ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE
EIETD


The editor the Richmond Whig pulls
up his shirt collar, tbrusts both hands in.
to his breeches pockets, screws up his
mouth and attempts TO whistle in deris.
ion at the idea that there is any dispos.
ton on the part Of the Wing party to lay
aside bis faVOrile candidate for the Pres
idency, or that there will be any one to
compete with him for the nomination -
We have given repeated proofs Of spir'
it of disslfscton existing in the Wing
ranks towards the "Grent emb Ody.
ment,' and we find the following in
the New York Evening Post, which shows
that there is TO be another Richmond in
the field. Indeed, we have seen il al
ready announced in one of our city pa
pers, positively, that Mr.. W. intends be.
ing candidate, and we have good rear
son to believe, that the paper referred
to, was fully Authorized 10 make the pnb-
licaton.
Most of the persons who expect TO be
put forward as candidates for the next
Presidency are acting upon the French
maxim, reculer pour mieur sGuter; they
have stepped hack little in order to take
the better leap! Mr.. Calhoun, Mr.Clay,
Gen. Cass-for so il is the fashion to
call him since he has been talked of for
that high office--Col. Johnson, Mr.. Van
Buren,, all Of them, we believe, but Mr..
Buchanan and Mr.. Tyler, are now in re-
Observation-Disclosures little from the
hustle that reigns around the chair Of
State, in order to gather sufficient i'm
petus TO jump into ii.
When Mr.. Webster, the other day,went
out Of the cabinet, it did not occur to US
at first that he was about to ado himself
TO this class OF worthless, these walters,
not upon Providence, but the public
voice. 1t seems, however, that he too is
a suitor for the chief magistracy-the
Black Giant Of the East has actually CIR.
ded up his lons, and entered the lists Of
a competitor for whig favor with RedHOr.
ry Of the West. The friends Of Mr.. w.
are declaring that they cannot part with
him thus. The Journal of Commerce Of
this morning suys There is host in
Massachusetts and throughout The cOLn.
try, strong in numbers, intelligence and
wealth, who approve Of Mr.. Webster's
position, and who will probably not be
satisfied until the nation has the benefit
OF his services in some public capacity
To give greater emphasis TO this, the
Journal goes on 10 say, that although Mr.
Webster is now in town, "the article was
not written at his suggestion, or with his
knowledge, or that Ofany of'his friends. "
See, therefore, how spontaneous support
greets the great man on all sides! Sew.
eral Of the whig prints in Massachusetts,
complain bitterly Of the nomination of Mr.
Clay by the convention Of their party in
that State, and declare that the wrong
must be rectifiod The Berk shire Whi0
compares the retirement Of Mr.. Webster
from the cabinet to he loss Of Cato from
the Roman Senate. The New Hamp.
shire Sentinel asks whether such a man,
second TO no man in America, shall be
allowed to settle down as an advocate in
our courts OF law, when not engaged in
planting or digging potatoes in MassaChu
sets, and closes with the following pro.
posals:
"Will not the whig State Convention,
shortly to be called to nominate State
officers, dojustice in the premises: and
set the ball rollinge" Whatever may be
the event, we say, let the $4,000 wings
OfNew Hampshire, put in nomination,
