WEDNESDAY", Novexbkr 10,1841.
We have received a communication,
making a nomination for the Presidency
of the South Carolina College; hut too
late for this week's paper. It shall appear
next week.
Mr. Van Buken begins to be seriously
spoken of by some of his political party
as a candidate for the Presidency at the
next election. A meeting of his friends
was held in Philadelphia, on the 25th ult.
fht? finest inn of immediate nc
IV WUWIMV. -? _
tion on the subject. A committee ap-i
pointed by the meeting made two reports, J
one from the majority, and the other from '
the minority ; one favorable to delay, the
other to immediate action. The meeting
adopted the report which favored delay.
It is well understood that Mr. Vax Burex
is willing to run, should his parly be wil-;
ling to take him up. This he plainly j
intimated in a reply to a public meeting
(we forget where) which nominated him '
. as a candidate soon after he left Washington
in the spring. He was the only :
President who saved money from his salu.
ry. The household expenses of all his
predecessors, during their term of service, 1
equalled their salaries; whereas it has
been said that ilfr. Vax Blrcx saved fifty
or sixty thousand dollars out of the j
hundred thousand paid him during his1
four years' service. If this be so, it is a
strong temptation?and the only rational!
A temptation we can think of?to become a ;
candidate a second lime for re, election.
He is not, however, without competitors
in the ranks of his party for so brilliant a
^ 1
prize. (Jen. Cass, Corn. Stewaht, ana
Mr. Buchanan all have their supporters.
The Wilmington, (N, C.) Chronicle
i states, on the authority of a gentleman
from Washington, who received the information
from the President, that whilst I
there are daily applications for office from J
every other state in the Union, there are j
few or none from North Carolina."!
Such a fact speaks volumes for the manly ,
independence of the 4,old North State."

FAITHFUL FL'JILIC O'FFICP.K. ; ,
Mr. Nayuax SkuukAxt, who was np-'j
pointed, last April, agent of public timber I 1
in East Florida, upon repairing to his Matron;
found the office to bo a more sine- ,
c ire, as it Jiad been ever since the coniincitement
of lue Florida war; the fear
f the Indians effectually preventing all
depredations upon the timber. Instead,
tl?eretotf?, of receiving l.is salary, and
spending his time in idleness, or the prosecution
?f his private business, as his pre^
docessor in the s.nne circumstances had
done, and as too many would do, he recommended
that the office ho suspended
during the continuance of the Seminole
war; which has accordingly been done j
fey the President, and Mr. Serge ant, like j
an honest man as he is, has returned |
inane to cam iiis bread by the labor of bis J

A parcel of marauders fr.>m Tcxks
lately passed over into the parish of Cad?do,
lit the Slate of Louisiana, and seizing
upon n citizen of that state, carried hiin
$ cms* the line into Texas and commenced
digging a grave to bury him
alive. The victim, seeing their purpose,
broke loose from them and run off; but
-several of them fired at him and killed
fiiin instantly. They then cut his body
in pieces, and hung it up on the neighbouring
trees, as a warning to all opposers
?)f their lawless authority. The only offence
which it is said tlie deceased cominitted,
was a threat to resist the impositions
of the marauding banditti, who had

The Hon. John W. Crockett, son of
the lute Col. Crockett, has been elected
by the Legislature of Tennessee Attorney
General of that state.
J ______________ __
The Democrats have a majority of 2
in th? Semite of Tennessee, but the
Whigs have a larger majority in the other
house, which would enable them to elect
two Whigs to the U. S. Senate, should
the election he suffered to come on; hut
the Democratic senators have addressed
a circular to those who are supposed to he
candidates for the office, in which nf:er
catechising the candidatesns to their political
creed, they add as follows: "The
undersigned deem it proper to state to you
that they are opposed to permitting an
election to take place for tilting the two
vacant seats in the Senate of the Unidted
States from this slate, until full and rotitifaciory
answersu<c rcccv?td in writing
pgamf!.-j. 1 -.JULtLM? ww
t
from each person who is, or may become
a candidate for cither of the said vacant
scats."
From tills intimation, wo suppose that
it is determined by a f.iction constituting
the majority of the Tennessee Senate to
prevent the election of U. S. Senators
from that State.
We see it also stated that a Whig Senator
was chosen in one of the counties ot
Pennsylvania by a majority of one vote,
which gives the Whigs a majority of one |
in the Senate of that State ; winch, says J
a Whig paper, will enable that body to
exercise a restraining influence upon the !
acts of Democratic majority in the other i
branch of the Legislature.

to he a candidate himself for the Presidency
at the next el ction.

! The North American gives a brief outline
of the testimony of one of the witnesses,
Samuel L. Gouverneur (former
Postmaster of the city of New York,)
which is worth copying :
"With regard to the cash payments to
a large amount alleged to have been made
by the Government to defendant, it was
proved by Mr. Gouverneur that these were
payments of accommodation paper loaned
the Department by defendant?that the
Department had sued for the same
amounts; and that the Postmaster General
had ottered to credit him with the
amounts, if he would inform whom he
should charge them to; he also stated that
the Department could not raise money
on its own notes, and would certainly
have failed had not Mr. Reeside and oihers
extended assistance in this way. The
credit of the Department was bad, and to
any extent. I have a letter from the Department,
stating they would be haunrupt
unless I raised them 840.000 by next
mail. These drafts of Rceside's were ist

were charged on any hooks of the Department.
As to the mode of keeping accounts,
I can state, from mv own knowledge,
it was for the purpose of deceiving
and preventing an investigation by the committees
of Congress, then expected. Gov.
eminent paid two per cent, a month for
tiie use of the money. Under Mr. Barry
they put nothing in the books?under
Mr. Kendall, every thing they could find."

