and so firmly stood its ground against the u

other ratios, was yesterday forced TO yield to
1900, by close vote. Should this ratio

VAN BUREN's REJECTION.

The rejection of Mr.. Van Buren,, as Mi
mister 10 the Court Of st. James, by the
Senate, has produced considerable sensa-
ton. Many of the friends of General Jack
son, are disposed 10 consider il as altogether
party measure, to embarrass the admins
tration. Others regard it as the result of
mere private pique or jealous rivalry, on
the part of MeSsrs. Calhoun and Clay, and
their friends, towards Mr. Van Buren, I'M
der these views, separate or united. several
of the editors of the party seem determined
10 sustain him, and as the most effectual de-
vice have put him up in glazing capitals as
Fice-President, on their ticket thus
glueing him, as it were, TO the fortunes of
General jackson.
To us it appears rather inconsistent that
the rejection should be placed on personal
or party grounds, by those who regard it as
a just subject for so much Glamour. One of
those editors, days before the rejection, bold
ly and publicly expressed hope that MIR.
Van Buren, might be rejected, as it would
tend 10 advance his political prospects
They mustreally think the opposition in the
Senate was very shallow not TO perceive that,
as party measure, and without sufficient
grounds, the rejection would be impolitic
and injurious TO them-and that pri-
vate enmity, shown in this way, could
have no other effect than 10 benefit the OBJ
ject of it, before generous and magnani-
nous people
But we are not left TO vague conjecture
FOR the reasons which induced the rejection.
The injunction of secrecy has been removed,
and number Of the Speeches have been
published. In this paper will be found the
Speech of Mr.. Chambers, and an extract
from that of Mr.. Poindexter, which
give the true grounds Of the procedure
There are several other speeches on this
subject which we wish TO publish, espe-
cially Mr.. Webster's and Mr. Clay's,
Gas we'll as some on the opposite side,) but
our limits would not permit us TO do more
at present. In our opinion, upon view of
the whole ground, the reasons assigned by
the Senators for the rejection, are n OF only
clearly and decidedly sufficient, but such
as imperatiYely required it at their hands.
For some days, we felt inclined TO regret the
measurement that we ever doubted MIR,
Van Buren's dement's since we saw his in
structions to Mr.. M'Lane-but because we
knew the active nature of American SYM
pathy, generous TO a fault, and too liable
to be misled and TO be abused We fear
ed it might be the means of kicking most
unworthy man into public considerations
Now, however, after more mature refec-
ton, We rejoice at the rejection ;-it was
solemn duty in the Senate, which they
could not rightiuIly shun lit was neces-
sary TO the vindcation of our National ho-
or;-and, come what will, those Senator's
who voted against the nomination have done
nothing mere than their duty. The rest
remains NTH The People.

ferson, he was always allowed TO select his

ter Plenipotentiary TO the Court of st. Pc

Senate The Intelligencer remarks:
Here is case, then, which is precisely

confirm it, but they rejected ii by an unan-

treason or lose-maiestyi or did not the peo-
pie suppose that the Senate had very good
reasons for what they did? What all the
reasons were, we do not know but we
know that one Of them was, that the appoin-

posed that he had lost somewhat Of the tone
Of his purely American feeling lie resid

caused by objections TO the eXpcdiency Of

My DEAR SIR-I have heard to-day that the
French Treaty will be rejected by the Senate; and
that jackson has determined to send Livingston az
Minister to France, transfer MLane to the State
Department, and place Ripes ut tho head of tho
Treasury. This report wears air Of probability
In itself, and have great reliance upon the
source from which derived it. But there have
been so many rumors of the sort since the Great
Unit was resolved into its original fractions that
you must not - surprised fthis turns out to be
liable to variation.
understand that our worthy President is again
under the hands of his doctor for relapse of the
influenza. But it is quite as impossible for heretics
to ascertain the state of his health the nature of
his opinions. One day, he is said to bo breaking
very FAST and the next, TO be better than he has
been for ten years. AS far as l can approach
to the truth by frequent enquiries, and comparison
OF statements he is only kept alive by drugs of q
powerful nat.ie-heroic remedies. as the faculty
term them. He has been salivated, bed, blistercd
cuPPed, purgcd, and, in fact, has gone through
the whole series of nominations, as often as
Moliere's Maladc Imnginairo. 1t is nasty way o.
