is beseeching democrats with tears in his eyes to
support his administration by voting for the Lee

a world Of trouble to regulate the sixpcnny port
offices. In some towns they find II so difficult to
find democrat Of the New Hampshire or any 9TH
er stripe, that they are under the necessity Of
moving the Offices or of importing postmaster
In the town of Andoyer the present postmaster has
sold out his store and resigned his Office. With the
selectmen and town clerk he recommended his sue
cessor in the store, which is the only public place
in hdover to succeed him in the postofiice. But
some Of the administration democrats interfered
because the man thus proposed was not n Lecomp-
tonite. The truth is there not single Bu-
chanan vote in Andover in 1856, and the doctrines
of the democracy have not made much Roadway
since that time. The editor Of the .4ge not having
subscriber in that town has undertaken to either
convert some Andoyer man to the democratic faith
or to import postmaster We trust his labors
"will be abundanty blessed" The Office is worth
about S24 per year. In the mean time the sue
ccssor in the store has been appointed by his pre-
decessor assistant postmaster.
