From the .qlea andria Gazette.

| The Blackjack Gazette, published in Erie Coun
tv, New York, concludes an article on the subject
Of MIR. Van Buten's political projects, with these
sentiments:
"While on this subject, it may not be improper
to say what we believe to be the fact, that should
an election for president take place this day week
in this section Of the country, that the present in
cumbent would receive 4-5tIs of the poll"
/" If Mr.. V. b chooses TO spread his sails from
mizenpeak to hying,jib,' in the wake OF the mill
tary candidates top-Sallant's, let him do lt-but
| ct him not promise to take New York along as

The attempt Of this celebrated ntriguer to sell
the So votes Of New York to the Jackson faction.
has ELECTED such unequivocal expressions of indis-
nation in every part of his State, and indeed in the
| United States, that his brother managers" have
found it necessary to deny that he is a candidate
for the Vice Presidency, or that Mr.. Calhoun will
be withdrawn.-Thus after having completed the
r. Combinations" and announced himself in bis

Spirit OF the new arrangement, and the Caucus
Candidate for the Vice Presidency, it seems that
Mr.. Van Buren, is to be dismissed with as little
ceremony as was Mr.. Woodbury. of New Hamp-
Shire whom we learn from good authority was
caught in the same gufl-trap. Yhe National Adj
vccate Of Tuesday last, speaks in more subunc-
tive style than it has recently been wont to
do. The Editor noac thinks that i" If the public
opinion OF the great State of New York be allowed
to developc itself in its own way-and If the art,
of intrguers and demagogues, either in this or
other states, npped in the bud the vote of this
state at the next Presidential election ,ciH aston

1t will be perceived that there are at least two

iF. therefore. the sentiments of Mr.. Van Buren,
and his "organ,'' are allowed TO tleyelope them
selves IN their own way, and pass for truth; and
If the influence Of the friends of the Atministra

which the Editor very correctly observes. {. w;U

The attempts made in some places to represent
the Administration as being disposed 10 favor or
revive the Federal party. not the least remark
aole OF the means practised by the opposition to
deceive the people. Directly the opposite charoe
IS brought against it in Other parts Of the Union
IN New Jersey, in Philadelphia, in Delaware. an
pea's are made to the Federalists to enlist under
wy udn"cr oi opposltion, because the Administra-
ion is too democratic. in Virginia, in the City Of
New York, and in some other places, it is afledsed
on the contrary to be too Federal. These oppo.
sue accusations may be considered as fairly neu
traiizing each other. The truth il. that the old
