The National Wing, which seems to be aborng under

the acts of the present administration right or wrong
and to euloglze all its MEMBERS whatever may be their

inquire OF that avoe and appropriate organ of the pres
ent ocdUe cabinet now ruling the country. in what
ner the Postmaster General is achieving for himself
such an honorable name in the country? Is it by
the tasteful and elegant speeches which he addresses
to the mail contractors' Or is it by his wholesale
decapitaton Of postmasters, whose heads he causes
to fall by scores and hundreds every day through

State in which he resided. And, although he was
member of the House of Repre- senatves for several years
he hardly ascended to mediocre position in that engh

We are therefore puzzled to know how he has sud-

speeches to contractors and his decaraon Of democrat
postmasters We think he has exhibited no partcd

with great zeal and vigor, if the manner in which
