! Mos.rs Nelson, Martin and Mason, are also On
the Jscksun and Van Buren, Ticket.
| The ticket is strong one, and had it hcen put
before the People three months earlier, and n tythe
of the oxertiun made for it, which has been made
for its Jackson rival, would undoubtedly have sue
coc6ed. AS it is, it W i'll receive a strong vote in
various paris of the State. The People are very
indifferent to Van Buren,. He is no favorite in
Virginia His support is from party considerations
entirely, with which prediction for the man, re-
spect for his character and services or confidence
in his principles, has very little 10 do. Those who
determined bestow upon him the vote of Va, are
the men who Fave long pulled the wires among us,
and through the fundamentally of the ENQUIRER
pleased. AT first, there two or three only
Gradually the Legislature was brought under the
screws. Finally the People have been persuaded,
that it is necessary to vote for Mr.. Van Buren TO
keep tbs Republican party united, although his no.
minnton is obviously The cause Of that fatal split
| among the Jacksanians, which is as complete as
hopeless oil recovery. Judge Barbour has not re"
csived from his friends. that nourshnent and su q
port at the bar of public opinion, which he might
have expected, after their placing him as n eand
date before the People stray essay in his favor
now and then, has found a niche in the Enuuirer
with that exception, and the exception of the JEFF
ftrsonian d Times, whose Editor has been detain-
est by Ill health in the upper country the Judge has
recsived no aid from tho press. Every argument
against the policy Of his nomination., has been vi
gorously pressed and reiterated, and these have
been permitted TO sink into the public mind, with
cut reply rciutation, though surely, have ne
YER seen more lal!acious reasons offered in grave
case. AH the Jackson prints except TIE Times
have followed the Of the Enquirer, and the
wishes of President Jackson nd Philip p. Barbour,
short year snee the Idol of Estate Rights has born
able TO find in the whole phalamx of jackson Re
publican Editors, not one, willing to sustain his'
professions against Van Buren, notoroualy opposed
TO the very principles which MI. b rhour and these
Editors clamorOusiy support So much for prinei-
pie.
Take sample of the reasoning by v icb Mr..
Van Buren, is supported over MIR. Barbour Tho
Charlottesville Advocate os:Friday supplies it:
'Iut perhaps Barbour will say, "why
not drop the Legislative ticket and unite upon the
Barbour ticket? will you not thus avoid the danger
you dread?" Our answer is plain one II is
useless to vote for Judge Barbour; the vote of Va
can do him no good. He cannot will not be elect.
cd. Ii is dangerous TO vote for Judge Barbour
No pretcDds that there even possibility of his
election by the people. TO carry tho election of
Vice President into the Senate, 10 his only chance
the only hope of his friends. The danger then of
voting for Judge Barbour is two fold. In the first
place, should he get votes enough to carry him to
the Senate that body would not elect him The
Tariff men constitute decided ma ority of the
Senate. Would they elect Barbour in preference TO
Scrgean2 The latter being Tariff man, and the
former more radically opposed to the measure than
my man in tho Unioni IL is impossible Scr |
geant then would be Vice PRESIDENT: for there
is no doubt, that if the election is carried to the
Senate, he will be one Of the returned candidates
All admit this. Another consideration renders his
election by the Senate certain. Sergeant ia
tho candidate of tho oPpostion and tho opposition
have n majority in the Senate. Will the majority
OF that body abandon their candidate, and |
vctsfor B1rbOur7 Never. It s idle to suppose il |
"Bdt secondly Judge Barbour cannot 10 returned
to the Senate. Give him The entire vote of every
state in which ticket has been formed for him, |
ana Hl he eannot get there. II is just certain,
as any thing in hgmenrufFlrs can be, that if the |
election is carried to the Senate Sergeant and Van
Bircn, will be the returned candidates. In this e. |
v7nt,thc election of Sergeant is put beyond all |
doubt What then will be the effect Of voting for /
the Barbour ticket. We have seen that Barbour |
cannot be elected by the peoples ne cannot got to
The Senate, and Rthere, his chance is utterly hope
less. The effect then upon the Vice Presidential
question, OF voting for hfSt0het, WILDE prevent
a" election OF Vice President by tho people, and to
ensure the election Of Sergeant by the Senate !
Inc question jhbn is between Van Burcn and Ser
geant, not Van Buren, and Barbour or Sergeant |
ana Barbour. bthe people Of Virginia prefer Ser
goent to Van B0ren, let them vote for the Clay |
uGket' or Tor the Barbour ticket; it matters not
winch The support Of eitber will have a tonden
y 10 oring about the came result tho election off
sergeant On the other hand, if they really wish
70 secure the reelection Of Jackson, as President
ana inc election of some able and efficient rep,lliJ
can, friendly TO his administration as Vice Presid
'en'' let them vote for the Legislative Ticket
Inc generality of newspaper readers, do not
"oigh very critically, or onalyze very cautiously,
what 'h'y read; and such argument as this ad.
dressed 10 party men, is apt to bc swallowed with
out examination. 1t contains the ,oboIc Van Buren,
argument. They ube Van Burenitosl all lore Bar
