"WAsHINGToN. April I, 1880.
81 have before me letter from Virginia, dated al
Richmond, which states that the improve nj of the
cause OF correct political principles in that State,
c,eds all previous calculation. The writer adds that
there is complete breaking up of the Jackson party
and prospect that to the great modification. discOn-
future and dsmay of Mr.. Rtchie it is by no means out
OF the pale Of probability that he State Of Virginia will
give her vote for Mr. Calhoun. This idea presume
is founded the supposon that Mr.. Van Buren, is not
candidate; an, therefore, Virginia, rather than give
her vote again Tor Jackson, will take up Calhoun II
this be the case, il is clear that Mr. Van Buren, by his
cunning Is ovetreachng himself aud will lose the State
OF Virginia now and il now, forever. Its stated thot
Air Weo''srs speech has done and is doing every
thing
What a miserable budget of idle and ridiculou, mis-.
representations is here The zach party broken
up but stands as firm The hypothesis OF ow
modification, discontinue and disinay, is as gratuitous
as II untrue never for one moment entered into
our heads that MIR. Calhoun could beat Jackson
Virginia; or that any other could at the Elec
ton. We never ente tanned doubt that Gen. j. could
beat the held We never wrote, spoke, or thought
oherwisc.-Who can this notable writer be- who has
kindly chosen TO ascribe an opinion we never en-
tertaned TO the State ITSELF revolution i'm her poll

have begun TO discuss the subject of the next Presi-
dental Election, and have discovered material divers-

c. and Enquirer, the U. 5. Telegraph the Richmond
Enquirer, the Albany Argus to the following
tcise ana logical conclusion:
"Frsm careful peusal of these discussions without
pretending 10 much knowledge of the subject derived
from other sources, we infer that Gen. Jackson il him
self strongly DESTROYS Of being again brought forward
as candidae-,hst the Courier knowing this, wishes
to have the credit OF taking lead in his nomina
but that the Telegraph being conversant with
the sentiments OF those officers of the government
whose duties lead them to intimate pc sonai
nexon with the President has discovered that the Pre-
Mt Is totally incompetent 10 the proper discharge OF
the duties OF his office, and has begun suspect that
majority OF the people will make the discovery
be fore another election
The first step takes have doubt false one
We have good grounds to believe, that Gen is really
DESTROYS OF retirement but he is not the be dr
ven to it by factions and falsehoodsand entertain
no doubt, that he will sacrifice his nclnations to
those OF his counry-and that he holds himself bound
10 obey the wishes OF the people, if they should desire
his services for another termAs to the great discov-
cry which the d. Advertiser processes TO make i'm the
name of the Telegraph of his total incompetency TO
" the proper discharge of the dutie. of his office W,
leave it TO the Telegraph itself to contradict it-not
doubng mat the assertion is perfectly gratuitous and
unauthorized.
The las Baltimore Republican speaks much more to
The point when it says " that the able article in The
Albany Argns accorjS in spirit with what we under
stand to be the views of the whole Jackson party ard
speaks the general sentiment OF the people in favor OF
The present executive. We are further pursusded,

Improbable contesi.-" With these evils in prospect
upon any division among ourselves and with the know

That this continued harmony will result, in the re
election OF Genersi Jackson, we have all reason, un-
der every view Of the subject to expect; not as can
didae formally nominated by this that man. or thi.
or that body but by the spontaneous voice OF h-
