A PsfSoiiaI Sfatter. y o !.

In this District 81 a.vote 10 make one of
the 1NTELIIGENoER men Postmaster f0f!
! the city Of Wheeling. There Is no Ques-
tion about this. II Gott Is elected, or
goes the head OF the present Postmaster In
this City. Wheeling Igisterg ys8torlay.
The above Is one Of several illusions Of
the same character that have appeared in
tho Register during the past four or five
months. Two or three months ago the
Register had ock.apd.bullstory connect
ing US withithe post office, and asserted
that Gov. STEVENSON was then in Wash
ington fixing the thing up, to turn out.
Capt. RAw1IEei and Likewise to turn out
Capt. stNoEEToN. the Assessor. Time,
Ond a card from Coy. STEVENSON, proved
hhs whole story d; iiss from beginning 10
end; md sdcIf %t'no$ pronounce tic par.
agraph above quoted. We have been dis.
posed 10 allow intimations Of this charac!
ter 10 pass unnotlced, and should do SO
nov if they affected no one but ourselves
They are however, aimed at Gen. Corr,
and their very transparent purpose IS to
indu5e tie present postmaster aud his
friends to support the Democratic rath-
cr than the Republican candidate, on
the presumption that II this district
was represented by Democrat, the pres.
kcnt. postmaster would be less exposed to
rsnggal tthn II IT %as represented BY d
Republican. We presume Capt Raw
LING and his friends understand the Regis.
I.tSr's game and do not need to 9e told what
| II is; but there may be Republicans whom
1.-The 1NTEL4EqENqEn has 4 not. been so for
tpn0te as 10 please in all things, who
Knight be so unwilling to sec any Of its
editors made postmaster, that they would
sacrifice their candidate for Congress
rather than incur any such shocking risk
Iby his election. Ifany such there be, We
respectfully ask their present attention 70
