Private letters bring account Of renconre between

Lieut. Lane, officer in the Engineer Corps and the

dispute IN the House of r., between Messrs Lane and
Ewing, about three weeks SINCE in relation to some
Commissioner of the Public Lands The public were

supposed that Lieut.. H. made an attack upon Mr. r in

Mr.. HARPER 1t appears manifest from
the present state of the popular feeling in
the western and other sections of the u
Mon that GEN. HARRIsoN will ultimate
ly be the only candidate Of the wing par
ty in opposition to MARTIN VAN BUREN,.
Greatly prefering CLAY to HAaRIsoN for
the presidency of the United States, in
consequence of my believing him to be
the ADLER and more experienced states
man, yet, as the opponents Of MARTIN
seem not disposed to concentrate their
suffrages upon him, am willing to vote
for the 'hero Of the Thames" should he
alone be the candidate opposed to "him
OF Undertook. And that this will be
the case, | have, as before intiinated,
not doubt. The great military .serv-
ces which this intrepid and incorruptible
patriot rendered his bleeding country in
the time of her greatest need, in addition
to the high responsibility of his talents,
render the veteran HARRISON eminently
worthy of the exalted station to which
his friends wish to elevate him more
especially when opposed by man who
has never done any thing more for his
country than to feed upon her ''spo.ls of
Offices" Yes, Mr.. Editor, have rlgidly
examined the political history of NiAa-
TIN VAN buren,, and cannot for the
life OF me find IN it any acts calculated
to win for hlmthe love of any TRUE friend
OF his country, or to promote the inter
est and durability of her institutions. A
sordld scrambling for office having mark
ed his career ever since he entered the
political arena. Away then with all
THOUGHTS of filling the presidential chair
with such man as this. And, as we
cannot elect CLAY, as the immediate sue
cessor of JACKSON, let US employ them
In the devising Of fair and honorable
means to promote the election of the
great and good HARRlsoN.
