THE MYSTERIOUS .. il.

II will be recoliecied that in the letter of Gen.
Jackson 70 Maj. Lewis, which xs pubiishedlast
week, there were two names emiited-lheit
8 pace being filled up, one with six apdthe other
with seven asterisk:. ~ Much speculation has
been rife asto who the persons we're Of whom the
Old General had sucha contemplate opfn ion.
AT irsf,lhe name Of The Editor Of the Union, Mr..
Richie, was supposed 10 be one Of hpss desig<
naled-but he wouldna submit to thsimputa.
tfon and forthwith published denial, stating that
Ne knew Inc person designated BY the seven >,
and that he resided north OF the Potomsc.
The New York Express gives cue 10 the
matter in the following paragraph
1--WE learn from gentleman Sho has had OPP.
porlunhies Of inspecting letter from Gen. Jack.
SON, that the "uaitor" spoken o., 10 his letter TO
Major Lewis, and the other person who fell un-
Der the displeasure Of the Old Hero, lthe sir :
800. we're Major Wslker, of Tennessee IA
her Of the present private secretary Of Mr.. Polk
land Gen. Cameron, of Pennsy lvania-and not
Mr. Richie. The latter is The lately elected
Senator from that State. He was The anl.c au.
Gus candidate, and was chosen by the Wings, and
2 few Of the "democtacyn Of Pennsylvania. It
was supposed that Mr.. Buchanan was al the bot
place 10 the United States Senate.
II seems that Gen. Cameron visited WASH
Fnglon some time previous 10 his election, and
proposed 10 enter into negotiation, as one Of a
number, 10 purchase The Globe. But Blair and
FRiyes refused TO negotiate. They considered
themselves TOO strong TO be removed This cir
cumslance gave rise to the aslerisks which sps
pear in the letter Of Gen. Jackson 10 Major
Lewis. In any points of view, il is On interesting
little Democratic quarrel, Of The merits Of which

Il No one however appears 10 be willing 10 be
understood as being the person indicated by the

al 10 say that he is not the person meant. Who
