Andrew Jackson for the Presidency, but have not
nominated candidate for the Vice Presidency
Mr. Butler, the agent of Mr.. Van Buren, in getting
up the caucus, not having received. probably, in
structinns on that head from his principal. This
tallirs very much with the statement of our Wash
ngton correspondent to day, respecting the want of
union and harmony between Mr.. Van Buren, and the
Calhoun portion of the Jackson party. We pre-
sumo the friends of the administration will socn
begin to think it time for them to show their strength
aud by State Convention at Albany, or elsewhere,
concentrate their efforts. The good cause has not
at any time looked so propituously for the last four
or five months as it now does Energy and concert

Virginia Electors.-The most impudent asser-
tions are made in the combination prints in respect
to the names of Madison and Monroe, which 1t IS
well known head the list Of electors in Virginia,
friendly to Mr.. Adams. These names, it IS SAID,
have been used without permission, and not only
without permission, but in opposition to the SEN
timents of the parties themselves. sNow what
are the facts ?-On the 18th January the Virgi-
mia State Convention adjourned, having unanimous
ly placed at the head of their electoral ticket the
names Madison and Monroe aohich zrere both pro
posed to the convention By neighbours and friends
of these respected individats 1t is now Twenty-Five
days since this nomination was published and not
withstandng the sneers, the anticipaons and the
inventions of the jackson press, it has not been
disavowed in any manner by the gentlemen concern
ed What is the inference from this statement ?
clearly this-that being thus selected by the free
men Of their state to discharge one of the most
cred, important, honorable, duties that can be i'm
posed upon man, they do not feel themselves. at lib
erty to shrink from it.

1t is very unusual circumstance Tor us to devote

the Address from the Virginia Anti-J ckson Conyen-

It is one of the most able and lucid political docu-

NEW-iORK.

From New York we learn. through the medium
of the Albany Argus, that the Opposition Members,
composing majority of the Legislative Bodies OF
the State Of New orls, held meeting on Thursday
evening last and came to the resolution (Which must
have been before uery doubtful matter) to support
Gen. Jackson for the Presidency. 1t is exceeding
y fortunate for the country, rst that these gentle
men, who were smuggled into the Legislature at the
last election, have voice n nor control over, the
election of electors, at the ensuing election and,
secondly, that, if they had ever so great control
over that election, there is apparent probability
that the votes of the State of ew- ork of any
part ofthem, will be necessary to secure the reel
ection of the incumbent to the Presidency, though
we have doubt that he will receive a large ma
jority Of them. We perceive, in the proceedings
of the popular branch of the Legislature, much
more pregnant ssign" than this, and one ominous to
the extraordinary Combination, by which the pow
er of New-York has of late been brought to bear
against her Obvious interest. We allude to thepass-
aye the following resolutions, by nineysepen votes
to three. in the House of Representatives Of the
