An induoement Is, by this arrangement, offered to
newspaper agents. booksellers, statoners, and Others
to act 40 agents for the Anoican Organ, and TO the
present notice we accordingly invite their attention.
An Independent Democrat.
We have been furnished with copy Of a
letter addressed by the assistant postmaster al
Weldon, North Carolina, on yesterday, to the
Postmaster General, which we now present to
our readers, with a brief statement, furnished
by friend at that place, informing us Of the
political character and standing Of w. N. Allen,
Esq, the assistant postmaster, above referred
to. Our friend says:
aMr. Allen has been heretofore devoted and
decided Democrat, and was an ardent advocate Of
General Pierces election. He Is gentleman Of
standing in the community, and a merchant H.
has purified his garments by connecting himself
with the American party
When Democrat Of high and honorabl,
bearing, like w. N Allen, Esq, of Weldon,
North Carolina, voluntarily resigns position
Of advantage and profit under the Federal
Government, on the ground Of his disapproyal
Of the measures and policy Of the administra-
ton, the fact should be chronicled, not onl,
for imitation by contemporaries, but to infus,
into the bosoms Of the rising generation, a
pure and holy patriotism, which spurns the
emolument Of an office held at the sacrifice o.
sclf.respect. Tho lines Of a celebrated poet,
modified somewhat to have more appropri-
ate application, were never more true than
now, to wit: a
when rogues and Jesuits rule the nation,
1.-THE post Of honor Ia private station
Mr.. Allen has illustrated his belief in tho
above truth, and boldly and frankly, as a JEFF
fersonian Democrat, denounced the course Of
an administration which he aided to bring into
power, thus assigning the reasons why he is
not willing to be saddled with the disgrace Of
holding Office under such an administration
There are thousands Of men who entertain the
same views and sentiments as Mr.. Allen, and
who continue to hold Office under the present
dynasty. It is difficult point to decid'
whether il is the duty of such, for the benefit
of the country, to continue in office, or whether
they should clear their skirts and wash thei
hands of this administration.
There are mischiefs that might result, and
probably would result from their genera
withdrawal, and leaving the offices to be fillec
by foreign Catholics, the materiet out Of which
this administration now almost invariably Sc
lects Its tools, to carry on the government
on the other hand, the country would be more
certainly and speedily revolutionized, if tn,
Cabinet were permitted still more to disgust
the country, by filling vacancies thus created,
by such appointments.
We therefore cannot take the responsibility
Of advising gonord stampede OF honest office
holders, from their positions--each must judge
fer himself how 10 act on this question.

We shall give place TO no fears on this ques.

capable Of self-government and that 1856 vii
prove IL; but IL they fail to take the govern.

their places win be allied by appointments from
the ranks Of Foreignism and Catholicism. w,
do not doubt the truth Of the rumor, nor shall
we regret the removals, except on the ground,
that many Of these men have families Deepen.
dent upon them for their subsistence, and the
removals will therefore create much distress.
As poll ician, merely, we shall rejoice, for tn,

the proscriptive tyranny Of this Romish admin.
istration.
In ordinary times, the removal Of one such
man as John Wilson, late Commissioner Of thu
General Land Office, upon. the ground that b,
il a Protcstdat american, would create q
storm OF indignation, which would hurl from
power the miscrcants who had enacted th,
tyranny, but in these times Of party corruption,
the original adherents Of the present dynasty
require multiplicity Of such acts to induce

his rotten administration by pandering to the
