What the Soutbeen ultra States Rights

gathered from tie following:
'sThe State Rights party generally may
well feel both indignant and disappointed at
such an issue to zach an offer. Mr. Hunter
was selected as their Representative man,
infinitely more than as the Representative Of
Virginia. and his refusal not only embarrass-
cs President Pierce. but may re act disast-
riously on the party Having passed this
high compliment, and indicated bis confidence
IN them, Gcu. Pierce may now (if be pleases. J

Gs,y@The establishment Of a Pierce organ
IN Washington, says the Richmond Wing,
engages quite as much consideration in GER
tain quarters as the formation Of the Cabinet.
Shall there be an organ? If yes, who shall
be chief grinder? These are the grave ques
tons which puzzle the profounaest intellects
in Washington, and are supposed to disturb
the peace even Of Concord itself Every as
piring man, and every shade Of every faction,
are in favor of an organ, in the hope of bav
ing the control Of that instrument and making
it subseryient TO their own views, But when
you some TO the farther busition who shall
be chief grinder There is precisely as much
'discord as there was unanimity on the other
question. Zach faction has its own man,
pre- eminently fitted for The post. What will
be the result, time alone will disclose.
