below, that it is altogether contest between
the friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, on the one
side and the friends Of Mr.. Calhoun on the
other and that either party rather than
that the other should be successful, would
prefer even that Gen. Jackson should again
be put upon the course. We have no sym
pathy with either of these parties: nor
have we on this other side any belief, that
the two rival factions, will suffer the Gener-
al to brake ground again. 1t may be well
perhaps to hold him before the publick for
awhile to cover operations, but the managers
know well enough what they are about and
will be heedful that he shall not be in their
way they know when to pull the strings
and withdraw him from the contest. 1t was
never intended by any of his supporters, that
~, any of the kno,cing ones, that he should
stand in the gap more than four years. He
could not be used longer -
The NEXT PREsIDEScy. The New-York Cour-
icr backed by Felix Grundy M. M. Noah, the Amer.
can Sentinel and the Baltimore Republican, per-
sists in the declaration that Gen. Jackson is to be
the Candidate and the sole Candidate of the jack
son Republican party for the next Presidency. The
Telegraph pron0unces the annunciation ill timed,
unadvised and unauthorized" The Courier in
sists, on the one hand, that jackson will be-, and
that were he not, Mr. Van Ruren would be the
Candidate of the Jackson party. The Telegraph,
on the other hand, which is quite as near to the
sources of authentick information as is the Courier
denies both propositions ;-insisting that it by no
means follows that Mr.. Van Buren, is to be the Can
didate of the party, in case Gen. Jackson is not.
The Courier in rejoinder, discredits the claim of
the Telegraph to speak "from authority !" and re-
peas the declaration that Gen. Jackson will be con-
tnued, for another term, 1t proceeds also to tell
unpleasant truths relative to the character of
the Telegraph. The Courier even pretends to doubt
Duf's loyalty; and suspects an intention on his
part, openly to assail the General should he again
take the field. Instead Of advocating the course,
says the Courier, pursued by the administration,
Duff Green has devoted his columns to personal
contest between himself and Mr.. Webster or to let
tiers filed with fusome fattery Of himself, and his
violent nvectives against all those who do not ac-
mis- infalIbity Instead of dign6ed, able
support-such an one as the PEOPLE think ought to
be rendered to the patriotick measures winch our
venerable President has brought before Congress,
we find either total silence or the Io,c inoectioe
,chich characterized his course pending the late con-
test"
The amount of this controversy we take to be
this /; both MIR. Van Buren, and Mr. Calhoun aspire
to the succession; but each would prefer the con-
tnuance of the present incumbent to the success of
the other. Mr.. Van Buren's organ, the Courier, is
willing that General Jackson should be considered
" as the candidate, and the only candidate" until
the proper time arrives for the annunciaton Of Mr.
Van Buren,. Mr.. Calhoun's organ, the Telegraph,
is fearful that the nomination of Jackson cand-
date for reelection will be prejudcial to the inter-
nff Vnapfu and &rofop hot fha nafto
should remain, in doubt till Mr.. Calhoun is prepar
ed openly to take the field
