certain Wing leaders attempting to make

writer says certain "Whig leaders" waited on

THE FRUITS OF FRANK GRANGER'S

We saw in several papers notice Of the--
detection of The Postmaster at Londonderry,
Ohio, 10 robbing the mail. The CadIs Senli-
mel developes some vhiggery in the matter
the glorious effects Of the change so much de-
sired, and The meaning Ofthe promises ofthe
.'two dollars q day and roast beef" From
the long and continual outCry Of the non-ar-
rival Of our paper beyond this Office, leaves
not a doubt but that this pet Of whiggery des-

A FEDERAL PosTMAsT'EE IN EniBo. Some
weeks ago, the iedelal Postmaster. at Lon
donderry, Guernsey county, Ohio; was char-
ged with rifing The mail Of $l55, belonging 10
The Hon. Daniel Kigore Of this place, and ex-
amined upon said charge before Judge Leav-
III, Of Steubenvile, who bound him over for
his appearance al the next term Of the United
States Court, 10 be held atColumbus. Upon
his failing to 6nd bail, he was committed to
jail 10 await his trial. From all The Citcuti-
stances in the case, there can be no doubt Of
his guili. II is not the first time he has been
suspected for opening letters. Some three
years ago, before he was turned out by Amos
Kendall, Mr.. Thomas Nickael charged him
with opening large letter, but which happen.
ed 10 contain no money, for which he sued
him and recovered 25 dollars. About the
same time William Nickae, son Of TAOm'
as Nlckael, was sued for making the same
charge, and ined only 6 cents, which he paid
Ofrwith Benton mint drop. Shortly alter
this, and upon Misrepresentation Of fthe9 facts
in the case, Amos Kendall made him walk
the plank, and put an honest manin his place.
But W hen federalism got the ascendency, the
honest democrat was turned out tos make
room for the federal partiEan who is now Lea-

CORWIN BEFORE TIE PEOPLE

CORWIN BEFORE TIE PEOPLE.
WeTealy cannot CINE more painful or
humilatug position 10 be placed in before the \
people, than that at present occupied by the
federal candidate for Governor. How a man
who had not the moral courage and the
political firmness 10 stand by his principles,
and 10 resist the oyertures Of Alfred Kelley
and his gang Of parasites, 10 become the cans
didate Of The party, contrary TO all bis former
assurances and professioDs-how such man
can have the audacity and the effronery 10
meet the people, is more than we are able TO
account for. How can he explain 10 them his
deserlion Of the one term principle, under
which he pledged himself no. 10 be a cand-
date? What has become Of his holy and pa
triotIc horror Of the Interference of Offices
holders in political discussions, and in the
elections Of the peoplel But the fact is, that
Corwln feels, and deeply feels, that he has
been guilty Of shameful disregard of all his
former professions, and that he now stands
before the observing men Of Ohio, degrad-
eG hireng Of The bank junto Of the SlaiO, by
whom, and as their last hope, he has been
forced into the contest. And his contempt for
The general intelligence, and for the virtue and
the honesty Of the people, which is the pre-
vailng sentiment Of the aristocralic leaders
of the federal party, must be his excuse for
appearing before them again as the apoogist
aud defender Of wkig. bank oppression, and Of
whig bank oppression, and of whig treach~
cry and treason 10 the State. Had he any
confidence in the integrity Of the psople-Had
he any confidence in The integrity Of the peo-
ple--did he believe .hem TO be intelligent or
capable of e!f-goverument-wa he aware
how closely they have been comparing actions
with professions, and results with promises,
we believe he would shrink abashed from the
performance Of the humilia,ing duties impos>
ed upon him by the broken down bank faction
of which he is the choice, and Of which he is
doomed 10 be the victim. Is
We understand lha, his great aim is now 10
induce the people 10 believe that he is govern
ed only by the purest principles Of patriotism!
An ardent love Of country has brought him
again into the field, and most dsinierested
desire to be Of service to HE fellow-cItiZens,
has moved him 10 accept of the nomination
made by Alfred Kelley, Thomas Ewing, and
few more such artstocrats and bankers. Pa

7, John Adams's Reason. The leader Of the
Wings in the House Of Representatives, says
10 bis report that Mr.. Tyler will.not be inn
peached, because i. is doubtful whether an
impe eachment could be sustained. On this
singular position, the Pennsylvania periDent-
ly remarks: "The reason which Mr.. Adams
gives for not impeaobing Mr.. Tyler, is far
from an honest one. It's though that he is
guilty, he fears he would moi be condemned.
He has 90 right under his oath Of office to act
upon such presumption. If he thinks him
guilty, il is his duty to indict him and leave
the Senate 10 do it's duty or not, as The result
should prove, instead Of assuming that il would
not do it.

