+" Jockey of Norfolk be not so bold,


Such were the famous lines thrown into the
tent of the Duke Of Norfolk The night preceding
the battle Of Bosworlh Field; and although it
is not applicable in its terms to the "Napoleon
of the Press as he has been sometimes called !,
yet il would be well for Mr.. Richie TO remem-
Der the moral that may be drawn from IT, which
he seems most sadly to have overlooked in his
last paper. He swaggers and busters if he
were " confident against world in arms" He
wants no aid from the State rights Republicans
who voted for General Harrison in 1910; no,
no, he. Mr.. Van Buren, wanted their aid most
terribly in that memorable contest, if our memo
ry does not fail US but now the editor Of the
Enquirer cares nothing for lhem-houts them
in the teeth-tells the country that his magnif
cent majority Of 300, in the great State Of
Virginia, in 1910, is undiminshed, and that, as
10 the Sraightouts and old fashioned RepubIi-
cans who voted against Mr.. Van Buren, in
lS40, he cares not pinch Of snuff for them
The Republican party has Mr.. Ritchies word
for it that Virginia is safe for Mr.. Van Buren,.
Well we admit that vote of 1900 is a great
matter in that Of great State. But perhaps
the Democracy Of the country may not so regard
1t and that, after all they would feel safer TO
have the whole body Of the old Jackson men, Of
1928, united. Take care, Mr. Richie, lest you
may be accused of petulancy in old age, rather
Than have credit for that wisdom which has
heretofore characterized you. You have a diff
hcult game to play, and we would advise you by
oil means 10 keep your temper. The Harrison
Democrats have already been sufficiently abu,-
ed by your coadjutors. There is no good reason
why you should add to the outrage Be careful,
good Mr.. Editor; the battle Of Bosworth field
has no, yet been fought.

THE MEETING IN BALTIMORE.

There was a Democratic meeting held IN hionu-
ment square, Baltimore, on Monday evening, when
was addressed by MIR. Senator Allen, Of Ohio, and
several other friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,. The meet
ing was quite large and the illusions to Texas, One
speakers all declaring Id favor of annexation were
received with bursts of applause.
And vet we must confess that not satisfied it'll
the mo.ises which we must presume actuated some
of the principal participants in the movement--nor
can We believe that the rank and file of the Demo
crazy in attendance, upon mature reflection, VIII DC
satisfied. We know that the Democracy of Mary
land, a. well az of nearly every State in the Union,
design to make the advocacy Of immediate annexa-
ton an indispensable qualification in the candidate
whom they will support for the Presidency but we
find that MIR. Senator Allen dwelt, with all his Pc
cuar force upon the necessity Of supporting the no.
minee of the Convention, without the slightest reser
walton as to the opinions he may entertain on the Vi
tai question now agtating the country, or the
most remote reference to the hme and Of the
selection of majority of the delegates or any alu-
sion to the present wishes of the Democratic party.
Now, if it be true-and who doubts t?-that the
Convention, of which MIR. Allen is to be a member,
has been packed aud that sufficient number of dele
gates are already secured to insure the nomination OF
MIR. Van Buren,, even in despite ofthe wishes of those
whom they shall purport TO represent and in direct
opposition the will oftwothirds of the Democracy
of the Union, what, we ask, will his flaming speech
in favor Of Texas amount TO- but deliberate mock
ery-a mere political trick?
Tho resolutions pledge those present to support
Dir. Van Buren,, should he be nominated, notwi,h-
standing he is opposed to Annexation-and yet both
the speeches delivered, and one of the resolutions
adopted, express an uncompromsing advocacy Of the
measure
Let tho People be on their guard before it be too
late. Triekery may secure a nomination in despite
of the nasses-but it will require votes to secure
election. Mr. Van Burens election be COM
passed neither by trickery nor votes. Either MIR.
Tyler or Mr.. Clay will undoubtedly be elected

TEXAS TREATY.

Notwithstanding the Infamous outcries against the
Texan Treaty by hypocrites and traitors, none Of
them have specified any objections. We defy any
one TO point out Objectionable articles in the Treaty
to propose better substitutes. 1t is mostly knaves
who utter denunciaons against it, and mostly fools
believe them.
The Treaty simply annexes or Incorporates the
territory of Texas with the territory of the United
States, giving iAneither less right or priv
legc than any other portion of the territory of the
United States. Is that prcng Who would give it
more Who would make it less' Texas has gone
to much expense TO improve her territory, and
renders her public domain; the United States agree
to pay, from sales of land the amount of her debt
Would any one repudia,e her debt Would any one
make her Debt an nsuperabIe bar to annexation p

OF England to raise up cotton growing nation in

adequate assurance that, if not annexed Texas will
not become fatal rival to US in cotton growing!

In The Senate, the morning hour was occuu,eI IN
the reading Of the Journal and other prem,p,r,
business which was al! that was done, at the time
our paper went to press.
Ia ibe House, after the reading of the Journal Of
yesterday, Mr. ELMER inquired if the motion l., r.,

OF Messrs. White and Rathbun was not the speci,l
order OF the day The SPEAKER replied affirmative

10 take up the bill settling the titles TO lands in the
state OF Louisiana; which was objected to Mr..
WHITE, OF Kentucky, hoped the unanimous conseu:
OIL The House would be given TO the gentleman from
Louisiana 10 make his motion. The objection
was persisted in and Mr. ELMER occupied the
moor 10 opposition to recommitting the report
win instructions to make the corrections neces-
sary, and defended himself from the position IN
which be was laced by the Integencer in the de-
bate upon that subject. He then offered a resolu
