GEN DUFF GREEN.

N.
This celebrated Editor will and ought to be rank
ed among the first patriots of this or any other
country.-Ihc late sacrifices he has made to prin
cciPies, when he might have been almost any thing
ne chose under the jackson dynasty, proves at once
his honesty and Independence. He contributed
more than any man to elevate Cen Jackson
and stuck to him through good and through evi, re-
port until he actually saw that he was doing every
thing he could to destroy the institutions of his
country, when he nobly abandoned him and his
cause. lie also saw that while the President was
lavishing his favors certain individuals he was
treating others with the NEST odious iniustice-ap,
under these hateful circumstances he could no long
or support man so unworthy of the station he &C
cupIed Gen. Green has it as much in his
power to siIil jackson he once had TO raise him,
and II IS his determined purpose to contribute all
Inc can by way of dong so-hc knows the purnose
is patriotic one, and Inc fearlessly and ngunc!y
engages in it.
The acquisition of the Editor of the TelcgranI, ,o
those that arc resolved to PROSTATE Jacksonisn i
immense and incalculablc I never saw him until
few months ago; l was much prcjudccd against
him. and dsllkcd him very much imdced--but since
nave become personally acquainted with him. | cs
TEEN linn and admire him as much for his In cuts nc
Tor his Independence. Having entertained from va
rInus causes, most unfavorahlc opinion of him
found myself, upon acquaintance with him
deceived i'll every point of view. In his CONVERSE
ton, found him Interesting and eloouont-Ein Lis
manners free, friendly and ACCOMPLISHED; and in
ms personal appearance, remarkably striking and
handsome.
lie Us unquestionably of great intellectual
superiority; and having assiduousIy cultivated the
pretty talents with which nature has so literally en-
lowed him, he is also man of general jntcllioencc
In the ranks OF the Opposition, Con. Green is de
stined TO act most important and distinguished
pa!t; and If all those opposed jackson willunc
with INN in the way that he proposes he enterLains
no doubt they will defeat his re- election Hc save
rAet every man do his duty, and all ,oU be safe."
The great sacrifices he has made of feeling and of
money, III refusing to go with the multitude to do
evil, ought to be duly appreciated by every intclli
gent ana vlr'uous citizen. have no doubt he
rs an honest man, and pure and lofty patriot He

The present organs of the national adm;nistra.
ton are tho Washington Globe, the Richmond En-
quirer, and the Albany Argus. The editor of tho
first some time since denounced Gen. jackson as
tyrant;" the editor of the second predicted that
his elevation to the Presidency would prove a
curse to the country and the editor OF the third
abused him In the most violent terms, as one bent
upon the destruction of The Republican party Yet
these are the mcrcenary apostatcs who have the
insoIence to assail the independent presses of tie
country, for prcerrins principles to men!

A PROFESSIONALS RITCuIE g.
VAN BUREN,

VAN BUREN.
Will the Editor of the Enquirer republish Mr..
Van Buren's Tariff Speech at Albany, in 1923
that we mean, which is face,iously called his sheep
speech? Will he do so, and suffer his readers
to learn Mr.. Van Burens principles from his
lips, instead of through the softening and qualify
ing representations of himself and his correspond
ents, Critic and Tell?
If many other such exhibitions had not been
made by the same indivdual-1if they had not been
repeated, until public perception has lost the pow
err of discrimination, the neral sense of the
Virginia community become too obtuse to appre-
ciate iergiversation-t would be considered evil
dence of excessive impudencc, or deplorable
weakness, that should be found hardy and
shameless enough to advocate in the person of one
public man, the same principles which he profess
es to execrate, in another. BY his whole course
whist member of the Senatc-cspecialy by his
agency on the Tariff of 1S2S-by his speech at
Albany when members were sent to the HARRISBURG
Conveniently any and by every test drawn from
his public life, Mr.. Van Buren, is as certainly, as
nndeniaby and fully, an advocate of protection,
as Henry Clay, any other man! He has given
rs decided and as numerous votes, under the obi.
CATION of Senator of the u Stnies for ,bc nr;,

tuents that he and must be for protection in

must be the character of that prohigacy, which in
the lace of this explicit and consummate testimo-
ny, pcrscvcres iii acrimonious denunciation of Mr..
clay as friend OF protection, and support of Van
Buren, for any thing it may be his pleasure to ask?
Are we harsh unjust, in denominating it profit
gocy? What mildcr term will convey an adequate
idea of the enormity of the transgresson? If any
man Will tell u.s. we have objection to substtu
ting it,
The attitude in which this man has placed the
State of Virginia by his personal devotion to Van
Buren,, is most humi!iating to her former erect
and unbending position He has fairly led her to
wallow by his side in the mire of inconsistency;
to JOIN with him in the denunciation of Mr. Claws
Tariff principles, and to sustain the same princi
pies in the person of Mr. Van Buren, We see the
development OF the consequences of Mr.. Van Blu
