The late Assistant Post Master General,
Mr. w. J. BEowN, was removed from
Office by the present Wing Administration.
and many tears were shed, and loud Ia
mentations made by the Locosocos at his
removal. The following letter from this
I.ocoloco oiliccholdcr, exhibits in bold re-
lief genuine Locofocoism.

the administration can farther refuse to act
in these cases. without subjecting it to the
charge Of lendin. its influence to defeat

were loudcst in dem lndin. the practica al
application Of this rule, are now the most
boisterous in their dcnunciations of the
Administration, because il has turned out
few men who used their official inllu-
ence for party Purposes!-Cin.G Gazette.

the train and making many inquiries. we
asked the old gentleman what use there
