ton to the people, and, having been defeated
once with al the advantages attached 10 the
possession Of power and patronage, his defeal
now would be inevitable. 70 these positions
maintained by Loeo-Focos,, we think both fac
tons are correct.
"The friends Of Johnson and ofCass,
hold the same language respecting all
the other candidates, except their "a
vorite. The last Charleston Mercury
declares 10 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 theil

MIR. VAN BUREN's AVAILABLE
ITY, SNAP JUDGMENTS.
Mr.. Van Buren's friends persists ii
thinking they can elect him, If nomin-
ated by the national convention. Our
deliberate conviction is, that he canno
be elected against Mr.. Clay. Wha
the Express says Of the opposition tC
him In New York, is even more true
as TO the Southern states-~-that not 1
vote which was cast against him in ls4C
but would be cast against him again.
It is true that the democratic PART
have gained with the people, in the las
two years. but not Mr.. Van Buren,
one inch;-he is just as odious now Il
the majority that put him down in 1910
as he was then, and it is an odium NJ
party device can overcome. Hi
friends pretend to say he fell by hi
principles, and for theni--not so, the,
fell BY him, Mr.. Van Buren's owl
want Of manliness and elevation il
statesmaLship, and the utter uupopn
lauty OF the men he brought about him
as his confidential advisers, this it wa

sen 10 be their leader. There is scarce
" a Southern State which Mr.. Clay
could not carry against Mr. Van Buren,
The same thing the late elections il
the West show to be true there.
In New York, which was carriet
against him by 10000 majority in 40
| it is scarcely conceivable he can sue
coed, after the late outrageous usur
patton upon popular rights COMMITTEES
BY the Syracuse Convention, in reiec
ting the District system, and packin
the Delegation to the National Con

which Mr.. Van Bpren has taken s
many, in the last twelve months, wi
ultimately do his cause no good. w
