T. q. 4Heeti%g.-The Post Office Meeting
held week ago last evening was certainly
the l0udest meeting we ever attended in the
State. After calling j. NJ. OvERMAS, ESQ. to
the Chair, and appointing D. ALLEN, Esq.
Secretary, on motion the meeting proceeded
to take an informal ballot to designate the
victim, which action disclosed the startling
fact that something less than one-third of
those present were aspirants,-and when we
say that the School House was ja,nmed al
most to suffocation, our readers may perhaps
form some idea of the number willing to sac
rifice themselves for the benefit of the CON-
munity. The result showed that G. NJ.
HARRIS had SO votes, G. C. DEAN 81, and
the rest all varying from one to sixteen. AS
soon as the result was announced motion
was made to adjourn for two months, and the
question being called for by the Chair, the
ayes and noes were about equal in volume,
the Chair was unable to decide, and it being
impossible to divide the house on account of
every part being filled, the question was put
again. The yell that went up on the part of
the "ayes" was perfectly dealening, and was
prolonged till the voters were out of breath.
In the meantime the "noes" got a good
ready, and when their turn came went in
with will and for the life of us we could
not tell which side did make the most noise.
Both parties used their lungs, hands and feet
promiscuously in swelling the chorus. The
Chairman then very properly adjourned the
meeting, for it was evident to him, and every
body else present, that the whole affair as
being conducted was a mere farce.

Editors for p N's.-In looking over our
exchanges we see that several of our editorial
brethren are coming before the people asking
for their favor to enable them to secure the
appointment of Postmasters for their several
localities. Among these are the editor of the
Times, Cedar Rapids, Journal, Muscatinc,
Journal, Waukon, and Neacs, Mt Vernon.
This has set us laundering after the "Ioaves
and fishes" and if the citizens of Cedar Falls
think that we have done, or are doing, ANY,
thing deserving of their favor, and wish to
render their paper that substantial aid which
will place the GAZETTE upon permanent
foundation, they ca do so by securing for Us
the appointment of p. NJ. for this place.-Sen.

misled by some one as to part of the facts
concerning the transportation of whisky by
Mr.. Krkham from Cincinnati, notice of
which has been published in the CONNER
cial of that city, and now in your paper of
this date.
Mr.. Kirkham called on me some ten days
ago, with letter from Gov. Yates, of Illi-
nois, who said he was on his way to Gin
cinnati for the purpose of buying 4 900 bar
rels of whisky to be sent to Cairo, Illinois,
to be stored there until the blockade should
be raised, and desired to ascertain if would
permit the same to pass this port in case be
should make the purchase.
informed him that no promise of per-
mits for the future could be given to any
one.
He then informed me that he was per-
fectly willing to ship the whisky from Gin
cinnati direct to Cairo to the care of Mr..
SIoo Collector at that place, to remain in
his custody until it should be required for
sale in the Southern States. | told Mr..
Kirkham that with his letter froM Gov.
Yates, to his character, and with per-
mits from the collectors at Cincinnati and
Louisville. ] supposeds it could pass this
place. This is all the arrangement he made
with me.
Your article represents that had already
given him a permit-"Armed with tie
Governors letter and our Surveyors per-
NIT, Mr.. Kirkham succeeded in obtaining a
permit from the Surveyor of Cincinnati"
&c, &c.
"Oan Surveyor did not grant Hr. Klirkhans

BE- 1t will be remembered that we pub

sonable sentimen' The Vincennes Sun,
the editor of VIII doubt just such a
secession synpa.. az Marlin is repre-
scented to be, says that Marlin refused to GO
and would die defending himself, SC. The
truth of the matter is, that Marlin has prom
ised the people of Bloomington, not only to
refrain from talking treason, but to stay
upon his farm during the war. The Bloom

says sit is better to make a good citizen
out of him than to hang him"

State, and the happiness Of her psople-hy
dFenching the earth with the best blood of
her citizens-she may postpone, but cannot
avert the doom that will yet overtake the
conspirators. The government is moving
forward with the tread of fate, and however
the Confederate States struggle, and regard
less of every temporary success they may
achieve, the Stars and Stripes will yet float
over Richmond, Charleston, Mobile, Mem
phis aud New Orleans. Thus has it ever
been where Northern Legions marched upon
those of the South. The worlds history
teaches no palmer lesson.
Let those bold, loyal, and self-sacrlhcing
men in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee
who have steadfastly maintained their in
tegrity and refused to bow the knee to
Baal, take courage. They viii be strength
ered, and that right early. The people Of
the great North who have witnessed their
heroic struggle, have declared that they
shall be sustained, and, thank God, the
phrase Vor popuIi Vo1 Del, is not obsolete,
and the home of the brave shall yet be, as
it has been, the land of the free.
