sitlon to Mr.. Van Buren,. II 10 the decision OF
political maniac, and will bo pcrsevercd IN with tho
irrational psrinaci,y Of maninc. He declares
that the Wings shall be compelled to como IN 10
the support of Mr.. Calhoun and | presume they
are TO be menaced with the deserlon of The nuilih-
ers in the event of their contnmacy II IS my I'M
preston thai parties must assume different posi-
ton at the close of tho next session. II the dstip-
gulshcd men OF tho Notification School resolve 10
follow wherever Duff Green may lead them, do
not gee how the Wings and they can continue IN
company. Perhaps the decision, III that case, may
take place the qucs ION Of the election OF pubic
printer. An immense patronage has beengiven 10
Il cen during the last session. ind still he has been
const tnily gfasping after mort. lie is now abso'
! lulely bursting with tho magnlileence OF his own
ipsoplatloas md 1.-THE printers oil The U. states
shall permit themselves To credit moiey OF ms
pledges or to believe in tihe of his prctensions,
suppose we shall see new College erected imme

the sacred ae.ory Of the fool who built his house

We do mol inow that the writer Of the foregoing
Paragraph speaks "by the card but, as we have
heretofore had OCCASION to rcmark, we have never
for moment doubted. since Duff Green opened his
Telegraph 10 the discussion Of the Pre- ideniiai
question. tina, he has nailed Mr.. cslhouns flag 10
the mast head aud that he will keep II there,

Nr Calhoun expect that the great body Of the oppo-

Of Modification. because that heresy is included
in the generic term of "Whis, they are grossly de-
celved. Indeed. they should not desire It. 1hst
ponpausly bocs, that IN refusing to lend their influ
epcc 10 the election Of Mr.. Clay, they arc ac,uated
by devotion TO principle, which they are too hon
orabe TO abandon, Or even 10 compromise. Do they
expec to fad less Of honor and irmuess among the
trends oil Mr. Clay, who ore nike and equally op.
posed 10 Modification and TO Jacksonism 7 Ifihey
do We repeat, lh2y arc grossly deceived. And if
thsy, as Nulhtyers. have no good reason, as they
usssucdly have not, to hope for til. support of tbs,
10y far more nomeroas portion OF the Anti Jackson
party which regard Modification dangerous
heresy, urop what ground do they bnsG their hope
Of eee,ng candidate Of that blgoiiel sect MS the
sIlccssor OF Gen. Jackson IT, indeed it should
happen, that the contest for the snccassorshp
should be confined to John q. Calhoun apd the
most odous Of the Jackson leaders, Van Buren,
many Of the ANTI ,ckson party, who dislike Multi
Gcatop. bu. who hate Van Buran more, would give
Mr.. Calhoun u lukewQrm support--bu, Il C number
of tina, party who would do this are flr few even
where Modification has made the most RAJ lid od

can helieve TINT th"re is the remoicst possibility of
tho election Of Mr. Calhoun, or any other man Of
his parry, IN the teeth of the lac demonstrations OF
public sentiment In the Northern and Western
staea II Is we'll known that tho friends OF that gen
tlaman nd his creed arc" few aud far between" -
In The south Western statoS, the prospects of the
Nallics not much beter--,hey have recently
sustained t. most signal overthrow in Alabama
AMI IN Mississippi, thong h they arc struggling with
unilagsine zeal, they are destined even aided by he
friends of MIR. Clay, TO certain defeat. In the
Southern states, where ulone Nalli6c ,tion may be
said 10 be IN 'ocTabie odour its chance Of sucsess
becomes daily more and more hopccss-V Virginia
is deeply tainted with H. 1t is true but its opponents
largely ontnumber lis ficnds-n North Carolina
snund principles are still mare wisely dllfused and
firmly maintained by the great bod of Inc people
and IN Georgia, we have just earJ The dcathkncll
OF Modification rung from the polls evan though
II was diluted and disguised, in order TO rem Ter it
palalablc 10 those who esud be persuaded to
partake Of II in its South Caroln- shape aud form
In South Car,llna only has II the asreniaacY and
} we sangu,ncy look forward 10 he day, as u Ear
distant when the sober judgment, of the people OF that
State, dlsatuscd of the errors which have led them
ts,roy, and relieved from that unhealthy excitement
IN which those errors were born and by which they
have been sustained, will repent their herescs and
come hack 10 the fold Of the genuine State Rights
school, from which they have srayeG. Is there,
then, any rational foundation fer the hope If The
success OF AIR. Calhoun, OF any other man en-.

but held In utter deesaton by u majority of the
people of every State save one, in the Union Ii
seems 10 Us that there is MOI The friends oftha gen.
'leman, AM that gentleman himself must choose
between other 'ndlvlluals-they must either vote
t Tor clay or Van Buren, who the only two DOL d.
'''cians IN our opinion, that have any chance Of
success-or, they must shut themselves up in their
shells, like 'crraPins and take pat in the storm
which will rage around their heads. To this com
pleXion they muet come at last The signs of the
times point lnfalliby to the two gentlemen We have
named as only formidable candd,tes for the nex
, Presidency. Other men may be- & ,loul,less will
DC named, by those OF her party with whom these
gentleman arc not the first choice. But these frs;

tons, as the day Of election approaches and rs the
Imposs'bility of eccng any other Of the gentlemen
VINO are now, or may hereafter be spoken fshal be
more clearly and satisfactorily demonstrated And
then, II Wi, be for Mr.. Calhoun and his friends al;
