VAN BUREN'S PROSPECTS.

Some one has said and the world repeats IL,
that "coming events cast their shadows before
themn Great events as we'll as lesser ones, have
their prototypes and symbols: the destination of
parties of men has its great and its little fore,
runners its hopes and its fears, its OF good
Of evil, it's sunshine to cheer, its clouds 10
darken the prospect Nevertheless, what ter.
med onens and signs, in the superstitious sense,
men snap their fingers at in this enlightened age,
and justly SO we think; crodulity is insult to
the spirit Of the age. But at such an omen as
The following, which we extract from the Proyi,
dence Evening Chronicle, a locofoco paper, will
Martin snap his finger and be merry?
GNTThe Clay editors may rest satisfied of one
thing. The democrats will not satisfy the wing
party so much as TO nominate Martin Van Buren,
again for the Presidency, whom We know the wing
editors, from the Intellgencer downward, are ex-
ceedingly anxious should be again put in nomna
tion by the National Democratic Coz yention, of
May 1914. The democrats have desire TO
I render discussion IN relation to the Millions of
Defalcations, the Metallic Currency Question and
the Thirty sercn Millions of Annual Erpendi-
lures which would in the event Of Van Buren's
nomination, be again brought up in deadly array
against them they were, with fatal effect, in
1910. No. No. The Clay party men should
lay such fattering JUNCTION to .heir souls. A
man, responsible for none of these things, and
| against whom no such old and wide spread pre-.
JUDGES exist, will be, due time, placed IN nomi
nation, who will sweep the course with care. IL
should, however, never for one moment, be for
gotten by the democratic party of the country,
that the only hope to the Clay wings IS, that Van
Buren,, who has not probably gained hundred
i friends in tho whole Union, since 1910, when he
was 10 a minority of 1000 10 the country,
while tens Of thousands, who supported him THEN
are opposed to him NOW, will again be their Pre-
fiato in hat N
such event, by Withdrawing Clay, and uniting
the whole opposition TO Van Buren, upon some
moderate man they can, by appealing 10 the old
grounds of contest, again rally as before; and
they do not err much IN their calculation under
such circumstances. But the leading, sagacIous
untrammelled democrats of the country too
shrewd TO give them the game in this manner
They perceive the great anxiety OF the whlg7
tha. Van Buren, should be again nominated, and
they will take warning in season 10 avoid the
reefs and rocks upon which the democratic cause
was wrecked in 1910.
( Of course, the above paragraph IS not solitary,
we could fnd many such in Southern papers de
voted to Mr.. Calhoun, but this has peculiar force
inasmuch as it has lis source in region where
Martin is thought to be strongest. The following
is another morsel OF the same sort, though from
a different quarter of the country Martin ane
another may snap their fingers at it if they choose
but they will do i, shaking in their shoes.
A circular has recently been sent out from tbs
locofocos Of Cincinnati, signed by r. P. Spald
ing date Speaker of the Ohio Senate,) D. T
Disney and others, Of that city, in which ap
peal is made to the party in favor of Gen. Cass
for the Presidency. This circular, deIiberatel,
penned, printed and circulated, contains the fol
, loving declaration in reference 10 Mr. Van Burel
. what will his friends say TO it?
ISIS it the par, Of wisdom TO risk oil the grea
, and fundamental principles of tia Democrat
party, upon the fortunes of an individual 1hos
success, in the erent of his nomination, mould
extremely problematical, Mr.. Van Buren, ha
= never yet obtained the vote of Ohio for the Pre-
s sidency and it is firmly beliered by our most SC
u eacious politicians, that he cannot, IN any eontir
= rency succeed either in this State Pennsylvania
In Indiana, his prospects are stiH worse. re
10 ference the former votes of these States, com
binsd with present indications, places this beyon
doubt. Independent of all this, the feelings mar
y Tested by Mr. Calhoun's friends, seem TO depIIY
d US Of all hope of their aid IN support OF MIR Va
/ Buren, On the contrary, Mr. Calhoun has 4
chance in the West"
