From information received here last night

putting forward their strongest men to carry
Mr.. Clay over the track upon their shoulders
Every body knows that Gov Polk was an ex

was looking 10 the nomination for the Vice Pre-
sidency, in case Mr.. Van Buren, were nominated
to the Presidency.
II was, in fact, believed to be sort of lest o.

Perhaps the Republicans of that State who pre-

Clay or Mr. Van Buren,, thought as their friends
elsewhere had not been properly treated by ex-
elusive Van Buren, men, after the victories were
won, it were best to lie upon their oars, or even
vote for Gov. Jones in preference to the ext oded
party hacks of Mr.. Van Buren,. A few days will
determine these points-but am satisfied that
if Mr.. Polk is not beaten he has occasion to be
badly frightened. Under all the circumstances,
he was in no way the man whom the Demo

people begin to wish to hear of something else.
You will not wonder at this state of things
when you reflect upon the miserable cut throat
policy of the Globe, and few of its reckless
echoes, but more especially the Liberal and
narrow contracted bearing of the Richmond
Enquirer towards Mr.. Tyler.
1t is well to bring these presses to their pro-

they regard the ominous teachings of the times
The returns of the election in Illinois are now

spirit towards MIR. Tylers friends will endur,
after the election. Mr.. Hose, in the Galens
District, IS also probably elected, through the
