Anti-Americanism Jubilant.

The Locofocracy arc in ecstacies over
the result Of the Philadelphia Munich
pal Election. In view of the troubles
in their own wigwam as to tho Presi-
Dental succcssion--thc clashing inter-
ests of rival candidates representing
every hue Of Kansas. Nebraskaism that
will deyelope themselves at Cincinnati,
juno 2, 1856--they are particularly
thankful for small favors hence, they
arc growing Justify over the Philadel-
phia election, Now the facts are that
the election for Municipal officers in
that city was not made a party issue,
! although the Americans, ants and re-
publicans each had ticket in the field.
The old rulers Of Philadelphia had in
dulgcd in an unwise and proAigatc en-
penditurc for. city improvements, to pay
which the taxes were raised exorbitant-
", and the people were made to 'groan
just like Henry A. Wise is making
Nirginians "groan" now-and the re-
suit was that they determined to try a
change of rulers, just like Virginians
will after awhile, from the same cause.
That is the import Of the Philadelphia
victory, and nothing morc--thc express
sion of the peoples disapprobation at
being oyerburdened by taxation.

pie arc 'al reading, Intelligent, and
wealthy communicated why they
should be denied by the Government
the indispensable convenience of Post
Office, is utterly incxplicable. There
were sixty-eight papers regularly de-
livered to subscribers at that office, be-
sides corresponding amount of letters
and transient mail matter, and the ex-
pense of delivering a mail there, as for
mcrly, does not exceed $1S per annum.
The nearest Office is Mr.. Huddlesons
away at one side of the settlement, out
Of the way by some four miles, for the
largest number of citizens. Now, the
conduct of those who were instrument
al in having this Office discontinued, is
an outrage of the grossest kind upon
the people in that region; and one that
calls for prompt redress. Let them
appeal, with the facts fairly stated, to
the Department; and also ferret out
the insiduous instigator of the outrage
aud hold him up to public adherence.
1t is apolitical movementto cut off some
40 Americans from their regular read
ing facilities; and we ask them to fer
ret out the inccndiary and We will ex-
pose him in all his meanness to the
gaze of public whom hewould injure.

many miles this roadpasses right along

which the people are made to groan.--
This year they appropriate thousands
of dollars to make splendid Turnpike

fair dividend, they appropriate other
thousands to make Railroad right a.
