, instead of two. This happened just ut
the time when the public were most anxious to
hear election results, and was Of course exceed
ingly vexatious. Now,by actual experiment of
TWO or three days, it is settled that the mail
can he brought, via Concord, To lie in at or
8 p. m instead of Ii or l2. The great trouble
we suspect, is with the Concord ninl proprietor
and the first remedy is this: let our citizens. aud
all who sympalhize with us in this matter, quiz
that route entirely, and take different in their
travels. If Concord folks will detau our letters
let us say that they shall not have our company

the mail brought by another route. If both fail
let us wait for old Tips coming If he don't give
