Insist on making man Of importance Of US,
whether our modesty consents or not We recol-
lect that during the admins tration Of Pierce the
same paper gave credit for writing an i'm
portant portion Of one Of his annual messages
saying Of one portion Of it-That's Marcys wri-
ting; Of another, that's Cpshings, and Of stin
another, that's Doug Wallachs. Fifty times, too,
did 1t insist upon paying Us the compliment, in
those days, Of athibuting editorial articles from
our own pen, at times to Pisrce's pen; Others to
Cushing's; others, again, to Marcy's, and not un-
frequently to that Of Jefferson Davis.
Thus the Herald sought to make ~ famous; but
never succeeding a. capitally a. we did in our
effort to make it, conductor famous (somewhat
after the same fashion) by getting up the we'll
known joke about that never-to-be-forgotten
" diplomatic coat " made In Paris to at Mr. J. G.
B., In anticipation Of the reception Of the commits
sion for that full mission, that never went out
from the State Department. That joke found q
Judgment In every newspaper published in the
United States, and nearly every one published on
the other side Of the Atlantic also. For years Ii
stuck and stuck-like the shirt of Nessus-unt.l
never was poor mortal 20 blistered by anything Of
the sort, az was him Of the Herald. Nevertheless
there was no malice whatever on our part In get
ting 1t upi but purely determination that he
should not have all the fun to himself; for he wss
then engaged in making a. much a possible out
OF our friends Of the Administration. We take Ii
for granted that the recollection Of that diplo-
matic-coat" joke induced this effort to pay Us
back for 1t, even at this late day.
But word In the Hsrald's ear. We doubt IL
1t "sees anything green" about the Star. In
truth we are happy to know that Its private
opinion is that the Star 10 by means verdant In
any particular 1t usually gives us credit for
shrewdness and enterprise unparalleled In tie
conduct Of any other Newspaper published in
this region-for too great enterprise and shrewd-
ness to admit the idea that we can be ambitious
to swap the profit and prestige Of the Stars well
known entire Independence in all matters for the
doubtful honor and, in these times, very trouble
some snd proh.less vocation Of being the organ Of
any party or administration
Our friends Of the Herald, by the by, will
doubtless do u the particular favor Of taking &C.
casion 10 announce, editorally, that In gracefully
declining their soft impeachment about that
organship Of Lincoln's administration, we are
preparing to out, commencing next week, a
new series Of the Weekly Star, at the very low
price OF one dollar per annum, which will prove
the largest, richest, raciest, most active, news-y
and agreeable hebdominal the world ever had an
opportunity to secure for but single dollar per
year! Every man, woman, and child In the
country win look to Washington city throughout
the next year a. the point from whence intelIi.
gence Of universal and most absorbing public
Interest must emanate from day to day. Already
the Stars accounts Of current w ashi ton matters
are more quoted by other journals than those Of
any other fifty newspapers. and very great interest
Ii taken in it's 1.-THE Sta,'s) course as the Herald,
brief two lines printed above show; and, with
the Herdld's help. we intend that all our fellow.
citizens everywhere shall be constantly agog to
see what the Weekly Star has to say concerning
what may be transPiring here. We would mt give
the prospective profits from this DOLLAR WEEKLY
STAR, for double those Of the organship at this
point Of any administration or party.
BY the by, our fellow citizens of the Federal
Metropolis, ladies and gentlemen, young and old j..
who may desire to keep friends at a distance
posted concerning doings and sayings here, had
better lose no time In stepping into the Star Office
and subscribing FOR copies of this new series-the
DOLLAR WEEKLY STAR-to be mailed regularly
to them, every Friday morning.
THH PANIC MAKERS, we uus., will ha We their

there appears to be quite AZ many az elsewhere
Those In that city are evidently operators as
'bears'' In the stock market, aiming to "make
their jack" out Of a fall Ia prices. The manner In
which Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Ten

to themselves in the crisis, bids fair, however.

The question with the people Of the States named
above IL simply whether they will consent to have
their slave property rendered still more insecure
in order that the people Of the States further
South, whose slave property 10 now certainly se
cure, may, a. some Of them fancy, render It still
more secure. The extreme Southern Slater can
not precipitate themselves even, into revolution.
without well nigh entirely depriving the northern
tier Of slaveholding States Of all hope of the
future security of their slave property Hence the

their own, in their proposed action. which the
northern tier Of slaveholding States really have.
Under such circumstances what could be in worse
faith towards Virginia, Kentucky, MARYLAND,
Missouri, and Tennessee than the matter of the
late speech Of Mr.. Keitt delivered a. Charleston.
wherein he proclaims tito be the purpose of South
