On DErs.-The Alexandria Gazette
mentions il as the rumor Of the day that
Mr. Haynes Of Georgia, is to take the
place Of r. M. Johnson, as the party
candidate for Vice President, at the
next election. Gen. Johnson promised
when he was taken up by the party, to
look no higher than the Presidency;
and we doubt not the party has promis-
cd 10 itself, that he shall look no farther
even in the horizontal line of vision,
than the end of the first term. The truth
10 the Colonel has been q rather lcosi"g

and there is no question but the party
will get rid Of him the first opportunity.
But as to "on dit" in favor Of Doctor
Haynes, we think Mr.. Senator Buch-
snan will have word 30 say on that
question. II is thought by these who
can see a good ways into mill stones,
that this gentleman has an eye to the
succession, rs to the Vice Presidency,
and il he accomplished that, so far as to
become the party candidate for the Vice
Presidency, we dare say he will not
