 An able correspondent of the New York Evening Post in referring to the coonish out cry that Mir. Van Buren cannot succeed ii the Presidential contest, in opposition to Henry Clay, after cnquiring into the degree of cred- It for sincerity which should be conceded to them ill this matter, makes the following com mentary upon their conduct in regard to the nomination most likely to be resolved on by the Democratic party. Do the Wings real Y believe that the man who received, at the election of ls10, over one hundred thousand more votes than was ever before given for any presidential candidate, cannot now com- pete With Mr. Clay. Nonsense. They know very we'll tbat fl Mir. Clay had been the an- tagonist candidate against Mr Van Buren ill lS40, he would have been beaten to lint They know that General Harrison and john Tyler were selected Us candidates by the wings for their availability and non-commit- talism on several leading questions policy, on which the whig party did not. at that time dare to make all issue before the people, They also know, that Pennsylvania, Ohio, and several other States, were at that election gained by the whigs, have since returned to the standard of the Democratic party, and are now prepared to give their usual demo- cratic majoritics to the nominee of the Ball'- more Convention.

Why, then, do they constantly repeat, that if Mir Van Buren is nominated he is sure to be beaten2 Do they wish to raise up more formidable an- tagonist against MT. Clay' That would be absurd. The true answer to the question is, that the whig leaders begin to feel the dan- ger and delicacy of their political position.-- To get another draiia5ie candidate, like Gen. eral Harrison. is impossible Mir. Clay must now stand the hazard of the die. The only hope that remains to them is, to mingle in the squabbles respecting men in the democratic party-to patronize cliques. and establish presses for the miechevous and disailected; to aid all such efforts. with he legitimate strength of the whole whg press, in the fu- tile attempt to prevent, if possible, by slan- der, calumny or otherwise, the nomination of the only man who can combine the whole strength of the democratic party throughout l the country o-peunsufrauian
