Rhapsody (l.ide IFaiher) is applied to any
wild unintelligible, unconnec,ed, imaginary

formerly applied 10 the poems Of Homer, but its
meaning has evidently changed, as may be
discovered by the specimen which the reader is
now pcrusing. Now these articles are rightly

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1852-10-16

We have met with a statement in sew
eral papers, that the Hon. }. 5. Corr
MAN, the member of Congress for the
sixth district of Maryland, had abandon
ed the Wing party; and was going to
70 for Gen. Pierce. 1t is but due to
Col. Cottman to say that this report is
entirely infounded. A recent domestic
affection, prevents his taking any active
part in the political convass, but as the
report to which we refer, It's still repeat
ed, it is but justice to him to contradict

The Post Once Department.

Yesterday announced The appointment OF Hon s. ID
Hubbard OF Connecticut, Postmaster General in the place
OF Mr.. Hall, who has been appointed judge OF the west
ern district of New York We know nothing of Mt
Hubbard's administrative abilities we have heard them
favorably spoken of but we feel sure that the Pos
once Department cannot be administered than
II has been by Mr.. Hall The administration OF that
department under Mr Colamer bad enough; but
under Mr, Hall IL has been worse. We do not be-
eye that at any time since the foundation of The gov
ernment the public interests have been 50 totally dsre-
garded in any branch OF the public service as they have
been in the Post Office Department during the last three
years. The time was when the failure OF an important
mail was OF such that il called for an ex-
panalion but of late years il happens constantly hai
even the satisfaction of explanation is refused We
are constantly in receipt of letters from all quarters Of
the country complaining OF the mail arrangements, and
OF the failure OF paper reach its destination in rea
sonabIe time But there has been corruption as we'll as
ncompetency and careessness for of standing and
character have assured has been withheld
and that the National Isgenesr and Republic Of equal
date have been received week and sometimes days.
advance OF it, Other democratic journals have been treated
in the same way on the eve of important elections. A
few days ago we were conversing with gentleman who
had sent 10 North Carolina large number Of democratic
documents fortnight before the late election in that
Sate and who attended the election there He assured
US that the documents he sent through the mail had
not reached their destination the day of the elec,ion
and that he found them at the various post oe his
route when he returning 10 Washington where they
had just been received, several days after the election
When the Pos. Office Department is administered after this
fashion, it is nuisance, and some other employment
should be found for public officer who permits such
malpractices. We have no knowledge OF Mr. Halls
legal atlanments, or his qualifications for udgeship
but if unfness for the duties of a Postmaster
General be favorable omen, we must congratu-
late the people OF the western district of New York on
the fine prospect they have of obtaining an excellent
judge to administer the law. As any change must
be for the better, congratulate the country the ap
poinpent Of Mr. Hubbard who. his friends feel assured
will fully Justify the confidence which has been reposed
in his fidelity and efficiency. aaaa

speech OF Hon. Mr.. Dean, Of New York


We surrender considerable space in columns To-
day TO the very able speech OF this gentleman n relation
10 The whig policy in the administration OF the govern
nent and to The abuses by which has been character
lied snce the accession OF the present whg dynasty to
powe. WaII . ... If,
Mr Dean sketches in maserly manner the contrast
in The policy OF the two great paes and presents in
strong light the real issue before the people,.
We invite especially the attention OF our readers and
ot The democratic press MIR. Deans comparative view
Of The expenditures OF the government N wnig ana ~
democratic hands. This portion Of his speech together
with his scahng exposure OF specific instances OF recent
Official abuse and wsstefuness in the OF the public
money, are well fitted to impress the public mind, and
should be widely circulated.
Mr. Dean presents with particular force and cogency
the enormous abuses OF the existing administration o
the military branch OF the public service, and states with
great ceaness and vgor the responsibility OF the Gen
erain chief in the premises, and the augmented evils il
this respect which must result from his elevation TO tb,
presidency.
The instructive character OF this speech and its timely
appearance induce MS to make il exception to our gen
crsl purpose Of con6ping ourselves almost wholly to ou
report OF the Senate proceedings and debates daring III,
