Colonel Johnson never had any serious pre-
lensions-and Nh. Tylrr's claims to admission
into the Convention, were never admitted by
the domineerng Jacobin organ. SO, the held Is
clear for Mr.. Van Buren,. Thus they argue
lnAsmuch as none OF Mr.. Van Boren's rivals
have made head against him, and have not the'e-
meriiy to raise the nag oi rebellion, they cs'cu-
late ON having the use Of the entire strength oil

10 which nation they would prefer to fight
against, or The officer they desired TO lead them
he took il for granted that they would obey
his orders. And 10 this extent Mr.. Van Buren,
counts on the discipline and subordnation OF
the Democratic forces, when The May Conven-
lion shall install him as the commandments.
That the leading friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,
either feel, or affect to feel, that mountain has
been removed from their shoulders by Mr.. Cal
houn's Letter. we think the following extracts
furnish strong indications:

or pjuriously affect his chance of nomination
nay, his chances Of successive must be per
mtted to say that, as at present advised, we do
not exactly agree with him in opinion.
