" During the last two days great speculotions b,,a
Soen made IN brandy, teas &c &c, which have risen
nave fallen about the same per centage. These opera
lions are pedcaed upon apprehension war There
IS no danger for the neat three months
F" The regular packet from Liverpool, BRINGING nm
oon dates OF the 2ith ult, arrived this day NOTHING
new Sotton traction lower sumor had prevailed
put was cohtradlced, that France preparing for a
war against the United States fe "
stated, in former letter, that had am inclination
10 give you my views of the approaching Presidential
elecuon now proceed 10 do it. Let it be promised.
however that am aware few only of the Wing party
entertain the same opinions, readers are not
to hold you responsible for my sentiments.
" l consider it certain that the friends of Judge White
WIN not, IN any contingency consent to withdraw his
name from the canvass; and know that the judge will
not bolt out of the He an original jackson
man. and runs as such; but he is popular in certain
port him Mr. Van buren, because even neutrality IN
those States would operate, negatively in favor of Van
Mirei sucn Tor example, as Tennessee, Alabama,
ississippl, Missouri and, perhaps, more of the
southern States. If this position tenable and have
no doubt OF the fact it follows, inevitable result
that no concentration of the Wing strength coud So
cure the election of either of their candidates bv the
electors | think it almost certain that Judge White
wal receive oTtyoe, and probably near sersty votes
Under these circumstances take il granted that the
tatives.
al do believe that there are more than y s.,o.
IN the Union, where majority of all the votes can be
obtained for Van Buren,, and doubt even with the aid
are nj
many 1t is utterly impossible for him to be elected nm
less accomplished by the jarng movements of The Wbi0
party II u DC true that Mississippi has elected TO the
rouse oil Representatives one anti-Van Buren, member
then there thirteen States represented in Congress-
hat ne cannot obtain the vote of any them and
teoH not Mree doubtful States, leaving more chan
n'Re certain Satesin Mr. Van urens favor and requr
ing thirteen TO elect him. IT, therefore, the election is
carried to the House, he is defeated beyond all doubt
Now, friends to the Constitutions and enemies of
corruption and usurpation what policy ought the Wbos
TO pursue' Ought each section, with uncompromsno
% ad npF IN crifa
sacrifice of personal predictions made when the
pest interests of the country in jeopardy There can
be but one answer 10 these by everv ma
MOL Weh then what Is to be done? Shall we, by
National Convention, rally upon single candidate?-
ms is me embarrassing question; but prepared TO
answer 1T in the negative; because if nv opinion in re-
ference to Judge White is correct then such noni
nation could accomplish nothing; but bring the eci.
sion TO the House of representatives and by possibility
might defeat even that, and thus elect Van Buren, mi
norty President. M
These the times TO mince matters Tho roo.
