Battle Of the Organs, or, the Confusion OF
Tongues.
We have noticed for some time past singular contest
gong between the two wing papers published in Wash
ington Each has the ''officia" head The lntegencer
consider ITSELF and is considered by Others
the real organ, for the time being least, of General
Taylor's administration. This piece OF presumption OF
the Inelgence and of the public at large exces the ire
Of the National Wing, which is ready to assa
any whom suspects of harborng unknd thought
of the administration Its efforts TO attract the eye
of General Taylor and win his kind consideration are
amusing enough, and they do but little harm But
does conne itself to these exhibitions. Its love
is pentfuly mixed with jealousy. 1t cannot bear that
the public should suspect that General Taylor ever
smiled upon the National Intelligencer; and whenever
that paper endeavors to enlighten the public to
the views of the President and his cabinet the National
Wing nlimates that it does without authority. This
is matter of great inconvenience. No one can COM
plain if General Taylor determines to have no organ to
inform the people to the in which he intends
to discharge the trust that they have conded to him
but the public would have TO complain he
had two organs, giving different and contradictory state
ments to the world The lntegencer, some ten days
ago. contained what was construed into threat against
the free soil party; and the National Wing insisted that
it was the i'll considered and unauthorized remark of
newspaper Last week the Intelligsncer intmated
it did not assert, that the administration would take
'the responsibility of supplying. by other
the absence of legislative provision establishing gov
eminent for New Mexico and California The Wing of

After having done so, it says:
There will be Iaudinarian construction OF the con-
suonal powers of the Executive seek authority for
this that act, exercised by Mr. Polk, when he
made and unmade governments by his presidential edicts
There will be appeal the law of nations for authority

wanted excuse for his usurpatons. II evil is flow
from the omission of Congress to give law to California
and it is not in the power OF the Executive to provide
remedy by the acknowledged and just which the
constitution and the laws place in his hands, the evil must
be endured and Congress must shoulder the responsibility
bear the responsibility OF its 1t has been
long the fashion visit the Executive with the derec
tons OF Congress Let evil be endured, if evil upon
the country by the action of Congress- for e and
Congress will do its duty hereafter.
We confess that this pretended revelation leaves us in
thick fog found Again ask, what is the
administration about to do? and again put off
with unmeaning generalities This branch of the "ot
ca" deals in the Dephc strain which will require
another to interpret for But really this extract
looks very like assertion that the whole ect is
be turned to the next Congress- and that General
Taylor will not upon himself the responsibility
of supplying the omission Of the last Congress in not
providing laws for people on the Pacific coast.
Which to believe, the Inelligencer the Ma
tional Wing? Which is authorized to speak for the
Presiden' Ii both, certainly their voices should accord
If neither then they should speak only for themselves,
and let it be understood that they are not the organs
of the administration, and do not pretend to repre-
sent General Taylor his cabinet. 1t is rumored
that third whg paper is to be established in Wash
ington There seems be no doubt of the fact. 1t is
said that the wing party throughout the Union is to be
put under general requsilion for its establishment
and support Funds are to be collected by the
tive exertons and there to be every to be-
leve that they will start with the most ample pecuniary
procure the of the best talents and the most
extensive circulation This paper, it is said, will be
in the special confidence of the administration At all
events we presume it will pretend to be organ
but we shall then have confusion confounded and
harmony most discordant There may be wisdom in a
multitude of counseors, but we doubt much whether
there will be much unison in plurality of organs.
