Mr.. Rives said that an attempt was now
made to force upon the people premasursly
the issue Of the next Presidential election;
they we're told they were now 10 choose BE-
tween Mr.. Van Buren, and Mr.. Clay. Such
was not the fact. The issue naw Is, shall
the measures Of the present Administrative,
which the people disapprove. be arrested by
the voice ofthe people in the choice Of their
Representatives in the State Legislature and
in Congress, or shall these measures DO
carried forward aud forced upon the countrya
That is TIA question, said Mr.. Rives. IL
will be for the people, eighteen monshs
hence, to determine who shall be President.
1t will be for them tIea to cast up fairly and
impar,ially the account Of all the good and
the evil that shall have been done OF propo-
sed to be done, by the present Adminissra-
ton, to weigh deliberately the claims and
pretensions Of all who may then be candi-
dates, and the prospects Of improving or 81
curing the interests and free institutions Of
the country, by the election Of this man, or
that, and to dispose ofthen votes According
ly. But, at present the question 10 kos the
country is to be governed, and not xAo Is to
govern il. For one, MIR. Rives said, he
would not permit himself to be drawn aside
from that great and paramount question by
any premature and forced issue, betwsea
the Presidential candidates He had been
charged with entering into arrangemenss
and combinations with = view Ia the electzoa
Of particular candidate in the next Press
DENTAL contest. Ii was utterly untrue. o.
that subject he was wholly uncommil;ed, and
intended to continue uneommitied, that be
might act the more freely and more correct
ly, with all the lights which should be before
him, when the choice was to be made. In
the mean time, the political Prisciples which
had been s. should continue to be the guides
of his conduct were known to thecountry.
| He compared the conduct Of Mr.. Richie,
and the Judges Conveu,is q, (in making ths
report Of Mr.. Van Buren,, the sole bnrthsa
oftheir appeals to the people, to that Of Do
metrlus the silversmiih, and has eraf;smea,
mentioned in sacred history, constantly cry
ing out Great Is Diana Of the Ephesiausss
/ when their "eraf7n vas In danger Of beng
set at nought by the Apostle Paui's preach
ing against idolasry. He said, let the mo-
dern DemetriHses and their political raas-
men, If they please to do 50, repeat their cry
of .GREAT is DIANA ef ne EpAs-
sians;" but why should people who have
no craft to be benefited by doing 80, who
have no interest but the general good and
prosperity Of the country, why should they
| be called on to initiate the seuseless fully q
the Ephesians in echoing this idolairous cla-
NOR? Let the President aL)ure the error Of
his ways, conform his conduc, 10 the opin-
ions OF the people, and then, and MOI an
then, can he expect the support Of the Peo-
pie. (Great cheers)
The great issue now Is, Is the Presidens

Is the President the sovereign, or are the
