CTHitherto John Van Buren, has been the
captain Of the Barnburners. Henceforth how
ever we presume he is only TO be second in
command. His father, ex-President Van Blu.
rem, as we see it stated in various papers, has
avowed his determination to oppose the cleo
ton of Gen. Cass. The open assumption Of
such position by such a man is darkly
be thought OF Martin Van Burens political
honesty, he is undoubtedly one of the keenesi
and shrewdest politicians that ever lived, and
we are very sure that he would not now come
forth against the regular nomination of the To-
cofoco party but for the absolute certainty OF
itsdefeat.
