Republican manager of the small Offices in this
district, has just been perpetrated in the town OF
Ferdinand. in this county. Col O. NJ Allen,
we understand. has secured the management Of
the petty post Offices in this locality. and It's thus
he seeks TO punish the people tor rot voting foI
his cotton inflated honor for Congress last year
Ferdinand, it il known is uDfnchingly Demo
cratic, but one Republican vote being east at the
precinct. Mr.. }. b. Gotham has been postmas-

deprving the citizens of Ferdinand of post-of-
fee, will not deprive them of their intelligence,
or prevent their reading Democratic documents.
