and onward course in the policy which he has recon.

Of interference with the domestic institutions OF the
South have satisfied many Of bis former opponents that

Wings are broken up. Next year they will scarcely
make the show Of battle. Our information from all parts
of The State beyond the possibility Of doubt,
that Mr.. Van Buren, will defeat any Wing candIdae.
