The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-09-19

Mr.. NOAH anu MI MILNE dIc HoW
the two veterans Of the Democratic press.
They have been famous in the fields Of
political controversy for nearly half a
century. Their names SAVIOUR OF the his
torical and traditional. They are types of
generation that may now be considered
remote and their topics are Of the past
the resolutions of '90, CLINToN's time,
and the war of 1912. AS historical cha
racters, they are fair subjects of parallel
ism and contrast. They are the represen-
tatives of the party Of peculators in
their respective States. Mr.. Richie has
been for years the organ and instrument
of the Richmond Sweat. house Mr.. NOAH
of the Albany regency and Tammany
Hall. The former has been the manager
of the elite of the distinguished Demo
Gratis of Virginia the latter, of the dis
tinguished Democrats of New York. As
writers, Mr.. Noah has the most wit Mr..
RIrcHIE has made the most money. Mr..
Noah has lined his ribs; Mr.. Richie has
lined his pockets. Mr.. Noah is the FAL
STAFF Of the editorial corps MIR. Richie
is the lean and hungry CAssIUs.
In view of the important position occu-
pied by these two celebrities, we quote
their articles in regard to the recent coali-
ton of the old Democracy of New York
with the Free .Soilers and Abolitionists.
Mr.. NOAH, it will be seen, treats the union
as corrupt triumph of Mr.. VAN buren,.
He considers it victory OF the dlsunion-
ists-the formation of great northern
sectional party, to administer to the per-
sonal ambition of apostate leaders. DE
considers it a Reconstruction In effect OF
the VAN BrREN party-the party that was
so signally defeated by General HARRISON
in 1910, by the Richmond Sweat-house in
1914, and by General TAYLOR in ls4s.
THIS we suppose to be correct state OF
the case. Mr.. Noah ought to know. He
has been In the Democratic councils for
the last eight years. He knows intimate
ly all the leaders of the New York De-
mocracy, and the motives which influence
their political action. He is not 10 be
hoodwinked He is opposed to the whole
Free-Seil sad Abolition movement, and
invokes the aid of the old Democrats tc
crush the corrupt coalition.
Mr.. RITcHIE, on the other hand, goes
in for the compromise, without knowing OF
caring much about the terms on which II
has been accomplished. II is enough for
him that it gives the New Workers &C
casion to inf1ict a blow on the Admins
tration of the 90 Southern Shareholder,
President TAYLOR" He is indifferent
whether il brings up MARTIN VAN BrREN
or any body else, if it should only afford
another chance to the BRoCKENBRoUGHs,
DESBYs, MAsoNs, OsBoRNEs, and STE
VERSIONS. He cannot bear the idea of the
WHIGs "revelling in the Offices" and
turning out three Virginians. No matter
what the principles, or the want Of princi-
piles of the new coalition, Mr.. Richie
thinks the Democrats have acted wisely
in "uniting their solid columns"-whe-
Their under the banner of Free-Soil, Abo-
lition, or any other faction-so long a.
they can have a fair chance TO Gust the
WIG jewellers from their position among
the " spoils." IL is only necessary il
his view to +" carry out their arrangement
and to put dorm all controversial discus
sions,n for the Democrats TO " secure
glorious victory ~
What sort Of victory this will prove
If il should be achieved, the Democrats o.
the South learn from their old FRIEND
Mr.. NOAH. He understands, these New
York chques better than Mr.. Richie does
He is nearer the scene OF acton, and II
more familiar with the wire-pullers. HI
treats the coalition as a corrupt alliance 10
the benefit Of Mr. Van buren,, senior
We suppose this is the amount Of IT. Tn
Richmond elite have in truth knocked
under to the Albany elite, and have con
sented to play second fiddle The nomi
nation of Mr.. Polk aud of General CAss j
to be expiated by the nomination Of Mr.
VAN buren, in 1852 This shows onll
the entire prostration of the Richmont
clique. The insult TO that "sweet LITTLE
fellow" is 10 be atoned for and revenge'
by making him the standard bearer OF thu
party in opposition TO President TAYLOR
We shall have the Union eulogizing Mr.
VAN BURES in a day OF two-for the bene
ht Of the party. Mr. BUrLER will agair
figure in its columns a. a high-priest O
Democracy. Even the reckless "Hot
spur, Of Free-soil, we doubt not, will h
treated with high consideration.
But we are OBTAINING our readers. Ou
purpose was merely to introduce the view
OF two veteran Democrats, on this matte
nj the New York coalition. We copy fir
