ARGUMENTS OF THE VAN BUREN, PARTY.
When driven to the wall by the power of ruth
men will ofien resort 10 even desperate means to
accomplish their designs. This seems to BIO the
condition OF the Van Buren, party in this vicinity.
Since their ISLANDERS upon tho Log Cabin Candidate
for the Presidency have been met and nailed to the
counter as base coin, they now undertake to rem
der HIM odous by grotcsquo and 'fantastica repre-.
sensations. Ii was known to the devotees of Van
Burenism in tins quarter that the friends of Hsrr,-
son from this region would go to Lyndon on the
4th in procession, and accordingly the night pre-
vous was spent by certain prominent men OF the
party in this town in erecting by the high way, ut
different points, figures or images, which they Ia
beled cold Tip" &c, and when Tho procession
passed their sentinels to witness the effcc
of their arguments upon the friends Of tho Farmer
of North Bend. They did not appear to be much
ashamed Of their occupation, but rather goried in
being engaged in the guardianship Of pe,ticoats, &c
Nay, they were not sufficiently guarded in the Sc
lection of the old clothes used, TO prevent detec
tion---for the garments were recognized having
lately been worn by certain persons, who make
some pre,ensions to deceney The lions of the
farce proclaimed their shame by exposing theil

They would however rather see some OF thel
neighbors l,tto more cautious OF their regulations
Such arguments will not injure them, the brave

divided the republicans and foderasts from 1870
TO 1901; and Wings we feel bound, by the love
we bear TO the constitution and the country to take
sides for the people and against the enci oachmenls
Of power.
ResoiDed, That we embrace, as fundamental
feature in creed, the great doctrine universal
ly adopted by The republicans Of the country from
1916 TO 1924, under the administration OF James
Munroe, that il is the imperative duty oil the gen.
eral government to protect and foster american Il"
! dustry, as tho only sure bond Of American Inde-
pendenco.
ResOiyed, That we are in favor Of n distribution
or the proceeds oil the public lands to the states,
according to the deeds Of cession, as matter OF
strict Justice to the several States, and as essential
TO their best interests; and that the scheme of tho
adm nistra,on to buy votes by yielding portions o
| these lands 10 the new States without an equiva
lent can be fifty described only as an act OF high
handed robbery.
Eesolped, That we respond to the nomination OF
WIN. HENRY HARRISON for the next PresI.
dency As pledged 10 the work Of reform, and ia
administer the government in the spirit Of true re-
publicanis,, we need his services; for his many
glorious deeds, we him debt of gratitude;
for his unsued integrity trust him; and
for all these reasons, we will heartily unite with
the people of the Union in giving him triumph
ant election.
ResolDed, That we approve OF the nomination Of
our present State officers, made by tho State con
vention on the 25ih ult. They have been tried in
the balance of experience and have not been
found wanting
ResoIUcd, That recommend TO the freemen Of

MATTOCKS, Of Peacham, one who, by his
distinguished talents, his experience, and his ut
tachment 10 tho prin pies which characterize the
Wings oil tho present day, is suitable person &c

We have distinct recollection of Van Buren's
looks and manner that occasion. They were
super fuous and foppish He was the same cox

Globe? Is there one who viii not admit his aston

The next false clamor against that Bank, consists
in the charge that the stock held in large sums

upon us, that may be attempted hereafter, from

Resolved That the foul and caumnious insnuations in
said resolutions against the brave and patriotic vetean the
peoples candidate for the Presidency proves of two

there single reader of tAs Globe who is not aston
that the purpose of the Globe, is to get up false
clamor against the Bank; and we would ask every
one for what purpose? No man prefers falsehood
to truth, when the truth will best serve him. And
the fact that the organ of party paid and sustained
by them, labors to mislead public opinion by false
Information, is, or should be, conclusive against
them.

impression that this bank in the possession OF
few British Mobiles and their agents in the United

We would ask the honest laboring mar to ponder
over these facts-to compare them with the impress
sons made upon his mind by the repeated assaults Of
the Globe, and if ne finds that he has been led to
wrong conclusions, he will be prepared to hear us
with less lreudice and to reason with more fairness
ON the facts and arguments that are TO follow. We
carefully refrain from the of any expression that
may wound the selflove the pride of opinion Of
those who are opposed to us. We are not the advo-
Gates or the apologist of the Bank of the United
States We owe that institution nothing, and have
nothing to expect from it. We know that it is un-
popular; that those who wont to do it reverence
have ceased to speak in its favor 1t is not our pur
pose to speak of its general administration Wewoud
show that the warfare against the banks is part OF
deliberate system Of misrepresentation, and that the
purpose of the party in power has been, by false
clamor against the banks and banking, to divert the
public attention from the in which they have
administered the affairs of government and that the
war against the Bank Of the United States is but part
of the SYSTEM the effect of which has been to reduce
the country to its present ruinous condition. BY
showing that the Globe has raised false clamoi
against the Bank Of the United States show that
the war upon the Banks has been waged under false
impression, and that the clamor against other banks
and credit generally, from source not entitled
to public confidence.
