SENATOR and GOVERNOR.

SENATOR and GOVERNOR. m
Gopernor. In our last conversation understood -
that in May next, jackson TO be Withdrawn as G
candidate for the presidency. You have doubt +,
less communed freely with the men on whom we q
must depend! a
Senator Not word--not even a whisper OF sign n
has passed the subject yetwe all understand each
other perfectly. !, d
Cos How, in the midst of this silence, can the
ways and means for comprising our enas DC oeS's-
ed ? Ii
Sen. All the wheels in motion, and yet the
moving power is invisible. You will permit me to
be rather mysterious at present, though frankness rs
my favorlte character.
Coz. Can we place any dependence on the state
of Maine
Sen. There are some choice spirits in that state,
who have figured at Washington but as soon as
they had got q good southern polish they were or
dered to private life. Adams must prevail IN that

| Gov What think you of Massachusetts Could
not the Boston Statesman bring the people to rgnt
way of thinking? or are there not other editors who
might be relied on?
Sen. Mercy defend us from all states governed
by Lincons AS to the Statesman, twill do more
hurt than good to any party which relies on 1t.
There is yeternn editor in Boston, who, if we are
Judge by the length Of his public service, might
i be supposed to be old but he is only OF fair ma
urity as to body and mind. He knows all the bea-
tngs of the public pulse in that State, and might be
n of great to u.s. He may be tried, but believe
II that all your gubernatorial dominion would not turn
him from the Of his ways. There is in Bos-
J. ton younger editor who, if he could be engaged,
'i might give some hope; but he laughs at all par
ties and cares for and values his personal IN
Dependence and the free exercise of his fine talents,
l. above all price. There is hope OF Massachus-
a. etts In New Hampshire, lchabod Bartlett alone,
e would grind TO powder all the force which we could
J. muster. Rhode Island might possibly be for us
!, and as Vermont feels the benefit OF the Northern
Canal we would hope for the best in that quarter.
R. As to Connecticut, every elecor OF that stubborn
ss State will be for Adams.
S, Gov If there is so little hope of anti-Adams
;, votes from New-England, why do you keep up so
H. many Jackson papers there?
ne Sen. 1t is but for the present. They are cheap
on gimmerng lights kept up partly to draw off the at
up ention of the enemy, but principally to fabrica
articles, which shall make an impression at tn
