Dining the administration of Mr. Johnson, the radical congress lacked on to the appropriation bills their infamous election 1 iws, with a view to coerce the Pies'.dent to approve.— No ,v , because the Democrats propose to reach the Fraud in the White H >use with the same kind of a dose, to secure the repeal of those laws, these Pharisaical patriots cry out revolution. Frye, Republicon, the other duy in Congress, dragged into the discussion the Okalona, Mississippi, Southern States, just now employed in manufacturing capital for the use of Radicals.

The petition we signod two years ago was for the- consulship. That appointment you received—to Turk you know. Ami we have no objection to the jpost office arrangement, only we should have preferred the change in a change of administration, or iy response to your own petition, that you might stand upon your personal popularity and merit. In this way the idea that “political honor,” of which you delight to prate, was thrown to the dogs, would not tveu be dreamed of.
