Failures Of fhs Maiis.-It is with extreme regret that we have notice the continued failures of our papers to reach their destination through the mails. We confess ee. inability Co cersec; it. We believe there is systematic purpose 10 detan tbe Repub- Iican because the failures are us numerous upon those lines where We have ample time 10 make them up beioro the mail leaves, upon lines that leave at early hour in the morning II has sometimes happened, when our press was out of order, that we have been iu fault; bet for a month or more past nothing of this kind has occurred 10 delay our country paper. We have watched II wi;h degree oecoseness and care and attended to the hands who have charge of mailing il with an assiduity which leaves no room to doubt where the responsibility rests; but with all this poweTess 10 correct the ev It will be so, so long as men are eontinu- ed in office whose boast it is that the mail service Is now ln as bad condition as itwas under Cave John- son. At this writing, we have before us thirty-iouf letters, from every quarter of ihe compass, com pIaning of the nou-arriva of our paPer and hoti-
 lying us of the regular receipt of oher papers prin- ted n this city All these letters We have received within month many Of them within a few days As sample oi their con enis, ws give the follow ing. merely remarkiRg, that the same mail that brought similar complaints from Carthage, III .

one of the Beauties of the New Adminis-
 tTatiOn.

We can assure our subscribers in all sections of the country that all their letters uniformly pass un der the eye of the senior edtor and that he spar
 ing no pains to facilitate their papers and to remove all complaints But he is pretty confident now, from the reforms which have been introduced into his oce that nearly every failure is 10 be aitrbu- ted 10 tue Post Office Department. Jacob Colla- mer and his squire Fitz Henry Warren, are so anx-
 ous to cut off democrats heads at onee and reward their greedy applicants by office, that il is no won der they frequently appoint very incompetent, and at all tunes experienced hands, in place of the for
 mer well disciplined postmasters, who were familiar with their duties. Thus the whole country Is snf- fering from the fierce prescription which has pre- vailed in this department, and from the multitndes of inefficient agents whom they have scattered over the land. Indeed we have never known so many complaints made in all directions, and by presses ot all descriptions. Among these is the St Louis Re- publican of the 7th, rabid whig journal, whose editor hints at Colonel Cave Johnson, of course, to give him better for srraigning the miscon- duct of his successor. The beauty of the matter is and herein consists the justice of this whig edi- tor to his opponents-he wishes to lay the fault upon tho democratic posmasters, who are sccustom- ed to their duty instead of ascrbing it to those lub- beriy whigs who have been squeezed into the places of those who have been removed But carry out the prescription of the St. Louis Republican, and turn out all the old postmasters, and n would only make confusion worse confounded by adding 10 the evil Of which il complains. The following is the lasi ieremiad which il utters upon the occasion:
