There's great deal Of whispering about nomina-
tons here, and some ,akngin by-rooms nj the ho-
tells. Mr.. Stevenson, just returned fiom England, is
talked of as the opposition candidate for Governor of
Virginia. And his friends arc speaking OF him -pcnly
as the party candidate for the Vice Presidency. This
of course, excludes the idea of Mr. Tyler being their
candidate, as both President and Vice President can
not be elected from one state
There are certain persons in Washington, or have
been lately, who came to see what they could make
for Pennsylvania politicians. The PLAN as far as I
can learn is to call together the opposition members
of Congress, soon after the commencement of the
next session, and endoavor to procure an expression
ofopinion in favor of Mr.. Buchanan, of your state,
as the party candidate for the Presidency. If this can
not be brought about, Pennsylvania will demand to
furnish at least the candidate for the Vice Presidency
and that will be your present Governor, David II.
