THE RIVAL CANDIDATES, CLAY AND
VAN BUREN,, PHRENOLOGICALLY
COMPARED

Some years ago, Drs. Lowell and Brere,on,
then Of this city, both now dead, took the
general measurement of the heads OF
some fifty odd personages well known
at Washington. The results Of their mea-
surements were published last year in the
American Monthly Magazine, in general
table which has been since republished in
the chronological Journal. We have had
the curiosity TO select The measurements of
the heads Of Messrs, Clay and Van Buren,,
by way Of comparing them with the average
Of mems heads and with each other, and have
accompanied them with such brief expana-
tons as our smatterng Of phrenology enables
us to make.
The examination is not full enough, to be
sure, to do complete justice to either charac-
ter; but it is sufficiently so to show a coinci-
dence at least between the chronological in
dicaiions, and Mr.. Van Buren's real character,
as understood here. They give him, for ex-
ample, great cautiousness, and extraordinary
secreiireness. But we will give the measure
ments, and further comments below, and
leave The reader TO ponder them for himself.
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1839-05-11

The occipital spine is the lump which every
person may feel on The back of his own head,
just above the nape of the neck; lower Indi-
viduality is just between the eyes, where the
root of the nose springs from the forehead.
This measurement gives the length Of the
head.
Mr.. Van Buren's head is three.tenths Of an
inch longer than the average Of mems heads,
and Mr. Clay's il one tenth longer than his.
The measurement for the occpital spine
to the ear, indicates Inhabitiveness or attach
ment to place or country, though some schis-
mntics say it indicates Concentrativeness, or
The power Of concentrating thought. Mr..
Van Buren's is about the average-Mr CIay's
Is half m inch the longest in this direction.
Mr.. Clay, therefore, may be regarded, per-
haps, as more attached to his country than Mr..
! Van Buren,.
The measurement from the ear forward to
individuality is much relied on by phrenolo-
gisis, as test Of the strength Of the percep-
tive faculties. Length in this direct IN dis.
tingushes men who perceive and remember a
multitude Of individual facts and things. John
Quincy Adams, for exnmple, measures five
inches and three tenths, one of the longest in
fifty Of the most distinguished men of the ma
| ton. Mr.. Van Buren's falls short Of the
general average, and Mr.. Clay's ex eeds it.
MIR. Chy's percep!ve faculties, then. ceteris.
pa''bas, should be better than Mr.. Van Blu.
ren's. ..
Inc measurement from the ear TO frmness
Is indicative Of firmncss or obsiinacy. Mr.
van naren's Is lower than the average, and
does not embatrass him very much-Mr.
Clay's Is lower still. The small obstnacy Of
Clay perhaps qualities him for pacificator.

THE LAST ARGUMENT.

The LocoIocos are trying 10 wife down
Mr.. TaIiaierro, the well known member Of
Congress from fredericksburg, "a account Of
his old age. II would be we'll for the coun-
try, so fur at least us industry. perseverance,
efficiency, patriotism, and good sense ARE
useful in the public service, il there were
more such men IN Congress rs Mr.. Talia-
ferro, old as he Is. Experiences Is one OF the
most safe and valuable possessions Of a
legislator. Young men are restless--ambi-
tious Of notoriety, often turbulent, spend their
time in making speeches-fitful in their ut

gcncies. "0ld men for counsel--young men
Cor war; We want men for counsel in Con-
gress--men Of stablity--of knowledge--of
tchiulness--of p,triotisln and Of experience.
Mr.. Talialerro is not too old for the public
service--but he Is too old" 10 suit the pur-
poses Of the subservient Locolocos and this
Is the secret of,he objection.
The same objection operated in the reno
val Of The patriot Van Rensselaer, from the Az
bany post office, in the case Of the .old Wing

quently to others. II is true, removals for
such cause, may sometimes be necessary.
But as general rule ofpractice, il cannot be
justified. The public interest must suffer
under il, although party interest may be pro-
noted
The partisans who maintain this doctrine Of
indiscriminate disability on account Of age
profess to be Jeffersonian democrats. We
have therefore another opportunity 10 show
how continually these modern q democrats
are warning against Jefersonian doctrines,
giving US daily testimony that the old federal
lists have stolen into power in disguise. For
the same reasons, which, in the opinion Of the
Locofocos ought to put man down, were
conclusive with Jefferson that he ought TO he
encouraged and supported! The Locofocos
would do well to ponder the following extract
Of Mr.. Jeifcrson's philosophy on this subject:
81 is objected indeed in the remonstrancc that he
is sepeniy stnca gears Of are; but much ad-
vanced age. our Franklin the ornament Of human

Of his understanding his integrity, his wstchulness,

poses will be answered.
This Locofoco war upon old age, is a war
upon experience and wisdom.
