THE WASHINGTON UNION"..
THE NEW TAPER

The first number of this paper, came to
oar Office on last Wednesday morning.
We have before expressed the pleasure
which Mr.. Ritchic's taking charge Of the
Democratic journal at the seat of Govern
ment gave us. The number before Us
opens with an address s. 10 the public, ="
from the editor, which we have copied in
another column Of this weeks Journal. -
Then follows several able and elaborate ar
licles upon our foreign relations, review OF
the debates in the British Parliament, &c.
We do not think that Mr.. Riches style
of writing is altogether so vigorous as that
Of Mr.. Blair, but it is much more chaste
and dignl6ed. His articles on the contro-
versy pending between England and this
country, about the Oregon Territory. are
master pieces, and, we suppose, may be
taken as embodying the sentiments of the
administration. We hope that MIR. Richie
may be as effective in controlling public
sentiment. in the new situation which he
has assumed. as he was whilst at the head
of the Virginia press. We think he will.
We wish him all success, both personally
and politically.

rhe Globe--The Fiscal Partner.

Tn the Globe of the 30ih ult., We find
an article written by Jno. G. Riyes. the
fiscal or business partner of the concern,
in which, after stating the arrangements
which he and Mr.. Blair have male with
their successors, Messrs. Richie e. Heiss,
he goes on to state that the leading men of
the Democratic party approve oflhe course
thew have pursued in selling out to the lat
ter gentlemen. He says that letters were
written by Mr.. BlaiJ to Gen'i Jackson on
the subject. (for advice. we presume and
that, at first, the old Eeto advised them not
10 sell the Globe to any person. few
days after this, he {Gen'l Jackson) chan
ged his mind. and advised them TO sell. in
consequence of information which he had
received. that a new organ would be set on
foot at any rate. /. would seem from this
article of the Globe, that Mr.. Polk had
come 10 the determination to select some
other press as the official one, at any rate
and that Blair g. Rives had TO make vir-
tue of necessity. This is only our con
lecture. Blair & Rives, however, have
acted nobly in pursuing the course they
have. promptly IN yielding their private
wishes and interests to the good of the
cause. Their manly self-sacrl6cing con-
duct on the occasion will place them still
higher in the grateful remembrance Of the
Democratic party, the cause of which they
have so ably and fearessly advocated du-
ring the last fifteen years. The following
sentences, with which Mr.. Riyes winds up
his connection with the press, will shew
that the man who wrote them is Of the
right "grit:'
Il will conclude by saying to the democra-
tic party that am indebted to it for all | am
worth, and that will willingly spend at least
half of all have in it's service whenever a
majority Of that party shall think ! can be
useful TO it.
"There's load of my shoulders, and !
now feel happier than have for the last four
teen -except-perhaps- part of my
honey -moon."
Then follows a letter from Mr.. Van Blu
Sen, commendatory ofthe course they have
pursued in selling ont. Mr.. Van Buren,
gives the Globe the highest sort Of praise
(merited, too.) for the able and fearles:
manner in which /, fought the battles Of
the people during the contest between Gen
Jackson and the United States Bank. The
letter is admirably written, and We woult
take pleasure in copying it, were it not 81
long. 1t would take up too much room
in our little sheet.

james k. Polk.

We clip the following extract from an
Irish paper, the Dublin Nation. We are
glad to see that some of the foreign press
rs are willing TO give Jimmy Polk little
credit
"JAMEs K. Polk has sworn to observe the
Constitution Of America, and has spoken his
Inaugural Address to the States. 1t was pa-
cid, profound and determined. Such docu-
ment has not been issued by Legitimate King
these two centuries. 1t was worthy of a u
surper-most worthy of freeIy-chosen ma
gistrate of Freemen. 1t expresses the sense
of responsibility justly felt by the President,
the youngest ever chosen by the States. 1t
justifes the federal system-it presses the
Importance Of State solvency and exults in
the absence of State debt-declares for Free
Trade as rule. and Protection as an excep-
ton Cor incident,) and then it deals with Ter
ritorial acquisition-with Texas and Oregon.
His declaration for Oregon is equally clear.-
He is man of tow words, but those of strong
kind"

note many striking conversions. The dlvI-

gress. To the eye, everything looks very
much as it was. But, somehow, all men feel
that the old foundations are loosened under

Health of Raj ig h.-Black Tongue.

