THE PREsIDENCY.-A friend, a politician of
standing and influence, possessing in an eminent
degree the confidence of the leading men at
Washington, writes to the editor of the Mountain
Democrat from that city under date OF February
9Th "Vce President Breckenridge is an as
pirant for the Charleston nomination, and will
continue to be until the question is closed-a
strong, discreet polite aspirant, and he enters
the field under the most favorable circumstances.
He is acceptable TO the friends of the President
and of Senator Douglas. and they may unite on
him and thus, in measure, heal the diSsensions
in the ranks OF our party. If President Buchau-
an aud Senator Douglas both prefer him TO any
one else, which seems TO be eoncod ded, he will
unquestonably be nominated on the first ballot
If not without opposition. SO far as the ques-
tiOn of nominati is concerned deem ii unWise
10 express a preference for any or opposition to
any Of the distinguished Statesmen mentioned in
connection with the Presidency; | deprecate such
expression Of preference or opposition on the
part OF any true DEMOCRAT, as tending to discOrd
and distraction in our ranks, aud as iraught only
with mischief, | shall cordially support the
nominee of the convention, and | hope every
other democrat will make like promise. Al
The present writing Brecknridge's prospects for
the nomination are decidedly the brightest"
