The Mails AGAIN.-We suppose the wings of

have the mails been in such wretched confusion at
the present time. The principal wing papers. we
admit, are loud in their complaints; and the heavy
commercial interests affected through them. be-
ginning feel the effects of The foolish substitution
made by Old Taylor, ar his Regency. II bears heavy

the old wing grumblers may see the difference be-
tween Democratic and Wing rule. We deny
cessiul contradiction that mails at this
point in such state OF present. either In or out of

our Wing merchants and Wing bank cashiers at
Madison should not have replies by mail, they
can blame their pet for it; and if the same class in
Cincinnati should be in quandary, and protest
of their friends at Madison, why, just repay the
costs, throw up your caps and huzza for Old lack

papers repeatedly returned when legbly directed and

that budy should require that the apponee can read
