The Administration and Defhuiting Fowler.
The leniency shown the swartwoutng
Poatmaslorof New York City, who was the
pet delegme Of tho Administration to the
Charleston 6onvonhon, illustrates the steal
ings generally under the auspices of 81. B."
Il was three days after the deialeation of
Fowler had been brought to the attention of
the Department before an effort was made to
arrest him by the Immaculate Rynders, and
he had not LEFT his Hotel when the U. S.
Marshal went through the farce of q search,
and he did not embark for Havana until sew
eral days after the warrant was issued. His
friends not only had access to the defaulter,
but they raised fund of several thousand
dollars to aid in hisfight
This neglect to arrest is explained by the
extraordinary revelations made by the Post
master General in answer to call Of Con-
gress for information concerning Fowler's
deialestion. Il appears that his accounts
were never legally settled during the whole
term of the present administration, but
were adjusted by fictitious system, in vio-
lation of the spirit and letter of the Sub
Treasury law The officers of the depart
ment aided him in concealing the defalcation
all through, and yet they and the Post Mas
ter General are continued right along in
office by a. B." without even rebuke.-
No marvel the people are resolved that
Honest Old Abe" shall turn out great ras-
cal, on the 4th of March next.

The Union lor Victory in ohio.

The Opposition in Southern Ohio, are com
ing up in solid phalanx for Lincoln and Ham
lin. In 1856, a large vote was pOlled in the
Scioto, &c, district, for Fillmore. Now, the
Ironton Register says 'the Opposition are all
as one in this Congressional District. All,
from every county, so far as we can learn,
except the Democrats, are enthusiastic in
support of Lincoln and Hamlin. The Ports
mouth Tribune and the Gallipolis Journal,
the Fillmore papers of the District in 1855,
are out heartily for the Republican nominees.
The Galipolls Journal earnestly says;
ave ratify the nomination with our whole
heart, believing that the ides of November
viii bring Us a glorious victory. The name
of '4honest old Abe, win awaken a degree Of
enthusiasm that will shake the continent
and strike terror into the corrupt and reck-
less Democratic party, that for so many years,
has misraled and debauched the nation. Let
our. .watchword be Lincoln, Hamlm, Union,
and victory a
We trust our readers will carefully read
the platform, for a nobler political creed has
never been put forth than that adopted by
the National Republican Convention. The
platform has been framed with admirable dis
cretion, embodying the whole Republican,
creed-nothing mOre-nOthing less; and upon
which the entire Opposition can firmly i'm
plant themselves, feeling assured that the
principles therein enunciated appertain to
the wants, institutions, and welfare of our
common country" 81 G q 4 y =

II is very generally conceded that the Mem
her Of the Board of Public Works to be q 10
sen next fall should be from the section of the
State which embraces heNorthern Division of
the Ohio Canal. Mr.. Backus, whose term
expires, resides in Toledo, and yet he has
charge of the Ohio Canal Northern Division.
Mr.. Martin, one of the Board, resides in But
Ter county, and very properly has superyfs-
ion of the Public Works IN the Western pbr-
ton of the State. Mr. Gregory resides at
E Portsmouth, and has charge Of the southern
Division Of the Ohio Canal So much for
locality. "a
It is Of the FIRST importance that the Repub-
hean candidate should not only be rightly
located, but in all respects the right man, for
nomination is equivalent to an election. =
He should be a thorough practical business
man, of sound Judgment strict integrity, and
familiar with the Canals, their policy and
wants. and the interests of commerce and the
State man who VIII manage them with
economy, and with proper regard to the in
terests OF those who use them, as well as to
revenue. We have the assurance Of iutelli-
gent business men who have the most to do
with canal commerce, that with good crops
and good management the canals can be
made to fully pay their way to the State, and
become of immense utility and phoft to pro-
ducers. This is ga eonsummation devoutly
to be wished z - .- -
Among the names suggested for Member Of
the Board, that of JoHs H. CHAMpERIE, Of

emphaticaIly endorse all that is there said Of
him personally and Of his qualifications for
the Office. 1t would be very gratifying to his
feIow-citizens in this part of the State to
have his name upon the ticket. No better
selection could be made within the district Of

.ITbs Two DsmocrarIc Conventions.

