he left the district and into Maryland to vote
both for Mr.. Pratt tor Governor and Henry Clay

Cave, however, found to his cost, that the carriage
was net unoccuped, for when he found himself

that his companiOn's wife was there also, and that

The major, himself, begins to look anxious as ii
he thought his time was come. Perhaps 1t ls.
The most exciting subject about these times,
however, is the question OF "the organship"
Last night, Mr. Ritchie of the Richmond Enqx,ry

in this city, and it is supposed look lodings 81

preventing his namesbeing put on the books, so as
10 prevent the fact becoming extensively known,
and II only this morning that il became brHit-
ed abroad, and the fact leaked out, that he almost
immediately proceeded to the White House where
he remained in close confah with President Polk
ior upwards of two hours Mr.. Blair also, within
the past two or three days has been repeatedly cl0
seted with Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Polk On one
occasion he was with Mr.. Buchanan, in private
concave, for more than three hours, and on ano.
ther with Mr. Polk for more than two hours
Then the article which appeared in the Globe Of
last evening so different in tenor from many the
much surprise. Folks think it is queer that Mr..
Blair should come out now and give credit to
Mr. Walkerfor the passage of the Texas resolutions,
when h, has heretofore given his sole attention to

broker, and Mr. Parker, a grocer, both wealthy

OF the three partners to contribute a capital Of
$50 600, making a total Of $l50,O00. This would
appear 10 give strength to the superstition rumor
that the Globe is 10 pass INTO other hands, and in
that event there s little doubt but that il will be
"the organ" and also obtain the printing of bo,h

by getting extra printing enough to pay the price
pretty soon. There appears to be little doubt, but
