FRIEND and ZOE

, we have seen with some regret the remarks of the
~ I. Evening Post upon the which Virginia is
likely TO take the Vice Presidency. We forbear all
the remarks which it is calculated call forth-except
to say, that Delegates declared in the Convention
heiorehand that they could not support Col R. NJ J1hn-
son--and that the determination of Virginia does not
