Partisan discretion might have dictated that the expenditure be made in some doubtful State. but honest administration dictated that it be made where the necessities of the people required the service. and where it has been made. If all departments and branches of the Government will take care that the true and substantial interests of the people are as zealously studied and as carefully promoted as they have been by the PostOffice Department. we shall have small cause to fear the effects of the governmental machinery. The famine in Ireland and the disturbed political state of some of the continental nations it is predicted will conspire to bring to our shores a flood of immigration in the near future which will be without precedent. There is no longer room for them in the East. They must seek homes in the Westin the new States and great Territories.
