TUE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

1t is idle TO deny the fact, that the enemies of An
drew Jackson are flushed with new hopes and ami
mated to new cXertions. They have defeated the
nomination of Martin Van Buren,. They have put
nm indigmty upon man, who, as his Secretary of
state had contributed the brilliant success o. our
foreign relations, and his Minister to London was
engaged IN the most important negotiations The
blow was lcveed mt both of them-It has raised the
spirit of the Opposition. The friends of Clay and
calhoun have common sympathy on the OCCASION
lhey cX'It at what has passed. They melted to
greater eNcrtons for the future. They rejoice at oI
the divisions in our ranks. They are sparng no eff.
tort to distract and to divide us.-Evcry little quar-
rel every little difference of opinion is grateful to
'hcIn.Ihey are chuckng at the Address of Wicklife
ana the letters which accompany it--becausc they
entertain hopes that it will lead to further distractions
They are rejoicing at the quarrel between Poindex-
ter and Hoffman, between Moore and Bergen. They
are tickied with the charges which the u. S. Tcle-
graph Is making, on behalf of PoindcXter against
Eaton and Cofioc.-Clay and Calhoun almost equal
! y dislike Jackson and Van Buren-and most of
their friends sympathizc with them. "Bctween Mr.,
van Buren, and MIR. Clay, we cannot hesitate TO
choose Mr.; Clay-Such is the language of Mr. Cal
nouns Telcgraph-and such is Jhe spirit of most of
nls friends Mr. Clay's friends in particular are de-
lighted with the signs of the times. They are try

selzed upon for the purpose. And the prevailing
topic of the day. the Vice Presidency, is piled
