"PoST OFFICE REFORM"

From certain indications, we should NOT be

TER GENERAL, in compliance with the law on
The subject, and that its violation should no
longer affect the revenue of the Department,
has endeavored to remedy the evil, those press

Post Office system. They have even gone so
far as 10 demand that the official documents of
the Government shall be charged with postage,
and that the ranking privilege OF members of
Congress, and Postmasters, shall be abolished
These reforms, they say, will enable the Gov
eminent 10 "reduce the rates Of postage" al

Well, if we mistake not, the sincerity of
these clamorous editors is about TO be tested
IL is pity there are not more than thirty or
forty of them, for the credit of the counry--pro-
vided they do not "hinch."
There are about 1000 newspapers and period
icals published in The United States. Let us
suppose that they are all in favor of the called

the frarklng privilege" and the "radcal re-

gets his exchange papers free, and the Post

not be more than $250-yet the camorous and
patriotic editors will generously contribute 10

1t must have been pure patriotism that raised
the clamor among the editors, for they have
been truly favored tribe. No class of men in
the country ever enjoyed such privileges, and
they should have been the last TO comslsin of
trivial vexations, and 10 demand the abolition of
the ranking privilege enjoyed by members Of
Congress. But, if it should turn out that they
are not pafriots-then they will be frogs. If
we mistake moi, their prayer is about TO be

1t is not Superstition.

II is not superstition to believe that "ihere is
divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them
how we will" Nor is it superstitous to belleVe
that "the way of the transgressOr ishdrd." 1here
never was greater apparent manifestation OF
the disbelief i'll retrbutve justice, than the wings
exhibited in their electioneering deceptlons ana
Idebaucheres, in 1910. Their coon skins, their
banners, their blowing hot and cold on the Bank
and Tariff questions their innumerable false Is
sues, their songs and cider barrels andlog cabins'
and false and double voting all combined to
distinguish their authors, for the time being, as
emphatcally saying in their hearts, 'there IS no
God.'' Their conduct showed them to be de-
mented, and practical atheists, whatever might
have been their abstract opinions, in their Sooer
movements Let any believer in an overulng
and lust Providence, look at the works OF the
wings in 1910, and then at the fruits OF their
works, and say if he does not see in the end
| lust punishment for the beginning
Well was it said at the time of Harrison's in
auguration, that the falling down of the eagle at
the Capitol, was ominouS. Harrison died; and
TYLER refused to countenance their infamous pro-
iect for mammoth National Bank of fifty mil
lions of capital. Houghton and Ogle, the one
having been the most reckless of the hard cider
editors, and the other of the hard cider mem"
bers ofCongress, are dead. Indeed a very large
number of the most reckless leaders in the de-
baucheries of 1910, are no more. Legare, Up
shur, and Glmer, all estimablc men, and faith
full public officers, have been cut down in the
midst oflife and usefulness; and Spencer has
been robbed of his offspring by the most terrible
means! With such fearful examples before us,
shall we see the follies of 1910 acted over again,
| in 1874?

Clay Hostility to Foreigners.

The Albany Argus, TO expose the hypocritical
cant ofthe federslists in favor of foreigners just
as they want their votes, brings up to their judg-
ment the following resolution, passed at coon
meeting in that city, some time since.
"ResolDed, that the county of Albany is deci-
dedly a whig county, and would SO manifest IL
self at the annual elections, if the NATIVE IN
HABITANTS were not oyerpowered by the
HORDES OF FOREIGNERS who, brought
up as SLAVES in their own country, KNOW
NOT THE FEELINGS AND DUTIES OF
FREEMEN in this"

Mr.. BartEey--sflOrt biography.

The Mansfield Shield and Banner thus Sums
up in short, the political career of the man whom
the whig partizans have palmed upon their party
as candidate for Governor:
"In 1924, he was our Representative, and
was instructed and pledged himself to go for
Jackson in preference to Adams, and directly
contrary to the will Of his constituents fairly
expressed, he did vote for j. @. Adams, as we
suppose, inAuencedby the intrigue ofHenry Clay,
of bargain and sale memory, who yet lives, and
liko..Mr Bartley,s is doomed by the voice of an
indignant and abused democratic people, who
will never elevate either above the rank OF pri-
vate individuals.
"Thts same nominee after he had abused the
confidence of the democratic family of Ohio, re-
turned to our county of Richland, with saddle
bags loaded with coffin hand bills to traduce the
character of Andrew jackson, and used TO his
utmost endeavors to circulate the same, which
fact is known to many prominent citizens Of this
county and the several adjoining counties, and
can be proved by living witnesses. The hero
Iof New Orleans has survived this SANDER, and
wears the laurel of his counlry's honor"

To ne Editor Of6e Scntiael:

SIR-I was present at the annual contest be-
tween the Literary societies of Franklin college,
which came off on last Wednesday night. The
performances were excellent, and would do hon
or TO any institution in our country. The origi-
nal speeches both in composition and delivery,
were hard to beat; and we have rarely ever lis
tened TO performances ofa similar character with
as much pleasure and interest as we did to these.
The question for debate was on subject much
agitated in our country at this time. Is pro-
tective tariff conducive to the true interest OF
our country? These as near aswe can recollect,
were the words Of the question The question
was ably handled on both sides; but the negdtire
was sustained by Mr.. Fowler, in speech OF two
hours length, which exhibited the most profound'
researches, logical reasonings and complete mas
terry of his subject His debate was astrong ar
ray of unanswerable arguments against the re-
strctive system. We would be glad if every
whig and democrat in our county could have
an opportunity Of fhearing debate equal to this,
on the subject ofthe Tariff. 1t would do to open
the eyes of the people TO the odlous and unjust
exactons which this policy extorts from one class
to benefit another.
We would commend this institution TO the ia
vorabe notice of all who wish to obtain collie
giate education. 1t is now under the direction
of able and energetic professors, and the number
of students in attendance, is increasing at the re-
turn of every session, 1t bids fair to be what in
former days it has been the alma mater of many
profound and finished scholar.
