Whilst the Boston papers are so profuse in
their concentrations upon the mail contrac-
tors on the eastern route, for the prompt and
certain arrivals Of the mail at the appointed
season, tribute in which, as far as regards
the proprietors, we are heartily willing to
join, we canoot help expressing our regret
that notw outstanding the diligence in this de-
patment, it so happens that we are almost
regularly deprived Of receiving some of the
Boston papers every week, the Chronicle,
Patriot and Daily Advertiser coming most
regularly but the Centinel and other federal
papers are seldom received in due course, and
fequently not at all. Last Wednesday's
Centinel has been received only by small
number Of the subscribers in this town, and
none Of Satuyddy's Centinels had been receiv-
ed Yesterday, though they were due the day
beiore.--Friday's Palladium was not received
until Sabbath mornng-We have particular
lied the Boston papers, not that they come
more irregular than other southern and wes-
tern papers, but because there are more of
them taken in thi. town than any other. We
do not undertake to censure any one, for we
know not where the blame lies-but make
this statement, that those who are more i'm.
mediately concerned, may see TO it.-~ By
communication over the signature Of Senex,
The tirst page Of this days Gazette, it will
be seen that the same cause of complaint ex-
lists in otner places. If, upon investigation,
itshal turn out to be party maneuvre, to
prevent the circulation of correct information,
we can only say that ii is contemplate and
unjust IN the eXtreme--and in point OF moral
lty IS not whit better than that of a foot-pad.


We understand that in consequence Of the
deermination of our present Chief Magistrate

his present term of oflice--at meeting of fed
