The President is very DESTROYS of having an organ s
where. Why don't he select The Tribune. EcHe'
Tie Tribune is not good organ timber, and never
can be. The President bunders sadly in desiring a
organ at New-York or anywhere else, but he wss'i
binder a great deal worse in selecting The TfAssf
for any such function He might as sensibly appa1'

Our Democratic correspondent who writes the fore
going is Lnatured, and we fear something has goas
wrong with him somewhere. We non concur in ~
general drift Of his structures If the President hl
selected Mr. Pierce Butler for his bosom friend, ts
choice may indicate bad taste but it is affair Of BIZ
own. The splendid carriage and horses he ought NJ
to have accepted, but treated as Polk did the hsss
