Where is the proof? In the Van Buren,
Journals we take, we do not see his name
mentioned in connexion with addresses
TO the people. The Mississippian, which
is good authority with our neighbors, SAYS
nothing of his speaking to the people in
any place. Our opinion is, that Mr.. Clai-
borne will keep dGrk and no: risk himself
in the canvass, and being so much more ac-
customed to ,Criting addresses" and sap
pcals" will content himself by figuring in
the Loco-foco Journals.
