The Post Master.

The contest for the Pest Office at this place
is carried on in earnest. Since the return OF
Judge Hale, the friends of the several candi.
dates have been busily engaged in urging
the Judge to use his influence in favor of
their respective candidates. We believe the
Judge has concluded to leave it to vote of
the people. This would be fair. The Post
Master comes in more direct contact with the
people than any other official in the Govern
ment, and full and fair expression of their
preference should be had The polls is the
proper method to ge. this. To tina polls then

Why is it?

We are asked why it is that the Northern
Lscofoco leaders are so averse to having the
Southern traitors coerced" into obedience
to the laws, aud why they a.e so anxious to
make concessions on 30 large a scale 40
to induce these Traitors to disband and re-
turn to their sllegiance7 The reasons are
plain. The Northern Locofooos for years
have been in partnership with the Traitors

cy to nationalizs Slavery; have had "ths
spoils" under two administrations mainly

The Surrender of Fort Sumpter.

Fers Sumpter is to be surrendered
given up--but absolutely surrendered with
all its arms and amuniriens of war. This
humiliation will be deeply felt BY the Amer.
lean people, but there is now no alte rnative.
That newspaper great man, Maj. Anderson,
has layed behins his guns and saw the rebels
erect battery after battery. until now they
cover him all over. 1t would require 10 900
men, and 1000 lives to reinforce Fort Sump-
ter. The advantage to be gained ia not worth
the sacrifice. What do we want with Fort
Sumpter? 1t is placed at the mouth of
Charleston Harbor to protect the city, and
the city being now 10 the hands of the rebels
it becomes useless. Little doubt now re-
mains that Maj. And erson is traitor tc his
country. If so, he is the worst that ever liv-
ed. Before the Inauguration all his dispatch-
es informed our Govsrnmsn. that he did not
need Endorsements and supplies-now be
fore the Administration is three weeks old be
is out of provisions, and asks to be re-infero
ed, or says he mus. surrender. The Governs
ment investigates the affair, and ascertains
that he cannst be reinforced without the as
sistance OF an iAmense armament which
would necessarily inYolye the nation in an
immense expense, and result in the loss of
many valuable lives. Why did Maj Ander-
son permit himself to be surrounded When
the enemy commenced erecting batteries
around Fort Pickens Lieut.. Slemmer notified
chem that if they did not stop he would fire
on them, and the work was stopped, Maj.
Andsrson's conduct will not compare fayora.
bly, with that Of Lieut.. Slemmer.
Again, why did Maj. Anderson allow the
regulars to withdraw from the Fort as their
time run cut, when he had the power to re-
tain them in service, and when he knew that
the services of every man was important. II
Anderson is traitor at all, the abandonment
of Fort Moultrie was part of the plot, and
he has been in the employ of the South all
the time We have been engaged in making
him grea. man. We hope he may be able to
clear himself of the suspicion that now rests
upon him. Time will tell what he is, and we
will rot absolutely: condemn him until we
bear more.
