my" is maxim which applies With pc
culiar force to the present contest, which
is literally a struggle between the pco-
pie and arbitrary power; or in other
words between Wing and Tory. We,
therefore, in accordance with our max
i'm, publish the following article fl ON the
St. James Chronicle, high Tory paper
published in London. BY this extract
our iellow-citizens will see, that the En-
glish Tories claim Van Buren rs one of
their own men, ",cho ,riH bring the Dem
ocrais round 10 a rational system Of Mo-
narchical Obedience." This has been the
opinion which has long obtained in
England. Our countryman BENZ. West,
the great painter, told the writer Of this
article many years ago, that the English
nobility with whom he assoc lated, were
continually telling him, tina, they would
find some man in the United States, who
would by his pop,la-.y, gradually lead
The people "o a rational system Of mo-
narchical obedience"-but said Mr.. W.
I tell them never never " From the
annexed article, however, it would seem
they calculate now to have found this
man in Martin Van Buren, Little did
the writer who penned such sentiment
know the American character, English
men calculate from what they see in the
abuses that subsist in our Post Office
Department, in the language that has
been so generally introduced into our
public documents, in Veto Messages-
Protests, SC. but they know nothing Of
: the effect these things have produced in
Virginia, in Illinois, Indiana, Maryland,
Kentucky, &C. but above all are they
wholly ignorant Of the state of public
$ feeling in the State of New-York. No
: vember next will throw some new light
on the subject, and then the Tories at
ST. james, and the editors OF the St.
James Chronicle, will find out that what
ever Mr.. Van Buren, may hare learned
in that country, NEITHER HE, NOR
, ANY OTHER MAN WILL BRING
THE DEMOCRATS ROUND 10 A
