The Locofoco PoStmasters, who fill
ninetenths Of all the Post Offices in

that they have taken no active part in
partisan politics, and that they are
strictly attentive TO their duties, and
asking to be retained in the public ser.
vice. Nearly every one Of these let.
tiers has been followed by irrefragable
evidence that these Postmaslers are the
most virulent partisans Of their respec.
tive neighborhoods, occupy the most
prominent positions in their political
Locofoco organizations and are notori.
ously negligent of their duties. In eve
ry such case, where the proof of polit-
ical interference and neglect Of duty
comes from responsible sources, the Of
fender is promptly displaced. This
statement will explain to those Post,

Railroad Humbusscry,

There is no one subject treated Of by anony,
nous writers in the newspapers which ought tc
be received by the reading public with greater
caution, than articles relative to Railroads. Ii
is so easy for interested brokers or spectators
in the thiefike guise of anonymous scribbers
to crack up or cry down, as the case may be
any public enterprise ofthe kind that the public
are duped and deceived, instead of being en-
ightned and improved. We have seen spec
mems of deception il regard to railroads, pub
ished in respectable papers, which aroused our
indignation; and yet what can one newspaper d,
towards disabusing the public. when specua
tor has the free run OF all the other newspapers
and uses them 10 suit his purposes ofpubic plum
der!
We had our attention called to an article rel
alive to the Vermont Central Railroad, publish
ed in the Olive Branch, and copied into thu
Courier, Traveller and perhaps other papers.
This article is written, the Olive Branch says
by one intimately acquainted with The affairs o
