Van Boren’s notion loo. And bis notion
is mo ill'll there ought to be n convention
to nominate a President, jest like drat one a
spell ago iu Baltimore. Ono man is enuf
lor each State, ony get the right one, nnii
then vote by in ijority jest as George Crea
mer did when lie gave six and dirty vole*
for old Pennsylvania. It wont du to wail
too long—its ony liiee years more afore we
shall want another President anil we ough'
to spring to it now jest as the Giuerai says
about the Bank—'huts got ony throe years
more to lun, and lie is afraid it cant wind
up as safety bv that bars nx it can uow
•md so lie’s goin io give it a twist on 1st Oc
tober—and »•' mean tq follow it up till w«
nock it all to bits unless Biddle resigns, and
if lie docs, ihe Gi.ieralsays lie’ll make me
President of tha Bulk, and givoit a mw
charier, and then we’ll gir all our folks m
and m ike tilings go better there.
There is no use in Congress or any body
else to try and cornet the Gineral— -he has
thrashed double th -ir number afore this,
and if they do try to drive him in a Corner
it will turn out jest like a skunkin frolic,
the fornii.xt dog will get the worst ou’t.

there is reason to anticipate the rcsiertaiion
of Mr. Secretary M’Lino aud Mr. Secreta
ry Cnss iu cnuseqnoncc of the determina
tion of the President to net iu concmpt of
the hw iu relation to the deposites—and
the compelled resinnlion nf Mr. Duane.
Mr. Amos Kendall will not probably be
sorrv fur ibis result, as it will strengthen the
h inds of the Kitchen Cabinet, if not place
I6ancall himself in one of the buieaus us
