Daily Richmond Whig

Elegant flattery to the Hero, and to the Editor of the Enquirer—from the Rockingham Register.

"It is to us, individually, cause of the highest gratification, and of sincere congratulation among the friends of General Jackson, that the course he has pursued in the administration of public affairs thus far has secured the cordial and undivided support of the powerful paper, (the Enquirer.) With eyes of a mighty republican press, thrown over it from every quarter of the Union, the Administration of President Jackson will bid defiance to all the malignant assaults of the enemies of freedom and reform. And as it has been built up by the free-will offerings of an intelligent and a grateful people; so they will continue to yield it their spontaneous support: so while its illustrious head and his noble coadjutors are laboring with Herculean strength and zeal, maugre the unprincipled hostilities of the Catilinarian Clay and his blinded partizans, to cleanse the Augean Stable. We would be glad to cheer, with our feeble voice, the talented Editor of the Enquirer, in his career of glory and of usefulness: and to point him, not to a crown of Martyrdom, but of immortality, which just posterity and impartial history will place on his brow after the warfare of this world is over."

Mr. Ritchie ought to be grateful at being excused from martyrdom—but it is unreasonable to postpone his coronation, until "after the warfare of this world, is over." Could not the Register consent to an earlier day?
