a.,,rsc the stream had borne him safely to the

.,,.d ,i,at he could control and turn it whthcrso-
ever he would. Because the pcpe OF Tennessee
had supported him with a zeal and nnanIm''y that
has few parallels in the history of political strug
.les. he presump,uously arrogated TO himself the
r;cb, Of debating to them whom they should sup
NOR, as his successor! The promptncss, spit,
and unanim,y with which they have rcpclcdt this
arrogance, are crcdi,abc alike TO the intelligence,
INDEPENDENCE and patriotism OF that people, and
will be hereafter referred to, both as memorial
and an example.
II will be seen, that Judge While states, in the
mos, positive terms, that his name ~ will not be
Withdrawn" from The Presidential contcst--so that
al idea of concentration of the opponents ofMr.
Van Buren, upon any ono individual, is, far as
he i, concerned, at an end. Indeed, We have long"
regarded it as utterly imprac,icablc. Under these
circumstances, it bchoovcs the Wing party, and
tina, portion of the old Jackson party which intend
to cooperate with them, in opposition to Van
Buren,, however they may differ in their prcicrcn-
ccs in different sections of the Union, to be united
in each Statc-to frame Electoral tickets, with
out special reference to this man or that, SO that
the entire strength of the opposition may be
concentrated upon it, and with the understand
ins, that, wherever the opposition Ticket shall
succeed, the vote Of the College of Electors shall
be given to that candidate who shall be the choice
of majority of the Wing voters-which may be
ascertained by each voters writing on his ticket the
name of the .ndidatc, white, Harrison, or Web
,ter,) whom he may prefer. We see objection
to this scheme, particularly as those who are op-
posed to the election Of Nj. Van Buren, would pre-
fer either Of these gencmcn-and still less when
We recolect, that, but for the intervention of the
Electoral Colleges, ian useless and cumbersome
piece Of machinery such would be the natural
and obvious mode of proceeding. BY this means,
il an election by tho people do not take place, il
will be demonstrated clearly that Van Buren, is
no'thc choice OF a majority of the people-and the
voice of that majority, though concentrated upon
no particular individual, as indeed under the cir
euns,ances, it cannot be, as first choice will be-
developed in the selection which it. will then de-
vove on the House Of Representatives to make
from among the three highest candidates.
