FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN.
The Postmaster at Atlanta, Ga.--Another
Proof of the Union of Pierce and Sc
ward.
A short time since DR.. Smith, staunch and
consistent Democrat was removed from the office
o. Postmaster at Atlanta Georgia, and one Byde,
Catholic, appointed In his stead. The charges
preferred against DIR. S. were PRoTEsrASTIsM and
AMERIcAsIsM, which, be it known to the country,
are sufficient to cause the removal of any person
from any Office by the present rotten and corrupt
dynasty.
DIR. S. is as we are informed, man Of undoubt-
ed integrity and esteemed worth, popular and
much loved citizen, and was an efficient and faith
full officer. During the late epidemic in Savannah,
when the postmaster of that city, doubling bis
personal security, in consequence Of the ravages
of the disease, departed unceremonousy to more
healthy and salubrious locality, and there basked
in the sunshine of executive favor and clemency,
the Doctor, fearless, heroic and with no other mo-
tive but to protect the government, and to aid in
the execution of its laws and in the discharge Of
its duties to its citizens, repaired Immediately to
the city and discharged the duties Of postmaster
until the frightened official, restored to that de-
gree of courage where faintiness ceases, and TO
that sense Of duty which idleness and negligence
only prompts, returned.
For such services he has been rewarded with
official decaptation. A deed SO gallant and heroic
has been rewarded with the rude disapprobation Of
President Pierce. Chagrin modification, execu-
tive dspleasure and removal constitute the reward

Franklin Pierce who on notable occasion, shocked
by the unexpected explosion Of gunpowder, tainted
and fell to the ground, with bruised knee But
to return TO the real question. short time pre-
vious to the adjournment Of the late Congress, tho
nomination of Byde, successor to DR.. s., was sent
tosthe Senate, and on his confirmation the distinct
issue between Americanism and Foregnism and
Romanism combined, was made. He was con-
frmed by bare majority. These facts we're well
known to Senators. Il was in secret session,
where some Of the Pierce and Forney politicians
may be willing TO do that which they dare not
'just now" publicly avow.

stood Senators Mason and Seward, Hunter and
