o. From letter published in an-
other column to-day, the reader Will
learn. that MAaoR BARRY, our Minister
to Spain, is rapidly sinking under con-
sumption.
u The Wheeling Gazette ofW ednes-
day week says, the Ohio river has rlsea
five feet since our last publication, and is
now navigable for steamboats, oftheiar-
gest class. It is expected to continue
navigable the remainder Of the foil, and
until closed by the ice.
o. There are in the city Of New
York las places of public worship.
1t is supposed that city now contains
100000 souls.
G The Washington Globe remarking
upon Judge M'Leans declining as q can~
didate for the Presidency, says:
"Contrast this letter Of an open OPP
ponent of the Administration, with
Judge Whites conduct. The Judge
was brought forward by his friends
merely, as they affirmed in thousand
forms, because the opposition had no
candidate, and would have none; so that
there was not the remotest posse
bility of bringing the election to the
House Of Representatives by dlvIs
sion in the republican ranks. he was
nominated in Alabama upon this state
Of the case, which, as we can prove by
incontestible evidence, was presenter
in letters from Washington to leading
members of the Legislature Of that
State. And yet, what does Judge
White say, after the opposition have
brought out candidates, expressly with
a view to give the election to the House
of Representatives He has just left
Nashville /; and we find the following
quoted from the Nashville Republican :
in the Kentucky papers:
"WE KNOW THAT JUDGE WHITE
WILL NEVER DECLINE, UNTIL THE PEG.
PIE THEMSELVES, WHO HAVE BROUGHT
HIM OUT. SHALL PASS SENTENCE UPON
HIS CLAIMS. No CIRCUMSTANCE WILL ms
DucE HIM Or HIS FRIENDS TO BAcE
OUT
Then Judge White will NOT decline.
This obstinacy on his part seems to be
quite troublesome affair as 1t appears
the Judge was brought forward by his
friends MERELY because the Opposition
had NO CANDIDATE" This is admitting
much more than we ever expected. Who
WROTE THOSE LETTERS FROM WASHING
TON TO LEADING MEMBERS OF THE Lee
GlsLATuRE OF ALABAMA? We consider
the above admissions of the sGlobe" to-
be conclusive in support Of our first view
of this very artfully contrived device
and that it was the work Of Polk and
johnson principally-the oBJEcTto draw
off the southern opposition from the sup
port of Mr.. Clay. But Mr.. Clay not be-
ing candidate, the scheme has resulted
in state Of things which now threatens
the overthrow of Mr.. Van Buren, himself.
Judge White cannot now honorably de-
cline. If he does, he must be considered
as having entered upon the candidacy as
the tool of Jackson Van Burenism. This
neither the Judge, nor Mr.. Bell. will g.
yer admit. Judge M'Lean could decline
without affecting his political character
in the slightest degree but Judge White
cannot. Van Burenism must take the
consequences of it's own act. The people
can trust their representatives-and fla
ny bargains can be made. Van Burenism
will not be idle. THE PARTY may be-
perfectly assured that it will lose nothing
by that species of political traffic. The
greatest rogues always run head, and
like honest George Kremer scry aloud"
Gr The Cholera has again broken out
among the recruits at Fort Armstrong,
on Rock Island, near the mouth of the
Rock river. At the latest account there
had been So cases in all, and five Deaths
"The commanding officer deemedit pru-.
dent to evacuate the post temporarily; the
greater part of the troops were therefore
several miles west Of the Miss
issippi and encamped."
