Van BunEn,s MAJoRiTy.--From table in
the N. Y. Journal Of Commerce, i appears that
the whole number Of votes for the Van Buren,
electors in all The States Except South Caroli-
ma which chooses electors by the Legisature)
was sos ,s6s; Opposition 7s0,104;-Van Bu-
ren's majority 2S,764. To this add the major
ity in Michigan and the total Is q ,od5. In 5.
Carolina, the iotrest estimate Of the opposition
majority Is $4,000, which deducted from the a.
bovc would reduce Van Buren's majority in
the whole union TO only about 10000 lfthe
opposition majoity in s. c. is $4,000 as some
estimate il, then he comes into Office upon the
lean majority of about 5000 votes out ofabout
$50 900. Surely there is no cause for despon-
dency on the part Of the Wings, when we con-
slider that the whole patronage and power OF
the government, with It's 10000 Office holders,
has been used against us, and even the person.
al influence and efforts Of the President himself
Vermont, however, we are proud to say, stands
erect as her own Handicapped mountains, ex-
allied high above the corruptions which have
brought some Of lie neighbor States to bow be-
fore the influence Of powers in high places
After all the confident boastings of the Van Blu.
rem men. only three counties in this State gave
majolities for their candidate, and the whole Of
them added together would not counterbalauce
the Wing majority in this town.

The Tory organ in this place, with its char
acteristic want Of fairness, perverts an ex-
preston in our last, where we spoke of the
WHIG CONVENTION as "men Of the highest

Clerks book, it was unanimously adopt
ed. The writer of the article IN the Re-
publican says-"we never shall forget
the effect produced upon us on hearing
such sentiments av"wed and approved
among US" He was present ,h-r, and
had no objections to the report, and did
moi roie against II if he did moi vote in "a
vor Of it, as he most probably did. The
same article states that "ihe second
reading Of the Address was called. for,
objected TO, and the resolutions passed
without an opportunity for reflection be.
ing allowed" SC. This is not true
There was no frcempn who made the
slightest objection to any one of the re-
solutions, or wanted any further time to
reflect on them ! four collection is right,
it was Judge Pi'mnn himself (wbo was
one Of the committee and signed the re-
port who suggested that perhaps some
of the frecmen might wish to have The
resolutions taken up separately, and no
objection was made to this.-But as none
OF The ireemen expressed such wish
the suggestion was waived.
But pray, let us ask, arc the abolition
list to be caught with such chsfi as this'
And has Dutee j. Pearce now become
an abolitonist? Tell us-and tell us
when and for what purpose he became
so! lie was in town when the resolu-
tions were adopted, and bad notice from
the 25'h August Of the proceedings had
on the nth Sept. We believe he was
present at the latter meeting, but wheth-
er he was or was not is little concern to
ua. The Republican further asserts that
tho "address pronouncedthe African race
10 Anre been born )or serriiude, s. incapable
ofcnjoying rational freedom,S went with
in hairs breadth Of denying that they
were human beings" This is worse
than false--it is wilfuly and maliciously
false. There is not line or word in
the whole resolutions that gives the
slightest countenance to such an asscr-
,ion. Let any rational abolitionist Of
the present day coolly read over those
resolutions, and VIC are confident he will
find nothing in them to disapprovo Of
And let it be remembered that when
they were passed there was no abolition
society in this State, and no allusior was
made or intended to any citizen in it.
There is another insinuation which
ought especially to be noticed. 1t is i'll
sinuated that the resolutions were adopt
ed for the purpose of conciliating the ap-
probation Of the southern States. What
do they mean?-- Do they desire to cult
vale jealousies and hostile feelings in the
North towards the South? Can this
Union last any longer than harmony and
friendly feelings are cherished and pre-
served among the different members of
ii?
They ask "what Mr.. II. B. Cranston
has said, done, or written that should
make him so very popular with the free
men of this State." For information
upon the last branch Of this inquiry we
refer them to Mr.. Dutee J. Pcarce; and
for the rest, to another article in this pa
