In view of what has past, tho people of this placo do, most earnestly, present the following grounds upon which they nsk tho Mipon Mon of tho present mnil contractor, referred to, nnd the nppolnment of another: Tho failures of .'10th Dec, 1831, ami of atltli January '55, A:c, wro, in tho judg ment of tliu undersigned, unnecessary, and Inexcusable, and without tho shadow of n justifiable cause to sustain them. Tlio nrools nrtheso facts nro herewith furnished. In this connection, wo would most earnest ly call attention to tliu violation of f.o much of his contract as refers to a sufliclent num ber of good nnd serviceable mules or hors es; which we, tho undersigned, lieliovo have been needed in tho service, slnco tho present contractor entered upon his duties, proof of thts fact Is herewith furnished. Wo would hero state, that at and during tho days on which these failures occurred, men were pasting to and from llio interior, without any hindrance whatever. And we also beg to call your attention to the fact, that Ihu contractor does not rcsido on, or near this route, nnd therefore, is unacquainted with tho means required to keep up regular mail service to which extent ho has been, and is at this time, guilty of gross negligence. Upon these proofs and grounds, wo ask for the suspension of the present contrac tor, nnd nt the samo time, urgo tho appoint ment of Henry Christian, tho young man who formerly had charge of this service. In recommending Mr. Christian, wo feel that wo nro doing great ten ico lo this com munity because of hU qualifications for this service, which cntltlo .him to our es teem, nnd cordial support In this recom mendation of him, nnd request of you to reinstate him. Wo would further remark, that Mr. Chris tian will bo ready to give bonds, nt this placo, nt once, for tho faithful performance of this service. Loyal P. Ilrown, Wm. M. Hnrr, Henry G, Itro wu, M. F.
