MIR. Rftchie.

We find in the Union of yesterday re-
port of the speeches made on the occasion
Of the late presentation to Mr.. Richie
Of superb silver pitcher by the employees
connected with bis late establishment. For
nearly half century Mr.. RrrcHIE has been
engaged in the conduct of public journal and
perhaps it is not too much to say that there is
no man in the country who for the same period
has exercised the same controlling influence upon
public opinion, or who has welded so much real
power. He has been the intimate friend and asso-
ciate of JEFFERSON, MADISON, and MONROE; and
in later days he enjoyed the unlimited confidence
Of Polk. In VIRGINIA, during his whole career,
his house has been the seat Of liberal hospi-
tality, and his political influence has been aided
by his social position at the head of the most
refined and distinguished circles of the State.
His favor has been the passport to popularity
and emnence. A word in his columns has
made and unmade great men; for, like ELIZA
BETH, those who he had ''frocked'' he could
"unfrock' at his pleasure. For the period Of
an ordinary lifetime he has not only controlled
VIRGINIA, butte all intents and purposes he has
been VIRGINIA; for the Old Dominion has seen
every thing through his eyes, and governed
herself by his direction.
However, then, we may have differed in our
political views from Mr.. RircHIE--however
sectional and provincial we have at times con-
sidered him-however incompetent to grasp
the great national questions which he has
been called TO dscuss--we cannot withhold
from him the credit of consummatc energy,
sagacity, and skill. Without these quail
ties it is impossible that he should have so
long maintained such an absolute ascendancy
in a Commonwealth which has numbered
among her children so many distinguished
statesmen. Without these qualities it is i'm
possible that he should have so long maintained
such tranquil and undisputcd dominion over
her intelligent and patriotic population. 10
many respects we think his influence has been
unfortunately exercised, but il has been tri-
umphant and supreme. II has amply vindi-
Gated the power and position Of the political
press, and has won laurels for him which any
man who values substantial authority might
well be proud to wear.
We think that Mr.. RIrc,nE has done more
than any other man, excepting Mr.. CALHOUN,
TO foster and stimulate sectional jeaIousies be-
tween the North and the South. We consider
him more deeply responsible than any other
man, except Mr.. CALHOUN, for the disafeciicn
which now prevails in the Southern States.
He has been prejudiced, sectional, narrow
minded; quite as much SO as the miserable

Tho Preslde,Acy.

We find good deal in our exchanges on
this subject-more than TO us seems expedient
and proper at this early day. Circumstances
which are not now indicated may entirely
change the policy and propriety of such nominal
tons as have been prematurey made by the friends
ola few of our prominent politicians. The proper
place and time to decide matter 80 important to
the success Of the Wing party ia in National
Convention, called in the usual way. When that
time arrives, the preferences of different sections
can be duly presented and considered, and it may
be found necessary to select some candidate who,
although not yet prominently brought forward by
the newspaper press, will, moro than any other,
inspire the people with an enthusiastic confidence
One thing, however. may be regarded settled.
Whoever is selected, will be known to the masses
true and risd friend of the Union, defender
OF the Constitution, and a man who wilf aim to
preserve the good old Wing party in lite national
integrity. free from all sectionasm and all anati-
cism. Our present Administration has been emil
nently popular and successful in this respect, and
firm and vigorous support extended to the Presi-
dent, and tho eminent men associated with him,
will do much towards securing the triumph of
the Wing party at the approaching Presidential
election.

The Census.
We fine. thetollowing paragraph in the New
York Tribune:

We find .thetollowing paragraph in the New
York Tribune:
Mr. Disturnell, of this city. has addressed a
petition to the Legislature asking for appro-
priaton to aid in publishing Immediately the eta
tistics relating to this State in the United States
Census just taken. II seems that Congress having
made no appropriation for printing the census, it
cannot be done until next year, and meanwhile its
statistics would be useful. MIR. Disturnel accord
ingly proposes to publish them at once ON the ap.
preparation of some s 200, in return for which he
will furnish q certain number of the books
tanning them. The plan deserves attention ON the
part Of the Legislature
A resolution passed the House providing for
the distribution Of a certain number of copies Of
the Census among the members; but, as there
was no appropriation, the SECRETARY OF, THE
INTERIOR has not the means of making thesdis-
tribution. Such information as is contained in
the Census does not improve with age, and it
would have been desirable to employ the sum
mer interval in printing it accurately and in a
neat style, so that the books might have been
ready for delivery at the meeting of Congress.
The PRESIDENT called the attention of Con-
gress to the subject in his annual message in
the following words: at will also be proper to
make provision by law at an early day for the
publication Of such abstracts of the returns as
the public interests may require" AS Con
gress failed to make such provision, at late
day in the session Mr.. Secretary STUART adj
dressed letters to the proper committees in the
two Houses calling their attention to the sub
ject. Of these letters there was as little no
| tice taken as there was of Mr. CoNRAD's call
for an appropriation to meet deficiencies in the
military service. The consequence is that
there will be no mode of gratifying public in
terest and curiosity in this matter till some
time in the year 1852.

The Next Presidency.

