gress-should he be elected, under no cir
cumstances of necessity, " can his c00pera-
fion'' in the establishment of National
Bank, be erpeeted."
The limits of an ardress do not allow OF
further extracts TO show the opinions of Mr.
Van Buren, on particular points.
From the preceding succinct view of the
great measures Of the Government, with
which he Is closely identified, and which he
will pursue, it will be seen, that By his tai
pies, as well as by the purity of his charac-
ter he is entitled to The confidence and sup
port of the people. Such is the Candidate
Of the Republican party.
We ask then-are the Democratic Re
publlcans prepared To incur the risk and
hazard the danger to the peace and pros
lperity and happiness Of the Country, which
"a revolution in the civil administration OF
the Government may produce!
Let us turn to brief exposition Of the
principles Of his competitors.
The oppositIon, composed of the odds
and ends of all parties, notwithstanding
The discordanoy Of their principles, hare
joined their political fortunes, and formed an
Union" under the title Of the whg party.
This Union embraces n ludcrous confusion.

1. JUDGE WHITE.
lie is the Candidate Of the Multiplying
branch Of the coalition, and has an elector-
al ticket formed in six States, giving 55 votes
only. We adopt the following epitome Of
him, as he is understood in Virginia and in
the South.
"Judgc White was originally brought
forward as Candidate, through the influ-
cree Of a disappointed aspirant for the SPea-
ker's Chair of the House of Representatives
The design of this nomination, as is clear
ly proved by the subsequent course of the
nominators, was, by dividing, to break down
the Republican party, and thus to ennbIe
those who were unworthy of its confidence.
to step into ONCE and patronage upon ITS
ruins.
This design was, however, concealed un-
der n hollow hearted profession of friend
ship for the administration and the princi-
pies by which it has been governed.
For this purpose, Judge White was Sc
lected as the instrument 10 operate upon the
South.
His support of the administration, and
his uniform devotion to the Southern prln-
ciplcs up to the time Of his nomination,
would, it was expected secure him the sup
port, of n large portion of the Southern De-
mocrstic family aud enable him, If nccessa-
ry, to ALLEVIATE their affection for party,
which they could never be scduced to de-
snr .snUar I,o ipf fIipnnn nF n fatal
deusion. To gain that ascendancy over
the minds of the people--to produce rup-
turc in the ranks of the Republican party
was and still is, the object Of the willy poll
,icians who hold him in leading strings.
They pledged themselves that Judge White
pas not brought in opposition to the princi-
pies of the Republican party; and that his
nominotiun pas not intended 10 prejudice its
dseendancy.
I But how have they redeemed their PLEDGE
Becoming satisfied that Judge white could
not succeed, they have abandoned him and
selected another more available" candi-
date. 1t is true, that to keep up deception,
To draw you over to the support of the OPP
ponents of the administration party, they
associatc the name of Judge White with
lthnt oi General Harrison.
1t has been fully demonstrated that JUDGE
WHITE cannot be elected by tho people, (for
he is not run in sufficient number of States
to secure his election,) or by the House of
Representatives, should the duty of choos-
ing n Chief Magistrate, unfortunately de-
lvolve upon that body.-These two facts are
cnndidly acknowledged by some of his lea
/ ding friends in Tennessee, and in other
sections of the Union.
Judge White then is continued candi-
date in certain States, viz. Georgia, North
Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
and Tennessee, not for the purpose of be-
ing elected by the people, but with the view
of Withholding thclvotes of these States from
Mr.. VAN buren,, and thereby to defeat an
, election of President by the people. 1t isl
sectional policy, calculated to excite section
al prejudices, and TO alicnate one portion o.
the Union from the other. How strongl,
does the valedictory advice Of Washington
! rebuke such a course of policy, and appea
To the patriotism of the people TO avert it
, /" Above all things hold dear your nationa
Union. Accustom yourselves to estmat,
: its infinite value to your individual and ma,
s tional happiness, aud Indignantly frown up
on the first dawning of every attempt to al
ienate any portion Of our Country from tn,
I rest, or to enfcebe the sacred ties which nov
link together the various parts"
, That Judge White has forfeited all claim
, to the support of the Republican party
: that he has contradicted the pledges of hi
friends, that his nomination was. intended t.
: divide our ranks can be no longer doubted
He has abandoned the administration o
General Jackson since his nomination, an,
, lent himself to aid and promote the ambit
ious views ofhis former political opponent,
. The following contrast exhibits him in
light, which must DESTROY all confidence il
his integrity.
