 ed on. They wished him to resign, but he
 would not. Enquiry (semi-oficiaI) was
 made of an opposition member of the Sen-
 ate, if Barry could pass as Minister to Spain. The answer was in the negative,
 and the nomination was not made. The
 rumour now is, that he is 10 take Van Ness's
 place, who will return, and this will make a
 vacancy in the recess of the Senate"
 We make the following extracts--forcible
 and boldly, both of them-from the Nash

 tAIs 1t desirable to call to the Presidency
 an honest politician, one who is competent
 and who would in good faith carry out most
 of the prominent measures of General
 Jackson's Administration? Would such
 an individual be more certainly found III
 the person of Martin Van Buren than i'll
 that of Hugh l.. Whitel Let us examine
 the proofs. If MT. Van BuFen became
 warm and enthusiastic in his admiration
 and support of Andrew Jackson, after the
 death of tte lamented De WiH Clinton aad
 rohen aH the seorld kneee that he must 6e
 elected, had not Judge White advocated his
 claims, from the very moment his name
 was announced 10 the American people l.
 Did not he stand by his side when many
 who have since been more noisy in his SUD- port kept aloof or were in the ranks of op- positon-when It suited Mir. Van Buren 10 make his celebrated pilgrimage along the whole Atlantic sea board, pressing the claims of Mir. Crawford and keeping time to winking at the manifold reproaehes and islanders which the enemies of General Jackson were circulating against him r. If Mr. Van BuFen has, at different times both advocated and opposed tariff for protection, bas not Judge White uniformly maintained, that any system of imports, not demanded by the wants sof the Treasury, was an imposition upon the immunities of half the American Republicl If Mir. Van Buren has been accused of alternating and doubting until lately on the bank question and internal improvements, now this way and now that, as parties waxed and waned, has not Judge White, on both these great topics, been consistent and unchanging 3- These are believed to be sober truths and deserve to be considered by the American People at large.
 As to Tennessee, her sons, as independ- ent in peace as they have proved them- selves brave in war, have already recorded their verdict. They go for Hugh l.. White, without a division. With them Mr. Van Buren never was favorte. Unaided by the influence Of General Jackson's name, he would never have been thought of.-- And backed as he is now by the exertons of some of his advocates, the embryo can- didate of the Baltimore Convention will not get an electorial vote in the Tennessee college Who will deny this ?-We pause for a reply. .n-Banner.
 ''What then, has Tennessee done, that the mighty name and tremendous influence of Gen. Jackson must be prostltuted to the purpose of repfessing the free expression of her opinions? She has dared to think for hersef-her sons have dared to disre- gard the dictation of party, and steadfastly adhering to their early faith, without con- sulting any thing but patriotism and their own upright ntentions-appeaIing to the sober reason and love of country of their fellow citizens-have zealotsly and fear essly advocated the pretensions of HUGH l.. WHITE,-the man who IF uI things conducive to the public good, has been thought most to resemble him they have 'delighted to honor.a And will she falter notC, in supporting the man of her choicel The universal regret for the course Gen. Jackson has taken, and the reluctant sen- tence Of dlsapprobation which has been passed upon his letter by his friends, an- swer No! Her sons are tl'eemen-free- meu, both in body and mind. They have taken their stand, and painful as 1t may be that their sense of duty and patriotism should separate them in opinion and feel ing from one they have been accustomed to regard with feelings of veneration and love, they will maintain it at every kazard. Let the President, t he chooses, descend from the high station to which he has been by the love and confidence of his countrymen, to the low condition of po- litical partlzan-let him, if he will, desert the cause of the people and of free suffrage, and become the open advocate of irrespon- sible conventions of selfish partizans and office holders-let him, if he will, denounce his old friends, and throw his influence into the scales of those who are grasping at the spoals and patronage of the government.
