Holy Writ; and on the same ground, 1--WE say it re.
verently,) because we love the Administration-be-
cause we wish 10 see it successful-because we de-
sire that it may escape the shoals and quicksandr
that lie before it, intend to point them out; and If
there is found little pepper and salt in this
epise than is usual with the ndulgent correspond
ent of the Herald, it will be because further indul-
gence would be inexpedient and out of place.
lst. The PREsIDENT-He is in bad box. Aswe
have heretofore shown, from every quarter he is ex
citing the opposition and displeasure Of every clique
OF the party. Like the Internal spirit OF old

But of all his annoyances it is alleged that the ap-

the q,tid npncs that Col Polk has funds invested in
the "organ"-that his private Secretary, Mr.. J.
Knox Walker clever aud amlable young man, is ii
stockhoider TO large amount; and that Gen Ca
meron, OF Pennsylvania, an original stockholder,
was bought out by the joint-stock company of the
admlnistrailon, IN expectation Of the handsome d-
vidends that must from the House printing,

prospects of the sorgan." And with the defeat of

per- month or two will snow. And while this
movement is making, under the sanction and sup
port of the old hunkers OF the north, the States

Constitution But single interrogatory or two, em
FATHER RITcHIE-Wi he stand out for the Sub
Treasury' Is he in favor Of its resuscitation We
doubt it, and the doubt is general and it is doing
the north and in the south We are now assured
that the next Congress will compel the adminstra-
ton into the measure, if possible. But again, is not
Father Richie in his heart devotee OF the explo-
led pet bank system of league among the State
banks the repositories of the public money? and
not his original acquiescence in the policy OF
the Sub Treasury a forced and extorted acqules-

lieve that
"A man convinced against his will,
Is Of the same opinion still"
But again. Mr.. Richie denies that the 49th parallel
n L. has been agreed upon as the Oregon boundary
between the high contracting parties. The narrow
ness Of the denial satisfies that some such propo
sltion has been matter of serious negotiation,
fact which, Of ITSELF will tend more to weaken the
reliance of the people In the administration than any
other infraction Of any of the measures which the
administration was elected to consummate. Only
look at it. The President In his inaugural, solemn
ly declares our ''unquestlonable te to the Oregon
territory, clar1ed under established bounda-
fies. and three months AFTER we have the Secretary
OF State seriously reecring upon the surrender of
nearly four degrees of latitude. What will the
country think OF the administration thus tamper-
ing with an ''unquestlonable right!"
We are not surprised TO hear that Mr. Buchanan
is anxious to retreat in good order from the Cahi-
net under the ample black mantle OF Judge OF the
| Supreme Court. We wish him happy escape
from all his dticnltles-but he might have known
that in assuming the settlement OF question which
had puzzled to the utermost the acuteness and far
reaching sagacity Of Mr.. Calhoun, he was getting
himself into dilemma that would be Troublesome
| in the extreme. If he now escapes from the Ad>
mlnlsiration without singelng, he may thank his
stars for his good fortune
Mr.. SECRETARY WALKER-Is in the crlsis OF
malignant disease. He was charged with having
been early and ultra an annexatlonist from his
interest in Texas scrlp but having cleared up this
sent position! He is likely to fall martyr to ma
MIA, alleged real tor the Chickasaw lands. There
bill before the Senate last winter for trans
fer of the adjudication of these Indian claims, if
United States Courts in Mississippi. Mr. Walker
advocated the bill with more than usual energy and
perseverance. 1t passed the Senate-lt went to the
| House, but there Mr.. Thompson, of Mississippi,
nnocently and honestly exposed the corruptons that
must inevitably result from such law, and the bill
was defeated. Shortly after Mr. Thompson was
appointed by Governor Brown to fll the vacancy OF
Mr.. Henderson, and sent on Mr.. Thompson's ere
denals to the care of Mr.. Walker, and these Gre
denals Mr. Walker is charged as having suppress
ed for length of time, thus deprving Thompson
of the compensation of a Senator and mileage Tor
The extra Executive session, which Immediately
followed the regular session last winter. We refer
you to the Mississippi papers. There seems to De
full determination on the part OF those Leading Po-
litlcans of the party in that State to sacrifice Mr.
Walker unconditionally. 1t Is useless to equlvo-
cate or evade the actual position OF the case We
would rather, at this moment, stand In the uncom-
ortable attitude of Sam. Houston, the Texas
question, than in the position which Mr.. Walker
now occupies before the State of Mississippi. He
has played, il appears, bold game, but the danger
imminent, and the result will be there is reason to
tear, his withdrawal from the Cabinet, and his
formal accommodation from the party
Day after day the chasm between the party, or ra-
ber the cfiques OF the party, and the administration
approach In this condition of affairs, all the nerve,
I'll the energy, all the fearlessness all that self-re-
lance, which is the character of the Executive is
required, every bit OF it, There must be no qualling
no shuffling-no caressng the good graces OF this
or that faction but let him plant himself upon the
great measures OF his election, appoint men to carry
them out, and let the jealous, the unappeased, and
The unrewarded rail on. But verbum sap, &c.
We are afraid that Capt. Voorhees, is to be broken
upon the wheel-we are afraid that he will be un-
condtionally discharged, or subjected to an almost
competent and excellent officer, and should regret
that his services were to be lost to the Navy, Du'
there seems to be strong current against him.
Mr.. Cave Johnson returned TO town this morning,
nut we have not learned to the exact object anC
result of his official visit Baltimore, in relation To
The transportation Of the mails.
4 spirited volunteer corps, from Lancaster, "a,
known as the Lancaster State Fenclbes, arrived In

thence returning, stopped, per invitation Of our hosts
