setlieu Poilcy Vi Tue government VI tne Onlteu
States, not to interfere between two foreign
nations that may be at war;" he asks the gov
eminent to extend this policy little further,
and resolve that where any foreign nations may
be engaged in war for freedom, with the mon
arches of Europe, or any other monarchcal
government on the face of the whole earth,
that the United States will join in preventing
any third power from joining against the coun-
try struggling for freedom, or in other words,
for the United States government to express
their decided dsapprobation of the act of Rus
STA, in joining Austria to put down the cause of
freedom in Hungary
"a" Now that the holidays are over" we
feel it our duty to take the Post Office Depart
ment and its organ, the Advertiser, in hand
again. We consider ourselves fortunate in
having found "the raw" and "the CALLED jade
winces" under an unwelcome tale telling. There
was evidently considerable "noise and confu-
sion" at head quarters, about the time the Ad-
rertiser was directed to train its batteries upon
us, for daring to find fault with Mr.. Fitz Henry
Warren's official management. The pretended
explanation of the Advertiser, was either inten-
ded for another market, where falsehood would
answer as well as truth, or the Post Office De-
partment know nothing of the manner in which
the mail service on the different routes is per-
formed, or 'ohether ii is performed at ALL Take
either horn of the dilemma, Mr.. Advertiser.
To narrow the matter down to simple state
ment of facts, you have stated, with strong
official" odor, to say the least, that
Grand Haven instead of having a weekly
mail from Grand Rapids, has now a tri-weekly
from here and from Milwaukee, weekly mail
from Holland to Allegan.
This is vholly false According to your state
ment, service was ordered on the route from
Allegan to Holland, Sept. 20, 1851. At this
date, January II, 1852, no Serrice has euer been
performed on the route. Please explain, Mr.. Adj
rertiser, and try and pacify our friends, the
Hollanders." Undoubtedly, they will consider
another explanation from you, ample compen-
sation for the entire neglect of the Post Office
Department.

government lackeys, /" from the north woods,
to spend lille time among the gaities Of KaI-
amazoo."
The gaties of K-a-l-a.m-a-z.O-o!! What!
Kalamazoo, gay place If long faces and
empty pockets, is what you call gaiety, then in
deed is Kalamazoo blessed with the article Of
" Gaiety" "The north woods" Woods Mr.
editor means forests. Were you ever in the
forests of shipping in the ports of New York,
Boston or Liverpool, Constantnople or the
many ports Of the Celestial Empire? If so,
then you can form some vague idea of the
woods" that your distinguished guest came
out of. No owls in these "woods ;" balloons
and hyenas are scarce, none here at present.
The climate of Kalamazoo, is more congenal
to the race of quadrupeds and bipeds than that
which surrounds our forest of towering spars
and lofty domes and spires. Again sir we have
the genuine article of gaiety here. Drop in at
one of our Bachelors Festivals" each costing
the mass of gay old coons" one thousand dol
lars or less. Again see us at one of our Leap
Year Jubilees,' where for time beauty and
fashion seizes the rens and rides triumphantly
over the rougher part of created mortals, (and
where scores of beautiful ladies will condescend
to kiss an editor)! Oh oh if we were only
young again, wouldn't we go it this Leap Year !
Don't start, but you see Kalamazoo never will
be troubled with any thing like the halo of gai-
ETY. that we have been surrounded with since
the first coming of stern old winter.
The Judges ofthe Supreme Court, elected I'M
der the new Constitution, met in this city yes
terday, the first day of the winter term; but
some of their number not having arrived, the
election of President Judge was postponed
till to-day, when it is presumed the members Of
the Court will be in attendance. 1t will be rec
objected that this is the first meeting of the Su-
preme Court elected by the people; and we can
do no less than say, what is known by every
one, that the system Of eectng by the people
is indicated by the persons now composing the
Bench of our Supreme Court They are all
able, discreet and upright men; and the State
has the amplest assurance that in their discharge
of the important duties entrusted to their
hands, its honors and its ermine will be fully
bet. Free Press, 9th inst.
