Ae- eording to classification, which is probably correct, the parties therein stand as follows: Van Buren, 22-anti-Y an Buren, 24-doubt ful, 2. The doubtful members arc Messfs. MeKean and Hendricks. They are both so very doubtful, that although they have re- reatedly denounced the Kinderhooker and all his works, yet no dependence can be pla- ced on them. They have ever shewn them selves vaseillating and unstable, and 1t Is more than probable that they will both fall away to the Van Buren party. This will give the Vice President the casting eete There will then remain but one hope for the country-that Is the integrity and virtue of the people themselves.
