"SITS THE WIND T'HERE7n

We never imagined that from Mai Noah we
should live to sec an appeal to the magnanimity
and patriotism OF the opposition-no Maor-sCo
ahtIon" Senators; an appeal to them too, against a
portion of the Republican party, We are, nowey-
er, glad to see it. We are glad that Noah has at
last discovered and acknowledged the merits OF
those whom he has so long misunderstood, and so
long abused The Major is mistaken indeed in
some of the sentiments which lie has been so good
to put in the mouths of the opposition Senators
they are opposed TO Notification and Disuniou
but scarcely less opposed TO Gen. Jackson, whose
continuance at the head of the Government then
verify believe will produce ruin and distInion in
another way. Noahs remarks are in reply to an
opinion expressed by Gen. Green that Van Buren's
nomination to London, would bo rejected by the
Senate:
Rrmarks-We rcpubiish the above not because
it is the surnise conjecture of Duff Green that
tho nomination of Martin Van Buren, of the State
of New York, as Minister to London, will be re-
jocted by the Senate, but because we have rcnsou
to believe that he derives his information from
which rather desire to have this discredita
bic act contaminated than otherwise We shall
not speculate upon the course of the Senate OH
this nomination, Presuming that If the person
named by the President has neither character nor
qualifications, that nc will be rejected, as of right
he ought to bout it seems TO us that some Of
Duff Green's very confidential friends calculate in
a manner rather too sanguine their power Of car
rying with them the entire force of the opposition
Senators.
We rather think some changes have taken place
since last winter, and the union 60 iniurc Gen.
Jackson with hand and to tear up the tariff by
the ROOFS with tho other, will no longer exist. We
say with Duff Green eve mako no pretcnsions o

hold the following language to Mr.. Calhoun's
