We have received two Or three commu-
nica'ions from delegates in the recent con
vention in the Sixth Congressional district,
representing both sides Of the controversy
between the friends Of Judge Norton
md 1lr. Cock, which satisfy US that there
Eas really no occasion for q want Of llnr-
nony among TIC Republicans of the dis
aict, and that the disagreement will be as
short-1iscd as 1t Was grsuudless and uucx-
rectcd. The wltule controversy arose
from question whether the platform
Should Ire adopted ocf1re Or after the bal
3oting for candidates Judge Norton's
friends, who were aware that they Ind u
majority, deemed the proposition to vote
On the resolutions first, an imputation On
Tic sounducss Of their Republican faith
and 1hat Vi their candidate, and hence rc-
fused to depart from the usual order Of
business. The Ii Sale coucty delegates
thercupcn withdrcw, but made no other
nomination.
The platform finally adopted By the Con-
@eption, which We publish below, is surely
good enough for any patriot to stand upon,
and they are precisely the principles which
Judge Norton cntertains. We have reason
to know That the Presidents proclamation
meets his fullest concurrence, and if my
Republican il the Sixti, District cannot be
Satisfied will that he must be hard to suit.

Amongst the many accomplished off :
GERS ~ho have been called into position,
and surround the indefatigable Post
Master General, none stand mere promi-
nent nor have gained more popularity in
the discharge Of their varied duties than
hon. John A. kasson, iirst assistant in
that department. He is blessed with
prepossessihg appearance, p, lishcd man
ners and gentlem4hly dcmeanor, and the
courtesy with which he attends 70 the
innumerable, and. to the cusual obssry or,
vexatious applications and intrusions up-
Oh his time and patience, is the subject of
general remark. Ever at his post, and
possessed OF an extraordinary ability for
business, and a comprehensive know ledge
OF the complicated machinery of Post
Office affairs, he is enabled to dispatch
business with degree OF case to himself
which seems Incredible. Few men OF his
age can be found who could fill his posi-
ton and discharge it's duties with the
same advantages TO the Government. He
Is withal an ardent Republican and was
amongst the most active in the nomina-
tioa of President Lincoln, aud his elee-
uon. lie ~, therefore, as might be ex-
peeted, Al enthusiasts supporter Of his
Observation-Disclosures in his
hostility TO traitors at home and rebels in
the field. The future of MIR. kasson 10
full OF promise. He is destined to fill q
large space in the political arena, one
which We hope will be wider field for
his varied scquirements--non which can
however, reflect more credit upon him nor
bis capacity, But we trust ii will be less
arduous and more remuneratire--GM Mead

WOLF. - We heard strange stories
Thursday last, of children being frightened
by "bear, that morning, when out after
berries in the vicinity Of the Ceme&ery.
Later, a gentleman, informed us that in
passing the same place he found prairie
wolf in the road, which not only stood his
ground. but snapped at him when he ap-
preached. Being without arms Of any
kind, he Ras obliged to turn cut and go
around the beast.--We hear of another
wolf being almost equally bold, further
