[From the Globe of April l5,h]
In noticing yesterday the arrangement in progress for
me the Journal under the conduct MIR
stated that the latter will be conducted as hereto
lore until the arrival Of the editor which will be
some tims early in May In the interim, however we
fortnnatey there is nothing OF moment at this time to
call into requson the energy the organ Of democra-
gura address impregnable work to the
era batteries which they would venture assaand
between
point which favors the new attitude in which we are
placed Until Mr kifchie relieves US, we shall look
abroad for such articles shall appear most likely to
amuse and CRAFTY the readers OF the paper.
In several points Of view the extracts when we
have just given are interesting and instructive.
First, it is not little amusing to see Blair and
Rives quietly confessing, in their valedictery ad
dress, the truth of everything which has been
urged against them. Theil servility to q faction
| their utter want Of manly independence-thei
! violence, lntemperance and folly, are all admit
| ted. And what an acknowledgment is that
which the late conductors Of the Globe make
when they represent that journal as having
been created by the "will of General jackson 20
created by the "will'' Of one Prssident-sustained
by the "will" Of another-and now annihilated by
the "wilp' Of third! How can it be imagined
for moment that journalism, thus created and
thus controlled, can sway the impulses or direci
the sentiments of nation? But such ever has
been, and such ever must be, the "organ" of an
administration at Washington-the mere tool, the
supple and weak tool of section Of party. The
valedctory does, indeed tell the truth when il says
that the Globe "had it's origin in the will of Gen.
eral Jackson" II was brought into the field for
the purpose of killing eff Duff Green, who had at.
tempted to control the movements Of "old Hicko-
ry," which it did and now it is killed of In its
turn by old Father Ritch'e, and is turned out upon
the common with as little ceremony as the broken
down hack, unable any longer to serve the will Of
is master.
Under its new management it is very doubtful
whether the Globe will prove profitable specua-
ton, either in pecuniary or political point Of
view. 1t is understood that the capital is to come
from Pennsylvania, and will be furnished by per.
sons friendly TO MI. Calhoun. How the influence
which may then be brought TO bear upon the organ
IS to be managed by Mr.. Richie is yet to be seen.
Then again there are two other papers in Washing
ton professedly attached to the fortunes of the ad
ministratien-the Madisonian and Constitution-
they also must get some of the PATRONAGE The
Globe will thus have troublesome competitors to
deal with under the very nose of the administra.
tion. What experience or capabilities, again, it
may be asked, does Mr. Ritche bring to aid him
in the troublesome position in which he has been
placed? His life has been spent in discharging the
duties of the organ Of his party in Virginia His
range of vision has become narrow and limit
ed. He has had no means Of acquiring practical
| acquaintance with the movements of popular opin-
ion throughout the country. Mr. Ritchie is good
natured and rather sensible man, but we are very
much incRed to anticipate, that very soon after
he gets astride of the Globe he will most deyout.
ly wish himself back TO old Vireinny."
We beg our readers to remark the sang.froid
with which poor Blair consents to occupy the place
Of Mr.. Ritche till his arrival in May. "There is
very little energy required just now in the organ
OF the democracy at Washington !" What a COM
mentary on the sagacity, the common sense, the
genius, aud the fidelity OF government organ
Very little energy required at time when the
foundations of the future success of the admins
tration are to be laid-when the eyes of Europe
are fixed on every movement Of the government
when foreign relations are in the most interest.
ing positionwhen in fact the turning OF every straw
at Washington is regarded with anxiety throughout
the Union! But such is fair indication OF the
value and efficiency Of these government or
gans" Their energy is never displayed except in
contests tor the spols, or in fighting the battles OF
faction. Such was the "energy" of the Globe when
u was controlled by the narrow intellect and petty
ei'ques OF MIR. Van Buren-''cnergy'' that did sue
ceed In defeating the democratic party in 1910, and
which, II II had not been successfully counts sracted
IN 1874, would have again secured triumph TO the
wings.
Such, then, has been the "organ'' created bv tho
"wilP' OF General Jackson What that one ina,
created by the "wiIl" of Mr.. Polk, is likely to he
