NEW YORK. CORRESPONDENCE.

You will have noticed that the Courier and
Enquirer is cautiously breaking ground on the
subject of the TWO hundred million loan The
editor calls upon men of all parties $50 unite in
forgetting that they are politicians, and act only
as becomes men having at heart the honor, the
happiness, and the prosperity of the whole coun-
try. The press must bear in mind that il has D
duty TO perform far more responsibilities more
impor aat thal any duty to party or 10 the midi
viduals who look to patty Tor political advance
mtnt And above all, the Representative Of
the people, who are to compose the next Con-
gress, must enter into n careful examination Of
what their duly to their constituents demands
before they repair TO Washington, and having
arrived at an honest and enlightened coDclu-
sion--as they cannot fail 10 do, surrounded by
those interests they are to represent-they must
firmly resolve fearessly TO discharge their duty
even when surrounded by an atmosphere hostile
10 the interests of the People and antagonist 10
the sovereignty Of the States"
Now, all men will agree that the foregoing is
excellent doctrine; and, coming from the source
it does, the conclusion is irresistible that, not
nothing on earth but "pary and the individu.

The valiant Colonel should bear in mind

country by their serve devotion 10 party, will
not very soon again have power 10 faint the at
mosphere of the Capital with polluiing inhu
ences. Democratic majority is 10 rule the
next Congress, aad hope may be entertained
that something approXim1tng patriotism will fiji
the place where political dishonesty and party
intrigue so lately revelled.
Bolts and Webb may preach to the next Con
gress much as they please; but one thing
they may rely u on-they ca1not iuluse into the

which governed the Wings. There will BIZ

will be as impotent as Bolts impeachment.

willing to make the loan a Wing measure in

funds for the campaign can be obtained in thai

Although the loan was condemned by the

and are compelled, for the want Of something
more plausible, 10 mount the mill Boy of the

This hobby OF Mr.. Johnson is very much in
