lhcfe any common principle To be advanced
N his promotion We think not. His
whole political course has, heretofore, been
strictly identified with the Administration,
against which they have waged constant
and relentless warfare. Taking, then, these
things into consideration, we can view his
being candidate Juno other light, than for
the purpose Of dividing the republican party,
and by that means to defeat an electoral
majority, and carry the election into the
House Of Representaiives-where,d doubt.
less, there will be no further necessity for
alternative candidates.
From an examination Of the claims OF Mr..
Van Buren, upon the Republican party, we
think they stand in bold relief. He is a zen.
tleman ol a higher order Of intellect, and pos.
sesslng, IN every particular, the qualliica.
lions necessary to the honorable discharge
of the duties OF the Chief Magistracy. He
IS Republican of the old Jetfersonlan
schoo'. aud a strict construciionist,-th
full evidence Of which we find in his speech
IN the Senate the United States, in ls27,
on the right Of the Wee President to call to
order for wordsspoken indebatc-his speech
upon the Panama Mission, and his speech,
IN 1923, upon the proposition 10 amend the
Constitution Of the United States, IN relation
10 the choice Of President and Vice Presi
dent. He is opposed TO The United States
Bank, aud 10 appropriations by the general
government. We have also The additional
assurance, from himself, that he will gener.
ally carry out and pursue the principles OF
the present Administration. We are salts.
fed, from the fullest evidence, that, un.
der his administration, our great Southern
interests would have the anplest security.
lie believe that his election would tend, IN
greater degree than any other, 10 barmo-
nlse the States, aud give peace and quiet to
the country. Therefore,
Rcsoired, That we concur with our dem.
ocratc fnendsthrouehour the mon, IN sup.
porting Hariir Van Bwe7, or President of
The United States, and will use all honorable
means in prouoting his election.