The Washington Star Of the sih says Of
the Richmond and Baltimore Conventions;
From the developments already made
through correspondence written 10 Southern
members Of Congress, il has already become
apparent that the Convention about 10 assem-
bic in Richmond will be guided by provident
councils even Mr. Yancey being inclined 70
repair TO Baltimore on the 18th inst. There
is no doubt that those who go into council at
Richmond will at once see that under exist
ing circumstances nothing can be gained for
the cause Of, the South by the adoption ofany
policy that may possibly initiate against the
unity OF the South, whitehall understand will
surely be consummated at Baltimore, If those
who claim to be the most anxious 10 bring
about that result do not refuse TO make the

This eloquent Democratic Senator from
Louisiana, was very. severe in his late speech
on Senator Douglas. The following isan ex-
tract. It will show to the Northern support
ers of the Little Giant how the Southern
Democracy feel toward him, and what they
accuse him Of Speaking Of Mr.. Douglas,
Mr.. Benjamin said;
We accuse him of this, to wit: that haY-
ing bargained with US upon a point upon
which we were at issue, that it should be con-
sidered judicial point; that he would abide
the decision that he would act under the de-
cision, and consider it a doctrine of the party !;
that having said that here in the Senate, he
went home, and under the stress Of a local
election, his knees gave way; his whole
person trembled. His adversary stood upon
principle and was beaten; and 10, he is the
candidate of mighty party for the Presi-
dency of the United States. The Senator
from Illinois filtered He got the prize for
which he faltered but 10, the grand prize of
his ambition to-day slips from his grasp be-
cause of his faltering in his former contest,
and his success in the canvass for the Senate,
purchased for an ignoble price, has cost him
the loss of the Presidency of the United
States.
Here were two men, struggling before the
people of a State on two great sides of a po-
iitical controversy that was dividing the
Union, each for empire at home. One stood
on principle-was defeated. To-day, where
stands he The other faltered- received the
prize; but, to-day, where stands he Not
at the head of the Democratic party of these
United States. He is fallen star. We have
separated from him. He is right in saying
we have separated from him. We have sep
arated from him, not because he held
principles in 1859 different from ours. We
have separated from him, not because we are
intolerant of opposition from anybody, for
the Senator from Ohio (6r, Pugh) is an hon
ored member of our organization. We sepa-
ratefrom him because he has denied the bar
gain that he made when he went home; be-
cause. after telling US here in the Senate that
he was willing that this whole matter should
be decided by the Supreme Court, in the face
of his people, he told them that he had got
US by the bill; and that, whether the decis-
ion was for or against US, the practical effect
was to be against us and because he shows
us now again that he is ready to make use OF
Republican arguments used against himself
at home, and to put them forth against the
Democratic party in speeches here in the
Senate. ,-.-.

- The miserable management Of the Post Oi-
ice Department under Mr. Buchanan's ad-
ministration eliminated last year in cutting
down the mail service on many important
routes, to the great Inconvenience of the peo7
pie interested, particularly in the Free States
where everybody readsand writes. InNorth-
ern Ohio. for instance, many of the daily
country routes were cut down to semi-week-
ly or weekly, and various WeekIies discon-
tinued altogether. Great dissatisfaction as
well as Inconvenience resulted, and all to en-
able the South and certain favorite cOntrac-
tons, and thieves like Fowler, to iatten on
the postages collected from the people.
It is stated that Senator Yulee Of Florida,
a brother-ip-law Of Mr. Holt, the Postmaster
General, managed to secure increased mail
service for his State, when nearly all the
other States were subjected 10 large gurtaiI-
