The following is the emphatic Preamble to the Reso
lutions of the citizens of Overton county:
1--WE must all view with deep regret division that
does exist amongst the Republicans these United States
which division is partially proven by some late no.

DENTAL election viewing as we do, the union. of the
republican party as the surest by which secure

sent political efforts that making divide the Re
publican ranks 1t is probably within the recollection
ofall present. that the OF union in the Republican
ranks placed John q Adams in the Presidential Chair
against the known will Of large majority of the nation
This is evil with which again threatened and
we must be united In order TO prevent the like

United States, three candidates. perhaps four for the
presidency: the Hon Judge White OF Tenn Mr. Blu

their claims with great zeal before the American ope
Mr. Webster appears TO think that the election must 90

which will give him equal chance of success with
any other candidate The friends Judge White insist
that neither MIR. Webster any other Opposition can
dictate will be rum and the contest will be between judge
White and MIR. Van Buren, alone. In behalf of MIR
Van Buren, urged that the great body of the Repub
hcans are IN favor OF his election and that he should

of Tennessee who would wish election OF our
Chief Magistrate go into the House of Congress? In
that event, Rhode Island, with her small population
would be equal to one of the greatest Suites in the
Union. We venerute the name of our ieow.citizen
Hugh L. White, yet circumstances convince that he
was nominated by designing men, for the purpose of
Ting into power and dividing the Republican ranks This
is more clearly developed every day. We see the Hon

Can any one, however, doubt that the plan of the
Wings is 10 throw the election into the IL. off What
says the last Kentucky Observer of the Both uli Hear
hDI-and then let MIR Brown Of Petersburg still repeat
that the contest is To be narrowed down between White
and Van Buren,; We understand each ofkey dis

motive III his nomination. than the belief that he could be
instrumental in defeating Van Burenso they ready
TO subscribe toany honorable means for the atainmc MT
OF that end. Had this been the position assumed by the
friends of Mr.. Webster from the first annunciaton of
him, there would have been difference of opinion
between them and the friends of Gen. Harrison. Let
the friends Of Mr. Webster cordially cooperate with
those of Gen Harrison, in States where the latter is the
strongest, and 10Th JUdge Uhite and rice persia and

the H. Of r. for defeating the will of the People!
