M& Vwi Bursn's friend persist in thinking they can elect . him, if nominated by the Nations! Conven tion. Our deliberate conviction is thnt he xanntrt be elected against Mr Cl.iy. " What , tho Express says of the opposition to, him in New York", is eveji moro true as to the Southern .Stale that not a vota-.whbh waa.cat ngaiosl him in 1910, but , would be cast agaimthim again. It is true that the Democratic party Inva gained with the People in the last two years, but not Mr Van Buren onu incly he is just as odious now to the majority that put him down in 1840, ns he was then, nod it is on odium no party device can overcome. His friends pretend to say he fell by his principles and . , for them not, so, his principles, fell by him. Mr. Van Buren's own wint uf manliness end elevation in statesmanship, and jhe ut temnpopularityofthc men hobrought ebont him. ns his confidential advisers, this it was '-broke him and his party dovo, and it wilr i t i . if I : lii &l,ninn DreaK nim uown again, n i b w cmwi) w be thoir leader. There u scarcely a boulh ern State which Mr. Clay cbuld not carry npninst Mr. Van Buren. The snme thing the lute elections in the Wet show to be true there. ". In New York, which, was carried against ,. him by 20,000 mnjority in 1840, .it is scarcely eonceiwible he can succeed, after the late out rageoua-usurpation! upon popu lar rights Committed b the Syracuse con. ention in rejecting the District system, nnd packing the delegation to the National Con. vention. These snap-judgments1, of which Mr. Van Buren has taken so many, in the last twelve months, will ultimately do lus cause no good. We' in South Caitlina are not afraid of being in a minority , And if he is fairly nominated, we shalt stand by him as we did before, even when his on State turned d sctfl-nfuj back on him. Bu.kwesny again t,hat when we consider the very prin ciplo on which his friends propose ' to un him m'engrTpbn-thcroTjpostw-pnrty it is all nonsense to think that those who put him-down before, will not ' strain 1 every nerve to put him down again, anl with , qual if not better chances ot success.

Thus strangers to-districts are selected for' districts. Thus a Sjra, cuso convention assembled from Erie, or St. Lawrence, is presumed to-'kiuiw more of the winhes of the",4th or Ojh. Ward f New York city; thun- their own delegates from 4heir own homes. The ' A Ibany Re. eencv.and Mr. Van.

And ifls this falsehood ih praejice, and this pretension in laith, Which makes us take up our pen in a (natter thai does not -concern us, " ... As for tho nomination of Mr Van lBu;.

" ' Hitherti, it has bccridcemed necessary whenever 'Whig hr Locofoco prjeseiitcd a - , 'Candidnte for the Presidency tha he should be 8ureof his own' State that tie should have the endorsement of his; own fellow- men- if, from Virginia, that. Virginia . sljould be sure for him, ir if from Ohio or Kenrocky, that Ohio or, Kentucky should clearly unequivocally, and emphaiically'en dorse him. The spectacle, however, is ' now presented of a candidate again put Boon the field, benten every where, not on. ly as. man never wus beaten, but disowned, discartledy his owfr-fcHowTmcrrin tiis own Slate ? It is preposterous to fancy that auevh a candiduteTTia "'Buc'eeed. We beg to know of the Albariy Argus, if It be not asking too much, upoii what grounds Mr; Van Buren can hopu for bet ter success in 1844 than in 1840. We anticipate the answer. "The Whigs drank hard rider." Well, they may drink bard cider nguin. If ihere be any thing in. thcif Caodidate,t1)at (imptf n cider drink 1ng,t!e3ame temptation inlnfrsartie nwbei. istsafrain.

