From the National Intelligencer, May 1.

By paragraphs furnished by the papers, we are informed that the President of the United States is expected to arrive in New York early in June, on his way to Boston—that Boston is to be honored, in the course of the Summer, with a visit from Mr. Clay as well as Gen. Jackson, and that Mr. Webster, the great New-Englander, is expected to make a tour to the West. This is all right. Our leading men ought to visit different parts of their own country, and judge for themselves of its character and capacities. It is not for such men to bound their vision or their action to the limits of their particular States.—They were made for the whole Union, and they ought to study the interests of the whole Union. They ought to be, and will be, made welcome every where they go.

From the Pennsylvanian, we learn something of the movements of another of our leading men. The Vice President of the U. States, (we are informed by that journal) who departed for New York on Saturday last, at 10 o'clock, will remain in that city till the President shall reach it in June, on his tour to New England. The President will there be joined by the Vice President, and then, says the Pennsylvanian, "both will proceed in company together, through Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and thence to western New York. On reaching western Pennsylvania, the Vice President will most likely separate from the President and continue his journey down the Mississippi, a section of the country which he has never yet visited. The President will return to Washington about the close of the summer." If this programme of the Vice Presidential movements for the present season be accurate, (and we do not doubt the authority for it) Mr. Van Buren will be close upon the heels of Mr. Webster. Perhaps, indeed, that may be his purpose. We shall see.

The Pennsylvanian takes occasion to congratulate its readers at what it appears to consider the felicitous conjunction of the two first officers of the government on this occasion. What appears to us very natural—that is, the good understanding between the President in fact and the President in reversion—the good-natured Philadelphia Editor considers the "most remarkable feature" in this joint excursion. We consider it not only natural but necessary. "Heretofore," says our Philadelphia friend, "these high officers (the President and Vice President of the United States) have had contrary views, and different purposes." "But now," he adds, "we find perfect unity of action and identity of purpose—the public good—between the principal Executive officers of the government." The public good! Good! we say. But if the Editor referred to had put a final s to the word, they landed in England, understanding little of the language, but wishing to be gracious to the multitude which thronged around the royal carriage, in its progress through the streets of London, said to them, in his (or her) German accent, "My goot people, we po cons for your goots!" "Yes," rejoined one of the crowd, "and I believe for our chattels, too." The President, we may do him the justice to presume, possessing power, looks no further—as for the Vice President, it is neither disrespectful to him nor to the school of which he is avowedly the head, to suggest, that if he thinks of the people's good, he is not wholly unmindful also of the people's goods—its spoils, which, according to the maxim of his party in New York, belong to the Conqueror, and which he hopes by the grace of God and General Jackson's countenance, to conquer for himself.
