JOHN VAN buren, AND MIKE WALsH.-John Van
Buren, has left the city, on a free soil expedition
to the State of Pennsylvania, where he expects to
draw off a suficiency of votes lromthe democratic
party, SO as to give that State to General Taylor.
This is undoubtedly Johns object, but whether
he will succeed in his views is another matter
Some one recommends that Mike Walsh-who
is as much celebrated as an old bunker as John
Van Buren, is as barnbumer-be despatched after
John, to the same State, for the purpose of follow
ing in his wake, and winning back all the votes
that Johns eloquence may withdraw from Gene
raj Cass. This Is a capital idea. If John Van
Buren, is good stump orator, SO is Mike Walsh.
They might, too, come across each other one Of
those days, and then would come the tug of war.

was known that he was in the city of SALT the
mayor waited on him, and, after profering hum
the hospitaliues of the city, made arrangements
TO give the general dinner, and do the usual
honors OF such occasions A parlor having been
provided at the Syracuse House, the form of in
Productions was gone through with, and the good
citizens of Syracuse had the pleasure of shaking
the veteran hero by the hand. After the mayor had
Introduced an uncounted number of persons din
ner was announced, and large company sat
down 10 hastily got up, but sumptuous repast.
The eatables were soon disposed of, and then
followed champagne and toasis. The affair was,
on the whole, perhaps as pleasant as though the
mayor and corporation had been a week pre-
pairing Tor it. All were happy for the time, and
rose from the table at a easonable hour, all the
better for their short entertainment.
