1'HE MINORITY PRESIDENT OF THE UNI.
STATEs.-There is little or no doubt that
Mr.. Van Buren, is TO be the next President
| Of The minority OF the people. Estimating
The Wing msjoriiy in South Carolina to be
10000, the Wing ajority in all the Uni
led States is 1854. S. G.. gave $4,000
votes Tor her members Of the Legislature in
1882. The vote Of the Legislature was
unanimous in opposition TO him. All par
ties, Unionmen & Nullfiers, are opp ncnts
of him. 1t is the opinion OF 5. Carolina
4 gentlemen, IN Washington, that if the peo-
/ pie had voted directly, they would have
been almost all in'iht opposition. II Mr..
Van Buren,, therefore. follows out his o an
ridiculous creed, he will now abandon the
! Vice Presidential Chair, and 90 home to
knderhook. The People are against him.

ILLEGAL ELECTORAL VoTEs.-The Ma

TO find that there is no difference OF opinion
between the two great parties Of our cOrn
