Mr. Richie and " The Correspondent Appoiat-
R,ents IL. BaLtimore-- Madisonian-lM Mr. Buchanan
Rstw,ed Lia of the Senators, IN connection
soith constructive trapeilimg, and the amounts
reyaAy received-Dir. Vice President Dallas
+ Senator Dickinson, of Nei1 York-Bagby, of
44labdma.
Mr. Richie is undoubtedly shrewd man, and
n very able tactcian. If not otherwise known,
these facts would be proved by his paper Of yes
tsrday. He shows the very general, nay, universal
estimate which is placed upon the ". Y. Herald,
BY his great anxiety with respect 10 what it or its
correspondents say about him. He shows his
shrewdness and in contrasting the opinions of
the editor, with what he is pleased TO rerm the
"srguments,"" positions" !" "charges," unfound-
ed assertions" &C., &c, of the correspondent ::
and by making quotation, attrbuting the sentl-
ments contained therein, as the opinions If the
correspondent, and stopping short where the COM
meRcsment of the paragraph, If it had been QUO
ted, or the next following lne TO the quotation
would have shown that these were not the opinions
OF the correspondent, but those of the friends OF
the great SouIherner Mr.. Richie, | suppose
thinks that II he can produce the impression that
ths sentiments quoted are those Of the corrcspon-
dent only, they viii have little weight, and his iyse
dlrI thar these positions are ell weak, and the
results ne (thc correspondent,) would draw from
them, almost entirely Visionary" would be acqui-
esesd in without examination by the readers
eau, however, assure him, and The numerous rea.
des Of the Herald, that those opinions are held by
many OF Mr. Calhoun's devoted friends and adhe-
rents and that they bslieve that If Thomas Ritche
did mol propose" to have Mr. Calhoun sent TO
Texas, he did advise with the President, aud per-
hdps renbers OF the cabinet, on that subject, and
hdt he was In favor OF IT. and they believe it ls an
"lns.dlous attempt" to injurr or destroy Mr.. Cal
houa. No ever suspected the gentlemanly Mr.
Richie OF design or desire " to run a muck at
the letter writer's Or reporters, in Washington"
believe he is too much OF gentleman to do that
aud knows too well both what is due to them and
10 himself, and 10 the press generally, but believe
that his sehsitiveness the subject of what
Is said respecting him, shows him to be but
lily qualified To bear the badgering which he will
undoubtedly receive a! the seat OF government as
organ editor, and his attempting TO get out of a
difficulty by making quotation, and atributing
the opinions thereof 10 correspondent, when that
correspondent gives them those ot others will
rot bear very close or keen examination.
think too, that shrewd and able tactcian, and ta-
ien,ed and knowing editor, Us Mr. Richie is--the
Qes,or ollthe democratic party, as he ls termed-t
viii require a more shrewd ana better tactician,
and an ADLER and more talented editor to make the
republican party . one and indvislble"--to unite
Mr. Benton aud his clique with Mr Calhoun-,o
secure the aid ot Mr.. Casa with measures calcua-
tsd 10 turther the aspirations OF Mr.. Wright-te
hafmoase The free traders from the south with tn,
pTotectioalss OF the north and east-he maybe abl,
todo all thisto harmonlsea thectqsses, ,and to induc,
is very improbable. A short experience, however
at the seat OF government will soon convince Mr.
Richie that he has very different field to exer
else In, tnan that presented by Virginia, State
with which he is Intimately and thoroughly &C
quainied.
