GAME. It 'Was the 'proclaimed axiom of Mr. Van Buren, before - he feached the goal - Of his ambition, the Presidential Chair,, that a public man who could . not. carry his Own State with him, ought to retire. Last year; when New 'York went against Mr. Van Buren mid ids •theNtires, it was pretended that the test was not conclusive, inasariffeh as , theie -was po. general election. A su& den panic, it was said, had frighted the State from its propriet, the effects of which "the sober aelcond thojights of the people" would remedy. This' ." sober • second thOughts" 'have been expressed, • ant,l_di reedy. too, in reference to the cardinal mea sures and policy of the President, and these are unreservedly condemned. What'tben?

His appeal is now directly to- the South, and against New York and the North.
