 DEAR SIR,-i have read with feelings of peculiar appreciation the editorial remarks iu your paper of .he 7th inst, on the subject of the Vice Presidency had already noticed, with other emotions than those of contempt and disgust the movements and declara- tons to which you allnde designed to belief that the Presidential Electors nominated on the 9th of March last, would, If elected, vote for Martin Van Du- ren Vice President. l cannot believe that any honest and intelligent friend of Gen. Jackson, can be gully of such gross tenerlty. Should even q we'll grounded suspicion prevail that such course would be ultimately pursued by any portion of the electors on our tieket--thousands of Glen. Jackson's sincere friends would be deered from supporting it ;-and if the corrupt attempts 10 induce this persist ed III 10 the last, fl may render doubtful the en- tire electoral vote of General Jackson himself
 Strange as il may seem, and discredtabe as t cer1 tanly is to its authors and abeltors, l am now con vlnced, from recent developments, and facts within my own knowledge, that deep aid plot is actually in n raln of mauration having for it's obec the transfer if posslble of part if the whole Of the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, 10 Mir Van Buren. The plan is to remain quiet hereafter until the Presidential elections when tue vote of the people will have been given with View to Mr. Wilkins; then meetings of sounds 10 be got up wherever possble and resolutions pass ed complimentary to Mr Wilkins, but expressing re- gret that his prospects of success throughout the Union are no better and hope that as aD act o patriotic crice rendered necessary by the crisis of affairs he will decline. These will be paraded as evidences of public opnion immediately before the electors assem- bIe-to justify those If any) who may be so inclined for giving ileir votes for MT Van Buren, and thus shalneessly degrading the political character of the state.
 Be not asonished at almost any political movement in these times-therefofe startle not when tell you that have letters (and heard of othoysj from New York politicians which coniaiu outline of the above project. And that there are in this state engaged in this humiliaing scheme---who profess to De friendly to General Jackson but "ho n truth are merely employing the influence of his name for thes own mercenary and ambitious purposes--. IS equally certain and susceptible of the clearest proof! What PenHsyiganian, e. ne ask. who cherlshes single feeling of saie pride, spark q manly spir't glowing within his bosom, put must awaken to ndig nant resentment at the insult 10 inc state which this project involves, Ii is such insult that no one but
