son Webb, one of the editors Of The New
York Courier and Enquirer, paper deep 10
the Confidence of the devoted pariisans Of
Mr. Van Buren,. tits curious, as giving a
history OF the present condition Of the party
IN New York, Of which the writer is an in
fluential member; but is particularly int
resting, as disclosing what we have long
since believed and predicted, bat which has
been obstinately denied, that the real object
is 10 suuggle Mr. Van Buren, into tho Presi-
dency. through the Vice Presidency; to Ell
feet which, he, Mr.. V. g., got up the Balti-
more Convention, through the agency Of a
mos Keadall We here extract that porlioa
of the letter which refers to this subject. II
was written to gentleman at Harrisburg
and is as follows:
"As TO the VICE PRESIDENCY, Nj
Van Buren, MUST be the man, no!ens Uolens
Ii not WE CAN NEVER MAKE HIM
PRESIDENT, aud tho TRUE POLICY
now is, 10 start a candidate M EVERY
STATE Ii is said that the Senate will re.
ject bis nomination to England. HOPE
So; Tor then his election as V. Z. and alter
wardsPresident, IS rendered morally certain
We here have the whole machinery dis
clssed--candidate are TO be started in every
State. In conformity to this plan, they have
been started in every direction; most Of then
the devoted partisans of Mr.. Van Buren,
who are 10 be ready to yield their own ciaim'
in his favor, and it is remarkable feature
in the history of this proceeding, that, whilst
candidates are to be started in every Other
State, especial care has been taken that nc
other candidate has been started in New
York, thus leaving him anembarrasscd, by
rival, in his own State. In the mean tise,
he is to pass the ordeal Of the Senate, ana
this is to be sieged upon, let the event b.
what it will, to aid il smuggling hln IN
Should he be rejected on account OF his cor
ruption and intrigue, his partisans will raise
theory Of persecution, as is ayowed In thie
letter. While on the other hand, should he
pass, that will alse he sIeZed upon as conclu-
siye proof that he is innocent of the many
acts Of which he is known to have been
guilty, and which have tended to divide, eis-
tract, and corrupt the country.
While these iAtrisHes are going ON, secret
orders are issued from the Regency estab-
lished here, to Gil the convention with his
subseryient tools, as preparatory 10 his nom
nation. Regencles have been appointed in
the different States. through which the de-
crees Of the Washington cabal, headed by
kenaan and Lewis, are carried into effect
There are several of tue States where the
in small minority, they are organized with
a view to the enjoyment Of the patronage OF
the government. These States will be fully
and, dependent as they are up
on the cabal, their delegates will consist u
the most subservient tools ofpower These,
added TO the large and well drilled phalanx
from New York, and such Of the delegates
from the other States as will be subject to
their dictation. will place the movements of
the convention entirely under the control of
Lewis, Kendall. s. Co. Such is the machi
oery by which it is intended to smuggle the
arch intrigueant into the bishest office in the
gift of the people, for the real object is not
% make Vice President but President.
Il is ayowed in the letter that they "cAN Me-
YER MAKE HIM PRESIDENT" but by first
making him Vice President We will ex--
,lain this mysterious expression As painful
Is it is, we feel il to be our duty. There

made to believe thar they are about to
