who belong to one or the other of the two par
ties and on that account would not encourage
paper opposed to them. In the strife of the
twoPolitical parties for power these neutral pa
pers have attracted their attention, and have
been found to afford rare facilities for political
influence, which ev7n the regular party organs
do not afford. Many of the party papers have
become so violent and INSCRIPTIONS that none
bu. the most stupid and bitter Of their own fol-
lowers believe what they say. The plan now
is to have party abuse uttered through these
neutral papers. Nay more than that. 1t is Of
ten deemed eXpedient to circulate personal
slander and scurriitP too gross and too base
even for the low standard of character attained
by party organs, and that is now done through
neutral papers
The plan is to get some man who can write
with facility, TO act as Washington correspon-
dent for these neutral papers. lie is to offer
them his services at low rate, OF without any
pay at all. lie Is paid here by those who en-
poy him for the purpose. When falsebood
IS to be told or personal attack made, which
none OF these men, nor their recognized organs
would dare to pcrPctrUte, instructions are Civ
en- to this anonymous agent, and he is ready to
do anything of the kind TO facilitate this opera
ton. The correspondent is occasionally en-

courted the numerical vote of the North.

At the beginning Of the present scss' on an
other great territorial question was pending
and Mr.. CLAY came on, and in accordance
with his former policy sought again to sacri

Gen. Cass weak enough 10 Join him in the
scheme. They agreed on the Compromise
plan, to deprive the South orHll the territory
anquirod by the war, and also of that elaine,
by Texas besides. As this was expected to ar
ousc the South, and to incur the danger ofre
siStancc, both organs and the sub-orgln neutral
Iplpers were all pat into requisition. The In
