POST MASTER GENERAL.

In this number of the Magazine will be found a re-publication, from the Globe, of the able and triumphant vindication of the official conduct of Major Barry, in the administration of the affairs of the General Post Office. Major Barry has been assailed with unexampled virulence and injustice by the whole corps of the opposition press. His conduct has been misrepresented by men of whom the public had a right to expect better things, and while his judicious management was securing to the general government an increased revenue of one hundred and forty thousand dollars more than ever it had received before from this Department, it was boldly asserted by honorable senators, by men who knew what they asseverated to be false, that the Department was bankrupt, and could not answer its ordinary business drafts! While the Post Master General was increasing the transportation of the mail more than eight hundred thousand miles a year, beyond any former period, it was alleged by the same men that he had retarded its progress and introduced disorganization, where before all was order and system. But the objects of these calumniators were sufficiently apparent to defeat the mischief their tales of slander were intended to effect. The public saw by whom these stories were originated, and by whom circulated—it was a portion of that political currency, which composes the principal part of the circulating medium of the federal party, and as such, was nailed to the counter by the honest Republicans of the country. Never, before, has the General Post Office been under such perfect organization as that to which it has been reduced by its present head, and so long as it is conducted in the excellent and advantageous manner which now characterizes its management, it will retain the confidence and receive the support of the public, maugre all the efforts of dishonest and disappointed politicians.—Republican Magazine.
