us the Editor has been unwell, and unable

however, to inform our readers, that he is
convalescent, and will probably be able TO

1t must be gratifying to Mr. Knapp, as it
certainly is to his friends-that while he
has been conin d to his room, and most of
the time TO his bed, and unable to take any
part in political aflairs--or to speak, but
with extreme difficulty, the friends of Har-
rson and Granger have, in joint ballot Of
the two Houses, elected him to the respon-
sblc office of Secretary Of State. Our
readers are aware that this Office became
vacant by the decease of our lamented fell
low citizen, Hon. Timothy Merrill, in July
last. We trust that Mr.. Knapp will be able
to fill his placc-to exceed him in the dis
charge Of his official Tor social) duties few

HARD NAMES VS.. HARD ARGU
hIENTS

How pitiable is the sight, 10 witness men
OF intellect, protesting to he governed by
principles of right, enlisted in cause
where sturrilty and abuse are the only
weapons which they dare to point at their
antagonists Conscious of the rottenness
their cause, they dread nothing more than
TO be drawn into candid argument. They
know that, if they undertake to support
themselves thus, it would draw forth n
reply, and they will become deeper invov
ed in their own sophstry. But behind an
cntrenchment of cpithets and dcnuncia-
tons, without any attempt at argument,
by which to convince the mind they stand
secure. Thus it is that, when we see a
man or party of men pouring out violent
abuse upon another man or party of men,
we infer that they make use of the best
weapons they have, and conclude at once,
that their cause is rotten to the core.
Such was the case when the antinasonic
party arrayed itself against power in Sc
crct places Instead of hearing our char
ges with the cRndor of honest men, and
meeting argument with argument, the fra
tcrnity flew into rage, and sought to iurr
the current of public opinion against us
by calling lis busy bodies 'meddlers will
things we knew nothing about 'hroker
down politicians,' office seekers, &c. tC

weapons we hand 10 coniend-hut never
with rational argument. We said at the
time, it was proof that the institution wa,
corrupt, and could not be tolerated by hon

length come to be of our opinion. Its ad
yocates have found that men are not to b'

VAN BUREN DOWN.

The Van Buren, men appear everywhere
to be DESERVING a sinking ship. In Penn
sylvania, MIR Sutherland, one Of the well
known leaders Of the party has gone over
to the opposition, and has been denounced
by the col ar presses. In Maryand, the
official candidates are deserving III squads,
and they proclaim that they are disguised
with the reckless attempt oi the party, to
Subvcrt the State government. But the
most remarkable among the signs of the
times is he recent declaration ofune ofthe
Van Buren, members of Congress, that
should the election dcvolve on the House,
he should vote not for Van Buren,, but ac
cording TO the best wishes of the people, as
indicated by the choice Of electors; lie also
stated that IN this particular, he was author
lied by other Van Buren, members, that
they should pursue the same course. Thus
have the Van Buren, members of Congress
declared their willingness to abandon the
official nominatee, if the people say the
word. 1t is known that the people of
Georgia are in favor of White. Georgia
has heretofore been claimed us one OF the
most thorough going Van Buren, States III
the Union, and il has been generally con
coded as such by the opposition. We have
however, as our readers can bear witness,
often expressed Il contrary opinion. Indeed
we bellsve that the New York iutriguer
will not receive single southern or west
ern electoral vote His course is nearly
run; he is doomed TO be voted down by
the people, by more emphatic vote. than
has ever been given in contested election.
/ His political days are numbered. lie is
small in stature, still smaller as a statesman,
dishonest and contemplate as n politician,
and the good people of the milton are pre-
pared To veto his inflated claims TO the
Presidency. General Harrison who never
yet was beaten 10y the foreign enemies OF
his country, is not yet prepared TO yield 10
II domestic enemy Of her republican insIltu
tons. The hero of the North Bend has
undoubtedly been destined by kind Prov
dence, TO reform the abuses of the govern
mcnt, and TO put down a huckstering poll
iiciau, who has sought by fraud aud de-
cepton to seize upon the reigns of govern
ment. The people are able TO take care OF
themselves. Let them go ahead, and the
good work will soon be accomplished.

GEN. HARRISON THE PEOPLES
MAN.

Wherever Gen. Harrison has been, in
his late tour, he has been received with
general acclammations of JOY. The people
are coming. The people seem ready to
hail him ms the man who is to save our
country from the influence of domestic
tyranny, as Washington did from foreign
despotisn. The manner of his reception
gives unequivocal evidence that he has n
firm hold upon the affections of the people,
that his popularity is not dependent upon
another mans name--that the people will
support him, not because another man
wishes them TO, but because they can con-
tide in his ability and integrity.

GOV. MC'KEAN'S OPINION OF
MARTIN VAN BUREN

Situated as | am, when at home, on the
confines of the State of New York, and
having been personally intimate with Mr.
Van Buren's partisans-iew individuals
have bad better opportunities, than my
self of marking his political manguvres,
for the last twanty years, during which
time he has exhibited all the powers and
qualities with regard TO politics, of the
chameleon, assuming every hue and color
which his ambitious purposes, i'll view OF
the eXigencies of the moment, seemed to
require. TO speak plainly know him to
be void Of political integrity,-and most
OF those high qualities Of the mind, which,
wherever they may be found, l humbly
trust no minor difference in matters OF hui
man opinion will ever prevent me from du-
ly acknowledging or yielding a just respect.
Cunning, and Il certain species of popular
talent, he indeed possesses-but these only
render him the more dangerous in times
of public excitement and illusion. And
the mischicls | then npprehcndcd have
been more than verified. His whole
course has been that of political disor-
ganzer, whenever it could promote his
selfish schemes. Party arrangements and
even the sacred ties of personal friendship
have both by turns been coldly sacrificed
upon the altar of his insatiate ambition.
