THE Posi- OFFICE AGAIN.-TO show
what John Cessna's conduct in the post
office embroglio, in this place, is though
of by our neighbors, we clip the follow
ing from our exchanges:
We cannot understand how man
can ask the people to be allowed to rep
resent them, and promise to represent
them, and then turn around and Dsisrep-
resent them. 1t has become too COM
mon within the last few years, for our
Senators and Representatives after cleo
ton, to entirely ignore their constitu-
ents, and engineer in their own inter-
ests, for denomination. In fact it is
becoming ua6edra6Ie and the only way
to put an end to the evil, is, for the
organs of the party, to denOunce such
outrages. This matter has been
brought home to US in our own district.
In the town of BEDFORD, the citi-
gems ballotted for the postmastership of
that place, and decided in favor of
Mr.. Russell. We know nothing perso-
nally of Mr.. Russell, but take it for
granted, that he is a gentleman well
qualified for the position, or the citizens
would not have selected him; but
" s4Sit W d. LuC VI tllC pGOPACo
preston. In place of carrying out the
will of the citizens of Bedford, our
Representative, Hon. John Cessna, had
MAJOR WASHABAUGH, appoin-
ted postmaster, and Mr.. Russell, set
aside. This we deem an outrage, that
admits of no palliation. WHO'S Major
Washabaugh, that he must be thrust
upon the citizens Of Bedford, to the
exclusion of Mr. Russell? Why, sir, he
is a worn out politician, who has had an
eye open for office ever since he came
to Majority, and who has never had
sufficiently the confidence Of the people
but once, to secure their support What
was the object of Mr.. Cessna, In
misrepreSenting, the people of Bedford,
by the appointment Of Washabaugh ?
It is well known that Major Washa-
baugh heretofore has been the invet-
crate political enemy of John Cessna.
Mr. Washabaugh therefore became Mr..
Cessna's supporter last fall because he
thought he might be fed from The
crumbs that fell from the s'Iieh mans
tahle.n Major Washahaugh no doubt
was promised Mr.. Cessna's support for
theStateSenate, Notwithstanding ithe-
came necessary for John Cessna to give
him this office to keep him in trim for

The town of Bedford affords strik-
ing example of the manner in which
the radical office-holders regard the
will of the people, even the radical
people. The people of Bedford held
an election for postmaster at that
place, and the choice resulted in a Mr..
Russell, former clerk in the office, by
nearly two hundred majority. 1t was
therefore considered by all parties that
Mr.. Russell's appointment was fore
gone conclusion. But John Cessna,
disregarding the expressed will of his
own party friends, had Mr.. Washa-
baugh appointed. Cessna's record is
known to all, aud the people who vo-
ted for him should not complain if he
ignores them in the distribution of his

1870. If Hon. John Cessna expects TO
nave the way for his denomination and
election, by putting men in positions
against the will of the people, men
who do not retain the confidence of the
Republican party, he will find that he
has made great mistake.
Mr.. Cessna should remember that he
was barely elected after great efforts
by those who We're his first supporters,
and that he was expected to make
faithful reprl sentative and would car
ry out the will of his constituents,
Thus far he has entirely failed, ana
unless his conduct hereafter COMFORTS
more with the will of the people, those
who were his strongest supporters,
will entirely ignore him. One of the
strongest supporters Mr.. Cessna had
last fall was Jere Cook of the 'Reposi-
tory and his strongest foe previous to
the nomination was Ed Scull of Som
erset. Yet the other day, Ed Scull,
was supplied with good fat office, u
he lrould support him la 1870, zee suppose,
and Mr.. Cook was left out in the
cold" We do not know that Mr.;
Cook was an applicant, but he should
have received the appointmentwithout
asking for it.
If Mr.. Cessna desires a re-f0nlRdt1oll

than carrying out the expressed aotG q
