Jobe Campbell, Postmaster General.
The Erie Observer says ; Perhaps no man
connected with the Government oceupieg such
n laborious position, or one which requires so
much industry, tact and knowledge of details,
tis the Post Master General. To
_hint and his
subordinates are committed the - interests" of
more people—personal and' pecuniary—than
to all the other departments combined; and
with a country so ex • nsrve as Its, a popu a-
Con so varied, it would be almost miraculous
if there were not complaints, some just,, but
more unjust, against the mail service of the .
country. Hence no man can fill the position
of Postmaster General without abuse ; and
Judge CAMP/3ELL has had his share of it,
though deserving less, we candidly- believe,
than any of his illustrious predecessors since
the days of AIMS KENDALL. We are pleased;
therefore, when we see this truth acknowledg
ed, and especially when, as in the following,
it is acknowledged by a political opponent.—
The following is - from the Washington Cor
respondence of the Philadelphia North Smeri
can, a paper that has consistently opposed the
men and measures of the Democracy:
• "It is due to Judge Campbell to say, that
in range oftibscriraTtion ana.opportnnity
here, now datiiig back some years, no man
has administered the vast, difficult and vexa
tious machinery of the Post Office Department
with a more earnest desire'to serve the best
intereSts of the country, with a more compre
hensive grasp of its neec,.sities and obli ations
with more good will from the immense multi
tude of subordinates scattered over more than
three millions of square miles of territory, or
with more admitted practical success. The
office is one wholly thankless in itself, for the
compensation of nominal honor is by no means
corresponding to the sacrifices incurred by one
who, like Judge Campbell, abandons a lucra
tive profession, and tasks his mind and body
by an unflagging devotion to every public and
personal duty. Every Omission and error of
every one of five and twenty thousand Post
masters, to say nothing of the numberless
_Mishaps by railroads, steamboats and stage
coaches, which transport the mails, is visited
upon him, just as if he were übiquitous and
all-powerful. There are some political dis
tinctions which do not pay for the wear and
tear which they necessitate, and this is the
most conspicuous 'example among them. No
journeyman wood-sawyer can aill:d to ex
change places with a Postmaster General ; and
even a drudge like myself, might well inqiiate
about accepting a dignity so cushioned with
thorns."
AIEP - The editor of the Ripler (Miss.) ~4.€1
verti.yer makes out a: strong case for the con
sideration of such of the old-line Whigs as
baVe refused all Connexion with - the Know
Nothings. - Ile says': "If, as the leaders of the
Know Nothing party now assert, and we be
lieve truly, the issues
.between Whigs and
Democrats no longer exist; if they have pass
ed away, and there is now-no matter of dis
pute bet Ween them, why may they not unite
and act together as brethren?. - Can any one
tell? If one of our churches were to lay aside
its Organization, and cease to exist as,a, body, -
surely the members of the dissolved church
would have a right to worship in any neigh
boring church they might prefer, or even to
be.:cone members of it. Yet how the order
persecutes a Whig who prefers Democracy
to it."
Tice Real Issues.—Whittever issues have ex-
isted in former Presidential contests in this
—eountryl-the following statement-of-the-present- ,
position of - parties, by the _Yew Htven Register,
is as correct as it is clear and concise: - -
There are practically but two parties in
the'present contest—the Democratic, which is
guided by the obligations of the Constitution
'—which seeks to render "equal and exact jus
tice to all men"—which . protects every man
in the enjoyment of his religious opinions—
'Which leaves to each State the arrangement
of its own domestic affairs—which endeavors,
to cement the bonds of the Union, by a frater
nal feeling among the several States—and
which would make our country an asylum for
the oppressed of all nations. The opponents
of the Democratic party are of all creeds and
colors—and have two well -defined character
istics ; one of which is the persecution of men
for their religious belief—(a hideous spirit)—
and the Other, a determination to dictate to
the people of other sections of the country on
the subject of slavery, or break up the Union - I --
They are now urging the-people •on to- civil"
war in Kansas—throwing obstacles in the way
of carrying out the laws of Congress—denoun
cing the,Constitution as the way of their in
fernal schemes—and doing their best to destroy
all fraternal harmony among the people of the
different States. It will not take a patriotic
voter long to determine which party he ought
to support.
zr...Autong the resolutions adopted at a
Democratic, Convention recently held in Owen
county, Indiana, was the following:
"Resolves - That that party which proclaims,
through its authorized leaders, • Sharpe's ri
fles as a 2norat agent superior to the, Bible,'
`.Oro• con-stitution a$ a coreinnd with (kWh awl
a league with hell,' and 'Let the Union slide,'
is but beginning the work which they would
accomplish had they the power—a dissolution
of the Union."

