SEVERE BUT TRUE-The following remarks of
the Charleston Courier in reference to the present
management of the American Postoffie, are not
more severe than true:
The Mail Derdngenent-The enterprise of the
Postmaster Generals Department is now most strik-
ingly developed Beaten in all quarters, North,
South, East and West, although with railroads and
steamboats, threading and crossing the country at
every point, afording facilities which if taken ad
vantage of could not be possibly headed, It's slow
machinery numbers along with snail-like progress
and in many cases even matters are worse than
they were years ago, before there was such speedy
communication throughout the country.
To add to the evil Of suggishness on the part OF
The head of the Department, we find, as will al
ways be the case where remissness is discovered in
the controlling power, the Subs in many parts of
country are grossly negectfnl of their duties Pa
pers, letters and periodicals, weeks behind their
time, now reach their owners, and no redress can
be had. No attention is paid to the frequent COM
plants which these abuses draw forth from the out
ragged public.
Mails are allowed to remain MANY hours at GER
tam points, while conveyance after conveyance is
passing on from one city to the other with news
papers and letters and packages, for which the
government receives no pay, far ahead of the
United States Mail, which the writers and pub-
fishers would be glad to make use of could il he rot

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1s4s.

THE CIMpAIGN.-To-day, in all probability, the
name of the candidate selected by the Democratc
Convention, for the support of the party which 1t
represents will be announced in our city. Who
ever that candidate may be, it is almost certain
that in this State he will receive the undivided
support of his party. Those divisions which
have threatened the great Democratic party in
the State of New York, with disruption, disas-
ter, and defeat do not exist here neither radical
barnburnerism, or conservative hunkerism, finds
favor among our Democratic fellow-citizens; but
all seem determined to support the nominee of the
convention. In a few Weeks more the Wing Con-
venon will also have selected the leader who is to
bear their banner to victory or defeat. Then the
forces on each side will be mashalIed the speeches
prepared, and the contest commenced, and the sur
plus enthusiasm engendered in the popular mind
during the last four years. will have opportunity
TO escape. We look forward with great interest to
the opening of the campaign, anticipating as we do,
a desperate and obstinately contested fight. Did
we not think it superfuous, we would advise the
politicians to rewrte their speeches, recommit them
To memory, and prepare to redeiver them; this
however will all be done without our Intervention
