 WAsHINGTON, Jan. 17.
 Van Buren has already lost Kentucky and Ohio; and Tennessee is as sure to ga against hlm as Judge White is to go into the held and what prospect of success can he behold, with these fearful auguries around him; with the almost certain loss of Pennsylvania into the bargain :! For the soul of me. cannot see any chance for him, and I certainly shall not he surprised, if he declines being candi- 1 date for the succession.
 Since the receipt of the last intelligence from Ohio, and the West generally, have noticed sensible change in the cOuntenance of MT. Van Buren. That native vivaeity which is so generally conspicuous in lighting up his countenance IS not there ;-hequenlly 1 kind of gloom overshadOws. him, and he ap- pears to be abstracted and moody. A few evenings since ! had the honor tO he at a | Vice President gave dignity by his presence and although all was hiIarity and mirth, Mr. Van Buren was frequently lost in thought, and the very glow of his features bespoke wounded pride and disappointed ambition !- might have deceived myself by the impor- tanee attach t0 my penetration batT could not resist the conviction, that the eminent citizen, whom ! watched intrntly, was pOn- dering on his prospect of blishted hopes and withered joys.
 l am now enabled to inform you, on the HIGHEST AUTHORITY, on authority th0t need not Ce disputed, that the Hon. Hugh l.. White Of Tennessee is considered a candidate for the office of President of the United States ; and that as such, he will be presented fo the American people, by a regulav action on the part of the State which he represents in the United States Senate. As am not in the secrets of the Judge White party, I am unable to say at what precise period the &C., ti"n of Tennessee in the case will be had |; l bnt am authorised to say, that Judge White IS the choice of the Tennessee Delegation, and that be will he supported by the gentle men comprising that body, moi excepting Mir. Polk, who will. in the hour of trial, be com pelled to act with his colleagues, or resign his seat in the American Congress. This latter emergency, Mir. Polk would look upon with horror: and, to avoid it, would e reason with his conscience" and submit, unlike ihe intle- pendent representative of the free electors of Bristol, tO the "right of iDsiruction.'
 Judge White, happen to know, is ready and wiIl'ng-nay. not only ready and willing
 hut anxious to he candidate for the Presid4n- cy, and watches with intense interest the movement and action ofthe political machine " of New England. I do not think he ex- aid frnr 1l,afu h,,k we'll assured, that he would most readily make some small cOucessiOns--nOt of principles howeyer-to obtain it.
 The aspect of the political horizon, and ev- cry thing about Washington, affords the most convincing proof, that after the 4th of March the Jackson party of the country, to a very great extent. will be dishanded, and General Jackson's influence will cease to he matter of existence, s0 far as it has any effect in the 1 designation of inc succession.
 His personal and political friends may in ueed prove constant to him. in carrying out the leading measures of his administration but they will reject. with firm and manly l resolution, all attempts he may make to de- s'gnate the individual wh" is to take the !" er- mine of Office." after he shall have, by the expiration ofhis constitutional term, returned tt to the people. His best friends have wit messed the abuses that have been prac,ised under the sanetion of his personal popularity they have seen the liberties and the happi. | ness. .of the repuhlic-the dignity of the nation -and the Treasury itself-evpry thing ,ha, Is dear and sacred to the pride and honor or Inc natiOn-made the sport of swarm of of. nee holders and political stock j0bbers, and they have resolved on the completion of great work of national reformation. Ii they succeed in getting the reins of the governmen, out of the hands of the band of pimps and pandeFs, the ''greedy, lank and lantern jaw ed" knaves by whsm we have been so foully dIsgraced as nation. they wall indeed have ehrcteda revolution, which. in it's c0nseauen- ces tO society, will not rank behind that W which led t0 the achieve ment Of American Indeprn. dence. To effect an end SD devoutly to he prayed for. an union of all hearts and hands should be cODsnmmated.
 MT. Clay will not-I am not authorised to make the avowal from any direct information ln my possession-under any circumstances. he candidate for the Presidency. hazard the declaration, on the basis of his own lan- | guage uttered in the Senate in the rnnn.h of March, 1888, and upon the current rwmor of 1 the day. But, however this may prove, the energies of his great mind and unsurpassed genius, i'll be put in active requsition, to pro- mote and complete the great work of refor- nation. Looking upon the subject of the Presidency, as ! most certainly do with an impartial eye, | cannot see any possible l chance for Mir Van Ruren fo snccesA .-h;o