The reader will doubtless be somewhat
amused at the blunder committed by Mr.
Van Burcn, in the following letter, writ,
ten in reply to an invitatiou to attend n
public meeting of his party in the state of
New York. Whilst his letter is ^ little
more than a tissue of flattery to the
44 Democracy" of the country, he at the
same time boasts of having been himself
raised by this democracy to an aristocratic
elevation so far above themselves, that
sheer respect for them and their institutions
torbid.- his descending* so far as to
mingle in their deliberations.

MR. VAN BURKN'S LKTTBR.
Kinder hook, October 4, 1841.
Gentlemen : I have had the honor to
receive your letter inviting me, in be.
half of the Democracy of Ulster county,
to attend the .Mass Convention to
he held at Kingston oil the 7th inst.
You cannot, gentlemen, he more deep.
Iv impressed than I am hv the alarming
tendency of the acts,and designs of the
dominant party, as indicated bv the pro.
( .codings of Congress at the Extra Scssion,
or more alive to the importance of a
general and vigorous rally of the Democracy
in defence of the constitutional
rights and best interests of the People.
No experienced observer can have failed
to perceive in those proceedings unerring
evidence of the revival of the old Federal
spirit, not only unmitigated, but greatly
increased in bitterness by the restraints
under which it has for so long a period
been kept by the good sense and patriotism
of the American People. Passing
by other great enormities, there was no '
* * K.r til/..
filing (lorn: ?u anuiii|Mv;n uj mv &
of '98 which was more hostile to the letter
ntic! spirit of the Federal Constitution,
more destructive of the best principles
of our political system, or capable of excrling
a more deleterious influence upon
it, and hy consequence upon the liberties
i of the People, than the Distribution hill
j of the extra session,
j If, therefore, I had no other considera;
tions to respect other than such as relate
I to my own feelings, I would not fail to be
j iri the midst of you, and assist in proceedi
ings from which so much good may be
I expected. It has, however, appeared to
i me that I should host consult what is due
j as well to the country and its institutions
I as to ihc Democracy of the Union, by
whose favor I was raised to the office of
the Chief Magistrate, when 1 limit my
personal agency in the political conflicts
of the day to the exercise of the rigiit of
suffrage and the unreserved expiessions
of inv opinions upon public questions
when the same are invited by such of my
fellow.citizens as are disposed to respect
them. Having come to this conclusion
upon the most mature consideration of
many similar applications from my politiral
friends, I allow myself to hope that
mv failure to be with the Democracy ol
the River counties on 7th instant will be
regarded with the same kind indulgence
that I have so often and so long received
at their hands, and for which I ain
most grateful.
i I thank you, gentlemen, very sincerely
J for the friendly spirit which distinguishes
1 your communication, and ihc Democracy
{of Ulster for the favorable opinion they
have been pleased to form ot mv putme
i career. The time can never come when
j I can cease to regard with any other senj
tiiii(*111s than those of profound respect
I and lively gratitude encomiums like those
j which you have communicated to me on
I behalf of a portion of my fellow.citizens

The following is Mr. Calhoun's reply
to an invitation to attend the same convention:
Fort Hill, Sept. 29, 1841. |
Gentlemen : The last mail brought mo !
j your kind and flattering invitation of the
j 17th mat. (o attend a Mass Convention
of the Democracy of the counties along ;
: the North River and of Long Island, to I
he held at Kingston on the 7th of next
month.
The great distance and the shortness
of the notice will be, I hope, sufficient
apology for not attending. T am much
gratified with the high estimate you place
on inv services in the great cause ol
American liberty; and nothing, I assure
you, has given me nu?re pleasure, or done
more to strengthen rnv confidence in the
success of our cause than to find, in this j
the hour of its severest trial, so perfect a
harmony among its friends, both as to
principles and measures, over our widespread
and diversified territory. It was.
indeed, cheering to heboid all, in every
section, in this hour of danger, when our
j opponents, flushed with victory in the recent
Presidential struggle, rushed forward j
to raise the fallen standard of Federalism, j
simultaneously rally under the old Republican
State Rights banner of Jf/d.
When I saw that glorious banner waving
over our ranks, and tiie united enthusiasm
along the whole line to uphold it. all apnanhAHCInn

As numerous and bo!J and united as.
were our opponents?as confident as they I
were of carrying all their measures at the 1
late session, I never doubted, if they did |
succeed, but that the period of their vie- '
tory would be short. I could not believe,
when the real issue was made, as it was,!
i between the parties, and the People were ;
called on to decide between Republican-;
ism and Federalism, State Rights and 1
Consolidation, Democracy and artificial;
moneyed aristocracy, engendered and j
fostered by the Government, that they
would long hesitate. Already have they i
proved that my confidence in their intelligence
and patriotism was not misplaced.
The recent elections have shown a mighty
[change in public opinion. That change
will go on, if we but prove ourselves \vorj
thy of our cause by a rigid adherence to j
I our principles and measures, till our oppo-;
nents and their cause shall he completely
overwhelmed by a -swelling tide.
