We must beg the patience of our Correspondents
| and our readers. We throw into our columns as
much as they can contain a quart measure
not hosd bushei And if the public documents,
the proceedings of the State and Federal Lcgisla-
lures the essays of our Correspondence pamphlets
OF oV pages, and the eiectioncering matter in
riety OF FORMS press with such accumulated force
upon us rs TO crowd out even the eiftisons Of our
own pens, We think VIC may put in some little
cl;nm to the forberance OF friends, who have honor
| cd US With their communications We making
every effort 20 lay before our readers the proceed
ngs OF the primary assemblies of various counties;
and II some are kept tack longer than Is Desirable
II IS because those which first publish are
better calculated for the space which thew occupy
! We are aware Of another fact; that many of our
readers arc satiatcd with such discussions but we
must beg them TO recoect, that the season for
such discussions will soon be over and that they
cannot be more anxious than are, 10 see our
columns assume more diversified and nisccilane-
Gus aspect.

Notwithstanding the clear and decisive sSigns
OF the tines" the n. Intelligencer has still the
reckless audacity to say that ''the prints of the
Combination find consolation, under the prospect

ma, in the hope OF getting uoteS in Kentuc-
Ky ,---"Prospect Of losing Virginia and n. Caro-

can asonish us in the columns of the Intelligen

present prospect open to its Editors? That which

Extracts Of a letter from most respectable Gen

''The elements that determine contests for Off ce
I IN this State, are very much unon the Jackson
side, &c. The cause of the old Hero moves on

there Is not the shadow of doubt. The Admin
istTatlon has, however, many warm and devo-
ted friends IN the State; but, az first said, the
elements that are to decide the contest are deci-
dedly Jacksonian. And the assault of the Adj
Tnlniotration party upon those elements proves
their blindness, and that they devoted to des-
truction."
