MARCHING AND CoUNTER-AIaRcuIyG IN PoLr-
T1cs-Mr. Richie, Of Washington, and his cor
respondents are funny fellows One of them. who
IS represented TO be very leading man among the
democrats, presents curious plan for getting over
the difficulties and excitements that menace thu
Union, on the collision between the slavery and
antl-slavery opinions in Congress and elsewhere
This worthy proposes that General Taylor should
march over, bag and baggage, TO the camp OF the
democrats, as the best plan to make his admins
tratlon successful, and present check to all the
ultra factions. The same wonderful adviser would
probably have counselled the old hero, when he
found himself on the field of Buena Vista, enclosed
on all sides by the Mexcans, to have marched
over, bag and baggage, TO Santa Anna, as the best
way to make glorious finish of the Mexican war
General Taylor, however, is made of ste rner stuff;
and instead of marching 10 the ranks of those
who opposed his election, We think it would be q
matter OF greater wisdom for the democrats TO
march oyer, bag and baggage, TO the old Generai's
camp. Indeed, as matters now stand, the disor-
ganization Of the old parties Is increasing every
day, and there Is every appearance that the great
mass of the moderate, reasonable and emil yhtened
men Of all parties will unite in supporting his adj
ministration, and In presenting barrier to the
office-hunters and ultras, that they cannot over
leap.
Mr.. Richie and his kitchen cabinet all will
please put this suggestion their pipes and smoke
II during the holidays.
