Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1831-05-26

the folio wing from the Washington Teleg raph
Of the Goth inst. which, in our estimation, ,
leaves ii nc longer matter ofdoubt that .Hr.
Calhoun ,riH not support The re election of IN
d. ei9 Jackson. We have uoiiciScd some Of its
most prominen, expressions:
awe have before us ltter written by
republican men.be, OF the New York Legisa-
tnrP, - dated at Albany, in winch he asse u
hat il was there sHid 10y some OF Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's friends, that he was o lie nomIna ted as a
candidate for the Vice Presidency on Gen
Jalksoh's ticket ; and that some OF tbenI went
so far as 10 say that 10 case OF the reelection
Of Gen. Jackson. with NJ. Van Buren,, as Vice
President, the former would retire TO the Her
mitage aud leave the magician in possession
Of tn robes IT office, as VII as the powers OF
the executive. That MIR. Van Buren, has long
entertained a hope OF smuggling himself INTO
the Presidency. we have believed, and publicly
Stated. His friends aud organs have moi de-
MED MS intention of being Candidate for the
Vice Presid.Ncy-,o far from I, they have la
bored to force Nj. Cal"ona and his trends to
pledge themselves 10 an unconditional support
OF the re election of Gcnei al Jackson, and thus
10 i,r omote The elevation OF Mr.. Van Bure :.
rha, this is The purpose Of the article before
rs, is paipab.e. 1he gents of Mr.. Van Buren,
charged IN March, 1889. that Mr.. Calhoun ia
tended 10 he a candidate IN opposition, and
they would now to,ture n deu,al vi his inten-
ton then TO ba a Candidate, into pledge to
support noio the reelection o. Gen. Jackson.
Ihs relation between Gen. Jacksom aud Mr. Cal
hom has been materially changed, since March,
1880, aud II may be possible, mat Mr.. Calhoun
cdnnot, Nth propriety, gre that support 10 he
reelection Of General Jackson, uhica II pas his
| intenti0n 10 gtre in 1880. General Jackson
cannot be Te-eiectrd without The support OF his
! old friends, aud We regrr, TO see that hose who
| nave us confidence are doing vi Ia their pow
er To separate hun .ium them.
Ihe indu, en,ent TO the reelection of Gen.
Jackson was a desire to preserve the Union
and MAINTAIN the integrity of the Republican
party. yit @au become apparent lint these
xie TO be sacrificed TO Pfomotehe uHsrior schemes
y Mr.. Pan BIZ en-. II IS manifest that Gea.
Jackson mil 10 longer be The candidate Of The
Republican party. bM OF Mr. Tan Buren, aud
u NE =" circumstances Of 1870
| The reader will be- at no loss. from the intimate
political relations existing between Nh. Cal
houn aud the Editor OF the Telegraph, in deter
mining what degree OF importance to attach to
the foregoing article. That its publication is
| expressly authorised by Mr.. Calhoun is pretty
certain--and that it is sanctioned by his pro-
| minenl friends We have no doubt. We tn ere
fore regard the fact ms settled, that, whether
Mr.. Calhoun is a candidate for the Presidency
or not, he II the great body Of his friends will
not support Gen. Jackson. We really do not
see how he can do o,when not only he is him
self treated with the greatest indignity, but hi,
personal aud political friends, without whose
aid Gen. 'cksou never would have been cleo
,ed P'esideni, are placed unGer the ban of pro-
scriplion. Possibly however the threat is thrown
out, an terrorem, TO keep Mr.. Van Buren,
from he Vice Presidency and that Mr.. Cal.
houn's support OF opposition to the re election
OF Gen. Jackson will be coaiingent on the cir
cunstance whether Mr.. V. BIS name is run
for the Vice Presidency in connection wGh
Gen Jackson. " Nous Ferrous" as the En-
qurer says.
