In my letter of yesterday stated, upon what
thought reliable information, that The organising"
was settled, and that Mr.. Richie had agreed to
come here to edit the Globe which he and Heiss
were to purchase. | learn, however, that this is
mistake, and that Mr. Richie has not yet decided
whether he will come or no, or at least that he had
not decided yesterday. In fact, the probabilities
believe to be that he will not come at all. He
takes considerable pains in the Enquirer OF yester.
day to negative all the suppostisns which have
been put forth from this city, and among others he
refers to the Correspondent OF the Heraid, whose
words, by the by, he misquotes. Mr.. Richie will
find, ii he come TO tn city to edit "the orqann

suggestions or arguments of other persons He

Secretary of the Treasury, had ordered the adver-

The d!atory and unsatisfactory nature Of the
course pursued with reference to the organ,' is
freely spoken Of by many persons here, who agree
that the President and the Cabinet have by their
| course resuscitated IN measure the Van Buren,
| clique and power and influence. That clique, say
| they, was overthrown at Baltimore, and the Pre-
sldent had but to act upon that suPPostion to insure
| success to his administration. He has, however,
| in his appointments, hitherto restored that Clique
TO office, and by fear of its influence to be mani
tested by the Gobe, the Cabinet has RETAINED from
making that paper $ the organ" for which there
| was majority of voices in Cabinet-namely. the
Consultation. 1t was this fear of the Globe
| which caused Richie to be sent tor, and
men to assume the bullying tone they
| have done whereas, had tine administration
| promptly and vigorously acted upon the state of
things when they came into power, and treated the
Globe and it's clique as being ovcrthrown Gas they
were) at Baltimore, they would have sunk without
the least resistance or hope OF successfully CON-
batting the powers that be-. Now they talk very
loudly and swaggerlney, AID the tone OF the paper
has evidently been such to enable it to place IL
self in a position Of antagonism to the admin
stration, if it be not yielded to- Aproper course on
end to this state Of things. If he wants have

his cutting and slashing, and at the same time
up the party which elected him, he can't do better
than have Blair and the Globe If, the contrary,

advocated throughout his political life, up to the
period of his nomination, let him boldly take his
groundi and choose his "orgap," Qor which the
Constellation would do, or he might establish new
one,) and taking the responsibility, and sc!ing inde-
pendently and fearlessy, he would probably be able
to override all the cliques, and serve his term with
credit. A vaclating, temporzlng policy, however,

his administration from meeting with success, and
confidence in his ability and frmness being lest,
he will be placed in worse predlcament than MI.
