 THE PRESIDENT AND Ex-PREsIDENT.
 The old chief of the Hermitage, himsel appears to have lost all hope Ot Mir Van Buren's success in treading in the footsteps of his i1strious predeces- sor." An intelligent and responsible correspondent communicates the fact, that his recent visit to RRasnylle, General Jackson remarked that Mr. Van so soon Mr V. B. called Congress together in Sep ember-and thereby admitted that he might possibly he wrong his fate sealed # he had refused to convene the extraordinary session, he would not now be Tn minority. But, sad he, although the President mnst go down, he will fall in glorious cause. We do not pretend 10 give the exact words sad to have been used the occasion referred but have stated the substance of the remarks. We agree with our correspondent that the fact of this admission will ere ate Ponic in the Uigw0 of the party, only at Washington, but throughout the United States, and apprehend that this declaration of his illustrous DGtron, will " strike more terror to the sou of the President than even the result ofthe recent elections The admission of such Chief" will be to him as the handwriting on the wall of Babylon.
