the case.
The tone OF the present advices differs very decided
ly from that of those brought by the two last pre-
ceding Steamers Need we say that the change is
unfaVourable TO the allies, as indeed always seems
to be the case, slight but deceptive advantage
being certainly succeeded by substantial unmstake

Upon reflection we think it must have been
young bull-frog who commenced believing in the
mud and took up The notion that he ought to he a
plain "bulln without the unfortunate addition of

frog was q tyye-a shadow forerunner, as it
were, of the author of the annexed letter. TO which
we call especial attention. It comments itself bv
the modesty of its tone and the beauty of its lam
guage, to say nothing of the total absence of selfish
ness exhibited by the author of the said annexed let

must be told-the post master at Weldon has resigned
and Sebastopol amt taken. But why keep our read

''WELDoN, N. c., June %, 1855
To Hon. POSTMASTER GENERAL Il feel it nv duty
as a member of the American party to tender YOU
my resignation postmaster at this place; and also
to express my dsapproval of the manner in which
this government has been administered so as to give
you an opportunity OF appointing in my place some
foreign Catholics, which, it appears from your ante
cedentS, you think more justly entitled to it than
those born upon soil. | wish this resignation to
be accepted without further ceremony, as no longer
intend to be saddled with the disgrace of holding an
Office under an administration which has been re-
pugnant to the best SITS and the prosperity of
the Union. | not only dsapprove of the admnistra-
tioI because it has abandoned the doctrines and
teachings of The Jefferson and Jackson school of De-
mOcracy, but In many other instances, which are too
we'll known to the people of these United States for
me here to enumerate.
The present administration has done more in nv
humble opinion, to Great, sectional strife and to re-
tard the progress of the American Union than every
other administration since the first days of our repub-
lie. 1t has promoted the yelling cries of the dema-
gOgueS and fanatics North, and of the bowling seces-
sOnists Southland has suffered the quiet and gallant
statesmen, who had the love Of country burning in
their bosOms, to remain at home without any COM
mendaon to cheer them for their meriorous acts;
and sent INSCRIPTIONS foreigners abroad with diplo
matte authority, to the disgrace of the country
The administration has deserted the broad Union
ground occupied by the democracy of 1859. Thank
God party has sprung up, and that, the American
party, the principles of which, proud to say TO
the world have most enthusiastically espoused a
party composed of AmerCan-boEn citizens, who say
that the institutions of beloved country shall be
restored to their original purity; that Am RIGA shall
no longer be the "Botanv Bay for the criminals and
outcasts OF Europe; and that the inalienabe rights
bequeahed to us by forefathers must and shall
be preserved. subscribe myself,

Hon. JAMES CAMPBELL.
Mr. Allen feels it to be his duty to give to the
world in general, and the Hon. Postmaster General
in particular, s. piece of his mind" He wishes
this resignation to to accepted without further cere.
mony. Though conscious of his greatness though
feeling too sensibly the duty he to his country
and TO the world to hide his light under bushel,
still he is republican, and don't want to be treated
with unnecessary ceremony Mr.. Allen don't ap-
prove of the administration, and he thinks it his
duty to tell them So and to tell the world So Even
now we can imagine how badly Mr.. Allen feels
He must have inflicted the terrible wound he has
upon the administration without due reflection, fol
he could not calmly and coolly have been guilty Of
an act so cruel as to tell Frank Pierce and his Cab
net that they no longer enjoyed the support and
confidence of that distinguished individual-the
M. at Weldon, N. c.
The Cabinet had just well burst up in a row as
not-the thing is up-W. N. ALLEN don't approve
of the administration.
But to the tale with when we commenced. 1t is
put down that, swell he would, the bull.froe
couldn't make himself anything but bull-frog and
so he burst up out of spite. We have not heard tina
the genuine bull or OK particularly affected one
way or another We don't think, after all, that the
administration will feel as bad as you might think
for
HUMAN SYMPATHY AND CLEAN RICE.-TO say tina
this is an unsympathising world is all nonsense

feeling will he describe his own losses and crosses
and if, peradventure in company with friend, III
happens to imbbe a.glass tooimuch of the rosey,'
how will the tear-drop start to his eye and trlck
down to the point of his nose; touching proof o

misfortunes.
Now, we are a sufferer, and, being connected will
