placed in the hands Of the people that
they may if they will understand the
subject.
The political game "fox and geese"
continues to be played between ''the
foxes Van Buren, & Co., and ''the
gooses," the people, the Jackson "hne"
business being one move. At the same
time poIitica game Of chess is played
by Van & Calhoun to decide which
"fox" shall have charge Of the geese"
and the privilege OF pIucking them.
Mr.. TYLER was, a short time ago, the
friend oi Mr.. Calhoun; but Of late he
has become Jealous Of him, since ne has
found that the latter has 10 notion OF
giving up his claims to the Presidency
and supporting him. Equally Or more
hostile is Mr.. I. to Mr.. Van Buren,:
Benton he perfectly hates. Poor

most egregiousIy hoaxed at this time
by Garret ID. Wall and about DR. zen
other equally pure Locofocos of New
Jersey. Who sent, a deputation here a

Now these men have not the slight.

and yet neither Mr.. Tyler nor Mr.
Wicklife can see it, while others arc
making themselves merry at their stu

and far between.) seeing the removals
and appointment going on net under

be swept away in the raging current
