HIS Bow.-We are informed that it is fixed
fact" or, as Mr.. Attorney General Cushing
would say, "a fixed constitutional factn that
Mr.. Beverly Tucker, of Virginia, will shortly
establish in the city Of Washington new de-
mocratic paper, right under the nose of the old
Union, for many years the solitary central
organ of the great confederated democratic
party. We further understand that this new
enterprise will be well backed up by liberal in
vestments from various quarters, of the q sinews
Of war;" and that Mr.. Tucker who has been for
some days at the Astor House, is en- route to
New Hampshire, to feel the pulse of the hard
listed democracy Of that neighborhood.
Of course, we can have no objection to an
other democratic paper at Washington and if
| it creates little excitement in the family, so
much the better. And from the antecedents Of
Mr.. Tucker we may anticipate something more
of vitality and point in his editorials than has
been vouchsafed to us from Washington, since the
days Of the old Globe, when F. P. Blair welded
| his butchers cleaver with such prodigious
effect. Mr. Tucker is of the progressive school
ofYoung America, and mighty strong believer
in the Monroe doctrine, and in that other doctrine
Of this latter day SO terrible to all old fogies"
the doctrine Of " manifest destiny" And just
at this crisis, there is no telling what effect
democratic organ at Washington, advancing
and pushing forward these doctrines, may have
upon the policy of the government in reference
to Cuba and the West India islands, Spain and
Mexico, and in regard to the Vaccinations Of
England and France. And those who are well
informed as to the policy Of Mr.. Tucker, say
that upon those subjects affecting our inalien-
able rights Of territorial expansion, he will
make the fur fly in every direction.
| However that may be, it is evident from one
of our telegraphic dispatches from Washington,
which we publish this morning, that the old
Union has taken the alarm for it appears
that A. 0. P. Nicholson, Of Tennessee, is soon
to take the editorial charge Of it. Mr.. Nichol-
son is a conservative, and by the disciples of
Young America is declared to be an "old fogy"
of the Cave johnson stripe. But whether he
can reinstate the Union in the position which
it held under Father Richie. is doubtful
question. The fact that Mr.. Tucker has receiv-
ed sufficient encouragement to start new de-
mocratic paper in Washington is at all events,
suggestive of something unsatisfactory in the
present order Of things.
We had thought oflate that the Union was,
de jure and de .facto, the organ-its articles
in defence of the administration being written
with all the self complacency Of man in au-
thority. But now a doubt is suggested, and
the question recurs, is the Union to be the
organ, or is Mr.. fuckers paper to be the organ,
or is Gen. Pierce resolved to do without spe-
cial organ, or will he probably employ the
one paper or the other as the organ, as the oc-
casion may require? or both, or neither, or how?
This is a startling question-tremendous
isn't it?
On another point we suspect there is very
little doubt. The Union will have rival in
Mr.. Tucker for the printing of Congress, the
clear profits Of which no man has yet been able
to estimate; but they cannot fall short, under
the existing law, including the printing Of both
houses, Of $4,000 for the short session, and
$25O,0OO for long session of six months or
more. Ifthis democratic rivalry for these spols
shall result in the establishment of national
printing Office, it will be great thing. Mr..
Tucker may then congratulate himself in hay
ing been an effective instrument in stopping
the very bung hole Of political corruption. Oh,
yes. by all means give us another democratic
organ at Washington. The more the merrier.
Let not the democracy go to sleep.
A COOP SIGN.-We learn from respectable au-
thority, that Mr.. Soule. for Madrid, will leave
this country, in all probability on the 26th inst.
NO hail hic info N ho
fiscal year does not end till the 30th June, and the
appropriations for our new ministers abroad, be-
ginning with the next fiscal year do not take
effect till the LIST July. Therefore, the earlier
departure Of Mr.. Soule for his destination, in
dcates proper appreciation of this crisis in
our relations with Cuba and Mexico and Spain
and England. We doubt not this dstin-
guished official will go out fully charg-
ed with the instructions of the government
upon all the various questions awaiting a set
Element between the high contracting parties,
of the United States on the one part, and of
Spain on the other. In this movement we
have an assurance, also, that if there is
war in the Gulf, and in the republic of Next
co it will not have fallen upon us without an
effort OF Gen. Pierce to arrest it. But still the
question recurs, will there be war?
Mr.. Buchanan, we are informed, will leave for
England in the Baltic. on thv of July.
THE DIVISION OF THE SPOH.s--WHIG TACTICS
We transfer to our columns to-day cata-
logue of the appointments of the administration
as made up and circulated among the wing
presses of Kentucky and Tennessee, for cleo
tioneerng purposes. Thus il vi be perceived
that the very batteries Of free soil and disunion
directed with most efficiency against the wings
in the late Presidential campaign, have been
seized by the enemy who have turned the guns
against the White House. Well, we intend to
watch the nrngress OF the oa1ae and with in
