WASHINGTON, April -, 1913
Suggestions concerning that grars and important
subject. the PRESIDENCY of the United States, to-
gethsr ,cith some Tap Room Intelligence, and an
-anecdofe Of Gairisnsis and the Reverend Chap
lain Of the Senate.
Important intelligence was received last even
ing from Mexico, that has settled the question Of
the treaty ratification beyond doubt; and If il
is ratified, it will be withouta quorum, OF which
there is but slight chance. This intelligence
will be confirmed by the first public news from
that country. This is the time that grand coup
de main is brewing for the annexation of the
whole of Mexico. This will be the slight en-
bryo OF a mighty result. The knowing ones are
all on the look-out-the stupid ones are all as
tonished. The wings are trying their best to
ties won't stand it. The Taylorites are return
ing to their first loves; all is confusion worse
COMPOUNDED What the up-shot of it will be
no one knows Polk is making every exer-
ton for a denomination; the tap-rOom OF the
White House is filled with nice spirits, and many
is the man who is fattered by a slap on the
shoulder to go down and liquor, Our private
opinion rs, mat son, some DBL Q, the following names
Gen. Cass beguIled, deluded, and betrayed-for
these politicians have wiled him TO the top of
his bent The convention will obEge us by
their favorable consideration, as is said to the
Office seekers when they wish to get rid OF them
Robert J Walker, President,
John A. DIX, Vice President.
This would carry New York, and take with
the South
Sam Houston. President,
Gen. Pierce, Vice President.
This would crafty New Eogland and delight
Texas; but the West would groan at it, very,very
loud. Well try again:-
Lewis Cass, President,
Gen Butler, VIce-President
This sounds nice, but Wilmot proviso men
will kick against it. Well 90 on, for fear the
convention will forget a candidate
James Buchanan, President,
Gen. Qultman, Vice President.
This would carry Mississippi and Pennsy Iva
MIA for certain, and might be generally popular I;
G.. M. Dallas, President,
Col Jefferson Davis, Vice President.
This would heal the Taylor trouble, and would
not be so bad a ticket after all, but now for
Levi Woodbury., President,
Dixon II. Lewis, Vice President.
This ticket has the greatest weight Of any, but
there is not enough glory about it to run well.
All the gentlemen thar have enumerated have
been spoken of more or less, together with James
X. Polk, John G. Calhoun and Col Benton; and
now have reached the end of the list, hope, on
the democratic side of the question. In my next
letter shall suggest some tickets tor the wings.
Galviensls is discharged at last. 1t is said there
were but three Senators voted against that just
measure; but we hope the three may yet learn to
see the error of their ways, for the old Psalm
book says,
While the lamp Of glory burns,
The vilest sinner may return
Galviensls ls said to be man of eruditon far
beyond many of the Senators themselves, as we'll
as scholar of high attainments all speak well
of him, and all that have known him were
warmly interested in his favor. curious anec-
dote is told of his Imprisonment. Some one
said to the Rev Mr.. Steer, of the Senate, that
II was rumored he was deranged. The divine re-
Piled, 81 think SO, for he gave my funeral dis
course upon Mr.. Barrow, a scathipg critique,
when all the gentlemen whose opinions asked
said that il was excellent" sensible reason,
truly, why he was crazy. RoDERlcK RANDOM.
