American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1845-04-08

raid, in some comments on the policy of the
now President, present and prospective, says
1--WE think we may now safely regard the old
Kitchen Cabinet and the Globe, which was its
organ-its steady, INSCRIPTIONS, well-paid or
gan--as pretty nearly annihilated. We are
! g ad to be able to announce that there is now
no doubt that L new paper will be established
at Washington on much more comprehensive,
liberal and sound principles than those which
hive characterized the action of the G lobe dur
ing the last few years. 1t is supposed that Mr.
Blair is worth $500 900, made out of the pick
ings of Congress, administered to him by the
members both of the Senate and the House,
who wanted him for their own purposes and
used him to serve their own interests"
If it be fact that Mr.. Blair of the Globe has
realized the sum of $500, 900, we should sup
pose that 1t would be no great punishment for
him TO relinquish all connexon with the public
press, and to retire forever from political strife.
With ample means TO enjoy the balance of his
life in tranquil retirement, free from the con-
fcts of faction and the intrgues of politicians,
it would amaze us to see Mr.. Blair remain at
his present post Of care, anxiety and trouble,
even should the Globe be selected as the 90
vernmcnt organ; which the Herald supposos
will not tie the case. A Washington cores
pondent of that paper gives long detail OF
circumstances in relation to an effort which the
writer alleges has been made, to bring Prcs-
dent Polk under subsection to "kitchcn cabi-
net" composed of VIM. B. Lewis, Blair, Ken
dali, Thomas l.. Smith, and others. 1t is said
that their operations were conducted through
the agency of General Jackson, who was inno-
Gently brought to assist their designs. But it
seems that the President discovered the man
nurering, and promptly discharged the princi-
pal actors, who held Office under him. And it
is further stated, that, in consequence of this
discovery, a new paper, intended to be the 60
vernment organ, will be started in Washington
within few months, under tho superintend-
once of the venerable editor of the Richmond
Enquirer and Mr.. IIeiss, Of Nashville, Tennes-
see.
We give these statements as we find them in
the Herald. What degree Of credit they de-
serve we know not. few days only have
elapsed since we saw it announced, that the
question of selecting newspaper organ had
been submitted TO the vote of the cabinet, and
there being tie, the President had given the
casting vote in favor of the Globe. We sus-
pect that, of the two accounts, this is the more
probable.
ETHIOPIAN SERENApsRs. The original Eth
opian Serenaders give another concert to-

The MISSES BRAMsoN's CONCERT. The !
concert of the Misses Bramson on Saturday |
evening, at Calvert Hall, was exccllently we'll
attended, and the performances gave the most
decided qualification to the large assemblage.
Miss Josephine Bramson is wonder indeed
such a degree of perfection in one of her age,
is something akin to the marvellous. We do
not know whittier they bend their steps, but 60
where they may, we ask from the press an es-
pecia commentator of their mcrits-from the
public they are sure Of receiving due reward.
