nowadays, who goes for Van Buten, no matter
what his constitutional opinions. In these
they may be as far asunder the poles so thai they
meet on ibis great central ground But TO the CON
sideraton Of Mr.. Van Burcns claims.
Mr.. Van Bures gave his assem-, to The doctrines of
the Proclamation
lie voted for the establishment, BY Congress- of
ol-gatcs on the Cumberland Road, within the linn
its oil the States through which passes:
lie recommended in 1887 the enactment &c n
bankrupt law for corporations by which the general
government would have acquitted control over eve
ry State Bank IN The Union, after having. in 1897
himself declared that such a law would be an insult
to the dignity aud an inlractlon of the sovereignty
of the States:
lie voted for resolution, in the New York Lee
eisature insructng the Senators orrha, state IN
Congress TO assert the right of the general govern
ment to dictate to a sovereign State the provisions
which it must inser, in its constitution as condi-
dlilon ofadmlssion into the Union.
lie voted to engraft upon The law, orranzing the
territorial government OF Florida, a provision, pro-
hlbitins the migration from the States and settle
ment in that territory ofslaves, unless their masters
settled there also"
And his friends now claim, by her attempt 10 put
down Mr. RWes for prele,ing to obey his STATE,
rather than The President, that the Senators of The
sovereign States his representatives. and bound
to obey his will, instead OF the representatives. oil The
States sent to Washinet on 10 obey Mer will
These arc some of Mr.. Van Buicu's CLAIMS TO
the support oithe State Rights party Which of
them it is that recomends him TO their confidence,
we confess we are unable to discern The Enqu-
rer will render us service by pointing the con
sonance between his acts and their principles.
C. The Enquirer states that she South is rally.
ing TO the standard Of the Missouri Rcsriolonls
We don't believe it. 1t refers to certain signs"
in Georgia aud South Carolina TO show the truth Of
its assertion And yet what says the Georgia Jour
nal the leading State Righ's paper in that State ,
" The body Of the State Ri ghs party of Georgia in
declafes) are at tins moment AS firmly united in
opposition TO Mr.. Van Buren, they
have been at any former period nor shall his con-
nexon with Mr.. Forsyth in the canvass, nor
his coalition with Nicholas Bddle, Esq. abate, in
the smallest degree the rgor of that OPPOSITION
1t also expresses the confident belief bat South
Carolina cannot be induced by the unnatural and
monstious " coalition" between the great NuIhfyer
and the author of the Proclamation and the Force
Bill TO cas-, her vote for Van Buren,.
o. In connection with the extract from the Cir |
cular of Edward Stanley. Esq. of N. Carolina TO
his constituents, which insert in another column,
may remark that the two abest papers which have
recently appeared in opposition 10 the teneis and
conduct of the Abolitionists are from the pens oil
John Whpple, Esq. Wing member of the Rhode
Island Legislature, in a Report submitted to that
body and letter Of Harrison Gray Otis. dstln-
guish Wing Of Massachusetts, addressed 10 Mr..
Whpple. They take the decided ground a
gulshed ability. Why don't the Richmond Enqui-
rer inform its readers of this fact
o. The Richmond Enquirer is indusitiousIy
endeavoring TO prove that an Administration which
spent u millions year exceedingly exlrayagant
and prof1iga,e, while which expends 40 millions
DER annum is very economical and parsimonous.
The logic by which this is shown is worthy of the
cause in which it 10 employed. The people, how
ever. can hardly swallow that absurdity, however
skilfully the pill may be gilded.
NJ. In reply 10 request 10 publish Judge Re
oe,s,s charge TO the Jury, in the great Presbyterian
Lawsuit, we observe that even had room for it at
present. our wish to take part in that controversy
compeis as to decline compliance herewith.
