It is said that Col. WALLACE. OF FaqIer'
is to oppose Mr.. JoHx S. BARBOUR Tor .oh-
eress. Mr.. Barbour Is known to side with MT.
Calhoun in the present controversy, ana Is
said that Col. Wallace Is directly the other way.
Although Col. Wallace has not been announced
we hear this mentioned by gentlemen from MS
county. The Culpepper Gazette in Mr. bar bar
bour's county, has come out strong against N.h
Buren, and the ..plot,' and speaks energetical-
" in praise of the Vice President. We believe
that Mr.. Barbour's opinions on this head VIII
find favor with majority of his constituents

The attempt in the Northern Neck, to d'space
Mr.. TAL1,FERRo, will. we believe and hope, be
an entire failure We observe that the - oraC!e .
at Richmond threatens Mr.. L. with its dennno'a-
tons. The time has gone by, when such mena-
ces could avail. ..There are no terror IN yo1r

Mr.. TaIiaferro's Circular, which excited the
ire of the Enquirer, contains some wholesome
truths which the Jackson party cannot swallow
without making wry faces. They therefore set
upon him with determined vigor. We are ASST
red, however, that his friends will stand by and
vigorously support him. The people of his dis
trict will not prescribe an old, faithful, and va
! lued servant, for the sake of Jacks0niSm.

A orrespondent complains ofour calling Amos
Kendall 80 miserable scamp" He is right
Amos Kendall is sufficient, without the explana-
tory eplthet.
1t is now stated that copies of Mr.. CRAwFoRD's
letter to Mr.. CALHOUN, were in circulation sever
al weeks previous to the publication of Mr.. Cal
houn's pamphlet. This of itself, with unpreju-
diced minds, should be sufficient to show the ne
cesslty of that publication. The Globe will not,
we presume, take this remark amiss, as coming
from IAN orthodox Republican Editor"

We learn from Richmond that Mr.. TAZEwELL
has declined the invitation to the public dinner
proposed to be given to him, avowedly on the
grounds that it mis- do much harm to the party''
already distracted and divided, although he ex-
presses the opinion that he did no more than his
duty. and that Virginia will sustain and support
him in the course ne pursued.

1t is remarkable that the Ncw-York packets
have been anticipated by arrivals at Boston, Bal
timore and Charleston.
