hear Of him again for twelve months, so quietly in
this country does the chief magistrate step down
from his official eminence into the shades Of phi
vate life. Martin Van Buren, and ohm, it ppears,
were among the absentees. Perhaps it was part Of
their deep laid game FOR 1852 The chief of the IN

Douglas, Of Illinois, who is up for the Presidency
