AN HONEST MAN.-We copy from the Ra-
leigh Register the following letter, addressed
oy W. NAllen, of Weldon, North Carolina, to
postmaster general Campbell, resignng the of
nee OF postmaster at that place. Mr.. Allen is
an old Jeffersonian democrat, and aided in the
election of Pierce; but having joined the.Amer-
lean party and approving of its principles,
scorns to any longer hold Office under an admin
Istration that places itself under foreign STAN
dard, and openly opposes the Americans. He
Will not fight in the ranks of a foreign partv-I

postmaster. general: feel it my duty as mem
Der OF the American party, to tender YOU nv
resignation as postmaster at this place; and al
so to express my disapproval of the manner in
which this government has been administered
SO as TO give you an opportunity Of appointing
IN my place some foreigner. which, it appears
from your antecedents, you think more Justly
entitled to 1t than those bqn upon our soil. II,
WISH this resignation to be accepted without
ur1her ceremony, AS. lno longer intend to be {
'addled with the disgrace Of holding an office :
lnder an administration which has been so re- +
'ugnant to the best interests and the prosperity
ii the Union. l not only disapprove of the adj Fc
olnlstFauon because it has abandoned the doc !,
rlnes and teachings Of the Jefferson and Jack n
on school OF democracy, but in many other I
1s'ances, which are too well known to the peo ir
fe OF these United States for me here to emu 70
lerate. 'Nu- ID
ne present administration has done more Y
my humble opinion, to create sectional strife W
M TO retard the progress ofthe American Uni 60
J. than every other administration since the ~
st days ofour republic. 1t has promoted the as
cling cries of the demagoeues and fanatics of ~
e north, and ofthe bowling secessionist south RI
and has suffered the quiet and gallant states ~,
