vor ofMr. Kings election-Aulw we aver beyond the posi-,
bnity of a contradiction, that not a syllable is said or the
slightest allus!on is made TO the whole Missouri question
in that pamphlet. The great argument which Mr.. ". b.
urges in behalf of Mr.. King, is his ardent and patriotic
effort IN rallying round the Government, during the late
war-thut very war which MIR. V. B. is falsely charged
with opposing. The Wing cannot expect to escape from
the charge which it thus makes upon Mr.. V. Is. We
nail it to the wal-and call upon it either 10 make cood
its assertions, or TO recant them.
Another assertion Of the Wing demands one word.

on The Missouri Questinn - (w!lo. by the by, WAS perfectly
willing, and actually moved, III the OAio Legislature to
instruct Congress 10 adopt every means to prvent he
slaves going 10 Missouri, which was consistent with the
Constitution and The existing Treaties. )-SoEnc few sup
portcrs of Mr.. V. 3. in the North, may lave brought up
this objection against Gen. Harrison, by way Of offset,
ting the attack which the Wings are making against
MIR. '. g., for his casting vote against The Abolition Pub
llcasions. But we assert-that few, if any, Of the Van
Bureni'es make this objection indeed. how can they, if
as the Nhig says, Mr. Van Buren, be himself so notori.
Gus on this score.--What is Il much more important
FACT. we asscrt-and the Wing should blush, il blush
can, for It's asserlions-that the great body Of the
AboI!lI"nisls are in favor of Gen. Harrison, and against
Van Buren,. Tappan and his Co. have dIsclaimed the
Northern candidate Van Nuren.1-They will stand up
for Gen. Hand some Of them have already urged his
declaration, that it was al object near his heart 10 see
the slaves emancipated by the surplus money, as one
reason lof gong Tor hiIl. But, why attempt 10 answer
the Wing. and rciltc lis statcments' Even, though de-
ieatcd, it will argue still-!hough exposed, it Will un-
b!usllng'y repeat It's insidious assertions.
The Wing puhs the Resolutions of his friends in Eli
zabeth City Counly-and styles it the " scat Of genuine
State Rights principles Among these principles they
announce, that they " are opposed 10 the Bank Of the
United States, the Tariff fer protection, and Internal
Improvement by the General Government, upon the
grounds Tn. The Constitution gives no such powers y
&c. &c. So FIR, so good! Now test their tauM by their
scOrks.-We find them declaring their support of a
ticket which may go for Gen. Hurrison.-They pledge
themselves indeed. TO :usc all honest means in (hcr)
power. 10 promote the election of either Of them, (eilhcr
Harrison or Whue0 that may best he able TO defeat the
election Of Martin Van Buren, &c. &c. And yet they
know, that on all these important questions which they
have specified, Gen. Harrison is uitru-and moreover
has declared how near lis 10 Ills heart 10 appropriate tie
whole surplus revenue of the u. S. TO the emanci pation
ofour slaves; Il measure, which they too deprccalc i'll the
strongest terms. They oppose Van Buren,, though he
declares that Congress has no power to NEEDLE with the
subject, even with the consentotthc slave-hoidlng States.
without 4 changc IF Tic Constituion-while Gen. II.
contends that this consent is sufficient 10 make 1t cnnstl-
tutlonai!-They ring the changes again upon the DIS
tTict, although Mi. '. B. has declared himself the 'In-
flexible aud unc~c:nprom!Slng opponent OF any such
power in the District-whi!c Gen. Harrison has com
pletely lodged that question.-But there is one part OF
their Preamble, which puts to shame all the rules OF
Logic-and their ally Of the Wing hunors them so ial
as t~oenGorsc il, viz: that Y. BIS ''udvocacy' oflhc Safety
Fund Banks in .Ne1c YORK, is u pronf;'that he is favorable
to 4 Bunk cfhc Z. Sates!' They might as well say, tha'
