VAN BUREN, AND THE POPE.

The friends of Mr. Van Buren, seem TO
he hard put to it, to allay the feeling every
where nnanifesting itself against him, on
account of his flattering letter TO oils IIo-
liness," the pope, 10y which it does not
need half an eye 10 see TINT he aimed TO
secure the favor of the "HoIy Father" and
his faithful follwers; and by which it is
well known that lie has succeeded in sec
uring the support of the great mass of the
the Roman Catholic votes throughout the
United States. Ii is amusing to witness the
devices resorted TO, TO throw dust in the
eyes of the people, and divert their attention
from this matter.
One of the devices is the attempt which
has been with apparent seriousness made
to prove that Mr.. Van Buren, is moi 10
man Catholic. For this purpose two hon
orable members Of congress, Mr.. Cary of
Illinois, and Mr. Vanderpool of New York
having, Of course, talked the matter over,
and duly arranged overy thing, opened IA
correspondence on the subject during tho
late session OF Congress. The Hon. Mr..
VanderpOol, gravely alledging that il is re-
ported that Mr.. Van Buren, is Roman
Catholic, and asking information upon the
subject. This important epstle, The said
Hon. Mr.. Cary sends across the hall of the
house of Representatives, 10 the said Hon.
MIR. VanderppoI, and therefore The said
Vanderpool writes to the said Cary and
says that MIR Van Buren is not, anil never
has been Roman Catholic; but that he
had in his voyage through life touched at
various points, such ms the Dutch Church,
the Dutch reformed, the Baptist &c. would
il not have been vel if lie had stopped at
the reformed?] Well the said Vanderpool
seals up his epistle, and sends it across the
hall fthc house of Representatives to the
said Cary, who, thereupon causes both the
said epistles to be published, not to prove
that Mr. Van Buren, did not write the said
letter TO the pope nor that he did not do it
for tho purpose of getting the fright side"
of the Roman Catholics, but simply TO show
TINT he is not Roman Catholic, which
nobody has ever, as know OF, asserted.
Now it seems 10 me that il would have
hcen much more to the purpose, if the said
honorable member had undertaken to show
that MIR Van Buren, iOds a Roman Catholic ;
because then, his letter TO ellis Holiness
would rot have been understood MS ihteil-
Ged merely To ilatter him, but would have
been taken as an expression of the homage

where II waves, shrouded in the emblems
of mourning.
But it is not for neglect of duty only
that the memory of the Father of our Con-
stitution is TO be arraigned. 1t must go
farther--since the journals ofCongress will
show that IN u communication to that body,
he attributes the entire arrangement by
which the victory wns achieved, TO that
individual who, it is now aledged, WINS a
"recreant," at the distance of twelve miles
from the scene ofits accomplishment.
Nor must the censlre he confined TO MIR
Madison. A large portion of 1t would fall
upon the two houses of Congress, which,
with single dissenting voice, awarded TO
the same Individual, their thanks and gold
medal, the highest reward for successful
military services which is sanctioned by our
republican institutions.
There is difficulty in determining which
most TO admire, the dark nalgniiy which
conceived these calumnics, or the consufn-
mate audacity with which they are pro-
mnlgated, IN the midst of hundreds of liv-
ing witnesses, who could and do aflix the
character OF falsehood upon them. 1t is,
however, not difficult to zee that the whole
is scheme of deep laid cunning, and that
1t is not expected TO produce any beneficial
results in the Western States. The fruits
of this systematic SANDER are to be gathered
at n distance, since it will be thought in
the remote states almost impossible that
such charges could be brought, il there was
not some foundation to support them. But
nalignty and cunning often overshoot the
mark ut which they aim, and such have
no doubt will be the result in this instance.
The appeal made by my enemies is to
the creduIity, the prejudices, aud to the
party feelings of the people mine TO their
justice alone. | know not the source from
which it is expected to derive any kind of
support to the charges which have been
brought against me. The usual order OF
things seems, indeed, to he reversed. Here
tofore il las been considered necessary to
exhibit proof in the support Of charges
which are made against any individual, but
my enemies appear to think that the bur
den of the proof should rest with me. In
this instance, waive my rights as TO the
party accused, and at once refer, as regards
the battle of Tippecanoe, TO the proceed
ings of the Legislatures of Kentucky and
Indiana on that subject, and to the test-
mony of all the officers and soldiers who
served on that occasion. And in relation
to the command of the Northwestern army,
to the recorded testimony of Shelby, Perry,
Cass, Wood, Perkins, Upper, Ball, Paul,
Owings, and ninety nine out of every hun
dred Of the officers and soldiers who were
at any time, employed under my com
mand.
repeat that my appeal is to the justice
of the people nlone. The delicacy of mil
itary character Will permit no aid or sup
port from any feeling Of sympathy or gen
crosby. ] ask of my fellow citizens in this
matter nothing more than jusiice-less,
am sure, they will not offer.

