The Herald of yesterday, notices the re-appoint-
ment of MIR. Dickson as postmaster at this place
That paper does not believe that this appointment
gives satisfaction even to the Democratic party here
abouts.
We differ from the Herald in this respect. No man
can please everybody, and we don't suppose that Mr.
Dickson expects to succeed in performing what the
experience of the world has shown to be an impossl'
bilty but he is good postmaster, good Democrat
and clever man. AS we don't believe anybody here
below is perfect we make no claim of this kind for
MIR Dickson but we do claim that he is near enough
perfection, to give very general satisfaction to the
community as postmaster, and to render his appoint
ment acceptable 10 his party here.
