Intelligent man in the Union see, know,
and feel, that this is the factf But to
make the case still more sure in favor
of Van Buren,, Judge White has been
conjured into candidate for the spe-
cial benefit Of this Calhoumism. Can
any man Of common sense suppose
that Mr.. Van Buren, will lose the vote
of any State, because Judge White is
candidate, either in the East, or the
Wes,f The great object of Mr.. Van
Buren, is to throw Mr.. Clay out of the
contest, he being the only man really
feared, and to keep him from the head
of that minority which he knows, un.
der any circumstances, will be formida.
BILE to him; but much more SO, if Mr..
Clay is its leader. Judge White can
never be acknowledged as the leader
of the National Republicans :---tbey
will never compromise their principles
for the purpose Of electing him to the
Presidency /; g. the Wing is greatly in
error, when it supposes that the jack
sonites did not at the recent elections
fight under the banner Of Van Buren,;
but is much nearer the truth, when it
states that the Wings had "no leader

With the Wing, Leigh was a short

be White, and who will it be nextl !

attempt TO do it, until he thought he
had got glimpse Of the Presidential
chair, looking through the mists of
certain southern prejudicesl The
Wing too seems to have fallen into a.
mother error-stil worse than the first,
in supposing that the opposition to
Yam Burenism, voted with view to
the election Of Judge White. The
grea, mass on both sides, thought, nor
cared no more about Judge White,
than did Martin Van Buren, himself, or
Mr.. Richie. The vote shows the force
ofthe opposition to Van Buren-but
tells little for White.
Now why do Southern Editors con-
tinue to excite hostile feeling towards
our Eastern brethren as to the emanci-
patton Of slaves-suppose an insurrec-

think OF dissolution of this Union, is
to think criminally. The Editors of
the Wing may imagine as they please !;
but they cannot help seeing that the
realities in relation to White and the
Presidency are widely spread before
them in every state Of the Union. The
Democratic party, as it is called, will
cast him off-and the National Repub-
Leans will not take him as their lead

leaders and these lenders are known
