England = visit. SO our Democraic friends eommene.
d tho holy work Of tho organization Of the good old
Party upon whose principles the great Republic Of the
world mas been founded. We hope, therefore, every
good Republican will support tho Republican standard
which al tho people OF the old world have raised to
mrow OIL the yoke OF superstition aud tyranny. Or
would You bow your neck to a faction whose only aim

lnqoisitory tribunal, to dissolve our delightful In.,itu-

Piness! We think not. Our Republic is Tho pattern
at this time after which all our fellow men on the other
side OF the Atlantic take their course. Let ~. for this
reason strengthen our at achmrn, to the dag OF ID mo.

We next week shall lay the proceeding of this yreal
Democratic Convention before our readers.
The u. S. Telegraph affects " sincerely to believe
That Mr.. Van Buren, did contemplate an arrangement
by which, under General Jackson's reelection, he was
10 retire to the Hermitage, and leave the magician in

heve any such ing for a moment. The editor of the
telegraph, though he was willing to palm of the fc-
ton upon his own readers, well knew that nothing of
the kind was ever '~'contemplated' by General Jackson
or MIR. Van Buren,. Under the circumstances, we do
not hesitate to question the Sincerity OF his belief.
The Telegraph processes to be friendly to General
) Jackson, and yet it endeavors TO persuade The public
That he was prepared TO enter into " arrangements' so
derogatory to his character and so unlike the high tone
OF principle and direct assumption of responsibility
which characterize. his whole lie. That recreant iour-
nal profess d, also, on a single occasion, a willingness
TO do justice 10 MIR. Van Buren; but even its professions
IN this respect have fallen into disuse, and the fiuest
commentary upon the ~propriety Of their discontinuance
Is the TACT, that 1t affects sincerely to believe what il
never believed for a moment. Tdibanu Argus.