Both of the political parties are beginning to
agitate the subject Of the next Presidency, in
every section of the country, and each section
to suggest the names of such as it wishes to be
its standard bearer in that contest. Among the
Democrats, Cass, Buchanan, Dickinson, and
General Lane, are the most prominent Of those
spoken of for the Presidential office. Some of tho
Wings of portions Of Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, have suggested their
preference for General Scott. But those express
sions Of opinion are only indicative Of feeling
of gratitude to the hero of many battles, and
should not be looked upon hostile to the pre-
sent President and his Administration, which
has given as general satisfaction to the whole
country that Of any other President we have
ever had Indeed, we think that Mr.. FILLMORE has
proven himself to be possessed of thevery first quail
ifcations for the Office. With head full Of wis
dom and knowledge, and heart full of patriotism
and honesty he has guided the ship of State through
the most troubled and agitated seas of sectional
controversy, and the applause Of tho patriotic,
of both North and South. His country owes him q
debt of gratitude, and it remains to be seen whe-
Their his countrymen will allow an opportunity for
paying this debt to pass without awaiting them
selves Of it. From the lights before US we would
say nov. - nc wings VI Virginia VIII pay not, the
Wings Of the South will say not; the Wings Of the
North will say not; the friends Of the Union will
say not.
For the Vice Presidency, the number Of gentle
men spoken of for the Office is greater. The names
of John J. Crittenden, Alexander H. II. Stuart,
Secretary of the Interior; James Graham, Secre-
tary of the Navy; Hon. Samuel Vinton. of Ohio;
and Governor Johnston, of Pennsylvania, have
all been mentioned in connection with the Vice
Presidency. They are all good men and true. and
we could with pleasure vote for any one of them;
but there is one particularly, whom, we believe,
the people of Virginia would like to elevated to
that Office; need not cay that we allude to the
Secretary of the Interior. Mr.. Stuart. His capa-
city, integrity, rmness, and statesmAn-like vicws,
have distinguished him in every office it has ever
been the fortune of the country for him to FILL He
is southern in his feclings national in his princi
pes and patriotic in his actionsa friend to peace
and to the Union, and to the performance of the
laws He would grace any Office.

faction of Abolitionists and Free-soilers-who
have flattered themselves that a despicable local
hostility was an enlarged philanthropy
been at the North. But in his latter days he has
done much to expiate what we cannot but deem
the folly and madness Of his middle age; and we
are very willing to admit his title to the praise
and gratitude Of the country for the course he
has pursued in relation to our more recent diff
culties. In these regards he has acted man
ly, national, and patriotic part; and we con-
slider it fortunate for his fame that he has
crowned life Of conflicting and disputed mer-
its with sacrifice of sectional prejudices upon
the altar Of the UNION.

GOV. Collier in n Guam Diary.

The Hon. BENJAMIN G. SHIELDS, who re-
Gently thought of declining to run as candi-
cate for the governorship of Alabama in favor
of GOV. COLLIER, believing the latter to be
reliable as Union man, in order to be assured
of the fact, addressed him the following in
quiry:
II respectfully request that you make known
your views to the part which Alabama and the
other southern States should take in case that
South Carolina should attempt to seccde from the
Union. and the General Government, by judicous
and firm measures, should exert itself to prevent
such secession. In such event, will you, COVER
nor of Alabama, should you be reelected, give
your countenancc and aid to the seeding State or
10 the General Government? In other words, if
called upon in pursuance of law by the authorities
Of the General Government to employ the influ-
ence and powers Of your position, (whatcver they
may be.) rs governor Of Alabama, to cooperate
with other southern Statcs, especially those cen
tiguous to Carolina, to maintain the supremacy Of
the Constitution and Laws of the Union, will you
act affrmativcly or negatively upon such call''
To which Governor COLLIER, after long
preamble, replies:

duty, respond 'afiirmativcly negatively TO your
inquiries"

Lord Dartmouth from the colonial agent, Mr.
Deberdt, says that, in his examination Of the
question OF taxation, he goes upon the principle
OF the Ipswich instructions.
What man, then, who values his character
for consistency. will presume TO compare these
two things together-the Fugitive Slave law
and the Stamp act of l7652 A law for the
purpose Of giving effect to provision of the
Constitution, which law the people have the
power of changing or repeating by the force Of
their suffrages-and an act of manifest wrong
and oppression, enacted by foreign Parlia-
ment, in which the people are not represented
and which act they have no power to change
or repeal by the force of their suffTagss! A
law made to effectuate bargain fairly and
openly made by our fathers, and an act Of OPP
preston and taxation, passed by an irresponsi-
BILE power, by whose intolerant laws our an
cestors were driven into wilderness, which
they bought with their money or vanquished
by their arms, and caused to yield its increase
and blossom like the rose by the sweat of their
brows!
IL really quite spectacle to behold gen.
tleman of the legal profession exhorting the
citizens of Boston, in Faneuil Hall, to make
the proceedings of the people in regard to the
Stamp act, in l765, the rule of their conduct
in regard to the Fugitive Slave law.
"I'he uloonTterable rage of the people, in
those other days, compelled the stamp distribu-
tors and inspectors TO renounce their Offices, and
held up to detestation all ,cho dared to speak in
faror Of The stamps. find shah zoe be more
tolerant Of those acho uohmteer IN jaror Of this
bius NO, MOI" Now, if there is to be any
thing done in the way of holding men up to de-
testation, &c., it seems to me that no mortal de-
serves this elevation more truly than he who
dares to disseminate these Internal doctrines;
and who, himself lawyer, and sworn to sup
port the Constitution, talks to the masses about
forgetting humanity in a tancied loyalty to la,o
He who urges the people to enthrone their
feelings above their reason and their civil obi
cations is an incendiary, and may, very de-
servedly, be held up to detestation.
Unenvable truly is the fortune of that man,
who, under the prestige of all this infamous
and reasonable twaddIe, is destined to occupy
the seat so recently occupied by Daniel Web
ster, the great defender of the Constitution.
A man who talks with such mischevous
fippancy about fancied loyalty to la,c, and
stimulates his fellow-citizens to the commission
of treason, had better stalk into the Senate of
the United States with the words of Laertes,
in Hamlet, upon his brow, for his political ply
