A CARD

Eleven members of Congress from the
State of Ohio have stated that "we have
reason to fear that very serious move
meut has, for weeks, been on foot in this
city, in the absence of the people, which
is intended to act. If possible, upon the
convention, and 10 induce that body 10 set
aside the viii Of the American Democracy,
thus explicitly and solemnly expressed
20 discard The man [Mr. Van Buren, in
whose favor lha, will was so expressed,
and to nominate in bis stead some other,
or any other person."
It is not here stated by whom "this
movement" has been put ION foot" but
we presume the charge can point 10 no
others than members of Congress. With.
out intending, in The slightest degree, to
reflect on the honor or patriotism Of those
who have participated in such move
rneBt--if any such has existed-the charge,
if Intended TO embrace the South Carolina
delegation, is entirely destitute of truth.
They. have neither put on foot themselves,
nor couuselled or aided others 10 put on
foot, any such movement.

II, has been satisfactorily ascertained
that the annexation letters Of Clay and
Van Buren, were written by concert, the
same programme serving for each. Ii IS
singular that both these letters contain the
same three doors Of retreat from lheir. OPP
position to annexation, viz: consent of
Mexico-actual foreign interference-and
popular feeling. No one here doubts the
concert tba, existed, nor its motives, the
chief of which was jealodsy TO MIR. Cal
houn. 1t was The deliberate results o!
conspiracy to crush that great statesman
and rival, and this beliefhas created an en-
thusiasm for him in the South, aud unan-
unity which he never possessed before,
probably 10 so great an extent. II has
converted many foes to friends, and altho'
he has Withdrawn himself from the present

become candidate, yet it is consoling for
him 10 know the Increase of his admirers.
