whose practice proves to US that they

WARREN COUNTY, June 25, 184O.
For the Tennessee Telegraph.
SIR-In late M'Minnville Gazette
there is paragraph quoted from your
paper, in which you say that a "citizen !
of Warren county was offering to bet
a large number of cattle that he could
prove there had been 35 changes from
Van Buren's to Harrison's cause in
single precinct in that county" Your
informant was right, sir, as the sequel
| will show
DECLARATION:
At the request of neighbour and
| friend, we, the undersigned, herewith
state that we were original Van Buren,
men, from principle, but having be-
come very much dissatisfied with the
present state of things, and with the
course that Mr.. Van Buren, is pursu-
: ing, we can no longer give him our
support, because he has abandoned
the main principles on which he went
into the office he now holds. We will
: specify some of the instances:
He has told Congress, that she can
not too strongly recommend" to their
s consideration the plan of his Secretary
3 of War, for organizing Gan armed mil
tia force of two hundred thousand
j. men," in this time of peace, to be cali
Il ed out, in ten divisions ofthe U. States
twice a year, under the direction Of
:, the President, and TO be in the service
ofthe United States-giving authority
to the President TO have tried, by g
d court MARTA, mot by ajury of their fel.
/ low-citizens, all who refuse to arm ano
II equip themselves, at their own ex,
l. pense, and march to the appointed
IS place of rendezvous, or who refuse t.
It pay a fine, or who are too poor to pay
I, it, and to have all such cast into prison
d, by the Presidents Marshall, not gu
n Sheriffs, and to lay there one mont
or for every five dollars of the fine.
l. He has got rid of $37 100000
er year of the peoples money in spite {
!. the fact that the people turned out J
= :" @. Adams for spending $13,OoO,Oo
year
ne He has appointed to the peoples
'e- most important offices of honor an
nd trust, his own heated partizans whol
&c the people themselves have rejected
RE such as Messrs. Selden, of Virgin
re! Wolf and Muhlenberg of Pennsylv
~ MIA, Cambreleng and Moore of Ne
t a York, Everett of Massachusetts, al
he Carroll and KINCANNON Of Ten
-. He has thus done with the people
~ high Offices, as if they were his ow
instead of following Jeferson's gold
ing rule Of asking, in relation to an app
MY cant for Office, els he honest? Is he
on pable?"
cas- And he is at this time pressing
sue on Congress and the country his 0
re is Gus Sub Treasury Scheme, which
"In enable the President and his OF
,ers, Holders to collect from the People
the the dues of Government in Gold
N IN Silver, out of which, they will rece
:, of their salaries, while the people will
~ left to deal in paper, or have no {
' ct. rency at all. His leading champ
inns in the United States Senate, Mes
re 10 Buchanan, Walker, Calhoun and /
eSen' ton, openly proclaim that this sch
the will reduce the price of land, OF pl
time erty, and the wages of the mech
con- and the laborer. As an Offset, b
3uren ever, they pretend that other tn
r fei. will be enough cheaper to make IT
lings. How do we know that!
The practice of MIR. Van BureT
W up pears 10 us to be at war with his
THE LESSONS, and we are therefore cons
Inced ned to abandon him. We are
that Democrats, and would have been
ofthe sed to have voted for him again
cellar we owe duty to ourselves and t
. Van country, which is superior to all
W dis ties.
E, and We believe, too, that we have
,tiona- Democrat offered to our sutfrag
} con- the person Of General VIM. He
to his HARRISON. He has given
hest evidence of his untiring de-
ian. to his country and her true intere
,e same glory. In the last war when we n
If came his services, he gave them to his
5 a new try, on the fields of Tippecanoe
Meigs and the Thames; while
Van Buren, as we must all G
j. Harf,- was driving his political fortune
