To them, therefore, the vast and rie

"so6er second thought' of the industriou

.. III the rear OF these grand divisions
andpressing TO the same point, we fin,
Inpumerable tribes composed Of smaIleI
men. Among the most active aud DOW
erful are the, contractors--particHlarI,
the mail contractors. These men have
rendered immense service 10 the cause
OF Federalism and lavished their means
prOdigally. Thay cannot brook DELAY ia
receiving recompense. The Post Office
department has limited its service TO the
income, and the contractors are held TO
the strictest performance, at the rates of
The lowest bids according to law. This
system, Notwithstanding all the combina.
tons to eXtort, keeps The expense at a
fair average, and noU within the Depart
ment's means. This does not admit of
the brilliant rewards which the zeal and
liberaIiiy lately exhibited by them in the
cause of Federalism deserves. Tbey
will not be coliented with it. There
must be extensions under existing con-
tracts, and double pay on them, TO make
up for hard bargains. The Pipelayer
General must give the rein to the old con-
tractors competitors must be ruled off
the track, and large and princeIy dona-
tlves granted, in the shape Of allowances
for Increased services, to reward those
faithful veterans. The resources of the
Department will never supply emolu-
ments adequate TO the deserts oftnis fy-
ing corps of ch4noteers, who have done
so much in the late fight for the Federal
party. We predict--and we hope the
country will mark the predictOn-that
his grea: body OF powerful eleCtiOueer-
ers will be billeted upon the Treasury of
he nation, instead of that Of the Depart.
nent. A tax will be levied on the peo.
ne TO pay the contractors; that on let. |
ers and newspapers, which has hitherto |
ufficed, will no longer satisfy the claims
It those who carry Them. And these
men will press for an extra session, 10 le-
y taxes TO fill the Treasury!
d Next TO these clamorous drivers who
will hasten the movements of the Gov.
rnment with the crack eff whip, will come
he body of Office seekers--outfits for
ew ministers abroad--new offices for
uch applicants as vacancies cannot be
lade 10 provide for--increase of salaries
'r such as cannot take the smaller ap.
unless raised 10 a level with
1eir dignity. This great horde of ex-
ectant partisans must be gratified to be
stained, and will add very lively inter
st to urge on the extra session, which
