DEAR SIR
The very Old Boy seems to have got into the
mails and expresses /; not a copy OF your widely
sought-for Journal had been received here up to
Sunday morning of later date than Tucsday-
What is the matter, and who is to blame ? The
Surrogates having been nearly all appointed, and
each teat othe treasury having been supplied with
mouth, the office seekers have taken their depar-
parture, and man pass through the hall OF the
capitol, where the tide WATERS assembled without
being dragged into the Executive Chamber, to sup
port man he never saw before.
Mr. Van Buren, did not succeed in causing the
oil and water of the Argus and Atlas to comminge,
and it is now currently reported that change is to
take place in the affairs ofthe Atlas. MIR. French,
a young gentleman Of wealth, and possessed OF
considerable talent, who owns the Atlas and runs for
Congress, has 1t Is sad grown weary OF publishing
At considerable expense, paper for amusement, and
Mr.. Cassiday, a very capable, but ind0ent writer,
is equally tired OF editing gratis and the twain are
about TO sell and dispose of the Atlas to Messrs..
Bryant q Co. of the Evening Post. In the event OF
such an arrangement going into effect, MIR. van
Dyke, formerly of the Argus, and perhaps Mr.. God
win, will be the editors. My word for 1t, such an
arrangement will not improve the matter. for Mr..
Van Dyke is not more capable than Mr.. Cassiday,.
and neither possess the shrewdness and tact of
Croswell. The Argus has, however, OF late, been
lett too much to the management OF an assistant
editor, who writes well enough, but WHO seems to
be ignorant Of tho fact, that every political paper
must be conducted with some especial aim and end
in vlew 49,
The Judgeship of the Third Circuit is still in
abeyance, and il is whispered about that General
Peter Gansevooit, Of this city, now first Judge OF
Common Pleas, is to wear the ermine; Judge u.
is a man Of old and excellent family, Is rich,

learn certainly that he is candidate, but II he is,
will wager suit OF clothes, that he is appointed;
ne has been Senator one term; Hoiiman's hobby
FOR reasons urged by the ex-President, and men,
toned retofore, has received the go by for this
session, and convention will not be proposed this
session. In the interim, quid nuncs are looking
aboutfor candidate for Governor: Amongst the
Games mentioned. there is one, which as yet meets
with opposition and which seems to strike every
as peculiarly appropriate; that is, Chief Justice
Nelson, of the Supreme Court; lie - an honest,
talented, high minded man; has beenl for 10 years
way been mixed up with the measures OF either Sec
ton of the party having sedulously refrained from
all active partizanship since his elevation to the
bench. 1t is said that there, is not man In the
State, against whom so little that is injurious can
be said, and for whom so much can 20 urged.
Horace Greeley's nomination Of Willis Hall, ex-
cites no small amusement in this quarter, and
imagine Horace will find that he is not the wing
party. john ~ Col|eI, tHb Oppontn', ~ we Con.
veniion, Of Gov. Bradsh, is still ia the field, and
from his high order OF talents and his personal cha
racter, 1t will be hard to nominate any one over
him. Seward will not be candidate, but Bradsh
and Weed will be.
There is to be city assembly Of the aristocracy
at Congress Hall this evening, which is intended
to be vastly select, but the great trouble here u.s. as
it is in New York, that large portion OF the arls.
The managers, but two would have been admitted
a few years since; these are Gen. Cooper and Mr.
Temple--but wealth will break do~n even social
barriers and exclusiveness is all CANNON. we.
who dwell at Congress Hall, will share in the festl-
lies, and will most likely give you sketch ofmat-
tiers and things. AU REvoIR.
