Mr.. Coax and hats NeiSA bors.

The following commun cation from Mr.. Co ke
seems to require some explanation, In the ar
tce publs he'd in our paper and which will be
tached to him any one -ls. in particular A
delay in mail matter 20 the Douglas Post Once,
was complained e and we merely sugges' ed
he suSieSt through the paper, t. ascer ain where
the trouble existed, that proper remedy might
be applied to correct it, The trouble was as
cer,ainpd to -Kist at this Office and was forthwith
CORRECTED. Now, we can see no occasion tor our
neighbnr 70 assrne that he was crnsured in the
article alluded to, nr tor concluding that the
people Of AHharn were disposed to censure hin,
with, or without a reason.
