steps of General Cass, from this metropolis to his
able excitement. This day he leaves for Washing
ton, where he will remain till the middle of January.
His whole course will be watched with interest and
anxiety. The general result of all this agitation
will be the assumption, by the people, of their own
right to make presidential nominations Congress

Will ultimately do them incalcuable injury 1t is to
be rule-an inhexible decree, at Albany, that no
man shall receive Office in this State unless he
allow himself to be bound hand and foot in allie

be compelled to adopt this unjust and most suicidal
policy. This iniqutous attempt TO stihe public SEN

srossest desposm. and will prove, of course, most |

with such wide spread flame. |
SOMETHING Rotten IN THE Posi- OFFIcK The |
4" Madisonian'' informs us that two copies of the
Presidents Message were put up and addressed to |
the " New York Herald" and deposited in the Post
Office at Washington before the Express started for
this city on Wednesday of last week.
This settles the question in of its aspects The
then, rests with the Post Office de-
partment. The two copies of the Presidents Mes |
sage sent to us by the government express was,
then, stolen either in the New York Post Office or |
in the Washington Post Office Now, the Post
master and clerks of the New York office, and also
the express rider have declared that every package
that was sent from Washington to the New York pa
pers were delivered here to them respectively
This declaration throws the responsibility back on
the Washington Post Office, and indicates that our
property ,cas stolen by in the Post Office of
hat city.
We think IT is the duty of the Postmaster General
to look into this matter. Our packages of the Mes
sage have been teoniously stolen after being depo
:ited in the Post Office by the clerks OF the Madi-
'onan office, and according to the present state OF
facts, the inference is that ,cas stolen in the Wash
ington City Post Office.
Will the Madisonian please answer another ques-
lion : Do they send their daily paper now to us
We have not received copy for nearly a fortnight
past If they still send their paper, then probably
hat is also stolen daily in the same way
There is some mystery about these doings, which
we shall unravel before we get through There
