the brain, from which emanate its will, and
from which it promulgates its laws. Ex-

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT

As the session OF Congress draws to lis close, the
letterwrirng corps at ashington become intensely
rabij. The following, taken from the New York
Sun, shows bow dreodiully the uerip.Obia is raging
among the most canine of the pack
Poor Postmaster Wicklfe is in great trouble. By
queer management, he is behindnand with b..
contrac ors near / alta million. The President says
he Is such blunderer tha, he won't help him, and
WckhiIe is enraged, demo Inces Mr.. Tyler, aud de-
clhres that he wiil resign The President has de-
clared that no hing will give him greater pleasure
Even MAJOR HobbIe now says that Mr.. w is by no
means efficient officer &c. &c. &.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. WicklifIe's administla.

for the promp.u de with which all i,s engagemen $
are met Instead Of being behindhand half mil
lion OF dollars 10 his contra y he is not in arrear
ON any acknowledged demand half cent. 1t is
also matter Of notorety, that between the President
and Mr.. Wicklds, the very best relations subsis OF
Confidence aud good willard that Mr.. Wickfe's
officers, particularly his experienced assistant, Major
Hobbie, named in the article entertain the highest
opinion of his energy and efficiencyas must all who
have had equal opportunity Of witnessing bis inces-
SAINT abors and able and successful despatch of bus
ness. The Postmaster General conforms his oflical
action to the laws regulating the Department.
The conductors of the Sun have played a conspic-
uous part, both in and out Of their columns in abct
ting and carrying on those violations OF the Post or
fee laws which prove so disastrous to the revenue Of
this important Del artment Of The Government Not.
withdrawing The licentous spirit and gross mm ray
exhibited IN these efforts TO set individual will and
interests above the law and the rights Of the public
they have nevertheless been highly incensed because
the patronage Of the Department they were endea,-
oring to destroy, has been refused them and because
the Postmaster General has e1eued himself as a
faithful officer TO thwart their lawess praetces.-
Hence their desire that Mr.. WickiIe should resign
hence the fahricaiions OF The mercenary pen about
unpaid contractors and dissatisfied associates in The
public service.

4 NOTABLE SCHEME

from the Southwest soreIy pressed by his eoostitu-
ents upon the Annrxstos OF Texas, has hit upon .
scheme which he viii promptly bring forth whereby
he hopes 20 satisfy the friends OF Texas home AID
at the time 81 his humble and unqualified
devotion 10 Mr. Clay. He will introduce resolu-
lion 10 favor Of Annexation aud the recognition OF
slavery The latter clause of course is designed 10
secure antisavery votes in opposition to the Annex
alton portion. Mr.. Clay will no. doubt, permit his
friends TO humbug the People at any and all tines
provided his interest il subseryed Himself great
humbugger OF himself (in eountenancing the rabid
Wing prnts) he can have no objection TO the high
honor of being the recognised leader of all the hum
Burgers in the land
N. b. There is one humbug, it 10 true, which can
not be attributed TO MIR Clay viz the selection of
champion by portion of the advocates of Annex
lion" whom they knew to be unable to effect any
thing towards the consummation of the measure.
