The presidential election is only couple of months
away. It seems to create no speculation Since the

old republic, event OF this important character has
attracted so little notice We are happy in having like
our ancestors, man in whom we can all confde
and against whom all opposition would be useless There

States have Joined the Gonfederacy the second place in
the nation should be offered citizen of of them

Mr. Ryes, of Virginia. Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky;
Mr. John Bell, Of Tennessee; Nr. Ballard Preston of
Virginia; Mr.. J. NJ. Mason, of Virginia. Gov jackson,
of Missouri; and some others. There are those who
think that theEew president must only be taken
from the border States but that his political anteeedents
shall have been different from those Of the president
