In speaking of the germs Of discord which
are beginning To show themselves IN the Jack

the an, \. Courier s. Enquirer" journal
which processes to be, and which is generally

Mr.. Van Barren and to others, in reply, which
have appeared in the Washington Telegraph

affects to speak, the sentiments OF NJ, Calhoun.
The Courier" few weeks az a, declared that
neither Mr.. Van Biren nor Mr.. Calhoun would
be candidates for the next Presidency and thai

coalition papers, exhibiting lkose gentlemen

protested TO speak kHoUtHglg, so Ear as the

10 be exposed, until it should be too late for the
'onlhron to begin 10 harness himself for the

nave no doubt, has the sanction of Gen. Jack
son himself; who has permitted his name TO
be used as a cover Tor he wiles OF his Secreta

OF Weakening the chances of his Vice Presr
