 Mr. zHfmHdges Letter--On the first page of to- days paper we have, at the suggestion of cUrrespon. dent published a letter of MT. Senator Tahmadge, gIv'ng his views upon the subject of the Presidency
 He Is' we tear, leetie too sanguine. We would be more iheral to MT. Van Buren.

This can be done and in order to ensure success, it muet De done
