PHILADELPHIA, August 90, 1s4s.
Since Postmaster White commenced upon the duties OF
his Office some rich scenes have been enacted in that
building Instead OF being what is intended-the post
ocecliques OF Levin, Soanaker, and of Levins tool
Wallace, are ensconced in the postmasters office,
coctng how they can best beray their party by anal
gamation with the wings, with view Of defeating the
democracy in this county. Among the incidents worth
noting was the iollowing Levin had man BY the name
OF 7 appointed carrier, he being active in getting
Levin elected This person we shall call blind er
and receiving notice of his appointment he repaired
share OF writing to do besides carrying his letters he left
the office in disgust saying g" shall 60 back TO my shop
and make blinds" This is only one Of many OF Levins
appointments both in the custom house and post Office
On Levin's vist to city, Postmaster White Lewis
collector, Sloanaker, navy agent, Ashmeal district at
orney. and Dale, Leyns candidate for sheriff could be
the democratic natipes and the honest wings into an anal
gimation, under the OF Rough and Ready but it
will be no CO. as the native county convention have
passed resolution nearly unanimous, not TO amalga
mate.
Levin in his speech at the Southwark Hall, boosted of
having Roberts appointed marshal, as well as Ash
navy agent on the ground OF their being native Amer
cans and also that Lewis gave him $3.50 to carry the
election the last campaign. AS for MIR. Roberts, If
not mistaken, he halls from Lancaster county and in
Rners time belonged to the anti masons He too has
followed In the footsteps OF Lewis, by selecting Harry
Smith, who was known as the native singer during the
kensingon and Southwark riots, and, time has shown
sung himself into the Office Of deputy marshal Already
these minons for the purpose Of defeating the democratic
party are making promises to diBaectcd natives that
they will only hold still they shall have slice in tax ing
the census Gen. keim was removed from the Office OF
marshall his only crime being that he is democrat Yet
Offices are bestowed on set of worthless scamps COL
lector Maxwell has done in New York. How Cooper,
of the SENATOR'S will act in Mr. Robertss case when
he comes before the Senate for confirmation, is well
known. He promised the appointment for his friend
Brooks.
The leading wings here say that neither Lewis, White,
Roberts, Ashmead be confirmed; and that Cooper
will have the chance OF showing his constituents whether
he will stand by his pledges By the way these pledges
are farce has been verified by men who have
been elected to Office. Selar, Peel, and Wian rned
traitors to the party who put them in power.
The Democratic County Convention on Monday last
passed a resolution, (unanimous that before they went
into nomination for officers they should pledge-ihat is

Sunday, usual.
Mayor Swift is on pilgrimage to see his friend Harry
OF the West, and doubt will shed tears when he re-
aes his story how he treated by the dgnitares at
Washington in his application for office.
The cholera is entirely abaed in our cy-the Board OF

pals Already the merchants and strangers are pouring
into city, and hotels have the prospect OF doing
fair business. Shedrakes (Alleghany House, Market
above Eighth street) is well filled with merchants from
the INTERIOR and under the management of the present

terms reasonable When your citizens visit our city,
hope they will give them call. PLEBEIAN
