the late election in Ohio that the Van
Burenites have a majority of 20 in the
Legislature--2 in the Senate and 18 in
the house.

T We learn from the Richmond En-.
quirer that it is expected the foundation
of the WASHING TON MONUMENT will be-
laid on the next anniversary of Washing
toms Birth Day and it is contemplated
to erect it on suitable site at Washing
ton, 5 to 600 feet high, with an Observa-
tory, and Lanthorn at its summit land
to have it constructed of materials col-
lected from each state in the Union.
VI We see it noted that Gen. DUFF
GREEN goes to Jersey city, to commence
the business of book publisher, and ex-
poets to rival the hitherto unrivalled
Harpers.
GT The Hon. JOHN McPHERsoN BER-
RrEN of Georgia, is spoken of as cam
didate for the Vice Presidency. on the
Harrison Ticket.
o. II is stated that Government has
advertised for about thousand barrels
of gunpowder, to be delivered at the Ma
Wy Yards of Charlestown, Mass. Brook
lyn, N. Y. and Gosport, Va. on or before
the 18th Of March next.
E The following paragraph Is from
the letter of Judge WHITE replying to
the resolutions Of the Tennessee Legis.
Iature nominating him for the Presi.
dency;
"Some ofthose who are members Of
the present General Assembly. and
who were members of the same body
two years ago, can bear testimony to
the fact that earnestly endeavored to
proven. my name from being submitted
to the American people for the high
est office within their Gift !; but my eff
forts have been unavailing. A state
Of things has been produced which in-
duced portion of nay political friends
to believe the interest Of the country
would be promoted by the use of my
name as candidate; and when ap-
piled to, on various occasions, | have
given my consent, and now take this.
opportunity to state that this conseLe4
will not be withdrawn"
The Judge is quite explicit; he will
not withdraw, nor be withdrawn. We
are then embarrassed with three candi-
dates. Why should Webster withdraw
Why should Harrison? Does Judge
White suppose that Tennessee alone can
make him chiefmagistratee The people
will decide, however, such questions in
1896. He is not, nor cannot be, the can-
didate of the national Wings. Hrs prin-
ciples and THEIR principles, are no: of
the same school. In another paragraph
of the same letter he says:
"To conciliate the favour and pro-
cure the support of any man or set of
men belonging to any party, ! have
not changed or agreed to change any
one political principle | ever avowed.
Those upon which / have heretofore
practised shall continue to be my guide
in whatever situation l may be placed,
so long as | believe thea, to be correct,
disdaining, as | hope ever shall, an
attempt to win my way to power upon
one set of principles, and then to prac.
tise upon another"
II is well known that he supported
Gen. Jackson in all his measures /; and
particularly in oil such measures as the
national Wings objected to. He says
he has mot changed, nor AGREED re
CHANGE any one political principle he a.
yer avowed." We, therefore think, he
will not be very acceptable to sithsr
branch of the southern, northern, or wess
tern opponents of the measures ofthe ex=
isting executive. We know that he viii
not, under present circumstances, b, ac.
eeptable to any party in thiss quarter.
Why will be act witha.faw. We should
