From rh? mvssstieatinns wc have made, we are ??u?0ed Uiat the fault is not icitA St* . und we are convinced too that the Po?l (iftice m this City is seldom in fault. A. a general thing, our paper* are promptly and properly distributed and tnuumitte.1 from thi* city.'houeh we cannot my that this is always the ca.?. The fault appears to lie in Albany, Philadrl phia, Boston ami other diitributint office..

In answer to a letter sent by us u few duys since, Mr Watson, the Post Muster at Albany, inform* US that here die. no delay shall occur ut that place which industry and attention can prevent, and that ha has just put on additional force, in sjrderthal the papers may not for die future be kept over Rl here tofore Irom 12 to 20 hours.

The Extraordinary Doing*, at Saltimore lYliat they mean. Probably if the whole Three .Millions of Voters in the United States had been -.-paratcly asker1 a month since to indicate their first choice fur Prosident and Vice President, riot one hundred would have designated Jmnes K. Polk for the first office, not filty would have dreamed of Gco M. Dallas lor either. And yet we find these two, by Convention machinery, seriously presented to tho Ameiican People us Candidates for the two highest stations in their gift! That they will be supported by the entire purty enginery, though not by the whole party strength, we sec no reason to doubt. That they can be elected seems hardlj credible, ami yet the Ten Millions of Texas Bonds, the Millions on Millions of granted acres of Texas lands, held in the United Stute.?, will doubtless make themselves formidably felt in the coming contest. Every nerve will be strained to array the ultra Slavery prejudices of the South ?the new fanatics enlisted by Calhoun vV, Co. for a crusade to extend and consolidate Human Bondage?in favor of this ticket, and doubtless ?with some success. Wc expect to see it carry kb. Louisiana (wherein the next Election is to he ? held,) audio malte itself felt even in Whig Ken. y tucky; while Tennessee will be contested by it with the energy of desperation. Personally, the ticket is weak enough ; but Polk and Dallas arc both original, unqualified Annexationists, and this will atone lor all dcticienccs with the riders of the Texas hobby. This will sweep Missis? sippi and Alabama of course ; South-Caroiinu is theirs by prescription ; and they will endeavor? unsuccessfully, wc are confident?V) overthrow the Whig ascendency in North Carolina and Georgia. In the remaining Stales, with two or three exceptions, the question of Annexation will operate 6trongly against them ; but this, to the Di6unionists who devised the plot, is a secondary consideration. If they can in this contest but lay firmly and strongly the basis of a Southern Con. federacy, of winch Tcxub ahull form ;i part, and the diffusion und fortification of Slavery the ruling idea, they will not take to heart the defeat of their candidates in the Union. But wo hud intended to speak rather of the causes which led to the strange result at Balti? more. They are these : In the first place, Mr. Calhoun and his small but devoted band of adherents have been determined from the outset to defeat Van B?ren at all haz? ards?procuring the nomination for the Cire.it Nullifier if possible, but defeating Van B?ren any how. Tennessee came half way into this plot ut an early day?nominating .Mr. Polk lor Vice President, but expressing no preference for Presi? dent?an indication, in the existing state ol things, equivalent to a declaration of hostility to Van Burcn's nomination. South Carolina began by caviling at the time cf holding the Convention, (which was deferred from November to May to please her,,1 then at the manner of choosing Dele gates, and finally refused to go into the Conven? tion at all, after the choice of Delegates in most of the States evinced that there was no chance for Calhoun. Georgia was the only Slate carried by his supporter-,. In North Carolina, the b.itiie was nearly a drawn one, but still the Van Buren men had the lead there, and were decidedly suc? cessful in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Missouri was firm as a rock in Ins cause, und re? mained so to the last. Virginia instructed her Delegates to support him. Kentucky named her own Col. R. M. Johnson. Maryland and Dela? ware indicated no preference. Such was the state of things presented by the Loco-r'oco Con? ventions of the Slave States, while ail the Free States expressly declared lor Van Buren. Ii seemed to us, as it seemed to his friends, that he could not fail of obtaining the nomination. Such was the aspect of affairs when the Tex? as intrigue was set on loot by Upshur, Gilmer, Tyler, Waiker Co. with a muliplticity of pur? poses, one of the most immediate of which was the overthrow of Van Buren. The first t ,io did not live to witness its success; Tyler was fooled into the belief that it would be fish to his net, und it wa6 pressed with zeal, assiduity und money._ Calhoun if not one ol" the earliest contrivtr.- r- adi. ly came into a measure so favorable to all his designs; Dtck Johnson raised the Texas flag in Kentucky'and Polk in Tennessee.cach having his own ends to subserve. Van Burcn's letter against Annexation under existing circumstances ensured his overthrow. He might still have been r.oaii nated, if all the Northern Delegates had been stanch, but his defeat would have been over, whelming. A Texas candidate would have been nominated against him, and he would have got no Southern vole but that of Missouri. His desLruction was nearer thun his friends ap. prehended. Some of the Western Delegates wi rt sjarmed by the ?ortentfl of defeat, and drew tU to Casa. A few Northern men went with thcin; dnd the South (Cass having declared very broad ly for Annexation) centred upon him. Still \ an Ituren had a majority of the whole number of Dr Icgates who dared not openly oppose him and his nomination secured certain. But there was another undercurrent. Pennsylvania had in i-tructcd her Delegates for Van Buren, but many of them were at heut averse, and cherished a secret hope of securing tho nomination for Bu? chanan, who had taken ground for Annexation. Accordingly, though they voted for Van Buren ? n the first, ami some of them on two or three other ballots, they took catc to vote beforehand for the rule requiring tiro.thirds of all the voter tonnke a nomination?thus bl-xking the door against him. The moment this rule was adopted his fate was scaled, and lie ought to have been withdrawn after the second ballot, or never.? But he we.s pushed on to utter discomfiture; his nominal friends hut secret opponents dropped of! by platoons to Ca.