lent nlIIIfiers. But Gen. Jackson became powerful, ard their zeal for nulliicatioE went out, as if cold water had been thrown upon it. New converts are always ex- tremeIy zeaIous--and they soon beearne swhole hog men. Mouthful by nouthitil, they swallowed the Proclamation and Pro- iItest--fmd heroically determined that if thelr principles were too stubborn to yield to the new faith, the said principles should go by the board--and go they did. Other men have the seven principles--the five loaves land two fishes; and in their solicitude for the well-being of their purse, they merge levery other consideration. These are the drilled mereenaries for you. When the corporal cries "eyes right!'' they look to- wards nullifcaiion-when he cries s'eyes leftm they incline their optics to consolida- ton-and when he cries sfight about faee!o they whirl about like tops, and get along in one creed IS well as anotfer-being much  such machines as spinning jennies.
 You need not ask us for news. Of late, tthat article has been eontraband here; and except when 1t has been smHggled in at times, we have been as destitute as Robin son Crusoe on his desolate island could possibly have been. We have heard mo-
 
 thing as yet of State Government, but we are locking anxiously for some action on the subject. Several candidates for the Presidency are already in the field -but the three prominent ones we take to be. Mr. Van Buren, Judge White, and Daniel Web ster. The party, commonly called the aIy1ig" party, will be divided. The Wings of New England w.u generally vote for Hebster--some for Mclean. The Wings of New York. will be divided in tie same manner-hut in tie slave holding States Mr. Webster VII get but few votes. The votes EFhig) of Ohio, Indiana, llli- nois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, will be divided between Webster, Mclean and, Harrison. Thus there is no probability of either of these candidates being elected The struggle will be between Mr. Yan Bu- ren and Judge White. The latter is now fairly ia the field, the candidate of the South and West. The former will, of course, be ] ao+4inated by the office holldiersi =couvvn- ton, which meets shortly in Baltimore. Ii very comaaon, whenever we of the West talk of supporting a Western man for lack sssaaas.=ass4iassi we are Attempting to excite .ssectionai pre- ] Iiud ices." Nov, with all due submission to the opinion of these disinterested politl- clans, thls IS all nonsense. Tn large country like ours. the interest of the ,skoie people IS secured throug the conflicting in- fterests of sections of country, and by every nan's consulting the welfare of his eonsti- tuents. In this manner the balance is kept lup-and by providing for the weliare and Interests of the several parts. the interest of the aggregate Is secured. If the Vest fern Representatives were to be soIicitoas only for the interest of New England, II is manifest that the West would suffer. In the same way, every great section of coun- try should have it's candidate for President
 
 --and then let the majority conquer. The interests of the minority will be looked to by their representatives. We believe that Judge White would do more towards heal ing dissention and stiling party violence, than President either from the rnanufac- turing North or the nullifying South. It is time that we should have moderate and wise man in that office, if we would pre- serve the Union.
