The Pan Buren, Iactics.-The supposition of
the New York Courier is not without probability
that Mr.. VAN buren, has placed all his hopes Of
success for the Presidency in carrying the cleo
ton TO the House of Representatives: The Cour-
er declares that all his measures for year past
have been taken with view to produce this result.
Any one who looks at the meagre majority by
which Mr.. VAN buren, elected in 1886, and
at the immense majority by which be was defeat
ed in 1910; who regards the disastrous results of
his administration and the signal condemnation
visited upon his measures of policy;-any one
who considers the personal unpopularty of the
man, his doubtful double dealing character, and
the utter impossbiity Of connecting any enthusi-
asm with his name--must be convinced, as Mr..
VAN buren, himself probably is, that he capnnot
ever receive the vote Of majority of the people
for another Presidential term. There is then, we
repeat, some probability in the Courier's notion,
that Mr.. VAN BURENs plan is to carry the cleo
ton to the House of Representatives. Ii is
known that in various Congressional districts at
recent elections the contests between the Van
Buren, and the Calhoun divisions for the nomina-
ton have been active and vIolent-but if particu-
lars be examined it may perhaps be found that in
almost every case the Van Buren, section has
prevailed. In one of the Virginia districts Gen.
DRoMGooLE, Van Buren, man, received the nom
nation over Mr. GooDE, the late member, Cal
hounte, few weeks since. The Courier thus
concludes on the subject:
This beyond all doubt, is his present game
and the vote in such contingency, Of every man
elected TO The next Congress, is as well known
to Mr.. VAN buren, and his clique as any fact
that has already occurred; and what is more,
measures have been taken to prevent the posi-
bility of change of their votes. Our friends
therefore, must be prepared 10 see dissenons in
the ranks of our opponcn;si and to see the VAN
buren, men oppose their being settled. We say
in all sincerity, that there exists no doubt but MI
VAN BUHgN would much rather have all the can
ddates of the Locofoco party in the field than to
have them unite upon himself. He knows that
the Wings can beat him; and he knows there
fore that his only chance Of election is through
the House Of Representatives.--Tog get there Mr..
CALHOUN must take the South from Mr.. Clay,
Mr.. CAss and Col. JOHNSON the Vest and Mr..
BUCHANAN Pennsylvania This is his scheme for
reaching the Presidential chair; and it only re-
mains to be seen how far all his competitors will
play into his hands.--Bah. american.

sincerely trust you are disposed to aid us to
HhS s ds1s Sd ye a9y pSWsE nap Cd have

bracing the entire contents of the week of the
Daily Union, making IS columns of close
reading matter, for the low price of s.one dol
lar" per annum i'll advance, and carefully mall
ell TO subscribers. Our Journal is devoted to
the Administration of John Tyler, whose name
is AT the head for the next Presidency, subject
10 the decision of Democratic national con-
vention. We are DESTROYS OF enisting YOU in
the cause, to enable us to give our weekly a
good and extensive circulation, in order to
spread before the people the principles and
policy of the Administration.
There are twenty-three postmasters in your
county with whom you are either acquainted,
or can communicate better than ourselves.
With these twenty-three and such friends as
they could doubtless influence, one hundred
subscribers ought easily to be obtained for us
III your county, and to accomplish this we
earnestly solicit your aid and exertons OF
the twcnty-tlirec postmasters on your applica-
ton i'll private friendly manner, we do not
believe one would refuse, but if we are mistak-
cn, would be glad to know who it is.-Y on
being master Of the most important Office in
your county, we have taken the liberty to Sc
lect you to do this much for and the good
cause in which we are actively engaged.
One hundred subscribers in your comfy, at
the low price of one dollar year, for a paper
of twentyeight columns of interesting matter
IS certainly moderate enough, and we hope
you will so far aid us by endeavoring to pro-
cure them.
II, however, you have not the time or incl-
nation to comply with the favor we solicit,
please write us frankly to that effect, in order
that we may endeavor TO accomplish our earn
est desire through some other channel. Trust
ing for an early reply, we remain,
Y our friends and ob't. serv'ts.

Robert e. Homer, just removed from the Post
Office at Princeton, has been furnished with the
reason Of his dismissal. 1t reads thus:
"Sir-You are accused of being at heart oppo-
sed to the National Administration
He had not been intermeddiing in politics, then
but was only suspected of being at heart oppos-
ed to Capt. Tyler! Upon this principle, we doubt
whether the Captain could find men enough in the
country of the right kidney to fill the Offices.

When John G. Spencer visited this city last
