Good IHrjre.

Good Adrice.
The "PeERsytrGRidn," in the annexed para.
graph, gives its Democratic associates some excel
lent advice. That, however. is n task very easily
Periormcd-Any one can give advice: but the dit:
hculty lies in following it. To say on paper To the
Van Buren, men, the Calhoun men. the Buchanan
men, &c, heal Your discussions and pledge YOUR.
selves To 20 for one another, costs no labour, and
produces no strain upon the conscience but for n
Calhounitc TO support n Van Burcnitc with the
same zeal he would one of his own kith. is next
to an umpossibility. And to look somewhat close
~ into the matter. why should he do it, What has

in the administration of the Government Will
Free Trade and Low Duties, and Direct Taxes,
and rigid economy. and strict accountability ofthc
ofhce-holders, he adopted and cntorccdl Will
Calhoun men he tavoritcs with the undertook
Dynasty, and will they be- honoured with n fair
proportion OF the offices and the pap And will
the influence OF the Executive he used 10 advance
Mr.. Calholn's chances for the succession If
these questions bc answered in the negative. in
what way are the CaihouniteS to he compensated
by the success of Van Buren, They are not quite
abstract enough to find comfort in the simple fact
of the success OF The Dcmocracy," when none OF
the practical benefits of that success cnure 10 them.
They might be contcn; To see their cherished prin.
pies postponed. and even To be deprived OF any por.
ton OF the spoils: but they would submit with an
~il-gracc To see the door To the succession closed to
them, as it would he, Nv Vans elevation.
On the other hand, what has Van Buren, to Gain
personally by the election Of Mr. Calhoun! lie
has lived long enough 10 know the hollow aud de.
ccptivc character OF Democracy and Democratic
proicS>ions-and he is the last man 10 mike n per.
sonal sacrifice for their success. in the name of any
other person. Certainly. he will no; do so to CRAFTY
one. for whom lie cannot but entertain tine strong.
est feelings OF aversion. And if there would be
nothing gratity ing To Mr.. Van Buren, in the Gle.
walton Of Mr.. Calhoun, how would it he with Mr.
Van Buren's iriends-the odd Hunkers"-who
have been feeding 1t the public CRIB for many
years! Would they any longer be favouritcs at
the White House Would they dare to dictate an
appointment 10 Calhoun Would they venture TO
ask 4 boon for themselves after abusing him as
they have done, and laboring insidiousIy to defeat
him.
The same may be said of the other aspirantS.
Why should Mr.. Calhoun, or Mr. Van Buren,. post.
pone their superior claims for eight years-and
probably forever, TO the pallry prctensions OF such
porrcpus as Cas-, Buchanan, or Johnson There
is no reason or justice, in asking them to do 50.
The Old EIunkers' may appca! rs much as
they please. Tor harmony and union, (their object
Is well understood)-hu while each aspirant has
his own separate interests, their appeals will ne.
Yer avail any thing.
