Corruption Fund.

We publish the following for the bene-

are so irregular in the West, and so little
to be depended upon, that we fear it may
have miscarried. 1t would be pity that
any of the faithful should be pitched out
of Office IN default of responding to this
black-mail circular, through ignorance of
Its existence. Fork over, gentlemen, to
the corruption fund, or prepare to walk
the plank:
PRIVATE.
To THE POSTMASTER OF:
DEAR Sir: At private consultation
of the leading Democrats of the Union,
held IN this CITY immediately upon the adj
Journment of the Cincinnati Convention,
1t was recommended that each postmaster
be requested 10 contribute an amount pro-
portionate to the receipts OF their respec-
tive offices. Upon examination of the re-
turns of the Post Office Department it is
found that your proportion will be three
dollars, which you will confer favor by
renting by return of mail.
The principal object in making these
collections is to throw into the doubtful
States an immense quantity of speeches
and documents, in favor of the policy of
the Democratic party, and also to assist in
defraying the expenses of speakers that
will be employed during the coming cam
vass. You will therefore perceive that
every Postmaster who wishes for con,in-
uance of his official position. will fini it
for his interest to use every effort to bring
about so desirable result
Exc Postmasters are appealed to be-
cause they are considered the representa-
tlves of the party In their respective local
tiles, and being the recipients of the pat
ronage Of the Administration, it is but Just
that they should comply with its demands.
Please send us the name of some relia-
bic leading Democrat in your town whom
we can confer with hereafter.

with which he has served the interests of the

election by a greatly increased majority over that
received by him two years ago. We arc aware

comply with the wishes of his friends, and have
no doubt be viii be both re-nominated and re-
