We understand that Cresco has has been
made postal town, so far as the appoint.
ment Of P. NJ. can make it such. Who
has been appointed P. NJ, we are unpre.
parud to say, positively, but madam rumor
says that our worthy friend Bradley Cha.
pin in the lucky man. We think this ap
pointment was ''e,ninently fit to have been
made" and that his administration of the
office will give full satisfaction to oil par.
ties.
Rumor also says that W. N. Burdick has
been appointed p NJ. ut Cresco Socially
Mr.. Burdick it very good kind of a man.
But we hold it to be the duty of any adj
administration, to appoint none to Office but
Its friends; and if any are holding posi-.
tons, no matter how Insignificant, and do
not give cordi Il support to the measures
. of the administration, let their places be
filed by those who do That MIR. Burdick
who is a radical Of the most extreme sort,
should get I'm appointment over a trle
supporter of the administration, and one
every way capable and efficient too, is re-
markedly foolish, whether the act Of the
President or Post Master General.
