nate Mr.. Calhoun. 40 he could not possibly get
solitary state north Of the Potomac, and would
get only Alabama and Mississippi in the west
On the other hand, the advocatesof Mr.. Cal
houn maintain that Mr.. Van Buren, - one Of
the least acceptable candidates Of his partytba,
he never had any personal popularity, that his
administration utterly failed N giving satisfac-
| ton to the people, and, having been defeated
once with all the advantages attached 10 the
possession of power and patronage. his defeat
now would be inevitable. 10 these positions
maintained by Loco-F ocoss, we think both fac
tons are correct.
1.-THE friends Of Johnson and ofCass
hold the same language respecting all
the other candidates: except their ia
Vorite. The last Cha rlsston Mercury
declares in terms not to be misunder-
stood, that Mr. Clay will defeat Mr. Van
Buren,. We thus have the authority
of the. whole democracy, that Mr..
Clay can succeed over any of their
men
MIR. VAN BUREN's AVAILABLE.
TTY, SNAP JUDGMENTS.
Mr.. Van Buren's friends persists in
thinking they can elect him, IL nomin-
ated by the national convention. Our
deliberate conviction is, that he cannot
be elected against Mr.. Clay. What
the Erpress says of the opposition to
HIM in New York, is even more true
as TO the Southern states~-that not
vote which was cast against him in 1910
but would be cast against him again.
1t is true that the democratic Purty
have gained with the people, in the last
two years. but not Mr.. Van Buren,
one inch;-he is just as odious now to
the majority that put him down in $40,
as he was then, and it is an odium no
party device. can overcome. His
friends pretend to say he fell by his
principles, and for them-not so, they
fell by him. Mr.. Van Buren's own
want of manliness and elevation in
craftsmanship, and the utter uupopn-
larrty Of the men he brought about him,
as his confidential advisers, this it was
broke him and his party down, and will
break them down again, II he is cho-
sen 10 be their leader. There is scarce
ly a Southern State which Mr.. Clay |
could not carry against Mr. Van Buren,.
The same thing the late elections in
the West show to be true there.
In New York, which was carried |
against him by 10000 majority in 40, |
it is scarcely conceivable he can sue
coed, after the late outrageous usur-
patton upon popular rights committed
by the Syracuse Convention, in rejec-
ting the District system, and packing |
the Delegation to the National Con-
vention. These snap-judgments, of
which Mr.. Van Buren, has taken so
many, in the last twelve months, will !
ultimately do his cause no good. We
in South Carolina, are not afraid of
being in minority, and if ne is fairly |
nominated, we shall stand by him as
we did before, even when his own
State turned scornful back on him.
But we say again, that when we consi-
der the very principle on which his
friends propose to run him-reUcnge
upon the opposite party, it's nonsense
to think that those who put him down
before, will not strain every nerve to
put him down again, and with equal,
if not better. chances Of success.
