WASHINGTON, Nov 8, lS45
The Printing Of the House.
Let us turn our attention to this subject for mo-
ment Let us ascertain, as far as may be, the drift
oi the ude-the bearings of the ship and the quar-
ter OF the breeze. As we understand it, there are
four firms entered for the more profitable branch of
the House, to wit
Messrs. Ritchle and Heiss, of the Union.
Blair " Rives, late OF the Globe
Harms Y Heart, of the Constellation
Fisk " Bow, OF the u s. Journal
The first are the candidates of the admin,stra
tlon-the second, we expect, will be taken up by
the Wright-Van Buren-Benton members of New
York
With here and there stragglerY
from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, and
peradventure New Hampshire and Michigan. The
third are the candidates of the Southern Calhoun
Democracy-the fourth of the Young Democracy of
the West-the anti-National Bankers, and anti
State Bankers-the men who go for Oregon now or
never, and for the whole Of Oregon. or none"-in
short, the radical, progressive, subterranean, fiat
footed, outand-out, no quarter asking and no quar-
ter-glvng Democracy.
Now let US suppose (Which IS likely) that there
Will be no caucus nomination for printer, and that
the election, without an understanding among the
clans, Is brought immediately before the House, the
Onion, firm upon the first ballot, would get perhaps
at least three-fifths of the democratic vote-the
the ConstHutio,,, and the Journal. If, therefore,
these three interests will concentrate with the wings
upon either of SAID interests, upon the Intelligent
Ger (wlth an understanding the Union is defeated
otherwise, there is chance for the opposition, In
our opinion. After a few ballotings Cor ptpa rOcc
calls of the roll, which will doubtless be the plan, in
order to coerce into the traces the refractory the
Union will come off with the perquisltes of the
House budget, with full vote, excepting, perhaps,
very few intractable South Carollnians. They
are strong wlled, independent fellows, impossible
to be brought under the regular drill OF the party
lumber wagon by any thing like coercion.
But without the necessity OF caucus, there is
fair prospect of the concentration of the clans into
the support of the organ. Because an organ has
become the established usage OF the Administration;
because it has been deemed, and is still thought, in
dlspensabe to give tone, character, and authority to
the movements, opinions, and measures of the Ad-
Observation-Disclosures OF the hazards to the agents
In the work, from the dismissal of the organ.
The failure to elect Messrs. Richie Il Heiss as
printers to the House, would be equivalent to the
expression of Its distrus of the editor of the Unio
and of the Administration in his selection. The
organ support itself; II could. Not even
the Inteeencer with It's good list OF 10000 subscr
bers could be made pay independent OF the printing
OF the House or Senate, now-and then. II is con-
sdered incumbent, then, upon the majority OF the
House, in order to give the Administration OF their
own choosing, falr trial, to give Its organ an ex-
perimental support In the printing OF the body =
Many OF the refractory will hesitate therefore, IN
the condemnation of the Executive, through the ex-
communication OF Its organ, IN advance OF tar
trial They will not only hesitate but will refuse
to do 1t, when brought forward Tor decision.
Besides, the Message of the President, from Its
antl.tarf recommendations, will appease many tree
traders of the South-from Its attitude the Ore
gon question, II will conciliate many OF the young
democracy OF the West; and If the Executive VIII
come up to the Van Buren idea of Sub-Treasury,
the New Workers will have no longer foothold OF
opPosiuon to the election of Father Ritchle.
1t matters not what may have been Father Ritch-
les opinions of Cen Jackson
% uIrJ Ja~ sIop
nor what his indignant opposition to the subreasu
ry, what his favorltesm of the pet bank system,
nor what General Jackson may have called him in
the star letter-lt matters nothing. All these
the appointment of our good old papa as the expo
nent OF the administration. If the administration Is
orthodox, the organ must bet is the "mouth-
piece" the rumpeter OF the administration Father
Richie not responsible. On the other hand, If the
organ should be remlss, inexpllcable equivocal, or
heretical-the Executive is the OF responsible
ty. Father Ritchie is the amanuensis, by appoint
ment he writes at the dlctation OF the Executive;
and expunges according to order. Father Ritche is
not to blame. The Union is, de facto edited by the
President, and In the question OF the election OF
printer, it is not to be asked, can we trust Mr. Rlt-
chie-but the only requisite consideration ISIS the
President rght-shall he have an organ-shall he
have an obedlent man, ungovernable customer
shall he have man of the Presidents own choos-
ing, or shall we dictate his selection, and exPel ana
drive back Father Richie to the custody, and as the
custodian OF the Old Dominion MIR. Wise's mo-
ton for separating the public printing entirely from
the party press; for the erection of national office
for the government printing, may again be proposed
to the House, but, of course, the innovation, from
other reason, from the reason that 1t is an lnno-
vation, will meet with no countenance. Motions,
also, to have the work done by contract, will fall
stll-born to the floor in view OF the disposition OF
this bulk OF fat jobs, to some ueror political all
vantage.
Without defining any preferences for any of the
candidates for the House printing, still, from the
suggested, we confidently predict the
election OF Richie Il Heiss