SCOTCH CONGREGATIONAL
ON SLAVERY,

The following are the resolutions on
American Slavery adopted by the Congrc-
I gatinnal Union of Scotland, on motion of
the Rev. DIR. Wardlaw of Glasgow.
]. That, as a meeting of the Congrcga-
tional Union of Scotland, we are not to be
considered, in regard to any sentiments we
express, or any resolutions we adopt, as
sustaining an official and representative
character, or MS assuming any kind or meas
ure of authority, which would be at vari-
ance with the great distinguishing principle
maintained by us, Of the mutual irdepen-
dency of the churches of Christ: tlla,, in
the resolutions which follow, we speak for
ourselves, whilst, at the same time, we have
abundant ground for entertaining the most
confident assurance, that they are in full
accordance with the views and wishes and
prayers of the great body of the brethren
throughout the country with whom we are
associated.
2. That, in the spirit Of those Christian
principles, which are the foundation of our
personal hopes, the elements of our spirit
lal life, and the charter of our New Cove
nant liberties, we look back with devout
tliankfulness to the God of Providence, TO
the decision of our legislature, by which,
after long and arduous struggle, the slave
trade was branded with the stigma, and
condemned to the punishment, Of felony /;
and in the same spirit, we contemplate the
more recent ACT, following up the abolition
of that nefarious traffic, by which final
termination has been put to slavery itself
throughout all the colonial dependencies Of
the British empre,-an act by which n
seemly and glorious consistency has been
impaired to Our character and institutions
as free people, and dark cloud has been
iispelled, which had long brooded over
our beloved land, heavily charged with the
vengeance of offended heaven.
3. That al the time when this act was
passed. an act demanded alike by the
claims of humanity, justice, religion, and
sound policy--one, and not the least of The
sources of Our grateful Joy was, the san
gIine anticipation of The beneficial influence
which might be exerted on the counsels
and conduct of other people, by the exam
pie of nation occupying, through divine
favor, 70 exalted and commanding posi-
lion MS our country does, amongst the gov
ernmsnts, not of Europe only, bur of The
wOrld--an Influence, of which our high
estimate led us Ia cherish the delightfully."-
cheering hope, that at no distant period
every yoke should be broken" and, in all
lands "lhe oppressed should go free"
4. That we cannot hnl regard with iecl-
ings of special interest cur transatlantic

the objections urged in his message against
re-chartering the Bank, to be well founded.
But is it not somewhat singular If these
objections rest on sound basis, that some of
them should NOT have occurred to Madison,
who for comprehension of mind, and
keenness of intellect was not surpassed by
any one of those distinguished men, who
have at different times occupied the Presi-
DENTAL Chair?"
Now Mr. Editor, does this sound like
democracy? was opposed to MIR Peck,
when he was nominated, not on the ac-
count of his talents but his principles, he
never was democrat lie always was an
advocate of the United States Bank, which
is contrary TO the principles Of the Demo-
cratic party.

"Spiritual father" These cunning mem
hers of congress, i'll my humble opinion,
Overshot the mark, and showed that their
friend, Mr. Van Buren,, was ms destitute OF
highninded honorable principle, as he is of
regard for the Roman Catholic religion, and
every other. And can tell these honora-
bles that they "llave their labor for their
palms." for their contrivance is seen through
by the people, who don't like, and cannot
I've made to like, man who flatters the
pope for the sake Of getting Roman Catho-
lie votes.
But see that some cunning editor has
got up another contrivance to throw dust
i'll the eyes of the people, and that the con-
ductors of the Free Press have transferred
it to their paper, under, the caption OF
"1arrson and the Catholics" The amount
of it is, that Gen. Harrison, in negotiating a
treaty with certain tribe of Indians, 80
years ago stipulated, on the part of the Uni
ted States, that there should be given an
nually, for seven years, to the said Indians
one hundred dollars towards the support OF
priest ol'tbe Roman Catholic religion and
the further sum of three hundred dollars TO
nssst tile said tribe in the erection of a
| church. The discovery of this facts is re-
garded as wonderful, n full offset to the flat
;ering letter to 1" His Holiness"
1t is unfortunate for the success Of their
scheme that one fact could not have been
concealed, it is that "the greater part of
said tribe had been baptized and received
INTO the Catholic church, 10 iehich they iOere
much attached" And this was expressly
stated in the treaty as Il reason for the grant.
The statement of this fact, presents the con-
duct of Gen. Harrison in Il highly honora-
bic light. He no doubt thought that the
Roman Catholic religion was better than
| paganlsn and since they had been receiv-
ed into The Catholic church, and now much
attached 10 it, he wisely deemed it eXpcdi-
ent to crafty their wishes by appropriating
n part of the amount 10 he paid To them
for their lands to the purpose above mcn-
toned. know not what motive might
have operated on the mind of Mr.. Van
Buren, on such IN occasion. He might
for aught / know, have the money TO the
pope for indulgences. But Gen. Harrison
with his usual good sense and good feeling
thought it better TO crafty the desire OF the
Indians to have u church and religious III
struction, than to have the money to gel
drunk with. This is the long and shcrt OF
the matter. To say Il word to show that II
bears no sort of relation to the act of wri-
ting fulsome letter to the pope, a convcn-
lent time before the presidential election

The hour OF trial is at hand Now is
the time for all who love their country, its
Institutions and its laws to grid on their

Who will falter and hesi ate now? Cheer
ing news comes in upon us like torrent

heart so insensble as not to be gladdened
byit? North Carolina, .AiaJamd, Kentucky,
Indiana, and Missouri, have struck bold
blow for their country. Van Burenism is
tumbling headong like the old Dragon from
its pedestal, its minions and worsippers
are fleeing in dismay and confusion. Pat

is the time to come in and by vigorous
onset complete the rout. The Country

has neighbors and friends with whom he

be indisposed from distance, poor health,
or wnat of conveyance to attend the polls.
You may afford them aid and assistance
Some may be deluded and deceived by the
enemy and made TO believe white is black
and black is white. Show them the truth.
Remember, friends, that no great results
were ever brought about without great ex-
eriions. A good cause is good thing, but
it has no reliance except upon its friends
10 sustain it. True, you have neither pat
ronage nor offices nor public money, nor
would YOU if you had use them as your
INSCRIPTIONS advtrsarics do. You have
on your side truth, and honor, and patriot
ism, and what more is needed but an i'll

Do not content yourselves with meagre
victory of a few thousands. In that case
you will have the battle to fight over again
in November for Electors. But come out

incorruptible Freemen of Vermont where
the spirit Of our fathers is up. They once
