DEAR SHAT private consultation Of the lead
ing Democrats Of the Union, held in tli. city imnc-
diatcly upon the adjournment of the Cincinnati
Convention, it was recommended that each POST
master DO requested to contribute an amount proper
tiuuate to the receipts of their respective ofic,e.-
[ pom examining the returns Of the Post Office De
%partment, it is found that your proportion will be
three dollars, which you will confer a favor by re-
hitting 10y retur IN of mail.
The principal object in making these collections
is to throw into the doubtful Statcs an immense
quantity of speeches and documents in favor of the
policy of the Democratic party, and also TO assist in
defra ying the expenses Of speakers during the COM
ing canvass. You will therefore perceive that
every Postmaster WHO WISHES FOR A CONTIN-
UANCEOF HIS OFFICIAL position will find it
for his interest to use every effort to bring about
so desirable a result.
n rostmasters are appealed To because thcy
are considered the representative OF the party in
their respective localities, and being the recipients
Of the patronage of the administration, it Is but
just that they should comply with its DEMANDS.
Please send US the name Of some reliable leading
Democrat in your town, whom We can confer with
hereafter.
Address, FERRIN VI. BROWN jun.
Washington city, Cd. e. lsj6.
Instead Of sending the Three Dollars TO
Washington, as requested, the gentleman
sent it to us to pay for Ten Copies of the

a significant sign Of the times.
