We will make proposition to the cdi-
tor Of the Sentincl: If he will be good g.
nyugh to write IN article showing that the
State Rights party ought, under any cir
cumstanccs, to vote fJr Van Buren, or that
he holds ane solitary opinion in common
with them, We viii give bis views an in
sertion and recant our errors if we sholld
nroye 70 he in error. We, Of fc0urse, don1t
expect the editor rf tho Sentinel 10 pub

him if he should not convince us; he de-
clined discussing the question on cqgal
terms some time since. We are Of opir-
ion he thinks his cause cannot bear = fhiy
investigation. We now propose to meet
him on equal terms, Whit say you Mr.

undcr"any circumstances" and ono Of
those circumstances is, when the contest
for the presidency is between hlm and
Mr.. Clay, Gen. Harrison, or Daniel Web
ster. These three gentlemen, no matter
what may be their talents or character,
are The supporters of the principles of crn
soldation; they are the great champions
of liberal construction, high tariffs, in
ternal Improvements by the Federal gov
ernment, national bank, union oihlnk
and state, and contend that the Federal
government is the sole Judge of its own
powers. They are the representatives of
the old Hamiltonan doctrines, and the
great mass of the party which support
them have at all times since the DAYS Of
the elder Adams down to the present time.
been the advocates of all measures which
strike at the rights of the sovereign states
of this Union, and which tend TO build up
a splendid federal government to over
shadow the rights of the states and of the
people. Tho party that supports Mr.. Van
Bnren in The North, are opposed to all
these principles, and openly and fearless
" advocate state rights, a strict conslruc
ton of the federal constitution digoroa Of
bank and government, and the old JEFF
fersonian docTines Of SO.
In proof Of these positions, we can re-
fer the Republican to the last two messa-
ges Of Mr.. Van Buren tp Congress---to the
Address of the Republican members of
Congress last summer to the people of
the United States, and to the Address
Of Inc Democratic party in Maine to tho
public, sotting forth their principles. We
have not these documents at this moment
before US, but from oar knowledge Of the
canlor Of the Republican, we think be
viii not deny that sarh sontimonts are at
thei. foundation. We might further re-
fer the Pepubican to the doctrines set
forth in Athsrtoa's Resolutions, for which
the party that supports Mr.. Van Bdren
voted unanimously. Now we challenge
the Republican to produce papers sane
toned by the Wing party. particularly Of
the North, or even the South, containing
such sound state rights doctrines as these
we have brought to his view from the
Van Buren, party. We ask the Republi-
can to be particular in replying to the a.
bove points.
We are aware that he will tell US Of the
proclamation, of ''lollowing in the foot
steps, and all that; but when he replies
TO the above, we viii show him the acts,
not arordS only, of Mr.. Van Buren, since
in Office. We disappTove Of Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's vote on the Cumberland Road bill,
and also his vote in 1928 on the tariff,
though the latter was given under instruc-
tions--Ror it will be recollected he made
a strong speech against the principle OF
protective tariffs on the very bill for which
he felt bound to vote by instructions.
We disapproye also of one sentiment inI
his last message, where he says he would
