Chcai, Postage.

We have copied without comment, on
two occasions, articles from the Bedford
Sentinel, condemning Mr.. Powell, for his
vote against the present postage-bill HAY
ing previously found fault with the bill our
selves, we had designed, IN defence Of our
consistency, to have stated at the time, that
our objection was not to the reduction of
postal rates effected by the new law, but
to certain unequal and injudicious regula-
tons, " hich were matters Of detail, merely.
1t cannot be said that this was Mr. Pow
ellis objcction-for if such were the case, it
was his duty as considerate and faithful
representative to have moved amendments
and freed the bill from its exceptionablc
provisions. Having failed to do this, we
have right to infer that his opposition was
to the object of the bill--to vita reduc-
ton of postage. We refer the reader to
the last number Of this paper for the views
ofthe Sentinel upon the subject.

This Senatorial District.

We learn that since the adjournment
Of the Democratic Convention, held in this
town last week, ithas been asccrlained that
an error was committed in counting the
votes, and that Mr. Robert II. Glass, and
not Col. McDearmon, received majority
of the votes.
Some difficulty, however, we under
stand arises from the adoption, after the
announcement of the vote, of a resolution,
that: Col. McDcarmon be the unanimous
nomin of the Convention.
A farther difficulty, as we are III armed.
grows out Of the fact, that several gentle

Of the corporation limits, but do business

themselves classed as country delegates.
