Many good jokes are told concerning Mr.
Ritcbie's visit 10 Washington on the 9TH of
March. The correspondent of the Baltimore
Patriot thus speaks of MIR. RS interview
with the man whose election he once predict
ed would prove curse 10 the country:
"Mr Richie approached The old General
with very courtly and obseqnious air, and
in tones Of Establishment, offered the incense
Of his aduation. lie canhidly ontessed that
he had seen, with fear and trembling, his en-
trance on the duties Of Chief Magistrate
but he now must say, that his administration
had covered himself and his country with
uniadiDg glory. There was only one thing
might be venture 10 say il? The Cur
rency Blli-he could not-no, he would not
believe General jackson would defeat such
measure.
''At this the Old Hero's eyes flashed with
Indignation. He broke out upon Richie
thus - You know nothing aboat the cur
rency, sir You don't understand il
hen you understand the currency, il will
be lime enough for you to give an opinion -

object Of his fulsome flauery, must have

the Sih of March says "we are fallen on

atoms o! commerce. we are called upon
to record several extensive failures in>
