When Mr.. Van Burpn asceaded the
Presidential charm 1886, he did not
receive the warmcss congratulations
from the South. The friends Of dem
ocratic principles, II is rue, made a
struggle to secure for him The vote of
this State, but they were vanquished,
and the vote Of Georgia was thrown
away. South Carolina went for nei.

years, only, however, have worked
most mighty changes. The plain, yet
dignificd and manly course pursued by
Mr.. Van buren,, in his administration
of public affairs, has won the approba-

strikingly displayed than in bis case;
and il is power alone we may attribute
the change that has taken place in the
public mind.
The only party now able 70 stand
against bis popularity, may be found

madmen down; and we have the strong
est guarantee that their nefarious
schemes can never succeed, us long as
Martin Van Buren, is President.

But what shall we say Of Georgia? It

to prejudice, and declared
hat they cannot oppose the re-elec-

believe him to be a firm and undcvia-

against them. The people will not

deserves them more than Mr.. Van Blu
