personally; really, there is no terror in his
looks; he has comfortable accommodation
lives like a gentleman,-scorns to keep com
pany with even portion Of his present fol-
lowers ut Tammany-giyes good wIne--dres-
ses well-a little Of the fncy-mincy about
him, but really in the main tolcrable amla-
BILE fellow. II is with his political course
that uuarrcl--a course dark, deceptive, and
aangerous-a course fatal to the freedom OF
opinion and the liberties OF his country. The
Courier g. Enquirer says that Mr. Van Buren,
has originated and perpetuated some OF the
violent measures which have dlsgraced the
administration. Not at all; | know some
thing about the Kitchen Cabinet-l have
been near the Kitchen when they were roast
ing a goose, and have had a sop in the pan.
The language used there is not the most GER
emonious or complimentary. When one OF
the political sculions, in digesting measure,
has asked, allow would Mr.. Van Buren, be
likely to 90 on this point!' the answer has
been invariably, "he be -; he has to 90
as we please; he has 20 follow us, or we will
trip up his heels with the old man." And SO
indeed has been the fact; Mr.. Van Buren, Is
more censurabe, more inexcusdble IN the
eyes of the nation for having been the pas
sive follower Of these rascols, than if he had
originated all those vile measures which have
in reality disgraced the administration. lie
knew that the course Of Gen. Jackson was Vi ,
friends; that it was destructive 10 the laws
and constitution; the happiness, prosperity
nay, even the liberties Of the country and
yet he supported them oil, because he want
ed 70 be his successor, and knew that without
the support Of General Jackson and the Kitch-
sn Cabinet, he could not succeed. Van Bu-
rem did not ourglariously break down the sa-
cred portals of the Constitution, but he was
particeps criminis, and assisted to carry off
he spols. The opposition to Martin Van
Duren is for political cause, not from personal
II will. He has endeavored 20 hdmstring the
people Of the United States-he has placed
n every State political staff Of placemen
md pensioners, TO overawe public opinion 4
he looks to the present incumbent, and not to
he freemen Of the country, for his success
le has aided and abetted in every violation Of
ne law and the Constitution which The pre-
;ent administration have had the boldness to I
lps concurred in the derangc-
nent Of the national currency, and made the
will Of the Executive the paramount law Of
be land-he has encompassed the people OF
his State with chain Of political banks, by
which they are held captye--he has permit
ed no man to be elected to Congress or the
legislature, who will not be subservient to
is views, and obedient to his wishes-he has
tempted, and is now attempting to destroy
he independence Of the Senate Of the Uni
ed States, by interfering in State elections,
nd endeavorIng to vacate the seats Of Sen
tors who refuse TO follow at his command ;
nd submit to his dctation;-he substitutes,
every case, the organization and usages Of [
arty, in order to destroy freedom Of opinion,
nd is now organizing body Of partizans to
leet in convention at Baltimore to nominate !,

ention 10 supcrscde Tie necessity ofMe ballot !,

y to submit, without murmur, to his man o
cement and intrigue. II this is true, can @
~ friend Webb, Of the Courier 81 Enquirer, q
refer Mr.. Van Buren to Judge White? No I
ian but Andrew Jackson can carry out the !
ans and measures Of Andrew Jackson. No :
an but Martin Van Buren can carry into eff v v
ct the intrigues and selfish plans Of Van !
uren, and feel that | occupy n safe ground, !
e ground Of principle and patriotism in say h
& any man but Van Buren; and l say it O
ore ain sorrow than in anger" !,
So far from believing that the ultimate sup =,
'rt Of Judge White would, as the Courier 7
ys, "scatter the whig party to the four =
lnds Of Heaven" | look at this division in s.
e Jackson ranks, as favorable omen for q
c country: and though not yet fully devel- C
ed, and by no means calling for the inter- o
renee or committal of the whig party, still, j,
we cannot unite on a man. ] should be pre- q,
red to think Of Judge White os Richie
ought of General Jackson, that he could be "
~ alternative, not my choice. ."--[N. York :,
