The Post Office.

Dr. Borland is true to his old tactics He has never had the editorial management of a newspaper in this State without getting into a difficulty with the post master It is one way he has of raising the cry of persecution, and thus presenting himself before the public as an object of pity and sympathy. All remember his charges against Woodruff when he was post master, and afterwards, when he joined Wood ruff, his humlliating recantaton.
 He has now commenced the same game up- on Mr. Reardon, the post master, and Col. Hays, the special mail agent He has done every thing in his power to subject these gen. tlemen to the censure of the public. He has purposely delayed sending his paper to the post office until aftert the mail had left, in order that his subscribers might complain against the post master for its failure to arrive. The game is low infamous one.
 He charged Mr. Woodruff with opening his letters as well as delaying his papers. The same charge he now prefers against Mr. Rear don and Col. Hays.
 We propose to examine the charge. He says that the address of the president to the know nothing council was "enue1qped and d. rected to aoeN h7oa0n active advocate cf he same party in e neiglJoging Sate," and that after wards it appeared in print in this city, in the True Democrat, instead of being sent on di- rectly.
 On this Dr. Borland makes the charge that the mail agent detained the address," opened it and furnished us the extracts which we pub lished.
 Dr. Borland furnished us the proof to esta- blsh this charge falsehood. He says, after si1 aoeeks the address soas receioed by this "active advocate' to whom it was ".enveloped and di- rected" Now the address, from which we made the extracts alluded to, is yet in our pos session and car be seen by any know nothing who will call upon us. Hence it could not have been the one that was mailed to that "well known active advocate in a neighboring State," the receipt of which by him, Dr. Bor- land acknowledges.
 The address, we have, and from which we made our extracts, was furnished to us by Mil- ton Butler He sent it to us, as he promised to do, through the post office, with all of the ex- tracts we made, carefully marked. It is yet in our possession, and can be seen by any one who will call upon us.
 Thus it will be seen, by the testimony of Dr. Borland himself, that his charges against the post master and the mail agent are groundless- ore Jalsehooas.
 One other of his charges and we are done. In his paper it is said:
 "But when some men are found capable of felonously entering their neighbours house, in the night, to purloin what they say is the rtu- al of the know nothing party, and publish to the world as such, what was thus obtained, we need no longer wonder that some may also, be found to take letters, or do any thing else that is villainous"
 This is an nfamously false charge against us that Dr. Borland knows to be false. The ritual that we published was taken from the New Or leans Delta, and was not obtained by us by "feloniously entering neighbor's houses' s'- 7hieOing counte'Jeiting and Jo,ying are .tailings Haat belong to Dr. Borlands Jansily, not to ours.
 As to the post office charges we turn Dr. Borland over to the tender mercies of William E. Woodruff. MT. Woodruff doubtless. can prove, that Borland is capable of making false charges and then humbly recanting them.