A STRAY LEAF FROM THE LIFE OF MCDoN-
AID CLAhKE..-The following is from New
York paper What life is poets! We
hope some Of our poetical correspondents will
take warning by this:
when Byron was in the hey-day Of his ca
reer, Clarke was among the most ardent OF his
admirers, and, as he supposed, of his lmita-
tors. He conceived that their minds had been
cas-, in the same mould-and not knowing that
he was crazy, he supposed that his own mood
mess was necessasly like that Of Byron
Pictures Of Byron. with open collar and mas
sy locks, were then in the print shops, and
Clarke -sedulously copied his air and costume.
Byron married and abused his wife. Clarke. 10
extend the parallel, did the same IN both re-
spects. He married Miss Brundage. then
poor actress on the boarde OF the P'rke-treat-
ed her badly, in the same manner II was re-
ported that Byron had treated his wite-and,
like the noble bard and his wife also parted.
Yet we could never see the least evidence
Of III temper, or cruel disposition, on the part
of Clarke. On the contrary, his bosom has
appeared the abode of great natural kindness
and good feeling. True he has been wander
ing up and down our streets, solitary ana a.
lone among the million, with an apParens
cloud upon his brow, and always aversing ms
eve, even from tnOSe WHO Aue" "in-"os ~
though he disliked them, but as though no
was apprehens;ve they might prefer not to re-
ceive his recognition.
But speak TO him in the voice Of kindness:
and his eve kindled at once, and his face would
instantly glow with pleasure, exhibiting sort
of compound expression ofsurprise aud delight.
In regard 10 his wife, even after their sePsra-
ton, he has spoken of her to US in the kindest
terms, and recalled circumstances Of touching
interest, beautifully illustrating the strength
Of woman's love. He was at that time exc
ceedingly poor--so poor, that at times ne lad
no place to lay his head, or crust 70 aPPease
his hunger. He then slept wherever ne could

JOH NE AL :

Two 81 three Of the most efficient men ever
sent to Congress, were observation-disclosures Of
Massachusetts and Smith Of Maryland. They
were not long takers; they did not 60 there TO
make speeches for the newspapers-nor TO
earn their living by the gift of the CAB. You
will not be able to hire them at six dollars a
day, 10 argue week in and week out for six
months together, about the relationship of the
hypothenuse Of a risht-angle triangle, to the
distance between time and space. In word.
they are not lawyers, and what is yet worse.
young lawyers. But why are there no mechan-
les in Congress !-why so few, If any, in our
State Legislature Or in other words, why
are not the sons of our merchants, and shop
keepers, and mechanics SO educated, as to be
able to govern themselves without employing
other boys who are good for nothing but to
make speeches in debating society; or to
play cards night after night the whole season
through at their boarding house! We are no
Jewellers, we say again. We acknowledge
that men Of cultivated minds cannot be made
to associate freely and continually with the
uneducated and semi-barbarious: but they need
not be, and should not be, especially in our
government, separated and set apart from them
as they are. 1t would be better for all, if they
were thrown more together; and We see no
reason on earth why mechanics, or the chill
dren Of mechanics should be allowed to feel
that they who do nothing for their bread and
who would become the paupers Of neighbor-
hood, if they were not the paupers of a family
or that they who live by the misfortunes or
diseases of society, like professional men
Chose moral barometers, whereby the un-
healthnes of the country is so faithfully indi
cated)-we do not see any reason on earth, we
say, why mechanics should feel any particu-
lar Difference for such people; nor why they
should consent to belong to an inferior class of
society. Let them educate themselves and
their children, and they will be before another
generation is over, what they might have been
half a century ago-the first because the most
useful class Of our country.--Portland Tribune.