Welt, if VanTJureu I-ucofocos wre as marketable as cattle in b 8J0, they'may bu boughwhd sold i 1844. The same VVIng .apo general ppposiuon tliut existed against Mr.-'Va'ii Buren 'in 1840 exists now. There may be the eamtt pipe-laying. The- Bank of Englund nil exists." If, as the Argus,: tho Globe,"and others allege, their pa rjy are so corrupt as to be purchaseable, the Whigs-hava just as many temptations ana provocations iuut ihem now as wo had three years ogb. Thus to prop jipVan Buenhat calls jt aelf Democracy accuses democracy, that is, the mnjority of the People, of being venal and corrupt.'and then hopes Jo . elect Van Buren by that mnjority, that,- if once venal, will be doubly venal again ! Do. mocracy is outraged by a false charge, and then tho maker of that charge is shoved bo. fore the people to win the afllctions thus outraged. ." Was aver woman in such hu. mor won t" ' It is clearas light; thai if this Syracuso movemeot of ihe Albany Regency be pr sisted in. Henry CIbv will be the next Pres. ident of the United States. It is'riotjli tho nature even of a so-called democrat, often ihe tamest, most supple, and cringing of ail huirtun beings, so to disown lus own sen, his own. self-inderendence, and his own self-will, as in silence to be juggled . out of his own preferences as at byfacuseyanu to be drawn like u dog to votefor him, whom fwice voted for?he now prefers IeasJelany. man in his ranks. If, howevctt"pti(Tof all ihe manliness of a man, tho overwhelm ins force of a nartv organization be such as to crush in terror all Calhoun, Cass and Johnson men, yet among conscripts, drag- god to a .war, with hearts elsewhere for other Generals, if would be false to human nature to suppose that such soldiers can bring victory to any flag. . - Try it, howev. cr, gentlemen, if you please, Try it again and again. We, who might hive felt cool under some circumstances, feel warm now, for it ia the true passion' of revenge, that pushei Mr. Van Buren forward once inore. That is not a motive to cool Whig ardor, JiuUm the contrary, 4t is the greatest slim. ulua toJWJii" aeoB-iOTmajBoteswiui in due timo-bring the Whig victories. What you called '.'Whig orgies," that is Whig conventions, Whig sor.gs, Whig music, wjjfappear again upon this reaur. rection oi au old ghost. Col. Younr is reported to have said Set Syracuse, " The Vote that overwhelmed him (Van Buren,) and them, was brought out like Macbeth's witches, by incantation." If you will raise the incantation, the same spirits will throng forth again, tit iiiul the old play for you of Hamlet played again, with the same ac tors on the stage, to have the same results.' YdU do not nppea to be sattshen w)tn tne exhibition of 1840. Will 1844 satisfy, or are we to keep on till 1848 or 1852 ? i.

We invite the attention of our readers to tlio extract from tlie letter, of : Judge McLean to a ge ntleman in Virginia, which we publish below. It gives a quietus to the fears created by the assertions of the " Lo. cofoco presses that 'the nomination of Mr. Clay for the Presidency by the Baltimore convention, would cause defection with that portion of the-Whig party", who are the friends of Judge McLean. Wo believe that Henry Clay is the first choice of the mass of the Whig party, and he can be elected if brouglT'"before thejpeople, but in the event of some Providential hindrance, or-MrJay'adecliniflg-la become a. can didate, we have no doubt that Judge Mc. Lean would then be the choice of the Wh; parly. But it is useless to speculute upon this subject, flenry Clay will be the Whig candidate if he lives, Judge . McLean 'is-a pure patriot, and. more ihan that huuis in favor of Mr. Clay for the Presidencjj as will be seen by bis letfer. His opinion of gthe misrule aud corruption practised in the administration of the government for the last ten "or twelve years, is the resuhycotof party .prejudice. but of calm observation. ; His 'views of . . " ' ,, -j ' . -what a President ought to be, are thoso of a patriot. t " He withdrew' from Gen.

It is to thij he p Dudes when he says,' ''a -departure from 'these principles drpve xnQ reluctsntly from political life.1 His letter is dated . the 10th of, August 1843;' of which the following is an extract - " The office of President, in my opinion has been lowered, and also the:' character of the country athome and abroad, by means tised ttj secure that ofn.ee, t .High as the Presidency of this great natidij,.js,it may oe reac nea oi too g.reai price. i hiuk-j, below the ambition of an honorable mind, when it is .attitinable only by a sacrifice of the loftiest patriotism. ..Not to name others, we have in the elevation of J tilers on, Madi son, and Monroe, examples ofa mgh and honorable ambition which is worthy of itm- tatiori. . 1 hese eminent men wnen named for."theoffice of Presideut,jeposing on what they had done and what their- Known capacities enabled them to do, in' the high est. public trust, neither took nor seemed to take any agency-in thev own advance mentl'-'' " - - ' r'.:-!ft ztTFot mahV vears I have been deenlv impressed with the Jniustice tne corrupt. ing -and ruinous effects of political parti- zanship.- Its introduction into the rederal Government, has welTnich ruined our be- loved country . .Before tin bane had per.

Qur pe. cuniary losses, within a few past years, are almost beyond the power of computa tion ; but these are scarcely worthy of con sictaration in comparison c with the loss, it maybe the irreparable Mail of moral force in our iostitutiens. That . man must be blind to the admonitions of history who supposes that a treo- government can be long Sustained, which addresses itself, with alt its influence, to the baser passions of our nature. ouch a course, leadi to a wide ly diffused corruption and consequent ruin. In my judgment, nothing can rescue our government from this the common fate of republics, but a change In its political ac. tion.TJiisactionmust- be elevated. ll must reach and rouse the moral tone of the H!lipnjJnsJEe adof .administering to-the prostituted appetites of 'demagogues, it must rest on a virtuous and enlightened public opinion.