-s; and it seemed obvious that Cass would be nominated when an adjournment was carried on Tuesday evening. Probably another ballot then would have carried him, as Kentucky. Louisiana, and some other Slates wen prepared to go over to him. But the Convention ttdj-iunitd for the night, and caucusing began.? The Van Buren men, themselves defeated, were i-iill one hundred r-trong, and able t> defeat any nomination, (hough not to make one. They were fully resolved that Coss (or rather the backen ol Cuss) should not triumph. Their best man to pitch on was Silas Wright; but he would no! consent, and the Annexationists would not take h in. Next i:i ordcrobviously stood .Mr. Buchanan who might have made a good rim, perhaps rcstor ing their battle in Pennsylvania ; but the double dealing of his friends had rendered him deeply obnoxious. The South had no feeling lor Cars. .:nd had only used him as the best weapon to beat Vau Buren ; they were now ready to discard him f >: any more devoted partisan. Johnson would j have run wi ll, but he is mentally and physical!) a wreck, and no titter for President than a child. Calhoun they could not touch : and at last Pulk was hit on. lit: was one ol trie earliest and mort determined Texas men. and so aeccptuhie to ihc South; the Delegation from his State had sup ported Cars throughout, but they had never pro Icssed to be lor Van Buren, and so bud not cheat ed him. The Calhoun interest could not claim him as their man; the Van Buren men could swallow him, though v.i'h some choking, and iltey would not lake C'ass. So Po!k was, at the last moment, most ungraciously accepted by the New. York men, though net till they had ex? hausted every effort lor Van Buren, and asked leave to withdraw from the Convention, which was denied them. And so James K. Polk? certainly not more than a thiid rale politician? who never devised a measure nor siid a thing worth remembering?a tolerable stump speaker, with a liberal How of words, but rather too much of a buffoon?who got in Governor of Ten i s>re in '39 because the VVhigs ran a candidati ?a ho could not s.icak and would not drink?but was beaten on the stump, and turned out in a fair face-to-i'uce contest in 1841, by James C. ! Jonts, then a young man tinUici! and unknown. I and beaten again by a larger majority in '4.3?is j to he the candidate of a once powerful party for j President! Certainly the man beaten twice in succcsr-ion by a stripling of his own State, would | seem hardly the man to pit against. Henry Clay ! But be this us they choose. The nomination of Mr. Dallas for Vice Presi? dent is of a piece with that of Col. Polk. He is a Philadelphia lawyer of foir talents, who was once in the V. S. Senate, and thence was sent on the Russian Mission, pocketing ?18,000 for a very brief exclusion to St. Petersburg!}. Since then, he has not been afflicted with the cares ol 'jflice, and would not now have been thought ot for Vue President hut for the fact that he was conspicuous at an Anni xation Meeting in Pinta (ielplua some weeks ago. This, although he got but 13 out of 260 votes on the first ballot, and Gov. Fairfield of Maine had 10.5, gave him the nomination the moment it was staled in Conven. lion. Such ia the Texas ticket, and such the laby. rinth of chances through which it has emerged into being. Can it be difficult to predict its late ? O" Our Philadelphia correspondent has a ru. mor that Dallas refuses to run for Vieo Presi? dent, but wc don't credit it. Dallas is not too I iree to run so?he must run. If the Locos can't make him stand, the Whigs must send a Coin mittee and train him. "Wc arc not to be cheated out of a contest. ? If Dallas should decline, we suggest that Polk and Tyler clut; their forces and toss a cop? per to see which shall run for President and which lor Vice. The second office is not so ur duousor so ill-paid that it should go a begging in this \ray?especially since there is no danger o: any Loco having to til! it. O* We have a lot of squibs sent us poking fun at the late Loco-Foco catastrophe at Baltimore. They are clever, but wc haven't the heart to pub. lish them. Wc respect the sorrows even of our adversaries. That application of the old proverb about ' a pig in a poke.' is too bad. We can": allow 'poke' to rhyme with "choke" or ' dis solving in smoke,' in our columns, for three days yet. ' When things is solemn, treat 'em ?solemn.' Or as the wood-sawyer in 'Char? coal Sketches' more precisely aphorizes?" A ? in^n in grief is like a piler in a cellar: if 'you don't look our, you'll crack his cocoa.? ? M'nd how you chuck." So the unsympathizing I comments of some hard-hearted ft How on the postponement of the Great Ratification Meeting in the Park to give time for the Fan Buren As? sociations to become Polk Clubs, or stalks, or what not, coupled with an allusion to the rather famous distich, ' And it" we cannot niter Ihmes, 1>> llieurge I] we'll change their MJMg, sir!' must be suppressed. The folks around Tamilian v. who guihered there on Thursday c veiling u'-.d lormally, grimly, savagely approved the nomi? nation of Polk und Wright, want time to let themselves down by degrees to Polk and Dallas. Meantime, the anti-phlogUtic treatment should oc rtgioly enforced, with cold baihs and mild bev? erages.
