NEW-YORK, June 13.
One or two of Mr Clinton's writers are continually telling the public that the old gentleman is extremely popular; and yet you can find him spoken of no where but in three or four newspapers. No meetings of the people have yet proclaimed him. Saving and excepting the little caucus with Mr Randolph in its rear, there has not been a solitary address from any body of men in favour of Mr Clinton: And that bullition of malice only squinted at him; for Randolph would rather have Monroe than Clinton.
