Martin Pan Buren,.
GENTLEMEN:
Have you read Mr.
Aikinson'S reply or answer, TO the
questions put TO him through the Free
Press, by writer over The signature
Of jackson TO the hub and over," re.
specting the course he (Atkinson,
would pursue lin case he should sue
ceed in his election TO the Ohio Legis.
lature) in the election of U. 5. Sen
ator, which has 10 be elected by the
Legislature at their next session.
And, if you have, has it satisfied your
Ipresun ne not. Perhaps am too fast,
it may have satisfied you that he is
not to be depended upon by the Van
Burenites. But on the other hand, he
may have satisfied you that the Van
Burenites need not pat any faith in
him or his political course.
1t would seem by the silence OF
jackson to the hub and over" that
Atkinson has over set the hub wheel
and all, or he would have been rolling
10 the last Free Press, slap against Mr..
Atkinson. If Jackson TO the hub and
over las lived in the county two years
and upwards, and has noticed the pas
sing events to this time, l cannot see
what he expected TO gain by putting
bis question to Mr.. Atkinson. Could
he had put any faith in his (Mr. At
kinson's) pledge, if he would have
pledged himself 10 support a Van
Burenite for United States Senator?
If it would have satisfied Jackson to
the hub and over, it would not have
satisfied me, nor, as think any other
Van Burenite that has been in the
county for two years, and known any
thing about Mr.. Atkinson's political
course; certainly, could hardly be,
lieve MIN if he would say, he would
support Van Burenie for the U. S,
Senate. Some may wonder why |
say so; we'll I'll tell you the reasons
that indu ce me to doubt his (Nt. At
kinsoR'S) word in political matterSJ
two years ago, he was sent by The
Jackson boys, as Jackson Delegate,
10 Hanover to nominate a Jackson
cadidale for Congress: at which meet
ing he presided; and the said meeting
nominated Doctor Thomson, as the
Jackson candidate for Congress; and
pledged themselves to support him.
We all know, Mr.. Atkinson did not
that is, all of US that know whom he
did support, knows thai he supported
MIR. Richardson, The Whig candidate,
in opposition to Doctor Thomson the
Jackson candidate. In the Cd place
my reason for doubling his political
sincerity is, find among his warmest
Supporters a goodly number Of the
hoIest Wings of the day. In TACT, ell
the new Wings that are made of the
Jackson deserters, are among his sup.
porters. don't wish to be understood
10 say. there are no real Jackson men
for him, for know there are sonej
but doubt when they take peep al
his course in a political line, and no.
tice his course, and view his suppor-
ters, and see them made up in a great
measure, Of the modern Wings, and
the old Jackson deserters, whether
they will march any longe. in his
ranks!
Now gentlemen I tell you, elect
him TO the Legislature and let him
vote on which side he will, he will
have his come-off, on these grounds;
If he votes for an opposition man, he
will say to the Van Burenites, why
did you support me? might not you
have known from my answer in the
Free Press 10 Jackson 10 the hub and
over, before my election, | had no no.
ton of voting for friend Of Van Bu
ren2 Well on the other hand, if he
votes for Van Burenite he can say
Ito those Wings who supported him,
you knew | was a Jacksonman; why
did you support me!
Now, gentlemen, remember MIR Atkin'
sons warmest supporters are among the
modern wings, of the day. All! boys!
this ooks like as if they expect some
Thing from him. See the call for the Har.
rison meeting, and see il you cannot find
some Of his warmest friends in the list?
