Il. wonld indeed be the arch Magician he has been
called, IL he could thus cheat Gen Jackson, out of com
mon sense and common honesty. As the Charleston
Patriot well observes: alt Is astonishing how far our
specializing politicians, who inditc epistlcs for the ne VS.
papers, can look into tuturity. The faculty OF political
.divihauon has been cultivated by them wi,h so much
success, mat they can forctell the combinations which
any succession of circumsia c $ may produce six or
eight years hence, with marvellous facility. 1hus, we
have been informed, that Mir. Van Buren,, specializing
on he Presidents possible %intrmities, looks iorw nd 10
the period. otter beng elected Hice- President, when
he will slide with ease into the Executive scat. Now,
hero are t"o contingencies which enter into this pro.
found calculation. First, afr Van Buren, is ,obe elect
ed Vice Presidents; and secondly, the Presidsn, is TO be
afflicted with such bodily siimcnt, that he ~iil be uu
able TO perform the functions OF Chief Magistrate. We
have heard MIR. Van Buren, called the Magician, but
his spells must surpass all prev Gus potency, il he can
first charm himself into the Chair Of Vice. President,
and then charm Gen. Jackson out OF that OF President"
And he must bs equally a great Magician, whose in
carnations can extend Three Thousand Miles, across
the Atlantic-and when Minister to London, can witch
and work the President into the use OF his high Office
Tor the exaltaion of Mr. v. b to the next Pre- sidency.
When Mr.. v. Il. crosses the Atlantic, il is really 10
be hoped that all such insinuations against Gen. Jack
son will be ~dissipated into Thin air.
II Breeze !-When a particular change was made In
Mr.. Madison's Cabinet in 1911, Mr.. Gideon Granger
was asked, " What effects il would have "-Shrug-
glng ms shoulders, " suppose (says he,J IRE are TO

We suppose, from the present signs Of the horizon,
tha' we are TO hare another breeze. One of the Bali
more Opposition papers calls it " another explosion"
the n. intelligencer says, that To the Letter of
MIR. Branch, it is rumored, will soon be added an expo.
sition, by Mr.. ~Ingham, of the causes of the late disso-
iuuon oil the Cabinet. No commentary can add force to
me expressions made use of by Mr.. Branch. ANY AT

would but detract from the strength which il derives
rom It's simplicity, plainncss, and directness We
nave not conversed with either Mr.. Ingham or Mr..
branch, since their dismission from office but we
KNOW IL they have a spark OF human pride or feeling
ABOUT mem, that they must feel indignant at the treat
ment they have received. (Ofcomse, the more mis-.
chie' the lntelligencer can make, the be ter for its
cause y" Our conjecture is confirmed, beyond doubt,
as 10 one OF them, by the above interesting exposition (:
and 1t can hardly be doubted, that a kindred ! feeling
perervades the bosom of Mr.. Ingham 1t is said that he.
too, like his late colleague in Office, is about to return
home without waiting, as he had been desired to DO for
his successor"
The Baltimore Chronicle ~intimates, that Mr. Inqham
is about TO publish an Expositi n, in the shape o. a pam
phiet, In the course of the week.-We anticipae the
pamphiet WITH some interest. Its statements and proofs
shaIi be impaitially weighed. We shall hasten TO
lay ubeiore our readers.-We presume, from the anti
cipated character of its contents, that it is likely TO pro-
duce a statement from the other side Of the question.
