THE DEAD LETTER OrrIcE.-The Bal.
timore Sun gives rather an interesting 40.
count of what is called the Dead Letter
Office at Washington. We make short
extract from that Journal;
There were received during the quar-.
ter ending September 30, $4,47O. In
every case where money, good or bad, or
other valuab'es, is found In letters, Il is
carefully re-enclosed, and sent to the post
master Of the place whence it was trans
mitted, with directions to that officer to
use every effort in finding The writer Of the
letter, to whom he should deliver ii, and
obtain receipt. In this way, about nine
tenths Of the amount reverts annually to
the owners. Ifthe owner cannot be found
within forty days, il is again returnend to
the Department, where it remains sub
iect to the order Of the owner at any -,,n.
sequent period.
The number Of letters r.u,rned during
the year is immensa--some,;mes re.ch;ne
to over 6oo.G .Goe.. The transportation b
these tD'lc-ss through the malls adds much
to tie business Of the Department, but
~-,ot to its reccipts-which il rather d.
minishes to the amount Of the cost ofad-
vertising and the commissions allowed the
deputy postmasters.

Louisiana.

Although the precise majority has not
yet been ascertained in this State. no doubt
remains Of its having gone for Mr.. Polk.
Tie whig papers give it up. senator
Barrow's attempt to frighten the sugar
planters into the belief that the annexa-
ton Of Texas would SO depreciate the val
ue Of their lands as to render them value
less seems not to have had the intended
effect. He should ROW resign his seat,
and give place to some one more willing
than himself to carry out the wishes ofhis
constituents.

On Wednesday nsat, Ae democrats Of
Burlington and vicinity will eeaebrae The
magnificent victory which has just crown
ed the efforts Of their political brethren in
the States-the election Of Polk and Dallas
BY majority Of $1,000 over Clay and
Frelinghuysen-in manner deemed by
them TO be most appropriate. A free din
ner will be served up 4 3 O'Clock, in the
new packing hoase Of E. D. Rand 4 Co.,
west Of the town, upon table sufficient to
accommodate several hundred. AT night
there is to be procession Of torch lights,
transparencies, &C., with rockets and fire
, wor Ks to match. But little time has Teen
devoted to getting up the celebration, but
from the active manner in which many
have engaged in it we feel every assurance
tsat il viii go of well, and 10 the satiss:.c-
! tion Of our friends.
A general invitation to attend the cele-
bration is extended 10 the people Of Des
Moines and the surrounding counties.

The "Star in the East shines out with
additional lustre. The returns, as FAR as
they have been received, show heavy in
crease upon the democratic vote Of No
vember, when our majority was near
1000. Polk's majority over Clay in the
State will be very heayy-according to !
Portland correspondent Of the Boston Post,
from II, 600 to $1,000. This is unexpsct-
ealy large. and more than offsets the in
creased whig majority in Massachusetts,,
as compared with our calculation Of last
week respecting the popular vote. We
still believe it will be in favor Of Mr..
Folk by al least $4,000

The Cabinet.

Speculation is already afoat as to the
persons Mr.. Polk will call about Linn as his
cabinet officers. OF course all is vet sur
mise. and without authority. With the
brightest intellects in America to select
from, the President can experience no diff
fculty in choosing his constitutional ad-
visers. There is no station under the
government which could not be safely en-
trusted to the ability and patriotism Of a
Calhoun, Cass, Buchanan, Benton, a
Wright, 2 Bancroft, an Ingersoll, Walker,
9 Butler, &c. .n

At a meeting Of the democratic citizens
Of Burlington and vicinity, held at the
Count Room on the evening of Wednes-
day, the Path inst. for the purpose Of ma
king the n sessary arrangements, appro-
priately to celebrate the glorious termina-
ton of the Presidential election-LuKE
PALMER was called to the chair, and Hdr-
Uey Ray. Jr. appointed Secretary.
On motion committee, consisting Of
Messrs. w. F. Coolbaugh, F. d. Mills
and james Clarke, was appointed to re-
port resolutions for the action of the meet
ing. The committee submitted the follow
ing which were adopted:
Whereas, We, the democratic citizens a
Burlington, consider that the recent bril-
liant triumph of the democratic partv Of
the United States over the combined forces
Of wings, abohtionists and Native Ameri-
cans, is an event fraught with the deepest
interest to the welfare and prosperity oi
the republican institutions Of our country.
and calculated to inspire the most eratifv-
ing feelings in the bosom Of every lover
Of human liberty: And whereas, we be-
lieve that the election Of JAMEs X. PoIx
and GEo. M. Dallas to the Presidency
and Vice Presidency Of the United States.
BY majority Of near $4,000 Of the sover.
eign people, notwithstanding the Immense
amount of money profusely squandered BY
the whig party, and their sneering allu-
sions to The weakness and obscurity Of cur
candidates, conslusively and irrevocahly
