We begin to believe That Mr. Van bnren IS Aias',

the evidences are full strong as those required y

NIGHT Well the Caucus met, Mr.. Calhoun TRENDS
did attend, and Mr. Jones, Van Buren, man, was
elected Speaker We began to suspect that he!e was
force still in the inccnta,ions- then van Bu'en
Clerk of the fiouse was elected Iris second TRIUMPH
made bis opponents look ct each other s'2nncany' as
much as 10 say 'iout you smell sulphur al length
Blair K Rves were elected Printers

There was no standing THIS; Mr.. Van Buren, un-
douhtedy magician. Honest John lyies, ana
honest John Jones Of the aiadisoran, began 10 think
there was no Joke in all this t'a hn time had arrived
to bring out the Long Tom and let Mr.. Van Buren,
understand that he 10 he held responsible, ut least
for Blairs election; accordingly the columns of that
powerful paper opened urorsly or the Sage, that
he smoked more pipes, than his renowned ancestor
Woulcr Van Twller did, when his vile hid away Tue
stone Jug containing The Schsdam.
Recovering from their alarm nj Washington, they
voted that these results after all, indicated no great
strength for Mr. Van Burep; but purely The effect
Of the caucus SYSTEM they snugiy ensconced Them
selves under the shade Of the delnsion, until news ar
rived that Alabama, strong Calhoun Slate was Will
ing to 60 for Mr. Van Buren, They began 10 smell
ulphuv again. and honest John Jones instructed
TO burn little more powder, and 1t the magician IN
derstand, that without "TYer help The chauldron
never could be- made 10 bubble. Before the new year
had set in. another earthquake felt Mr.. Buchan-
an struck his flag, leaving one Richmond less IN the
field. Van Buren, stock rose nearly to par, when to
leap the climax" the Legislature of this great State
assembled, and the cid Hunkers carried the dag.
II was all The Bridge Of Lodi was carried,
and the fields Of Austerrz and Marengo were won in
rapid Succession. Van Buren, IS nagcinn beyond all
doubt AID cav TIE NEST amusing part of lie sue
cecdDg drama is, that Tyler has turned Wing, and
homes, J In Jones declares, ,ha. he will elect Clay,
nnleas Mr. Van Buren, comes u some friendly under
standing wiih The lo.sers tia. be Now, TO be serious,
for it is mailer, what has Mr. Tyler 10 expect
from the Wings: Formally, bitterly, and violently
denounced by that party Congress- treated with m
suit and conlumely by leaders, and by rank and file,
branded az common rolitica! swinder, who was
seeking to sustain his sinking position by the Tree use
of The peoples patronage, there was no ct|eh OF the
republic, unspa,ingy rcvilcd, insu!tFd ard abused
Democratic ranks. Where is he to go' Appeal TO the
sympathies of Mr. Clay: What kind of reception
does he expect 10 meet with from the great hehtuck-
,an'
But, says Mr.. Tyler, how have been treated by the
Demncralic party, that party which revived and re-
suscua,fd by my veto on the Banks and by abandon
ing The " hir party We answer MIR. Tyler, by say
ing that he had the sympathy and good wishes OF the
party he had lis support 10 great extent; he had pow
erful and available friends; he had organization here
and in other States he could call together, at any
time meeting of three thousand Tyler men in this
city alone he had the nucleus OF powerful party )
the c uds OF Mr. Van Buren, lis gradual increase
with some uneasincss, i might finally have led to his
nominations It certainly would have carried him thro
his administration with honor, and secured for hun and
his friends power and protection hereafter, but ne
cooy and fai,hessly turned his back on those, who
rskcd political repGa alton and sacricec time ana mo-
ney in sustaining hlm-he placed himself IN the hands
of secret enemies rewarded them with honors and IN
iluence and they have sacrificed him. and reduced him
10 that most de- loIatle Of all poslons, dependant
on the pardon ard charitable feelings of the Wing par
Is winch had denounced and abandoned him.
Does Nh Tyler think that The recent demonstrations
IN CONGRESS are evidences Of Mr.. Van Buren strength
aud popularity Has be so lit,le political discern
mcni as MOI perceive that they are the victories OF
the great Democratic Party--the gathering, raiying,
and combining energies of that powerful irresistible
patty which carries every thing before like an ava
lanche Mr. Van }ureo, from the force %! circum
stances combining the greatest strength is The prom
candidate Of The party, but he is the mrrc agent
saccess the recipient nj rs confidence is
the power and the principles Of the party ITSELF and
not the man that ,rumphs. This it is tina, finally
brings Mr. Calhoun to the snPPor, Of The nominee OF
his party, and his pretended friends and admirers
cannot insult him grossly than in supPosing him
capable OF sacrificing his party from personal consider
atoms. Ii the combined efforts of The opposition, al
The approaching campaign, can ovsrpower the Demo
cratic Party, Mr.. Van Buren, sinks with it; bn, Mr.
Tyler and his Administration, in error, in suppo-
are graphing with the Democracy, and The struggle
they will be srongled in lts grasp. Mr.. Van Bnren
and his friends, have unkind feelings towards Mr.
Tyler they cannot be held responsible for the indie
