It is, too, an addition to the ecuse of grief, that he had just attained that hig paation whqre all the great qualities ani glorious culture of his nind might ex pam their wing and tCake their flight over th, gaze of the world.

We knowy very well how couvenient it is for aspiriig politicians to have tuo or strce horses to ride, to tLat if one breahs d.wi, they will-itill have a fresh one to fall I-nek on. The growing popularity of 'ir. Cal-1 houn in thiA State. and indeed its the ad r joioi; States, has a, leugth awakened the ttention of the I-aders, and they now be gin t fe:1 and see the utter iu possiiliility of arresting its progress. The truth is, that Mr. Van bt.ren a name cannot ever. pass a ward meeting in this city, at an ordinary assemblage of the cmulocracy. as their first cIe fo thme Presideoey tau-l, frowm in the anterior of the State, this maph n - sidered a fair index to the feeling't of theI majority ofthe pecople. It ougt ri ot to beI concealed that the greatt bhk o the demo-. cracy of this city andh State. ere actuared and governed by) t wo impotrtuant conidelra tions totuching their choiice of canutddt-s for the Presidency. (One is, they are int pressed with the belief what Mr. Van liu. ren could not hce elected if heo were tore csve the unanimtous nminationm of the Democrdltic Republican Nationual Con rention. The other iis, what he has alreta dy received the highw.-st honmors thmaw could r be conterred upons hiwm by his cousuy men, and that us alh these lhe should be satisfied. Such are te L.entimenms that Spervade the. great body of the democcrucy of thias State, and whbey are the sentmnt,, too, thaat ought to govern the jndgoteurs o.f freemen in thte'selection of the cantdidate who is to vield the demstiniestof this great nation.
