HOW CANE THE BUBBLE TO BURST
II is more than month since the name Of
Mr. buchanan was extensively circulated as the
gentleman who was the go-between in the re-
nor,ed attempt to strike bargain between Mr..
clav and Gen. Jackson. Before i. was public.
" Given up by the editor Of the Telegraph, we
warned the Notwithstanding, and especially
call;np the attention Of the Jackson men, to the
facts at which we were polnting-that envy and

their leaders; and that ii care was not taken

s,rnction. We more Immediately directed at

crate the overthrow Of Jackson, than see him
take to his confidence other men IN preference
n themselves. We especially gave II as our
opinion that Ingham was soading Zen. jack

that Carter Beverly was moved oy Inc ar"ul In

these how could such a man as Carter Beverly
have ever found his way 10 the table and the
6re.side. and become the correspondent nj the
Hero Of New Orleans? The design was deeply
laid TO take advantage Of his warmth oil tenn
