at any particular time, il ia absouteIv necessary
that the writer should 60 or send especially
for that purpose TO the Post Ofioe, situated as
il is at one end of an island fifteen miles long.
So Of all that class Of citizens whose addre sses
are not known. They too are obliged to go a
distance sometimes Of fifteen miles to inquire
for an anticipated letter This ia clearly a
state Of things which cannot be tolerated.
Local post Offices we must have. Regular
and frequent distribution of letters we must
have. A great central post Office, adapted to
the equal wants Of all, we must have.
We do not attach the blame of the defects
OF our postal system particularly to this
or any preceding administration, but we do
say that the present Post Office arrangements
Of this city are wholly unworthy Of any civil
lied country, surprising in abuses and neglect
OF the general popular interest any thing to be
found elsewhere throughout the length and
breadth of our republic. We call upon the in
h-bitants of the various sections Of the city
whose natural centres we have indicated above
a. proper places for the establishment of local
post Offices, to arouse themselves to sense OF
their rights and the obligations of our rulers,
to whom they are to look for q remedy of the
msDifest evils we have pointed out. Had not
our fellow-citizens been the most stolid and
abject subjects of bad administration in this
particular, and totally Indifferent alike to their
Interests and their rights, they would long ago
have forced the Post Office Department to estab-
lish local Offices at every one of the places we
have indicated Let energetic petitions and rep
reservations be sent forward to the Postmas-
ter General and to Congress, from every one
Of the localities mentioned, and the justice we
have so clear right to claim in the common
interest Of every portion of the city. and in
that Of the Treasury itself, wiN not long be de-
layed.
