From the Philadelphia lntelligencer.
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, January |.
The question of the Presidency is not
vet canvassed here. Men ponder on it
but do not speak. Non-committal is
the favorite doctrine. The minds of
men are perturbed by the rapid whrl Of
recent events. They see that there is a
spirit ofchange abroad-a spirit of inqui-
ry and of distrust-and are unwilling to
commit themselves until the aspect of par
ties is more fully unveiled.
One thing, however, is plain; that the
jackson party will not all go for one can
didate. Jackson himself S not in the
field. Unless you can bring another He
ro of New Orleans for the people, you
csnnot combine the whole party on him.
Why should they unite, and upon whom9
Upon Van Buren,, the stockholders echo.
And why? Can they mention the princi-
pies upon which the party is expected to
rally in his favor? The fact is, tnat the
only principle upon which he is pressed
by a certain class is no change in the off
ces. Let them keep their offices, and
they wont care much for principle. The
principle of an office holder? Who ever
heard of. or saw such an article.
But the party wont unite upon Van
Bnren. There are MANY, perhaps most
of the jackson party in Congress, who
dstrust and dislike Mr.. Van Buren,. His
latitudinarian principles joined with His
restitution of genius, are not calculated
TO stand the test here. Besides there are
many jackson favorites who have warm
and firm friends in the party, X. NJ. John
son, Mr.. White, Judge Mclean, and sew
cral others stand quite as high. And why
should they not be sustained? Is any
principle endangered by such a curse? Or
is il hetrodox merely because the Presi-
sent dominates Van Buren, as successor.
Depend upon it, this consideration has no
effect here. But how know ye that the
President is anxious for the election Of
Mr.. Van Buren,? Ipredict that Martin
Van Buren, will some day or another be
Frustrated by the opposition of Andrew
Jackson. II is reported that the Presi
dent is already soured. Van Buren,, it is
said, wears IA double face Oh tho subject
of the bank, the force bill, the deposites,
the Kitchen Cabinet, &c. The fact is
that i: Van Buren,, could profit by orpos-
ing the removal Of the deposites ne would
do it. | think this is known at the White
House.
The successor Of Andrew Jackson will
he the man whom the people think "the
worthiest.' They will not wait for an
9fficial designation of the candidate; they
will take up whom they please, aud will
elect him. The old party lines are or at
ly weakened, and the approaching contest
will be struggle between the Office hold
ers on the one side, and the people on
the other. In every such struggle hither-
to, the people have triumphed.
In selecting the candidate of the people,
some distingu shed disciple of Jeffersonian
Democracy, will, am assured, be fix d
upon-probably northern man OF south,
err principles. Whoever he may be, he
will be elected. -