umn s of our grave and respectable cotewporary,
the Charleston., Courier, we find a paragraph
stating that a woman recently obtained a di
vorce from hei husband because he had a bald
head, which he concealed by a wig during the
period of urging his Matrimonial suit and the
consummation of the bargain. There was no
harm in having the wig-on, but there was in
concealing the fact that it Was a wig, and
hence the divorce was properly applied for and
justly granted: It may be said that she wig

tr6s'...We see there is a new song by Balfe,
called The first Kiss. Is there not some de
gree of danger-.in such a title? For instance,
what would a shopman think, and how would
he behave, if a pretty young lady went up to
him, and smilingly said, "If you please, sir,
I want you to give me The first hiss?"
The Altar and th , : Tomb.--A marriage took
1a.4N3 a short time since, in New 'Orleans, La.,
at 7o'clock iu the evening, but the bride was
taken suddenly ill, and died at 9 o'clock, so

Perennial Massacre
A Warning and a Reeninmendation--The
mortality- among children born in American
cities, bears au immeasurably higher ratio to
the whole mortality than in any of the cities,
even the most unhealthy, in the Eastern
Hemisphere. The deaths resulting from im
proper medical treatment, and lack of prompt
attention and care, are higher among the adult
- lotion itz tW ,hur ,he
popu ..is country-, than in any other
country, savage or civilized. Throughout
these United States of America {God bless
tbein Ir there is not one household in a.hun
dred that has not its graves.
People maywell befiin to take this solemn
fact to heart, and ask, is this always to be ?
We justly pride ourselves on our superior
in
telligce, but is it not humiliating,to us to be 1
obliged to acknowledge that through our own
oversight and carelessness, life has become
shorter and More uncertain among us than
with any other people ? Let us pause a mit
ment to inquire how this awful Mortality is
produced.
The women of this country are proverbial
for the implicit reliance which they place on
professional-skill in all the diseaSes and ail-
ments to which they are subject. For reasons
which we do not purpose here, to discuss, the
inevitable consequence
consequence is, that women are al
*twin, oearly•so, and — their children, in
whom the effects of that illness are perpetna-,
ted, are constitutionally affected, so that for
them prolonged life, in a majority of cases, is
a sheer impossibility, short of a miracle.
Again, the extremes_ of temperature in this
country are solar apart, and variations occur
so sue en y, t iat wit tout some means o
maintaining, the system in a well-balanced
condition, that is, without some means .of pre
serving the blood pure, and keeping it at an
equable degree of heat, standing good health
is utterly beyond attainment.
Then comes the momentous question,
where shall we obtain that grand "desidera
tum" which is to. avert illness, or to remove it
in all these eases? - Innumerable 'nostrums
have been proposed, and the more high-sound
ing their pretensions, the more complete has
been their failure. The only universal reme
dies for disease that have stood the test of
time, that have served alike the lofty and the
lowly; that have elicited the unqualified en
comiums of the highest medical talent ; that
have received the approval and patronage of
Royalty, even ; that have laid three Continents
under obligation; that have never yet been
pronounced inefficacious by thOse who used
them ; that have never yet
,tailed. to benefit the
sufferer ; are Holloway's Pills and Ointment.
This is no high-flown and exaggerated enlOgy ;
it is a plain statement of fact. We have no
interest in puffing Professor Holloway obis
medicines. They need no such equivocal re
commendation as that. We have an interest
in the welfare of humanity and so has he. Ile
is a cosmopolitan (a citizen of the world) his
sympathies afre etinfined . to no clime or race.
Every man is his neighbor, and therefore he
feels bound to do good to him its far as lie.

Of all blessings—HEALTH.: His medicines
have already met with a most enviable ap
preciation in this country. But they cannot
be too widely diffused. 'Every man and wo

and woman should have these Pills for com
plaints of the system, and this Ointment for
local afflictions, such as wounds and ',sores.—
Every family should be furnished with both.
How- could better provision he made for the
year just begun than to provide against the
misfortunes of ill health - and the thousand and
one other evils that follow-in its train.—X. Y.
S'unday Mercury.
Just so.—The, Sandy Hill (N: Y.) Herald,
commenting on the call for a convention by
the Gerrit Smith Abolitionists, very truthfully
remarks :
"But the fact is, and Gerrit knows it, the
Black Bepublicans don't want to kill slavery
at all. As well - kill the"goose that lays - the
golden egg. Do you think the old Indian
would shoot the old she wolf, so long as wolf
scalps brought a premium at the agency? No
more do these Black Republicans want slavery
killed - , for then 'there would be no more - scalps'
for them."