We perceive that The brethren of the
corps Editorial in the Metropolis, are quar-
rellng aboHt the nature of the disease
which undoubtedly exists at present in
that city. The S.":ldard of,he 3Oth inst.
says, upon The authority of Physician,
that the disease called BLACK tongue" is
prevalent there, and has been Coz some
days past. The Register denies the fact,
and says the disease is that Of ST. Antho-
ny's Fire; and tells its readers that they
need have no fear about visiting Raleigh
tha, the disease is by no means infectious.
How the matter is, we don't know bu,
are apt to think that the Standard would
not make the statement it has, unless ii
says tina, within few weeks past, nineteen
collins have been made at one establish
ment in Raleigh.
We clip the following from the las,
Tarhoro' Press:
"Bluct T"ague.-We learn that on Satur-
day last, Mr.. Henry D'cken, Of this county.
died with this dreadful disease-and that Mr..
Larkcy Savage and wife. living near Mr..
Dicken, died with the same disease fpwdays
previous. Mr.. Dicken was in the 45th year
of his age, and had been married only about
two months.
"This distressing disease is creating con.
sternaion in various parts Of the country. In
Northampton nd Halifax counties, we learn,
several deaths have occurred. And the Raj
eIgh papers now admit the disease is prevail
ing there. We know of no other cases than
those above stated, in this county,"
We are thankful that this dreadful dis
ease has not as yet made It's appearance,
so far as we can learn, in this section oil

Virginia EIection.- Il csults OF this Water

The returns Of this State are all in, with
the exception Of six counties. These,
when they do come in, will not vary the
resul: much. We therefore give to our
readers the final result of this Waterloo
democratic victory as we find them detail
ed in the Richmond Enquirer of the 9Th

Last Congress, the representation in
that body stood IL democrats and feds !;
now Ii democrats are returned, and only
one solitary wing from the whole State.
In the last Legislature. the wings had a

now the tables are completely turned
The Democrats will have % majority in
the lower House. and 10 in the Senate !;
makinga net majority on joint ballot Of 81 4;
thereby securing .. S. senator for the next
six years. This is the most complete and
unparalleled triumph which Virginia has
achieved for many long day. |, cannot
but be extremely gratifying to Mr.. Richie

leave the ''OId Dominion" in such blaze
Of glory. 49,.

We direct the attention of our readers TO
Our first page for interesting intelligence
from Texas. Beyond what will be found
there, little Of importance has since reach
ed our office. Every account we receive.
however, confirms what we have all along
said, that nine-tenths Of the people of
Texas are in favor Of Annexation on the
basis of Browns Joint Resolutions. The
correspondent of the New Orleans Plea
y,tae, wiring from Houston, says that
there will be majority IN every county
in the Republic, in favor of the measure {;
and that, in many counties. there is not
dissentient voice. Somewhatof mystic
ny seems to hang over the course which
Gen. Houston will pursue. From news
paper accounts, we were lead to believe
that he was opposed to Annexation. Re-
cent accounts, however, would seem TO
negative this idea. The following para
graph from the Galveston (rexas) Civilian,
an anti-Annexation paper. would go to
shew that the anti-Uniled States party ex'
pect little from him:

Ahead OF Steam,

Steam has, we had in our imaginations
vainly thought, brought the Eastern and
Western bemispheres as near as they could
we'll get. In this, it would seem that we
were mistaken. In our Northern exchan-
ges, we see that Professor Morse, the in
ventor Of the Magnetic Telegraph, thinks
that he can establish line of wires be-
tween this country and England. Should
such project be carried into effect, two
persons, one Of them in New 7 ork, and
the other in Liverpool, could hold aconfab
about matters and things in general, altho'
the distance is between three and four
thousand miles. 1t looks a little Utopian.
we must confess; but we think from what
we have seen, that such a scheme will
one day be carried into effect. Should it,
wewould like to have small chat with lit
tie Victoria ourself.

We must print that fshhook story, for the

mother was asleep in her chair, her custom
always of an afternoon, little boy in Wood
Vile, Mississippi, dropped his hook and line
into her mouth. and swallowed it two or three
inches below the uvuIa. DR.. Leroy Antony
removed it by the following ingenious meth
cd: he cut off the line within foot or two of
the mouth, then drilled hole through rife
bullet and dropped it over the line down on
the hook. In order to fix the bullet on the
point of the hook and maintain it firmly in that
position, reed was procured, the joints
punched, out, and then passed dow ever the
line, and pressed firmly over theskAliet. In
this manner the hook, bullet and feed were

any injury to the esophaeus or fauces. DIR.
