" In concluding this auclc we have only TO say,
as We SAID on former occasion, we mean TO stand

result by the time that Van Buren,, il he shall bo le-

One word to the " State Rights" Democrals--to
the men, who, al the era Of the Proclamation and
the Bloody Rl sundered their connection with
the Jackson party. How can you support Mr.. Nc
Dowell How can you repose any confidence IN the
party, which, while inviting your alliance, offers for
your support man, who, at that period, as you
yourselves declare, gave his o.sen, to measures
which annihllaed Rights, and obierated the fedora
tive character Of our political system In your as
sauts upon Mr. Rives, you profess 10 regard has sup
Port of these measures as leading ground Of OBJ
lection. Yon declare that it is a gulf between
yourselves and that gentleman as wide as that
viii ch separates Dives from Lazarus. How then,
we ASK. can you support James Mcdowell We
leave you TO answer the question.

Alas FOR consistency
The italics and capitals in the extract from
the Valley Star are all lis own. We cannot guess
IN What spirit its tone Of arrogant delaIion will be

Of them, however, we would tell this Bombsste,
Furioso Of the mountains, that, though we might
yield TO persuasion, NE should meet this offensive
spirit Of dictaon with obstinacy al least equal TO
the arrogance from which il springs. However,
this is d" family affair."" and we leave ii TO the ar
