we will venture to hint at what we should not
be surprised to see take place.
Mr.. Van Buren, is not to 60 to the Hermitage,
as some expected-or to New York, to stay, as
others erpected-but to HarrIsburg-"a and there

The course Of Messrs. wilkins and Dallas, at
the close Of the last session, was rather ineXpl-

We ask for Internationally the Globe be kind
enough to give ita Is MIR. Van Buren, to feel the
public pulse in Pennsy lvapia. and then to RESIGN

Wilkins to be taken up Immediately thereafter,
as the candidate of "the Great Republican Par

Richmond Wing, the editor Of which paper, it
will be seen, has - hit the nail upon the head"
Observe the Prediction!-van Buren, will in
short time, be Withdrawn as the candidate Of tie
Republican party for the Vice Presidency! He

Roads will be superseded almost entirely. Sue

The National Intelligencer comments with
force and severity upon the case OF GwISN' who'
in defiance Of repeated reflections by the Senate

their adjournment. We confess, when we see
such gross and outrageous violation OF all pro-
priety, we are willing to let it be taken up oy Old
or and cooler heads--youns and hot blood is apt
TO boil upon these occasions.
We have not space, says the N. York Stand
