3uren has consented TO any such arrangement
We doubt not Mr.. Blair would settle the pre-
imina les and take the bribe, (for we have
proved him capable of offering one TO Go
gernmenl clerk but we doubt whether Mr..
Van Buren, would afIx his signature to any
such " bargain"
AS for Mr.. Clay, we hare attacked him, and
will continue TO attack him as long as he IN
1uges in personal assaults on the President-in
spite Of the Globe. But when did the Globe
assail Mr.. Clay and his Federal corps? la
lS4l, as the editorial articles which we this day
extract from that print will show--but not lately
No, moi lately; although elections were TO be
held this year in fifteen States, yet the Globe
has not condescended TO strike one blow against
the common enemy. But il has assailed the
Administration necessarily; because, as it now
appears, ii was opposed to Mr.. Clay Andyel
as soon as the editor of the Globe ascertans the
name OF any successful candidate for Congress,
1t pours upon him food of fulsome hatiery, in
the hope Of securing his vote for printer II says
nothing in behalf Of any one until after his
election
The Globe will soon be called upon Tor set
tlement Of lis long political account The Clay
Coalition in lS25-lhe u. S. Bank transaction
the Maysyllle road difiiculty-the wrongs to Mr.
Caihoun-lhe land patents-the $1,000 drawn
from the Government for printing "personaI
vindcatioa' Of Major Barry, as recently as
serted by Mr.. Kendall-the Census job, &C.
&c. these will not leave it much leisure time to
fight MI. Clays ba ties.
We 60 not Willy Mr. Van Buren-the charge
is VIGOROUSLY false. But we deem it the duty
of all Democratic papers 10 oppose Mr. Clay's
election. 1t was not likely to occur 10 us that
by assailng the common enemy we would give
offence &c the Globe.
The CODE says the patronage of the Admin
istration exerted against Mr.. Clay and Mr..
Van Burn.
Now, IN the one hand, the rery few Demo
cratic presses which bow to the Globes dicta-
lion are 10 be believed, two-thirds of the office
holders ae Clay men.
On the other hand, if the Clay presses are
worthy Of belief, three fourths Of the appoint
ments made by the President, are confirmed Van
Buren, men. su
Any pne who credits the veracity of both
these chsses Of Jacobinical prints, or either Of
them, must be convinced that the assertion that
the Administration is waging war against
+" Mr. Cay and Mr. Van Buren," is untrue.
We ind The following editorial remarks and
The lettel appended in the last Charleston Mer-
curry. We must be permitted to express our
doubts ABOUT the Clay Wings preferring Mr.
Calhounas their second choice We think they
have no choice but Mr.. Clay, and are resolved
to support him with perfect knowledge that
he will lie defeated.
We would respectfully ask how the Mercury's
correspondent or any body else can kno1r
that MIR Tyler cannot get the nomination We
are quite sure he is very much mistaken
We would remark, in reference to the init
nation contained in the closing lines Of the
Mercuy's correspondent, that as far as we have
been able TO ascertain, the friends of Mr.. Tyler
intend TO support the nominee of the Conven-
rion-provided, of course, that the Convention
fairly represents the wishes of the party1
The following is from very intelligent merchant,
who promised us, when going North on his travels,
month or two SINCE to inquire and write TO US the
state of public opinion in New England, in reference
to the Presidential Election. He is Wing, but like
all intelligent Southern Wings, goes for MIR. Calhoun
after Mr. Clay. We have abundant reason to believe
that the representation he makes Of the state of

No sort of political jockcyism make Mr.. Van
Buren, the choice of the Democracy Of New England.
Let the managers shuttle and cut they please, the
votes, after all the peoples, and will be given to
suit themselves
SrRArFoRD, (CoNs August 8, lS43.
My Dear Su-On our way down from Columbia
10 Charleston, told you would drop you line IN
regard to the feeling of the Yankees towards your
great man John Caldwell Calhoun. | am truly glad
10 have IT in my power to say, without amy doubt,
although my first choice is Harry of the Wes that
MIR. Calhoun will get the vote of Connecticut, and
he majority of the New England States. | have
conversed with OF the leading in this
State particularly of the Bar and they say, with
few exceptions, they all for Calhoun. Out of
the members elect 10 Congress-all but one Cal
houn men-no mistake T. who holds Office in
this State, Conn under the Administration, quite
politician and sincere friend Of Mr.. ! yler but
after him goes the whole figure for Calhoun, and by
J J
place he became acquainted with MIR. Calhoun. One
hing you may depend on,n the event Mr.. Tyler
loes not get the nomination, (aDd we all know he
,snnot,) Tyler and all his connexions, which
numerous and as respectable as any other family in
he State, will all go for Mr.. John G. Calhoun, and
their united influence in promoting his interests.
For some few weeks, have been proving about the
country and talking with the small farmers, who go
vern the polls, and do YOU that seven out of
ten are out for Mr. Calhoun, and say they would far
prefer Mr.. c. to Mr. Van Buren,. J speak Of Wings
and Democrats, promiscuously. The Wings say if
there is no chance for Clay, they go for Calhoun
repeat IT, that Mr. Calhoun is gaining ground daily,
there can be no mistake, and firmly believe ne
be elected on his hook, without being nominated
by any Convention.

SIDENT.n

extracts from the speeches of distinguished Dem
ocratic members of Congress, made in lS4l,
