Correspondence of the Herald
WASHINGTON, Sept IL, 1916.
The Press-Ihe Hacant J,sdgeship-Fa -Faroritism-Eu-
justice to some of the States-7hs Annexation, or
Young Democracy 1hrown Overheard, &c.
, Mhen the complaints of brave and powerful peo-
to increase in proportion to the wrongs
nave suffered; when instead Of sinking into ahject
lon they are reused to resistance, through their
far dsan, ives IN Congress assembled the time is not
o. @ when hattery and falsehood longer be
oi use' and simplicity itself can no longer be mised
In order to correct abuses, we need free and in
dependent press, through which, regardless of the
sweeping denunclatlons Of designing, nay, self-in-
t,es.eu oemagogues, the united voice OF the young
democracy may be heard, and their grievances made
known. The bold and fearless course pursued bv
the Herald 1.-The manner in which it ad yances the
interests OF one party or association today-the ex-
position of Its corrupt and pemcious tendencies to-
morrow-have attracted the attention and admira-
ton OF all who have country to save, and not
selfish end, or designing party to obey.
8. "a committee, composed OF the members Of the
" Washington Bar" waited on President Polk, to
ascertain, il is supposed who was to receive this ap-
ponment of Judge. Mr.. Polk said to them, he
would appoint some young man OF s'talents and
CHARACTER" Mr.. Sullivan, young lawyer from
become the recipient Of this Office. He is a young
gentleman OF superior talents, and high promise,
VINO needs but the opportunity of being able to dis
Asu,sh hiiilseH lie Is the most popular young
man know OF here He is the beau ideal of the
ladies fancy His appointment to this office would
give general satisfaction
know OF some States that never gave federal
Tote-never had any representation in office in the
Distrlct OF Columbia; they asked favors and receiv
eu s; none; now an annexation administration, pro-
iessing to be democratic and just, can reconcile
these matters, am at a loss to conjecture
Ihe young democracy, or that party who were
principally instrumental in bringing about the nomi-
natlon OF Mr. Polk for the Presidency in the Balt-
more Convention, and elevating him to the station
which he now fills, and it is to be hoped, will
adorn, are thus far shamefully neglected. The Ju-
nior editor of the st. Louis (Dfissotsyi,) Reporter
arrived here some days ago. He has told the Pres-
dent, probably the Cabinet, that he made 1t his
business to call on some of the most influential
conductors OF western newspapers, IN order to
certain their sentiments about the in which
the patronage Of the government is being distribu-
ted Their opinion is, that the most OF the western
States are neglected land the Annexation Democracy
thrown overheard
Secretary R. j. Walker. visited the Hon. Thomas
H. Benton the other evening, and remained long
enough with him, in his room, to magnetze him.
Mr.. b. is not to be caught with chaff his State is
neglected, and therefore Benton Is irreconcleable
It Will be shortly whether Mr.. Walker will, or
VIII not do justice to the Annexation Democracy Of
the great valley of the Mississippi. About Mr..
W's private interview with Mr.. B., ] have some
thing pretty TO send you ere long.
