that has ever been at heart an Antimason

the fifth district is chained to the car of
Van Buren, that instead of the five stars

THE NORTH sTAR-MR JANE

The NORTH STAR-MR JAMES.
AT the last congressional election the Star
was the first to nominate and the warmcst
in eulogising and advocating Alr James.
.Notc, it supports his present and former
competitor. And why? The only pretext
for reason given is, that MIR James has
"identfied himself with whirgrry" And
how so' Let me ask MIR Eaton whether
Mr. James was not nominated by the same
party and under the same circumstances,
and is he not opposed Ivy the same party
and for the same reasons, ms ut the last
election? When and how hns he ever
deserted his Antimasonry? What vote of
his has opposed the great principles of his
party, as promulgated in their resolutions
as the landmarks Of their faith? Yea, fur
Their, what vote or principle Of his has been
contrary to the doctrines advocated hv rhc
Star itself? How has he in n single in
stance shown himself recreant to the n,e-
rests of his party or his country?
Aus >'Ai iHc 10 insult
his readers and Antimasons by pretending
to support MIR Fletcher as an .4ntimason &?
Does he imagine that they can SO readily
unlearn what they have so often read in
his paper, and forget that MIR Fletcher was
a mason, and that the Star ridiruled his
attempt TO wipe away this stigma hy
forced withdrawal, as lame effort "io sign
of just before election"? 1t is bad enough
for Mr. Eaton to desert man of MIR james
ability and intelligence Of character, and an
early and tried antimason, for man who is
notorious for his changings in party, and
who, no longer ago than the last election
was supported by Wings, upon profession
Of prominent Uhig principles, and who has
always opposed anlimasonry. This is bad
enough; but unless he can give answer to
some of the questions above propounded,
he is placed in the base position not only
of deserter, but ola viifier of his friends.

During the past week we have received
letters or met with individuals from most
of the Counties in the State. The inteli-
gence which they bring is of the most
cheering character. Men of intelligence
and observation generally place tensions
majority at from s to 10000 over the Van

spirit prevails among the friends of Ilarri-
son and Granger. Slultitudes of the origi-

If Mr. Van Buren, should get the vote
above given to him, he will he elected with
Z votes to spare. Should he lose N Jersey
clone, or Connecticut, he is beaten. The
loss of North Carolina leaves him less than
enough. So would the loss of both Mis-
sour and Arkansas. The loss of Illinois
and Arkansas beats him. The loss OF
Mississippi and Missouri beats him. The
loss of Mississippi and Rhode Island beats
him. The loss of Georgia beats him by 4.
The loss of Virginia renders his election
impossible in any contingency.
Say, for arguments sake that the Oppo-
siton should unite on Harrison. With the
above calculation he now lacks votes of
enough. Give him New Jersey and he is
elected, or Connecticut. Give him Missouri
and Mississippi and he is elected, or Mis-
souri, and Rhode Island, or Illinois and
Arkansas, or Mississippi and Illinois, or
Rhode Island and Illinois. Give PennsyI-
vania TO Van Buren, and Virginia and North
Carolina TO Harrison and the latter is ex-
act|y elected. Give Ohio and Pennsylvania
to Van Buren, and Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama ana Arkansas to IIarri-
son, and the latter is exactly elected Give
Vermont TO Van Buren, and North Carolina

Give Indiana and Louisiana to Van Buren,

Dear ,Sir--soon after the publication Of

sion to infer that your declension was in

vass, with permission to give them publicity.
With great respect,

Mn EDiToR:-I notice by the last Pat
riot, that Mr. Marston has taken offence or
fright, know not which, at some remarks
which formerly made under the above
head, respecting Col. Miller the Anlma-
sonic candidate for Senator.
| do not wonder that the conductors Of
the Patriot are extremely sensitive on hear
ing anything said Of that gentleman and
find it necessary to be very cautious what
they say of him, now that he has come
under their wrath, when they know that
we need but to refer to the columns of the
Patriot to find him eXolled as n democrat
Of the Jetfersonian school-of superior
talents and extensive popularity - faithful to
his trust in the council and in the field - in
short such man as the people must at all
times delight to honor But to dsprove
my assertion that he had changed in none
of his fundamental political principles, they
have quoted from their own columns from
Fourth of July Grafton delivered ny Col.
Miller TO the Jacksonmen of Plainfeld in
1888, in which he said that political Anti.
masonry was worse than Masonry; by
which | suppose, they would have their
readers believe he was at that time an nd
herring mason. But let us zee. lie did
not say word in favor of masonry, did he,
Mir Marston: Oh no. Very well. And
why did he speak against political Antma-
sorry! Because he thought political Or
ghnization was not necessary 10 abolish
masonry; and MS he was Jacksonman, he
knew the Antmasonic party was opposed
to his own in their support of candidates.
1t was TO he expected; but mark this, he
said nothing against the principles of oppo.
sition 10 masonry. But the Editors of the
Patriot were not themselves satisfied with
their argument, or they would have been
contenied with stating plain facts, without
resorting to misrepresentation to injure Col
Miller in the minds of the freemen Of
this County. They say that the said ora
ton was written in the year of the famous
coalition; leaving their readers to infer
that he supported the amagama,ion when
they very well know it was written before
the coalition took place, when Col. Miller
and every one else, save those who were
determined to bring the dsgraceful meas
ure about, believed such a marriage of par
ties could never take place. They very
well know that Col. Miller exerted him
self to the utmost, TO prevent the coalition
that he, and all who stood with him,
were brow beat into silence, or outvotcd
by numbers-tllat this showed him his
mistake as to the necessary means OF abol-
ishng masonry-that this somerset of the
Jackson party, with The many abuses of the
Administration, showed him that the Anti
masonic was the only true democratic party
and he did not fear to resign the hopes
which he might have entertained of pro-
motion in the Van Buren, party, and show
his colors with those who were battling for
the Supremacy Of the Laws" over both
masonic oaths and the cdicts of the mob.
1t does not look very well for Mr. Marston
to throw stones at Col. Miller lie toe,
processes TO be an 'Antmason.' He says
