TER GENERAL.

Eh ZEN EhAL.
Since President Tyler called this distinguished Re-
publican into his Cabinet to preside over the Post
Office Department, we have carefully and closely
| scanned his public acts and conduct, and confess
that most heartily approve OF the course hitherto
pursued by this worthy officer. The duties pertain
ing to the Office Of Post Master General are most
undoubtedly more multifarious, intricate and impor
tant than those of any other branch Of National
Government, when we reflect that the care of about
400 Post Offices under his general superintendent
that the giving of the very contracts for
carrying the mails, &c. SC, all deyolve upon him.
But Notwithstanding his station is aborious and
responsible one, Mr.. WiekiGe does it full Justice
He is emphatically business man, uniting untir-
ing industry and perseverance. lie takes off his
coat and goes to work himself, knowing that it il
then well done. During the short period Gov. w
has been at the head Of the z. o. Department, he
has introduced salutary improvements and reforms
curaled expenses and increased mail facilities. HIS
sole object is to accommodate the public, strictly to
enforce the existing laws of the r. .. Department,
and to discharge his duties with mpartality and f.
deity regardless Of denunciations from any quarter
Fathess and in efficient equities find grace with
him. They have TO walk the plank" v,ry quick
Deauiiers ditto. appeals to party avsileh nothing
with him.
The Pos, Offices of our country were probably
never better organized than now, and always will
remain a long the present talented and eff
cient public servant will be the chef Of this mpor-
tant branch Of the public service He is deservedly
of the most popular men that ever presided over
the P. o. Department Although coming in Office
at a time when the Department was deeply in debt,
and having to encounter thousands of other difficult
ties, we believe the day is not far remote when he
will restore the financial condition Of the Department
to its once aourishing state during the days Of John
Milan.
