NEW POST-MASTER GENERAL.

Many tributes have already been offered to the new Postmaster General for the zeal, energy and ability which he has displayed in the commencement of his official duties. The Federal Republican, of Baltimore,(which has changed proprietors) and the Delaware Gazette, have led the way in this course of approbation, The postmasters, also, who have had an opportunity of personal intercourse with the new Head of this Department have expressed themselves in flattering terms as to his official and private deportment. We trust the people generally will have cause to approve of the system of management which he is introducing; and that the fears of those, who suppose that his determination to correct abuses will draw upon him a degree of hostility too powerful to be opposed, will be found ungrounded. For our own parts, we entertain no doubt as to the ability, integrity and efficiency of his official concern.
