OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

Many of the papers in the United
States have already manifested a dis.
position to agitate the subject of the
next Presidency, and several distin.
guished individuals have been informal.
ly named for that office; among which
are, Mr.. Van Buren,, Mr.. MLean, Mr..
Cass, Mr.. Clay, and Mr.. Webster. AS
we are opposed to a premature discus.
sion of this tickEsh question, we have
not hitherto committed ourself in favor
of either of these individuals. Indeed,
we have considered it very imprudent
IN these times, for any one who wishes
to be an orthodox politician, to "come
out" for any body until he can ascer-
tam who will be most likely to succeed.
Accordingly, we have stood upon our
"reserred right" ofneutrality, to watch
the signs of the times, d see who would
be the most popular candidate. Recent
indications have satisfactorily convinc-
ed US on that point, and as we wish to
be considered among the s.'originals, "
real Simon ii' q; esss, We would lose
no time IN NOMINATING.
