The Republic has leader more than
two columns long, in relation to :" Wing
papers and Government Patronage" in
which it says:
eve should stand small chance to OBJ
tain the Government patronage. when we
should have even to struggle with the
press of our own party if in power. The
threatened opposition to those who enjoy
the patronage at present shows that no
press can expect long to retain such a Cal
ifornia as the monopoly of the Government
printing it is even possible that, in the
conflict for this immense reward, the dis
appointed may unite with those who be-
lieve that the Government and press
should be separated, and, by the estab-
lishment of a bureau of public printing,
remove effectually influences regarded by
many so communicating.
In view of this calculation of chances,
can course Of sycophancy and suppress
sion of sentiment be attributed to any
Wing paper in Washington because it
may choose to approve a measure Of the
Administration
We sincerely approve the doctrines
of the inaugural there was profession
of devotion to the Union and to the Com
promise; there was foreign policy pro-
claimed at once honest and liberal. We
knew that a factious opposition to indi-
vldual appointments would do no good,
because the people were determined to
try the Administration upon the merits. ,
''In common with others, we are not
pleased with the Russian alliance recon-
mended by the Government organ: but
that is understood to have been disa-
vowed. In common with others, we
thought that the system of bounties to
those who had required the continued
efforts of Wings and Democrats to prevent
a dissolution Of the Union, was very
dangerous. We had never knew Gov
eminent pursue the policy of placing arms
in the hands Of insurgents. But the Union
explained that all those who had received
the bounty were thereby pledged to abb
stain from agitation, and TO maintain the
Baltimore platform. 'VouS are= raison,'
we said. perhaps, when those who hon
estly thought that the Union ought to
be dissolved, shall behold their leaders
clad in such uniforms as Mr.. Marcy
may vouchsaie, holding commissions
and fourishing their swords in the
regular army. Bound by an official
oath to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law,
or that forbidding the sale of slaves
within the District of Columbia, they
will say, Those men who melted US to
carry our principles to the extreme,
availed themselves Of sectional ladder
to mount into Federal place. We must
re-examine our opinions; our leaders
could not have been sincere in their
'opposition to the General Government,
for it is no better now than before
Therefore we said very well, play out the
play. Shoot the prisoners, distribute the
spoils, and then for the platform. There
seemed to be general Impotence that
the performance upon the platform should
commence; there was a general pounding
of editorial and oratorical canes, and a
general cry of 'sPlatform Platform p
Then followed those tantalizing prelimi-
naries in which the Secretary of State
comes on and takes the measure of the
new officials, and gives short lecture
upon liyeries, and runs off amidst some
laughter and a small shower of editorial
peanuts.
Then we are told that behind the scenes
they are busy preparing for the great
ministerial procession, in which each To-
reign minister, with his Secretary bearing
his portfolio, will appear and recite his
instructions, as per programme and
that we will thus see the wisdom of the
Administration and its fidelity to the in
augural."
