Des Moines courier. ([Ottumwa] Iowa) 1848-1854, 1853-05-12


will be held good by us.
The Posi- OFFICE is removed from
the Courier Building to the store of A.
Nudge l. Co., where bran new Post
master will be found duly installed, and
with the fret blush Of honor upons him.
The Post-ofIice seeking community will
save themselves and US who have been
thus consgind to state Of retiraey, which
we wish TO enjoy uninterrupted TO see
how we like il, some trouble by an ear
ly conformity TO the new arrangement.
Yes the Post Office is gone, and we
but speak the sentiment Of all upon
whom lie labors hav We devolved in saying
that we par, with j, withou, shadow Of
regret. II is gone with all its laborious
and perplexing duties; its hurrying of
impa,ien nj feet. and lis anxious faces seek.
ing missiles of business, pleasure or love.
No more shall we hear in ,hese regions,
now consecrased to qu,e, and repose,
the impor,unate and ten thousand times
repeated dem and, is there anything for
ME; anything for Shocks; anything for
Brown and Smith. No more shall our
sympa,hies be excited by the looks OF
incredibly. disappointment. and no, sell
dom anguish of the wife, husband. sis.
ter. or lover, when the rascally mail has
failed to bring expected tidings from the
absen, one. far away and exposed TO the
dangers and uncertainties OF California,
or Oregon. What so like Panorama
Of the living. busting. hoping. loving,
hating and wi,hal careless, and reckless
world. as the Posu o flee. fast becoming,
az intelligence, intercourse, and commerce
increases, the indispensable and unvcrsa
agen, Of mankind. ........
Our new Postmaster has our bes,
wishes for his success in giving satisiac,
ton TO the public whose servant, in every
sense Of the term. he now is. The Post
master requires more patience, good ma.
'ure, and sympathy than any other living
man. lie is an officer with whom all
OF every party. and Of every shade of
character, have to do, and shat too. not as
a matter OF choice, as is the case with
most other employ menls. but of necessi-
iy. The comfort. therefore. of the whole
community. and constantly. depend
in no small degree upon the temper. ur.
bani,y and accommodating disposition of
the Postmaster. Hence the Postmaster
should recognize no distinction in the
community, and remember no pas. ami
mostly. All, the rich, the poor,
the in.elligen, and the ignorant. political
friends and political enemies have alike
righ, to be served. and that too, with
the same semblance az least of respect.
II is well known that the late incuin.
bent OF the Post. office has held the Of
flee for sometime past, at considerable
sacrifice Of private convenience and in
.eres,s. and that if the way had seemed
clear to him to do SO. he would long
ago have diverted himself of il. During
the uncertainty of the lale election, j,
would have been difficult. to have found a
successor who would have been accept.
able TO the public; and afterwards il.
seemed right tina. the friends of the new
administration should agree among them
selves upon the individual upon whom
the Office should be conferred. They
have now agreed, or if not. the Pos.
Master General has settled il for them.
whe,her satisfactorily to the party. or in
conformity to natural OF party rights, or
with democratic principles and usages is
matter with which he has nothing TO
do. For himself we can say tina, 1t is
no, known tina, any considerable dissas-
isfaction IN relation TO the manner in
whirh The affairs Of The office have been
administered by him exists. On the con-
srary il is a satisfaction 10 him and his
friends TO know that me expression OF
satisfaction is both fla,tering and gener.
al, a. by no means confined to The party
with which he is connected. ii
