For the Richmond Palladium.
Post Office Again land Finally.

1AosA stray cup III INC Nd0tC2t OF the
2sth inst, it would seem that sPublco' is un-
happy still but in What disturbed condition
PRO Boro Publico' finds himself, docs not so
clearly appear. Whether the villainous Davis
is of the nenre gender, is left for the decision
OF our amiable friend the Dr., but l, gently,
feelingsy, and with all due Difference suggest
that our present P. Ms neutrality in the
matter Of the Postoffice removal, as wei! as
the conspiracy of the heathen-caunibal Mr..
Croker, Mr.. B,inghurst and our Team, and
therefore given to much latc reading, the Hon.
N. G. who seems to be the red rag to raise the
ire Of our Pearl street Christian, are all in
the excited Imagination of the over pioas
pilgrim.
Not Davis. nor Captain, nor yet the NJ. G.
Influenced very materially the retention Or
removal of the Postoffice.
If'PubIico.' in one Of Lis leisure peripatetic
moments, will do himself the favor to call on
our tribulated fellow citizen, who owns the
old rookery, and, using his pathetic ap-
peals, can induce him to publish letter
written to him by Mr. Bringhurst, the Gener-
d Nail Agent for the State, the contents of
said epistie will probably administer spiritual
consolation to the Or. as we'll as to others in
like afflicted condition..
There is no use trying to contravene the
logic of events, public demands, or the me-
cessities Of war, nor yet the march Of civili-
sation in favor Of trade and womau's
rights. So here's our ~ my Covyl
Ash sometimes engage in the philaathro-
pic missionary labor of minis,ering to mind
diseased, and "plucking from the heart Q
rooted sorrow" permit me, Mr. Publico, to
suggest as prophylactic against any further
tribulation, that you call and take look at
the new Postofice arrangement, unsurpassed
in ncatness of design and artistic execution
BY anything of the sort in the State. It will
30 real ornament, as well as credit to our
diminutive commercial village of 'pumpkiss'
and hogs. And,if after such trial of our
remedy, "pale melancholy still remsins loop
ed upon my friends sadiered brow"-why
then, as desperate diseases demand heroic
practice, as dernier resort, I'll advise the
ostlaU Davis to get up Grand Rattle for the
contents of tho old Postofice shed, By issu-
ing, say twenty tickets, Of five cents each
and present them to PRO Bono Publico" and
the former disconyolate incumbent. This
will net Mr.Davis One Dollar, and tho recipi
snts Of the gift can sell out the tickets to th ei,
friends 1t Five Dollars each, or any Other
reasonable sum. with the understanding thai
after paying all expenses, the net proceeds
are 10 be invested in purchasing two pairs o.
boots for Publico-a pair of CATERS and q
! pair OF slippers for Isaac, and such Ike, &C.
, cording to the various less needs of those per
sons on West Main. who have to walk tina
seventy five miles, you know
And il these specifics should mot be founs
sufficiently remedial to induce healthy re
action, then, very reluctantly, I'd own m,
skill exhausted and turn 'Publico' over as o
an irreclaimable hardness Of heart and per
versisy Of spirit"
But in ono thing can but join my ecclesi
asticaf and accuminical protest with sPr
Boro Publico,' namely, in arming my perdu
Fable hostility to the Government of thi
Land of the Free and home of the Brave !
soiiing its proud cscutcheon by leasing tn
Lyceum Hall Building OF outlaws and heath
. ems, and thus patronizing, supporting an,
encouraging these pests OF humanity
While freely admit that but for the suS.
gestions of sPublico,' never would hav
: thought Of the outrage about to be perre.ra
ted-and thus I'm axar~ I ras nifcst want o
} inventive genius. T am none the less uude
the greatest obliga tions to my friend for tn
originality of tie sentiment, and am q
opinion that this community of typical Chris
tlanss to the latest generation will bless hi
name, and in "Choral union TO the skies,
: sing benedictions whenever "Publico'' is pro
nounced- SrxAH.
