WASHINGTON, June 20, 1850.
WA is T1ssoM IN Washington f the Presidential Egee-
The able and impartial manner with which you continue
10 deal with public questions and 10 handle the claims of
public men, gives general satisfaction except to the
cenary horde Of paltry politicians who have attained
power through the agency Of party machinery, and
whose hope Of continuance depends upon the perpetual
ton OF that system. While the whole country has ad-
vanced in every element Of greatness, in Intellectual
stature there is class Of Office seekers in the country
who to have realized the existence Of the
third estate which has risen within twenty years. and
which Is destined 20 exercise during the next century
the controlling political power of this country Politicians
may still hope pack their conventions organise their
corrupt committees parcel out the patronage, and
distribute rewards and emouments as formerly,
but the Independent press Of the country will
overthrow their concerted plans and scatter their
hopes Ike the withered leaves Of autumn bo-
fore the rude blasts Of November. Tho Herald was
the first journal in this country to naugurate this new
Power and consequently has received and will continue
TO the bitter magniy Of all who disconnected

The black republicans here Ike who have wandered
for years the boys Of anatacism and Swcdenborgan
characterization, in extaces at the least crumb Of
comfort you give TO them hen you impartial chroni
cler Of passing events indicate how they may succeed
and speak cheering word for their Rocky Mountain
candidate. They have chased phanoms for years, and
been deceived time out of mind by their papers and quasi
PATRIOTS but since you have at intervals told them how
they might succeed, they begin tn resemble the man who
drew the elephant they are looking round 10 see whaS
to do with their prizes, If they get them.
But ID not to the republicans your recent course has
been the most suggestive and instructive it has far
significant lesson 10 the rejecting, intelligent and
conservative cemocTats who properly comprehend what
is the true mission OF free press They are panied to
find you cannot give to their cause your powerful in

and realize the distinction you make between the sound
conservative principles of the constitution and the Till
clustering, yacilatDg punderers who hope TO ride into
power the ancient reputation OF the national demo-
eraoy. Hence it is while nearly al the democracy here
regret you not advocating their with all
might and main, they nevertheless feel you render
ing the party patriotic service and the country great
and ncacuabc benefit by arrestng before too late
the elevation TO power of the motley crew OF brinde po

skrts Of whoever, like hcawber, should turn ~ and
who now are anticipating TO appropriate all the Offices

Of the two cities Of Philadelphia and New York. together
with these who have studied chcanery and fraud here,
would break down any administration, though the i'm

pointing out to the honest masses what risks the demo-
crazy in having such harequins gain power, you
really doing Mr. Buchanan service which an open adj

knowledge OF the public Of this couIry, drawn from
the closest observation of thirty years. and In Europe
you have also become familiar with the designs of
diplomatic representatives. Office give you no sta

constitution and point out the reckless the abandoned
and the profigate and matters not who succeeds you
will continue TO secure the respect Of those who regard
patriotism superior TO raTty.
