lions Of legal contract, for the very obvious
rs.eon- that such contract would be illegal,
md !, Is not usual 10 commit such engagements
~ n,ner We have no doubt whatever, how.
svor that Mr.. Van Buren's reelection was the
SIGNAL for open action, on the belief that he

T legislature at Albany, so as to secure, by means
e Cnveus proceedings there, the votes OF New.
VI 20 III, Caucus here. We have as little
doub, that this belief has been countenanced by
~. honorable member himself, We have, Of
cour,e. no personal knowledge Of this lact and,
r. wc had. as il must have been conhdentialy
communicated TO us, we could not, with propri,
s,v make use Of it. But we have seen 1t Stat.
cd in at lcas, one print at distance, as certain
news from Washington, that s'''s'' had as
sur,d the writer, that New York would IN.
doubtedly 60 for an Opposition candidate for
the Presidency, naming Gen. Jackson, Tor VOID.
IN that effect, for we have not preserved the pa
rer>-and we have no doubt OF meeting with
other testimony OF the same sort before this
discussion i. ended. We notice this demand
for proof, however, only out of clvillty TO the
| Fd;,ors Of the Argus, not feeling that such
6on,e as we made use Of, requires literal de-
fence I. certainly expresses, as fact, nothing
,,,ore than tba: Mr. V. D. will do his best 10
nav the vote ofha Stale on the side Of his part
That ,he hopes Of that party depend upon his
.h,l;tv to do so. no one will affect TO doubt
On this point we have the following sign from
tho Mercury Of the party at Charleston, where
the distinguished Senator now IS, and which Is,
therefore, entitled to great respect asa source Of
testimony:
"The prospects OF Gen. Jackson, already sufi.
GENTLY confounding 10 the Coalition, become eve.
nv day more and decisive. There is now
clear and irresistible majority on the part q
the Oppostion in the Senate, consisting Olivier

> Columbia Telescope of March .,
"Iail 10 thee, Tbane of Cawdor! All hail,
that shalt be King hereafter" So Mr.. V,y RI.

may so turn out, that the party may NOT be 81.

cure for him what support Mr.. Van Burcn may
DE able 10 confer, by pledge that. in the even,
of the success Of their combined onerations hi,
reward Tor such illustrious service shall be d..
ierred but 10 another Presidential term. As,o
being friends with Mr.. Van Buren,. which rhe
Telescope kindly recommends to US, this is ,be
hrs' information which we have had that we
are not most excellent friends of his. He is no,
The only one Of our best friends that belong, to
the party which had Concentration of senti.
ment' here, last winter. We certainly owe
him no enmity, and wish him no worse evil
than good wife and long life: but that is no
reason why he should be allowed to consider
The People Of this country (to use figure of the
Sage Of Monticello) as being born with saddle
on their back, for him to mount and ride
When he betakes himself to his proper duties
and confines the employment Of his talent. to
the sufficiently arGuops duties oflcgisla,ion, in
stead Of devoting himself to pulling down and
putting up Presidents and Vice Presidents. W.
shall be the first to award him the praise he
will have earned.
Before we quit this subject, we will iustmrn.
