We hope these things rather than expect them. Poiti-

Mr. Van Buren's friends WELD the Government Of New

ror disgust alienation of the whole Abolition
party. Nothing imagine could appeasc conciliate
them after decsively hostile their anaiica
views and feelings.
This is view: Another is this IT, now that the Van
Buren, party have full swing the New York Legislature
and there let hindrance the redemption of their
former promises: it, after railing Gov. Seward and
ing what they would do when they got the power they
cline repeal the Jury Law and surrender Ganzey and
the rest, what will Virginia and the South say it -
Must not Mr.. Van Buren, be overthrown all the States

These the questions, which the Regency at Albany
have to decide upon, and this the dilemma in which they
are placed. II cannot be denied that they in hard
place and that ihe solution Of the problem il OF extreme
difficulty well momenous consequence. Mr.. Van
Burens fate hangs upon it, and hence assumes national
interest.
We may now understand the peculiar ferocity with which
Gov. Seward regarded by Van Bnrensm. He left the
bic than the Gordnn itself. We do not think Mr. v B. is
the resolve the diiculty-with the edge of his
sword.
We feel much inclined help the Regency Of the
scrapc we knew how. If they do repeal the Jury
Law and surrender the ugvcs. after their doughty pro-
misses and claims be 'he natural allies of the South"
they msy rely upon that Mr. Van will carry

furnished will be deemed irresistible, and they will find the
CalhouA feeling already the march, augmenng in force
and confidence day by day. II they do repeal the Jury
Law and give Gp the fugitves the matrimonial alliance
projected between Mr. Van Buren, and the Abolitonists,
be reinquished and that party made econcilable

II isa bother which may well stump the councillor
OD advice, however, to the Regency, would be
honestly and take the consequence.
