The object of the lntelligencer can scarcely be
mistaken. 1t TO show that, notwithstanding Mr.
Folks own disclaimer, Sat least one leading mem
Der of the administration" is in favor Of second
term; and that this article is put forth in the Rich
mond Enquirer "a feeler of the pulse Of the de-
mocracy" Thus, the lntellgencer hopes to cas-,
a shade of doubt over the conduct of Mr.. Polk and
his friends, to bring them SUSPICION and to draw
around them the jealousy OF the friends Of other
gentlemen; and IN word, to set the republicans by
the ears, and, by sowing suspicion, to divide US;
and by driding, conquer us. The trick will not

''at least one leading member" He is a
friend OF the administration, that Is certain;
but by what authority does the lntelligencer
call HIM "memoer-a Heading member of
the adminlstration"-a member Of the cabinet,
or an attache OF the executive department.
He IS not such. lie never was, as we are advised,

misfortune OF differing essentially with him.
We know something OF him, and something also
OF his production 1t now appears, that similar
communication was sent to us, with that TO the
Richmond Enquirer" We saw at once what
would be SAID by such papers as the "National In

Its original form,-that il would have been held up
as feeier, or, as we said, "it would DO grossly

We stack tho whole passage out, about the
second term, and trusted to the good sense
OF our correspondent to excuse us for the lib
