POLITICAL ITEMS.

Before going to press, to-day, We hope to
receive some returns, by telegraph, Of the
State elections held yesterday.
In Indiana, full State ticket, members of
Congress, and the State Legislature, together
with county officers, was elected. There seems
to be but one political organization in the
State, the Know Nothings having fused with
the Fremont party, and have thus carried on
the canvass in opposition to the Democrats
The following is the result of tho election in
Indiana. in 1854, for Secretary of State, to-
gether with the Presidential vote in 1852:

and the Republican, as follows:

Auditor. James Pollard, John Potter
Treasurer. George Paul, NJ L. Morris,
Att. General. Baker. Sam'l A. Rice
Two members of Congress are also to be
chosen.

/ faithfully discharged my duty. And now wish
10 call your attention to something which do not
consider duty as postmaster, but a pleasant duty
as an honest citizen Of Christian country.
In your blind zeal to remove all Known Nothings
and appoint ''good Democrats" you have succeed
ed in filing many Of the Offices with either igno-
rarnuses or grand villains I mean there is man
of one stipe in one Office, and one Of the other m
another. Very often have seen packages 80 Inn
perfectly directed to be obliged to see the letter
in order to tell It's destination. Bills 80 hed that
correct posting Of the same is quite an accident
if ever effected These faults to be ptied rather
than abused but ro66ing Of the mails is a matter
that should receive the dsapprobation OF all hon
est men, and rigid investigation from the tepart
| ment I have never known so much complaint OF
the mails as prevails in the land at
present and 80 far as have ever heard, the proper
i authorities have maue no atteHpt W DrlnB the
guilty ones to justice. l have heard Of many rob
berries upon the mails in places distant from here,
but now it is next to impossible for valuable let
ter to reach It's destination, when sent from here
to Raleigh, North Carolina. There have been two
sent to that place from here, and the reception Of
one, kno,c, and both think have been denied
| over the signature OF the proper persons Had
no other motive in desiring release from the Of
fee, would not willingly be an agent Of power
which suffers such offenders TO go unpublished, even
unchased. These are with me sufficient reasons to
justify my determination.
The present quarter will end on the 3lst instant,
until then expect to discharge my duty, and no
more after that date do intend to receive any
mails presume this will be timely notice of my
intention aud you can act as you choose about the
appointment Of some person To act as postmaster

SIR The Office of postmaster at this place, you
must be aware is not now, neither was it ever, one
of very great pecuniary gain. The contrary rather
has ever been the case, and the master is never
half paid for the small amount Of work which Is
necessary. The convenience of the thing " is its
only recommendation, and this was the only re-
ward by which was induced to accept the same.
Under these circumstances / must confess my dis.
position to be in an i'll humor on hearing 30 often
" that 4, being a Know Nothing, was only permit
ted to remain in office in consequence of the above
stated facts" To these sayings, however, paid
as little attention as the nature of the case would
admit, and my weak judgment could dictate
coming as they did from weaker, and, as sup
posed, more prejudced minds, than to whose will
any power of any nature should ever have been in
trusted. In this was mistaken for, although you
have taken the trouble to publish what you and
your Locofoco friends call correction Of Mr..
Puryear's statement of a conversation between
yourself and that gentleman, you have at the same
time published what would suppose every candid
reader must take for sufficient evidence that the
statement was substantially true with the addition
" when good Democrats were offered for their
place. Previous to my reading this correction
addressed to you note declsring my connection
with the American party, and my readiness to be
turned out " of the post Office.
The noncompliance, on my part with the pro-
visions of the aforesaid addition must alone ex-
cuse you for neglect to pay that attention to my
note which so earnestly wished and your Loco
foco friends expected. While have impatiently
awaited the appointment Of my successor, your
friends have sufficiently amused themselves over
the mistaken idea Of your having faithfully obeyed
" orders" and my removal Those Orders should
have been obeyed. Your friends expected It, and
l hope you viii at an early day redeem that char
scter for promptness for which you have received
so much credit from set of friends 80 confdent of
your having performed your duty that their prn-
dence was overcome by joyous feelings which
prompted the tongue to utter shouts Of thanks
" before they were entirely out of the woods."
