Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-10-30
For the Leader.


Senator Iyerson, of Georgia, in letter to
the Columbus lGa.) Star, denies the "soft
imHenOhraeht, = that he ever said persons io-
King Office under Lincoln, should be outlaioea
and killed. What he does say, is, "Whilst
I hold sent in the U. s. senatc, will vote
against the confirmation Of every Southern
man who will be rotten enough nnd base
enough to accept office from Lincoln"
When it is considered that by far tho most
numerous class of Federal offices in the
South are the post-oilices, which are estab-
lished for the benefit Of its people, and not
for the profit of the Government, as The post
ages largely TAIL in that spnrsely settled re-
gion to pay the cost of mail transportation,
l submit the premeditated action Of the hon
orable Senator, savors more Of chivalry than
good sense. predict that il will not be
necessary for President Lincoln, under the
Force Bill created by Gen. Jackson for John
Cataine Calhoun's special benefit, to employ
the army and navy to compel our Southern
brethren to allow us the felicity of footing
the large balance Of their bills for mail
transportation.
Luckily, here in the North, in case Uncle
Sam concludes to run the machine in the
South, we have plenty of patriots Of the
Douglas faith, who will soon be in want of
job, and quite ready to serve the country in
the capacity of Office holders as they have
under Pierce and Buchanan. But l appre-
hend there viii be no occasion for their SER
vices, as Uncle Abe has already received a
Rdt-bOat load of Southern petitions, setting
forth the Offices shall not 90 a beggiRg-be-
sides breathing the greatest solicitude for his
welfare and success; and if he will only
come down with the Federal pap, the petit
TONERS will serve him with pluck that will
put the champions of Marlborough TO the
blush.
For ten long years, many of the petition
ers allege, dictatorial oligarchy, raised on
the ruins of the old Wing party, and pivot
ed on slavery prOpagandism, has held unin-
terupted and tyranical sway over the people
of the South, until change Of men is i'm
peratively demanded by all good and well
disposed citizens.
What a pretty cotillion the chivalrous
Iverson will have rejecting the claims of all
these applicants May be the spirit of
change is not rife in the South but look out
for squalls about these days, as the almanac
of old uncle A1lSel ROl11g used to say-and
"now hurrah for Douglas '--Brut1m. .fulmca.

"LoUDKR. And now, Oct. p, 1860, comes
the great Union saving oligarch, Ex- Hon.
Howell Cobb, Secretary Of the U. s. Treas
ury, and owner Of 200 slaves, and declares
to the capitalists of New York City, where
he is now managing Government stocks, it
is his intention, on a certain contingency, of
becoming traitor, within the meaning of
the law, to the Federal Government, not
withstanding he is a sworn officer. More
over, he will resign his seat in the Cabinet if
Georgia secedes, and he knows she will if
South Carolina does, and go home. Mr.
Buchanan is the first incumbent of the Presi-
dental chair, unless it was that arrant cow
ard, Frank Pierce, who would thus permit
a subaltern to compromise his administra-
ton. But perhaps the chevalier Cobb is
using the influence of his Office TO affect the
stock market by exciting apprehensions in
the public mind, that his friends may have
the benefit thereof. Still the Bulls have it;
stocks don't go down. They have "ris."
Iverson, Toombs and Cobb beautiful Ma
tional Democrats Mr.. Breckinridge's pros
poets must be vastly improving. Panic
making had its origin in Georgia. B.
