There arc .fre hundred Associations of Abolitionists III the United States. What IS their object! They do not ask Congress to abolish slavery in the States--because they know it would be akin to idiocy--but they ask it's abolition ih the District of Columbia. Martin Van Buren is of opinion that Con- gress has the power to abolish 1t there. What more do they ask! Is not he the Abo
 lition candidatel What is the District of Columbia. It is kind of municipality and is governed by Congress-as other rnu- nicipa1ities are governed by mayor and al- dermen. The functions of Congress as re- gards the government of tho District are dis tinct from their functions as the Government of the United States. As the municipality of the District are they bound to receive pe- titions for the abolition of slavery there! Is the Legislature of Tennessee bound to receive petitions from Vermont, asking the abolition of slavery in Tennessee! If Congress can1 abolish slavery in the District, she can do isk in the Territories, for they stand on the san}eI ground. Van Buren did vote for abolishing it in Missouri, and restricting it in Florida. The District is the battle gronnd. Grant the principle that Van Buren allows--abolshH slavery in the District-and next followsE Florida. Look at the facts. Slavery has, existed in no State n New England for near j ly a century. In New York it was abolished only ten years ago. We recollect it's aboli- ton there. Yet the Abolitionists and Anti slavery Societies in New York exceed the whole number in the five New England States and Pennsylvania. When coulraeIl- ced this great outpouring of zeals At the very time when Van Buren became candi- date for the Presidency. Look to it! You are in danger!

THE TOWN OF " .H .T ESUsR EN


 5 situated Tn Crawford county. on the left A b nk of the Arkansas river, about five hundred and fifty miles from the Mississip- pi, by the course of the river, and few miles below the Indian boundary line. The irn- medafe sitnat ion is ctn sd ;,.es s: E to the eye, easily approaehable by the roaes; unusually elevated for q position on the mar gin of the river--indeed, U portion of the townsite is a high and commanding eminence with an abundant and never-failing supply of the most palatable and the purest Water. Steam boat navigation to this point, and for some distance above, is as safe and as sure as our river affords; its extension to any great distance above is precarious, uncertain and not to be relied on.
 Van Buren has more extensive regions of back country so support t, beyond all shadow of competition, than any other point or place on this river, or in the Territory, known to the writer. The contiguous settlements of Lees creek and Frog Bayou have here their trade. The large, popnlons and agricultural county of Washington, in this Territory, must resort to Van Buren as the point of em- barkation for her produce, and must seek her supply of essential articles from the same quarter with equal truth, and with equal po- sitiveness, may the same remarks be made southwestern Missouri. so rapidly advance ing in numbers, in means and in wants. To add another wcighty item in the list of ad- vantages, the projected United States road, now in train of execution, from Jackson, in Lawrence county, by the county seat of Izard and Washington, crosses the Arkansas river at Van Buren.
 The proprietor invites the merchant, tho mechanic, the capitalist generally, and all persons of enterprise and energy of charac- ter, to make investments in this town, con- sciou. that they will meet with an early and adequate reqnltal for amount advanced or ex- ertion applied.
 The undersigned, being the sole proprietor of this town--the contract heretofore exist ing between him and the late Gen. Wm. Montgomery having been rescinded, and all disputes as to title from that and all other quarters fully adjusted and annulled--is now ready to dispose of lots, and give indisputa- ble titles.
 Gentlemen wishing to invest money, or to locate in thriving new town, wfll do we'll to examine the superior natural advantages and plats of Van Buren, where lots are offer ed, at private sale, on very moderate terms, and on accommodating credits--ard reduc- .io 1 I made U, s,sv ..,s.s ing immediate improvements on their purchases

A correspondent of the New York Ga. zette states that there are upwards of one thousand "bag' men and women who daily perambulate the streets of that city, for the purposes of stealing any thing which comes m their way. He says.-
 Many of them carry hammers, chisels, pincliers, and other tools, to detach metals from buildings ,---oihefs carry knives, spoons, and bags, with he aid of which they abstract from 20 to 20 lbs, of coffee, sugar and spices from the merchandise daily ex- posed for sale al the different auctions in ihe city :--another class employ themselves under the direction of old burglars, in steal ing keys ifom the street doors, preparatory 10 more extensive robberies. Most of these robbers are ioreigners-or originally all were foreigners. 4 great many native boys and girls have taken up the trade within the last year"
