ON DlT.-The Maysville lky.) Eagle states a.
one OF the on dts of the day, that Gen. Jackson in
Il late conversation with yisitcr at the Hermitage
used something like the following language - /
believe MI. Van Buren, capable, honest and desery-
ing the confidence Of the American peopc-that he
/
prudcnee-and that the democracy OF the country
should stand by him in the last ditch. But not
outstanding these are my views in relation to him
and his administration, have been led to fear that
the accession of John G.. Calhoun to the ranks of
his supporters would prove the death knell TO his
administration, aud cX'inguish all hope Of his re-
election Such remark from the Hermitage must
| be quite gratifying Mr. Calhoun aud his friends
1t the reward, however, which those who abandon
thcr iiiends,-or WHO even consent TO " bold them
my,"-always receive. The traitor ever detesed,
| even when the treason is most beneficial.
hear ii reported that Mr. Ryes has been applied to,
To run at the rcxt election, the ticket with Mr.
Van Buren, for Vice President. The report reach
rs us in such shape that we do not doubt it. The
party are desperate enough for any thing. Will
Mr.. X. consent, it will be naturally asked. We un-
hesIatingly say, no. Ii Is impossible, unless Mr..
Van Buren, abandon his policy and measures alto
gether. That he cannot do, he stands pledged to
sink OF swim with them. Eyea were he to do so, we
doubt very much if Mr.. Rycs would trust hs for
tunes TO sink or swim with Mr.. Van Buren,
May not the Madisonian be little too sanguine
1t is impossible say ,cbat will grow ont of the
Presidential visit to Castle Illl' or tie trip to the
