OF Mr.. Rivrs:

in saying that had Dir. kves voted he would have

there be treason commlalism in this let the En-
qnirer ma Ike the most OF IL.
awe know not what Mr. Rves thinks on things in
general rho he eW cote for as President &c But
this we will say, that do not think That he
0ught support Mr. Buren, under any circumstances
But, sufficient to The day is the evil thereof.
awe do mol think that he can or ought 10 svppor Mr.

ought NOT sHpp0i Mr. Ian Buren, under my eircum
stances RI. may take Clay, Harrison; any nominee of
the National Crnveniion-but he will take MIR. V. !
under any Circumstances This IS Mr.. Rivess creed
--"uncnmp promising hostility 10 the election oi Marun
Van Buren, is his ~nrcry That to sny, he wIl take
II Clay with all his latudinous notions; with bis 50
million Bank, his Tariff, Internal lmprovements-he ,
will swallow this political anaconda se!f-sooner than
take Mr.. Van Buren, with The sing lie measure of the I
Sub.Tfeasury. We scorn 10 examine this position IL
is ton monslrous absurdy 10 require TO be exposed
But such is The predicamen in which VIM. Z. RiVes
now stands. He throws himself into The arms of his .
enemies. He will become the advocate Of Henry Clay,
with all his abominabe hrresies. He will not support I
Mr. Van Buren, "under any circumstances He will
sacrifice all his former principles 10 his resentmens =

of the Conservative and Wing presses.
The hig presses also giving ont some hints about
