TnE LETTER OF Nix. Vas DuEES.-We give below
Mr. Van buren, reply to call made upon him by gen
tleman OF Augusta, {Gcurga) for expression of his
sentiments in relation TO the abolition rxcitcnlent-an
excitement which has been inGusriously gcd
By the bad among his political enemies. and by all the
enemies OF the Union, to ensbody the South party
against the Nni ern Democracy and particularly against
Mr. V. Buren, the Democratic Candidate for the Pre-
sdency This letter is bu. renewal Of the declaration
OF lr. V. b. against the movements Of the abolition par
ty, heretofore publicly announced in his letter to Mr..
Gw!n Of Mississippi, in July, 1884, through another

10 tie columns of the Richmond Enquirer anlcrior We
believe, To the letter of MIR. Gwin and subsequently,
through letter Of the Attorney General of the United
States, (Alr. Bucr,l to Mr.. Garland Of Mecklcnburg,
Virginia. We are glad however, that Mr. Van Buren,
has gone bryond declarations when the crisis required,
and has not hcslted to intcpuse wlateer weight be-
longs to the high official station he holds or the position
he occupies at present before The country, defeat the
Vaccinations Of the AbolitiNnss. This il appears he
has done in the n's e'cual way and yet in the modest
ana unobtrusye manner for which he is distinguished.
He advised and encouraged the call of that meeting
Albany i'll which The prncp pal State Officers. Executive
and Judicial, incudn. the Governor of the Stale, the
most prominent and able of his political friends:
associated with s most distinguished aopponrns,
in the great duty of crushing in embryo the Abolition
crusade preached against the South In promoting this
decided in behalf Of the rights Of Tie South
in Plrdgng himself, he has done in thin letter, to
maintain the principles involved in it-and moreover,
making it the common cause Of the most eminent of
those who oppose him. well those who support him.
Mr. Van Euren shows that he considers it question Of
deeper import thanon Of administrative policy

icderacy, and the issues of peace OF war.
We append TO MIR. Van Bufen's letter, the proceed

The Northampton Courier one of MIR. Wcbser's pa.
pers, deals roughly with Gen Harrison. He says
"so:ne phig Journa!s are making great fuss about
Gen. Harrison, the "iiero Of iITfecaao-" They want
to have him, instead Of Danei Hebs.cr, the Wing
ditate tnr the Presidency Now if these journals haze
any regard for principles fig about the stability
Of the Wing party they had better stop this NONSENSE
Gen Harrison is brave and heroic soldier lie
has as strong claims upon sympathirs in this re-
spect as Gem Jackson has, and lie possesses
exactly those qualifications which the Wings have uni
tormly rcpudiaad: as uniting Chief Magistrate, who
las not the intellectual acquisitions needed by asp
rant for that high office. lie is merely "military chief
ta!n-notlinS more. Now to talk Of substituting such
a man, such a mere drvclcr, for Daniel Webster, is
all insane folly and consumlnate stupidity If Mr..
Webster cannot unite the Wing votes nobody can. So
we may as well give up the struggle, and lie down in
own deep gnonliny all the while be wran9ling aaut
new iarorc candidates No wonder The Jackson Jour
nails aunt at No wonder they talk about pusila-
nimiy, when tlry sec such iustrous name as HeL-
scr obliterated from Wing Journals and Harrison snbt
tuted This sort Of chicanery, and double dcung, and
cachey to friends and betrayal Of their bcsl in.c
rests Is enough to produce utter disgust with every
thing SavUring of politics.
The editor speaks The sentiments of the New England
Federalsn and speaks them toidly. A few of the pa
pers in this State, among which would mention the
N"rwak Gazette, take the Other Wing
journals playing at the game Of Hide and 90 seek
such as the Review, Palladium and others. They will
all ultimately 60 together and sustain the nomination of
the Boston A!istocracy. When these pa pers have done
Stalking we shall give notice.-Haryord PatriOt
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
No man ever understood Federalism better than John
@ Adams. His letter the Hon. Duee J. Pearce is one
tho'e honest freaks to which have heretofore said
Mr.. Adams is occasionally subject, and in which he
breaks boldly from federal tramnes. In early life, Mr.
A. became disguised with the shocking conspiracy of
the Federal party, which tended to surrender our ins
tuons to foreign influence, and which the plotters
were TO represent as vicegerents. Mr. Adams unmask
cd their schemes to Mr. Jefferson So, during the last
winter those who would have betrayed The cause the
country in the French controversy for party purposes
were alter some hesitation OH the part of Mr. Adams final

Adams party zeal giving way, and almost nvoluntar
~ hT76ng from the moral turptude of his political
socrates lie tells Mr. Pearce that although she differ
