 We have heretofore furnished tic record of Mir Van Burens negro suffrage vote. It speaks for itself-and between and the Governors version of the affair the people may judge.
 On the subject ofreucng the price ofthe public lands the Governor thinks he has put all objection to rest by showing that Mir. Van Buren said, in 1896,
 lie mould yote fog g,roposiiio o uest tue lands q. fhe Sfates 20 acttch Hiey stood, some just and eqt able terms, reated 10 Me other Staes n, the com federucy He hoped, that afler having full information on the subject they would be able 10 effect that great object. fife 6eleued at # hose lands disposed q at once to e seoerat Satss a aeoad De sasfactory to aH"
 So then, because MT. Van Buren thought it would be wise to sell the public lands to the several States 1t fol- lows that he favor of reducing the price: Unluck fly for this great discovery, 1S years ater Van buren voted four times against reducing the price of pub hc land--and against every measure of the kind-or which the Congressional record on our first paoe His great project of which the Governor speaks is not yet forthcoming The objection, we think is in very nnquet kind of rest.
 But let us to the conclusion of the Governors speechfor have made this commentary lone enough already. The Governor states that the Van Burentes are contendng for Ga strict construction of the Federal Constitution" Mo- they not because they are ex- the powers Of the Executive up all the other departments Look at his control over the pubic moneys-the Procamation-the Protest-the Veto power. "Ihey are contending against nullifca- flon 30 are all of us. 'sThat the people should elect thelr Chlef Magstrateo Is Van Buren contendne for that! He opposed giving the people even the power of choosing electors "For removing the Indians west of the Mississippi Who is opposing 1t. Gen.

 Written with express reference to the occasion ano intended Tor eec as much Ill print in the delve ry the speech IS good speech and well written.n care1y abstalns from touching upon dangerous ground
 it gozes over some things and forgets to mention oh ers-and Judciousy makes great noise about General Jackson and his administration. It is of little import ance we imagine, what principles afoat in the world unless some of them be shown to belong to Mr. Van Buren, The Governor points to of the great land marks ot his idols political course but talks bravey about the Democratic party and their principes-orgeng in
 e ardor Of his zeal the necessity of proving those princ pies to belong to Van Buren. With but here and there variation, the speech would just as well for Ken dall or Blar as for the Kinderhooker-and we doubt whether Kendall could not easily be proved to be the worther man of the two.
 The Governor must not be angry with for contra ecting his opinions Reduced to the grade of private citizen by the change of government he has the same lights, to the extent and no more as each of the people, We esteem him a citizen and a man. and it IS his misfortune not his fault if his political opinions are iitde warped, and as the sailors say, oabbng NO man. perhaps can help thinking his party hon. est and devoted to the general wefarethough we must own that in the of the Governors party it requires great obliaaity of vision.
 The Governor asks, why do we persist in keanno Jadge White in the field! We answer that we would far rather be beaten in the support of honest man, than conquer under the banner Of political pirate To true ldoater of the powers that be- this would be Incomprehensibe. The Governor no doubt can un- derstand it. Whenever all the people in the country make IL rule to join the strong side, shall be close upona despotlsm Nor will our votes be entirely thrown away We have iio earthly doubt that Arkansas will vote against caucus dictatonand if she should not we regard not thrown away that which IS given for correct principles.
