WHY lSIT so,


Every foreigner in this country, who has
got charge of a press. is tho warm friend
of Martin Pan Buren,, and the bitter enc.
my Of General Harrison. Denman, who
was an officer in the British army, and
fought against America and liberty, at
Queenstown, now edits Van Buren, paper
IN New York, and by the Van Buren, cor
poration Of that city was made her printer.
John Douglas, foreigner, not yet nat.
uralized, prints Van Buren paper at
Brooklyn, and by the corporation of that
city, is made her printer. Whitney. who
is an Englishman, and served in the British
army in Montreal during the late war, is
now a warm partizan of Van Buren,, and
by his influence, holds an important office
IN the American Treasury Department
Fanny Wright has just arrived from Eng
land, and announced her intention of trav.
cling this country, and delivering address
ses in favor of Van Buren,, until after the
election. We could mention several other
instances where foreigners have come out
for Van Buren,, and in opposition 10 Gener.
al Harrison. 1t is not strange that they
should oppose General Harrison. They
know him to be brave. distinguished. and
successful American officer. They know
that, like his father before him, he is the
friend of freedom, and aqpai rights, and
he settled enemy Of foreign d!clatlon and
European tyranny. They know tina,
some of the bravest troops Eng land has
ever produced, yielded to The prowess Of
his arms ; and that he has led captive her
braves, Officers. They know that in what
ever situation he may be placed, whether
the private citizen or the President of the
people, his firm and unyieldIng democracy
will compel him TO oppose aristocracy IL
every shape--tO reject and dscouDtenance
foreign interference in our domestic affair.
and to preserve and perpetuate our demo
cratic institutions in all their purify. II i,
not strange, then, that those who are hired
by the enemies Of freedom to overthrow on
government, should oppose General Har.
risen, for in him they perceive the geniu:
of freedom exempllfied. But why Go the,
cling to Van Buren, Is il not because
they know Van Buren, TO be his own, and
not his coun,ry's friend? Is it not because
they know, that during the most trv,na
period Of the late war, Van Buren, was ou
against it, and Pres,den, Madison, and cor,
responding with Rufus King. and the o,hel
wv 'CuC'oio' - u NV ueCduSe HIS dttcI1p
to deprive every man from voting, " no hal
not a landed freehold esia,e-sltisfies then
that he is not the friend of the people, ant
that he is anxious the few should rule the
many' Is it not because his declaratio,
that 1.-The farther power was removed from
the people the BETTER" satisfies them tina
he is willing the whole government SHOULD
merge in one man, providing he can be Tho
! man; and that he would sink the libertle
of the American people at once, provldln!
he could advance himself and family, b.
the overthrow Of the government, 1t i
not that his letter to the Pope of Rome
has satisfied them that he will accept q
foreign aid ofany kind, to carry out hi
= ends, put down the American people, an
make himself The dictator! Are not thes
the several considerations that urge for
elgners to forsake their country. come t
America, abuse our bravest and best men
and support The preposterous and absur
. pretentIons of Martin Van Buren,! If Til
is not the case, we ask any candid frlen
of this country, why is IT that these pei
sons denonnce our good and brave mer
and applaud such as Martin Van Burer
