1HE PRINTING OF THE Next CONGRESS AS the
opening OF the session of Congress approaches the
interest and anxiety amongst the politicians with
respect to the public printing increases The set
temen of this question will be- indeed of very con-
siderable Importance, as it will afford us accurate
data from which to Judge of the relative degree of
strength possessed by the administration and oppo-
sing influences in the democratic party


There are three sets of candidates for the printing
Of Congress, in the field. The Union-the Consti-
tuition and the United States Journal are all to be
before Congress competitors for the public print
ing Some of them must be disappointed All cam
not succeed Who is likely TO have the best
chance2 The Union will, Of course, receive the sup.
port of the administration. 1t is the organ of Mr.
Polk-called into existence by him, and will have
all his influence exerted in lis behalf No doubt il
will receive great number of votes in both Houses
but the question is, whether all the other candidates
will not agree to combine against it in order to de-
feat Mr.. Ritchlel A combination of similar ele-
ments defeated Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Polk and his
administration will occupy in Congress, in rela
ton TO this question of the printing, a position
quite similar TO that occupied by Mr. Van
Buren before the Baltimore Convention Van
Buren, men-Cahoun men-Cass men-all sorts
Of mems men-who are looking forward 10
the succession, can hardly be expected TO vote for
Mr. Richie 1t is very true, he may be perfectly in
dependent and open for the succession" but il is
very well known that he do exactly what he is


ordered to do by the Executive and of course as il


hardly be supposed that all of the candidates for
the succession are in the confidence oftheExecutive


no little dehcacy will be felt by many members of
Congress, in voting for the support Of an organ over
u,hi hov have n1


day be turned directly against them. The Constr
futton IS very confident OF receiving the printing of
the Senate, by sort of compromise We do NOT
know how that may be. Then the United States
Journal expects TO come IN for share but we don't
know what influence they can exert, Tor they do not
possess any distinctive character Still thev NAV
create annoyance. flea can be very troublesome


AT all events, there will be vast deal of IN
trguing, and schemlng, and plotting, and canvass
ing on the subject Of this very important question:
There has IN fact, been all summer running
and secret contest about this business Many of IN.
politicians are opposed 10 2itche, and by getting The
leterwrlters atWashington to second their schemes
they have been very industriously working TO di
minish his chances. How successful thew will be
is yet to be seen. On the whole, we conceive tha,
the contest is in very doubtful position As il will
be the first thing determined by the new House Of
Representatives, It will give us very acceptable
inking OF the strength which Mr. Polk's admins.
tratlon can muster on the opening of the session.
