The Van Buren Meeting.-We have
read, with degree of surprlze which we
did not think could be excited IN our bosom

we have ever seen, we do not recollect TO
have met with one more reckless IN its as.
sertions, more disorganIzing, more bold in
its appeals to the Jdser passions Of human
nature, than this.-lt is fit only for that
receptacle of all that is unprincipled and
vile, the Globe.-Fayetterille Observer.
