More Straws.

Our friend, ANDREW B. JACKSON, of Bristol
in this county, has just returned from visit
''down east.g Of course he takes an interest
as everybody does, in this election, and although
he supported Pierce in 1852, is now on the right
side. He reports the following "votes," all but
|one taken by himself.
July 4th. on the cars between Cleveland and
Buffalo-Fremont az; Buchanan, Ia; Fillmore 9
July 5th at the Mansion House, German He
tel in Buffalo-Fremont %; Buchanan 8.
July 18th, on the N. Y. Central r. R.-Fre
40; Buchanan 81; Fillmore %.
July 10th; on the N Y. Central R. R.-Fre
mont 60; Buchanan %; Fillmore %.
July 18th, on the Southern Michigan-Fre
mont Sd; Buchanan II; Fillmore 3.
July 18th. on the n Y Central, in one car
Fremont 10; Buchanan z; Fillmore 2. This
vote reported by another person.
July 18th, on the Michigan Central-Fremont
%; Buchanan Is; Fillmore s.
July 18th, Lake Shore Road, Between Chica,
go and Kenosha-F remont AZ; Buchanan Ia
Fillmore 8.
Not only were these votes, with the one ex
ception we have mentioned, all taken by Mr.
Jackson himself, but they are all he did take;
showing uniformity and current of popular
opinion which cannot be mistaken.
We might fill our paper with such evidences
but we have room for those only which possess
q home interest.

Sir Geo. Gray asked the house they could condemn the

DEAR SIR:--At private consultation of the

Immediately upon the adjournment of the Cincin.
natl Convention, 1T was rec commended that each
postmaster be requested to contribute an amount
lproporionate to the receipts of their respective
offices. Upon examining the returns of the Post
Office Department, it is found that your proper
ton will be three dollars, which you will confer
favor by renting by return of mail
The principal object in making these collec-
tions is to throw into the doubtful States an i'm
mense quantity of speeches and documents in
favor of the policy of the democratic party, and
also to assist in defrayng the expenses of speak
ers that will be employed during the coming can
vass. You will therefore perceive that every
postmaster WHO WISHES FOR CONTINUANCE
OF HIS OFFICIAL POSITION, will find it for his
interest to use every effort to bring about SO de-
sirable a result.
Eg' Postmastcrs are appealed to because they
are considered the representatives of the party
in their respective localities. and being the reci
pient of the patronage of the administration it is
but just that they should comply with its DE-
MANDS.
Please send us the name of some reliable lead
ing democrat in your town whom we can confer
with hereafter
