We derive some consolation some enccur,rene,,
from these "reminiscences. They prove that tie pgrno,
disappointed ambition always sure in the end IN
defeat themselves and that consci, Us introry has rb

Scnptlve cdlcs ihe Senate, surely we have RIO reason

From this, II is evident the veteran Editor has taken
IN good earnest some ocular remarks about running hm
thu Vice Presidency. Mr. Van Buren,, for grave rca
sons, was not confirmed by the Senate when nominated
as Minister to Engand-and on this ound was elected
Vice President Mr.. Richie has forfeited bv scurrj
ous lhe, courtesy heretofore extended to the pubic
prnier-and why should he not as bearing the s.l 9,
Senatorial rcprobaliop, be made Vice President als7
There is "a charming narcte in the terms in which he
declines nomination for the Vice Presidency:
The compliments OF our friends are by far too H,eripp
and while we lay them before readers as proof f the
spirit Of the country. we must sincerity Il eclaim al
thought Of the high office with which orr too ,,rt,
friends have connected name. The ausiors 70 HER
intentions IN this regard have amused us not a little
but IN all seriousness, we declare that, even were we
competent discharge their cut es we have not the most

troubles and responsibilities in our opinion are not com
pensaed by the honor. The grapes We know are sour
and they hang hgh far hph above our reach but
IT they were Put INFO the palm Of hand we would no,
hesatc one moment to refuse all the hirbos or the low

In the same paper, after abusing Mr. Calhoun and the
Florida Senators, the Editors say:
We have irhornc To the strong language which We
now employ The coalition have attempted to brand dc.
gradaon upon forehead. for daring in the spirit of
free press, publish the words of corre.pondent who
felt tr the rights and honor Of his untrv and REGARDED
them as about TO be sacrificed by the loss of III for raj.
ing men to aven9e her wrongs and yndicate her rights
We have iorhorno To use this language before becausc
we still INDUCED spirit of cancellations with the "a rnest
desire okeepa the democratic party tgethcr-a time
when the Virginia elections rapidly advancinp-and
with the hope. even the faint hope. of making IN this
breach and still Of securing sacred the b ry oftlc press
We had faint hope that Mr.. Calhoun pht have tie
"'a coura9e, me liagnannlty which rare and
precious. to assist in bold and liberal fl; ri TO undo The
past We have frbone all strong attacks upon those
who have done this deed. Three DAYS have they had
time TO cool dowa their passions. and feel wi at they
owed to the principles OF the party and above ALL what
is dua to ireepr They have failed in this We
must therefore stand up boldly and openly no, for cur
selves 50 much as for party.
How prcyerse in Mr. Calhoun,-wih three DAYS
grace allowed HIM. not to reirace his STEPS and invite Mr.
Rche back. How generous in tho Editors of the L.
