requires some apoogy-and nothing but the ciycumsan-
of the would induce us TO do it on the present
occasion.
This Journal has put forth two articles in which il has
thought proper to introduce our name-we shall touch
them briefly can:
First 9rticle.-'VIRoINIA-A movement has been
made among the administration partzans Ia the legislature
OF Virginia, which must very shortly determine the fate Of
Martin Van Burcns attempt procure formal nominal
ton for the Vice Presidency in that State Pennsy
and in New York. IL will be from the satenen gi-
ven below, that when Mr. r. of the Richmond En-
quircr echoed the fsehood of the Albany Argus deny
ing van Buren's wish to receive such nomination. he
himself grossly deceived, wilfuy practice
deception upon others. Ii will also he perceived, that
our repeated asscyeraons i'll the premises fully
med by the indications given in the legislative Of
virginia oil desire to press the claims Of Van Buren, by
portion OF the poisoned members. The caucus to
which refer held at Richmond on Saturday last
and intended a of sitter preparatory TO n final
caucus, to take place ut future day. according to contin
gencies proposition made for proceeding instan
ter TO the nomination of Vice President on
the ticket with jackson. Sundry speeches were made
probably with view of discouragng the known nten-
ton oil some members TO propose Van Buren, These lat
ter were in favor odelaying tho nomination Of candidate
in order most probably, the Richmond - observes,
give ume Tor the cards 10 be stocked Burens
favor, by the shutters at Albany aud Washington, sc.
The second article is thus appropriately introduced by
the n. Intelgencer:
The following paragraph from the New-York Evening
Journal comprises statement extraordinary that
thing but the soemnity of the would obge
us to yield credcnce to il. The writer il be added
was it is well known, behind the scenes during the first
lew months after the opening of the drama the 18th

Party-if such there beshould bear in mind, that their

the chair of the Chief Magistrate. The Richmond En-
qurcr and the Albany Argus may ume fret at this
declaration, 10 their hearts content They know infinitely
less oil the matter than they would ain persuade their
readers they arc aware Of We reasscr the fact and
do IT with all the solemnty wherewih would utter an
oath In court OF usccthat the project for making Van
Burcn President by electng him TO the second office in
the Government upon the ticket with Andrew Jackson
aud by the immediate retirement of the latter TO the Her
mitage was communicated TO us, in confidence, within
eighteen twenty months in the Presidents house AT
Washington by distinguished member of the Cabal
under whose management the old has governed ever
since his accession The Enqurers and Arguses may
ny and protest until they black in the face. We are
not to be lied out OF the evidence OF Let the
Jackson men look 10 that the Van Buren, not ride
upon their backs!"
We promised to be very aconic in our commentaries;
and have the stronger inducements TO do So as our
worthy Foreman has just sent word that he is "ooded
with copy.'-ln word, then, upon our honor

ter which does him great hono-whch states that he does
not wish be Vice Prcsdenhat he desires TO pre-
serve the harmony ofhe the not
to disturb it by any such nominaon-and he prefer
red going 10 London among other (arising from
desire to serve Gen. Jackson for the purpose avoiding
all applications to him the Vice President-This
whole alleged plot oplacingV b. candesney in the chair
OF the Chief Magistrate has not the slightest foundation
Besides, Gen jackson has much character at stake h
venture i;and the people have spirit to submit
to it.
As TO the Virginia Caucus we do most soemnly believe
that there not in it, who desired press the
claims of Mr. V. b. for the Vice Presdency.-We have
never heard single member of the Virginia Legislature
express the slightest desire for him or TO run him as
Wand this slang about stocking the cards, and the
shuiiing &c, is just such stuff dreams Of
lhcre Is not man oil sense who knows any thing of the
ae Caucus, who does not know that these insinuatons
about ga sort of sDter-and "aecording to contingent
cies'-are not only false, but the extreme Of f0liu
The Editor Of the Telegraph inrnatcs that Mr. r. Of
the Richmond Enquirer is looking for foreign mission

The Editor of the National Gazette seems does not
like the animated movements of the Grasshopper-He
seems TO prefer style in character with himself the
yhissng serpent that craws and Winds and turns and
neper reaches elevation above the dirt to which il is
confned-the style,
That like wounded snake, drGgs its SlOY length along
