Defniiion Of a Pan Bnres Dem0eyat--It II bne
of the easiest things in the world for man 10 be
Van Buren, Democrat Of the genuine stamp. u re-
qu,res nothing more or less than an unwavering
and unqualified support Of Mr. Van Buren, and all
his measures, as proclaimed through the Globe and
lis echoes. He Is wholly relieved fom lime ana
trouble Of exercising his reason and Judgment on The
measures of the general government--he Is not to
perplex his brain by studying principals oil govern
nent, and the natural and acquired rights OF man
all Of which he Is 70 submit the infalibiliry Of MI
Van Buren,, who Is 10 be acknowledged as utterly
incapable of acting thinking iey0ng. lie Is 10 ac-
knowledge that the election of Mr.. Van Buren, 10
the Presidency, transferred TO- and concentrated In
him the executive head, all the power, wisdom and
wealth ofthe naion--that il Is the duty OF The people
and their representatives 10 carry on all his mea-
sures, nothing doubling-ihat 10 question any OF his
measures Is highly disrespeclful and improper, and
TO oppose them, moral "treason"
man who will make the foregoing ac'now-
Judgements, and subscribe 10 the foregoing creed
In the true, perfect sense and meaning Of the word,
a Van Buren, Democrat In principle; nothing want
ing. Being thus orthodox ~ principle and unwayer-
ing in Practice he may be for, or against property
qualification, except that he must approve OF Mr.
State Convention Of 1921 in support Of properly
quail fcafi0a to entiile man 10 right at any
and al elections, and to exclude poor aohite men, and
admit rich H<gyoes to rote for and against amalga
nation, except az u Is pracised by Col. Johnson;
for 81 against aboliiioniss for or against internal
improvement; for or against state banks; for or
against National Bank except that he must adj
vocate an Independent Treasury Bank, and the leg
treasury system; Mason or anti Mason, or Odd
Fellow. II member Of the old Federal party, as
was Gov. Grason and Messrs. Howard, Worthing-
ton and Thomas, loco foco members Of the last Con-
gress from Maryland, 1t is Recommendation, and
affords additional evidence that he is finished Van
Buren, Democrat in principle.
II Is moreover the duty Of Van Buren, Democrat
to calculate Equal Rights and equal privileges"
without any quail ifcatioH whatever; which, il car
ried out, would do away all legal restraint abolish
all legislative assemblies and judicial tribunals and
throw every thing into state Of chaos Every man
would have an exact equal right TO properly, with
any other man, matter where situated, or whether
real or PERSONAL---VERY. would be judges jurors
mo tax-gatherers--no government-all would be
unrestraned by government or law, and none could
exist In community where equal rights and equal
privileges existed without any qualification man
could have an exclusive right to The society and ser
vices Of his wife and children, in community ex-
ercising equal rights and equal privileges without
any qualification, and the community would be sunk
10 level with the most filthy OF the brutal creations
a state of human degradation, al the contemplation
Of which the heart Of every thinking man would
scken.
A Conservative Is a man who reasons and argues,
Investigates the measures Of government, and hon.
eslly approves dsapproyes agreeable TO his
of right and wrong. But Van Buren, Democrat
Is denied right to argue, unless he has,
has sa,A M Van Barren, for every thing he says
or thinks Conservatives, and all men who exercise
the reasoning faculty, acknowledge tro kind righs
the first are natural, which all men inherit from
their CTeator-the second are acquired under an
organized government and regulated state OF society
and the general principle connected with both are
understood and their justice acknowledged BY all in
telligent men who advocates for wholesome
laws, and the protection Of life, liberty order and
property. A few remarks upon acquired rights
man by his industry fortuilous circumstance
acquires properly he has exclusive right TO II,
subject only e ~. necessary 10 support govern
ment-by his courtesy he marries wife and ac-
qures rightto rear up family of children and TO
bequeath 10 them his property. But upon the plan
Of Van Buren, Democracy OF unqualified rights as
set forth BY Fanny Wright, R. ID. Owen, defeated
Van Buren, candidate tor Congress and other leaders
OF the head OF the party, every man would have an
equal right with him to his properly 10 his vile and
the services of his children.
Il is but justice TO the minons Of Mr. Van Buren,,
the leaders of the party, that the unqualified rights
and privileges preached up by them, which are ge-
neral in their nature, are to be special in their app
cation 1t requires only the exercise Of reason to
prove conclusiyely, that The measures Of MIR. Van
Buren, il consummated, would produce splendid and
rich government, and the working class degraded to
level with beasts Of bnrthen-such a state OF 60
vernment and society as exists in Holland, the
Hansiatc towns, Cuba &C., of which Col. Benton,
in late letter speaks with such enthusiastic delight.
The tax gatherers would sweep over the land and
dwellings of the laboring class, like hurricane,
gathering the treasure of the nation into INDIE
PENDENT TREAsuRY BANK AND BRANCHES and subject
ing the wives and daughters of the working classes
to the equal rights and privileges of the Van Buren,
nobility and their successors.
Fellow cilizens--the step from republican form
of government to splendid monarchy, or the at
tempt to make the leap may be near al hand. That
such is the object Of the leaders OF the Van Buren,
party is too strongly indicated by their measures to

investigate them. Place the purse and treasure un-
der the control of the President and and army Of
one hundred thousand Office holders and dependents,
and what security have you for continuance Of
our republican institutions Pause and reflect
