yesterday returned to the Post Office from one OF
the principal Broadway hotels, having been received
tke.e through the mails from every section Of the Union
and not called for by the parties whom they ad
dsessed. II appears that these letters have been
ulatipg for years. and they doubt embrace many Of
value and importance, long stree given lost and in
connection with which the Post Office Department has
been severely censured.
gentleman Of New Orleans, for instance, coming
North, says to his friends that he shall stop at the st.
Nicholas Hotel, New York. But on arriving here he
charges his mind AID stops at other house. His
letters addressed to him at the St. Nicholas and he
never receives them.
1t is duty which every landlord to his guests
and to the Post Office Department, to all letters
not called for within reasonable time to the Post Oce
In order that they may be delivered from there, ct
Least be sent to the dead letter Office At Washington
from whence, if valuable tEey quite to find

OLD WuIas Nor WANTEp.-John Wentworth,
of the Chicago Democrat, an active Niger wcr-
shipper, is opposed to the nomination Of Mr..
Grinnell, Of this city, as the Seward coalition
candidate for Vice President because Mr..
Grinnell belonged to the cid whig party. Mr..
Wentworth thinks that the old whig party
ought lot to be allowed to put even it's nose
inside the tabernacle door of the holy anti
slavery alliance. The coalition should be en-
tirely under the control of the renegade North
ern democracy. The remnants Of the old WING
party are thus kicked about, from pillar to
post, without renorse. Straight wings! how
long will you bear these huniliations, and go
about begging, like poor pussy, for q corner?
