NO LONGER ANY EXCUSE FOR BEING
WITHOUT THE MAILS.

W LIE MAllJD.
HAVING recently returned from the South,
am well aware Of the great Inconvenience to
which the Southern people are subjected on ac-
count of lack of mail facilities. This is, TO a
very great extent, owing to the oath with which
contractors are required to comply, there being
but few men at the South who can take it. Hav-
ing conferred with the proper authorities, land
obtained their approval | find that this diff
Guilty can be obviated and the mails established
upon every Route at the South, and at the high
est rates admissible for the people of either the
North or the South. Being a national Union
man, (late of North Carolina by Which | mean
one that is alike opposed to the heresies Of the
extremists North and South, can take this OATH
and thus form the connecting link between the
Southern people and the United States Govern
ment. This propose to do, and to establish
mail on every Route at the South now destitute
of the same as follows:
Any person who is DESTROYS of becoming a
contractor should address me at once, stating
the Route or Routes for which he may be desir-
Gus of contracting there state the extreme points
10 be connected, which OF course, should De on
some Route heretofore established ! will then
contract for such Route or Routes in my own
name, and let the parties have them upon salts
factory terms.
1t would be a source of much qualification to
to the Southern people. Their attention is there
fore respectfully called to this matter. AS | am
not required to cut down, through competition,
it would doubtless be to their interest to make
speedy application, before any modification IS
made in the test oath, in order that they may OBJ
tain these Routes at the highest rates admissible.
Persons confding to my care may rely upon
fair and prompt dealing. All accepted bids will
be entered upon the books of the Post Office
Department, where they will be open for inspec-
ton.
All letters relative to the foregoing should be
addressed to BRYAN TYSON,
Box 1000, Washington, ID. c.

ward bill with a marked copy of paper contain
ing same, directed as above.
