CONAN" Independea: " me name and Influence
Of Gen. Jackson, Mr. Van Burens influence never
has been sufficient to sustain him. Now, when the
General has lost all influence in his own State ,ev on
the neighborhood where he resides, where will
the administration look for support? Forsalen by
the people, it will grasp with still greater despera-
ton the money Of the people, and attempt to
tain itself by its power. In only state, Misss-
sippI, since tho fall elections have TRANSFERRED, has
Van Buren, maintained his strengh-and in that State
his partizans claim trifing gain 200 votes! He
has lost in Maine, Philadelphia, Maryland Ind-
ana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and in North Carolina,
