few DAYS since General Green, the old champion OF
notification this city, to the relief OF the organ OF
disunion, and commenced its assault by umpng up a
asehood in respect TO connexon supposed TO exist be-
tween Mr.. Doneson and Mr.. Richie, by which the lat
ter was share in the profits from the printing, ii
that job should be given 10 the Washington Union Now
the organ OF disunon throws out similar alsehood al
leging that there is bargain between the Washington
Union and the Republic. Doubtless the defend
ers OF southern honor and southern rights will find
out before tomorrow that there is conspiracy between
the Washington Union and the Inegcncer and National
Era. But in connexon with the story ascrbing joint
interest to the Republic and the Washington Union, the
Southern Press renews the appeal TO its southern patrons,
and has the efontery alege that it has claims to the
public advertisements which have been denied from de-
sire on the part Of this administration to favor the Wash
ingon Union.
Our readers will see by reading the following letters
what foundation there for these asehoods and what is
the nature OF that zeal which prompts thess organs
to cry against the Washington Union, public plum

duty, should order the printing OF the census returns
by u.s. and take care that it pays for SO doing only
reasonable and Just price 1t would suit better the
genius Of these haers of public plumber Congress were
to give this work TO them at mere nominal price, SO as
to afford them preence hereafter for such claims to
remuneration as they could manufacture
WASHINGTON, January 10, 1851.
My DEAR SIR: The insinuation thrown out in the
Washington Telegraph that have contingent interest
in the profits OF printing the if given to the
!" Washington Union," or that have any other con-
nexion with the profits of the paper arising from the
public printing in any FORM from the support il may
receive from the democratic party is unfounded and
just. The only pretext which may exist for such
port is the fact that after my contract with Mr. Doneson
had been executed expressed the belief that the pur-
chase money ought have exceeded 100000, and that in
fact nothing but the necessities Of my situation, arising
principally from my unfortunate contract could have
prompted take such price. Mr. Donelson refused
to vary the contract but had the kindness to state tha
if the profits Of the press such believed they
would be. he would have objection TO additional
payment OF $780, but that he unwilling to bind
himself to do by contract, he had but little faith in
the calculations presented to him of profit and certainly
was not disposed TO speculate any such calculations
Yours, truly,
THOMAS RITCHTE

THE ANGELS BRIDGE

Whene'er rainbow slept along the sky,
The thoughtful child expected Angel bands
Would glide upon its gorgeous path OF light,
With half.furled wings and meekly folded hands
For he had dreamed the rainbow was bridge,
On which came bright ones from the far oil shore;
strange and pleasant dean but ne believed
And his young heart with loves sweet 1ai1a ran o
How full Of dreamy hopefulness his face,
How many tender welcomes filled his eyes,
When for celestial visi,au.s he watched,
In mute and holy converse with the SKIES
The sanity child grew very wan and weak;
And as he las upon the bed OF pain,
One day of storm, he only gently said
"when vii! the Angels bridge reach down again 9
In rnusing trance, while gazing on the clouds,
A flood OF sunlight Iii .he humid air
And sprinelng forth as If from Gods own arms,
