CORRESPONDENCE.
New ORLEANS, September I'd, 1854.

some ether way give Jreat Hrand-
Mamma Campbell, of the United
States Post Office department., par
ticular jessie.
I'm in the mood, having just been
biting bunch Of mint, and go. a
leaf Of camomile in my mouth, the
taste of which is something akin to
wormwood. ], E. bitter, and to add to
the bad taste in my mouth, | have
just got from the Post office, the Comet
Of the 18th date, the Gazette of the
10th and 10th, and letter post mark
ed ST. Louis, July the goth. Oh
great grand dame Campbell, illustri-
Gus specimen Of granite vigor, swift
defendant of modern democracy
Are all Cam-els thus swift? Why,
we thought mama Collamer rather
short of time occasionally, and grand
ma Hall was little shorter. but lord
a mass, great grandmama Campbell
"aint no whar" beside either of them.
Twenty eight hours from st. Louis
to New Orleans, twelve days from Bat
on Rouge to New Orleans; smart
isn't it, and this too, under the whip
and spur of a Democratic administra-
ton. Don't YOU remember (of course
you dol how the Locofocos whooped
and yelled, and Tbbed, and rallied,
wagged their heads and spat AS it
We're, upon Fillmore and all bis ma
chinery administrative land some of
it ,caut aniss) and promised if the
dear people would reject the Wings
and elect the Dems, how things wlould
change? I? The mails were to be sent
by telegraph, that wouldn't be much
improvement now, ell p and just as
regular as the sun rise. Steamboats,
and Railcars. would run up hill, on
dry land. under the propulsive force
Of granite democracy" in fact every
thing that could be thought of, or
wished for BY the people, was to be
realized under the reign Of Pierce and
the Granite democracy,
What is the result Grand dame
Campbel's bags democratic bags too)
seems to have chartered the Tortoise
Express Company" and confided to it
the slow and sure speed Of that dem
ocratic institution, the special care
and keeping Of the mail bags, in the
country.
1fany one faint" it's all right, for
the reflection that a certain persons
greatest achievements in Mexico, were
done in the fainting line, is ample ex-
cuse, and so | should think that
CampbeIl's mail carriers were all given
to fainting not fasting. BY the by,
this exquisitlv democratic administra-
ton is determined to occupy a brilliant
and high nick in the country history.
Speedy mails, Black Warrior backout,
ten millions to Santa Anna. Nebraska
and Kansas, glorious field of Greytown
(what reenaetment of SCOTS bonn
hardment st Juan DeUlloa) and-let
me see, if there is any thing else =
Well that's a brilliant roll Of stupend
Gus results-oh yes another, [ had
quite forgot the triumphant bonding
of Quitman, Tbrasher and DR., Saun
ders, for being innocent and peacible
men.
There, that's the full compliment
Of deeds done under the present Dem
ocratic administration. Well may
the Wing party hide its insignificant
head before such an array Of great and
glorions feats of arms, arts and diplo-
macy. Where is the shy-fghtipg Ga
zette, the faint-hearted Bee, and the

cross grained mules, they stand growl-

ing their own heads and legs, while
the opposite party is tumbling to pie
ces like a storm struck pillar that
the tightening has scortched and shiv
