TIE Ne,c Paper al Washington.

II the Richmond Wing had been susceptible OF
one generous feeling towards The Senior Editor OF
this paper, ii would have lorborrc 10 catch up
with ovidily The illiberal remarks oil the Phila-
dephia post" What Is the Post? We never
see it. Who is its Editor We understand that
ii is Bella Badger, the notorious pipe-Iayer, whose
assaults upon The purity OF the elective franchise
have won for him an unenviable reputation. We
understand he has Correspondent from Wash
inglon, sy, unscrupulous and shameless. The
Philadelphia american" has also hit at US
and he TOO has a Correspondent from Washing
ton, who is exactly flied for The infamous office OF
a Literary Assassin. We might fairly protest
against their critical observation-disclosures we do
not exchange papers with either OF them
But the Wing, true to its instincts, is pleased
10 adopt the Liberal etfusions of the Post,
al The very moment when a generous opponent
would have INDUCED very different sentiment.
How different is the spirit Of The "Lynchburg
Virsinian," with whom we have shivered many
a spear in political combat, but vino shows him

the malisnity and wics OF The parting Parthian:

MIR. Toler knows US wel-and he shows, BY
his own testimony, how graluiIous and nnlounded
are The remarks Of the Washington Correspon-
denis Of The New York Evening PoSI-one OF
whom esquire RAJ PLY speaks OF US, as being ~
years old, and another Of them says, with Just as
lille truth, that many OF our warme>t friends
think 1--WE are TOO old Tor the arduous duty which
will oil necessity devolve upon (us,) &c. &c
We could offset The articles in the few pa
pers which have sped hasly SHAH al us, BY
the kind and various tributes which the press
in all sections Of the country has been kind
enough 10 pay 10 us Just as we are abonl 10 embark
in our new and arduous duties al Washington.
They are 50 MANY and so courteous, mat u we
are to publish any Of them, The only difficult
Is we shonld feel would be in making Sc
lection from their number. We take The two
following specimens, however, from differ
en-, section, of the Union, because the one is
from the Sonth, The other from The North, with some
slight shades Of difference OF opinion, and both
are napers not unknown 10 fame, as The Phila-
delphia Past is. The first is from "the (able)
Charleston Mercury"-the last is from that old
Republican standard, oh, Albany Argus, known
10 The whole Union, and whose article pays, too,
the propertrbue which is due to our distinguished
predecessor:
"Mr Richie sees principles In much clearer and
higher light than most political ed.t"rs-hr IS ecrupn-
