HOLLANDS LIFE OF VAN BUREN,.

Doctor Holland wrote life of Mr.. Van Buren,
in 1885, intended to aid him as a candidate for
the Presidency. 1t was published in Hartford,
Connecticut In that year the Abolition feeling
ran so strong, that Mr.. Richie and the Globe de-
nounced me for endeavoring to force Mr. Van
Buren, to declare his opinions. Doctor Holland
among other things referred to the proceedings of
the Convention to amead the Constitution of ".
York to show that Mr. Van Buren, voted to give
free negroes, owning property to the amount of
$3.50, the right of suffrage. In 1885 Mr.. Van
Buren, relied on anti slavery and on black votes;
but change has conc over the spirit of his
dream. and now this northern man IS wanting
southern votes, and his partisans are now anxious
to persuade the south that he is opposed to Alb
luton and to free negro voting. Mr.. Bear tn
Buckeye Blacksmith, quoted Hollands life of
Van Buren, to prove Mr.. Van Buren's vote in the
Convention and the effect in Washington was
SO great thot the Globe come out and charged
that the naughty Wings in New York, had pub
ished forged life of Van Buren,, and that Mr..
Bear had read from the forged copy. 1t was ex-
pected that Mr. Bear would be at Barren Creek
en- the fourth, and accordingly Mr. Spencer, who
is the destructive Electoral candidate, came up
on the ground with the Globe denouncing the for
gerry, and the genuine book to demonstrate tina
it so.
But 10, and behold! Mr. Spencers copy and tn
Blacksmiths' the Same and so far from pro-,
D ing the forgery, he convicted the Globe of false
= hood. MIR Spencer has at length been laugh
!, that the Globe will lie, and we venture to pre-
: dict that he will not take his copy of Hollands
life of Van Buren, with him again. But we cal
upon the people to demand Of him the document
: He has the book, and he should be called or
on all occasions, 10 explain MIR. Van Buren,
votes against extending the right of suffrage t
poor white men, and giving it to free negroes
who own $3.50. Mr.. Spencer has the book III

MEMORIAL

To the Honorable the House OF Representatives
of the Congress of the Emitted States The
memorial of the undersigned respectfully
shews-
That the passage of bankrupt law which
does not embrace the compulsory as well as the
voluntary principles, is viewed with the great
est alarm and anxiety by the merchants, and all
others connected with commerce and trade, who
are IN solvent circumstances, inasmuch as it will
leopard the collection OF large amount of Just
debts that would otherwise be recovered.
That the bill which has recently passed the
Senate, seems to your memerialists to be unjust
as well as unequal, for it does not acknowledge
the rights OF the creditor, who has a perfect
claim, moral as well as legal, to be consenting
party not only to the discharge of his debtor but
to the selection of the assignees to wind up the
estate. That the fourth section of the said bill,
which seems intended to give the creditor a
voice IN the discharge Of his debtor, is formed
as to render it entirely migratory; as it requires
majority of creditors, both in number and in
terest, to prevent discharge; thereby giving to
small creditors who can easily be created in an
ticipation OF bankruptcy, the same power in fa-
vor OF the debtor bona-fidc creditors OF the
largest amount would possess against him; and
secondly, that in case a majority of the creditors
appear in opposition to discharge, an appeal to
jury is provided; which would necessarily be
composed of his neighbors and friends, and this
would give the debtor in distant part of the
Union, manifest advantage over his absent
creditors, who could not appear without great
trouble and expense.
That the operation Of voluntary bankrupt
law, in the present depressed condition Of the
whole country, would prove particularly disas-
trous as well to the property as Of the morals Of
the nation.
That, for these and other reasons, which rem
der the proposed bill so Objectionable in princi-
PIE, 1t was not supposed that it could possibly
become law; and therefore remonstrance

Of Mr. spencer's songs. Frigbtful indeed are

Harrison voted. We are surprised that it never

.sTIIE NORTHERN MAN WITH
SOUTHERN PRINCIPLES

The political integrity of Martin vau Buren,,
has ever been and still is questioned by many of
his most ardent supporters; elected President of
the United States, as successor to Andrew Jack
son, and pledged to follow in his footsteps, which
pledge he has SO signally disregarded; the advo-
cate OF money qualification for an elector in
the New York Convention; the opposer of uni
versal suffrage, who said that the people acere
not prepared for universal suffrage, and soere
the bare naked question Of l7aioersul SUI yage,
put to them, (tte Conccntion) he not betiece
that tioenty members scot,d cote for it; he WHO
said that the further the power Of permitting the
people to elect their own officers. was removed
from them, the better! the adpocate of Negro
Suffrage; he who see nothing to warrant
his influence, when negroes in Southern State
are permitted to testify against an officer of our
Navy; he who opposed Madison and the war,
and voted against supplying the militia at that
time: and yet this man is styled Denaocrot!t!

in tbs same breath that told them that General
Harrison had vsted to sell them.
But we refer every candid man to Mr.. Msson's
speech, which is so full in its detailed exanriaa-
ton of this base SANDER, that none but those
who are resolved to use ialsehood, to acconp-
lish fraud upon the ignorant, can, after reading
it, repeat the SANDER in the language used by
Mr.. Spencer. Mr.. Spencer is out before the
people, and win no doubt repeat the charge
We ask any candid friend of the Administration
to place this paper in his hand, and put it to him
as gentleman and man of honor, how he can
repeat such statements in the face OF the facts as
here given.
But that all cavil on this subject may be put
to rest, we quote from the statutes of Maryland,
the following:
MARYLAND.
Law of 1888, chap. 81, Sec. IS.
Sec. 16.-And be it enacted, If any person
committed for non-paynent of any penalty, fine
or forfeiture, shall remain in prison above thirty
DAYS, and shall not within that time, enter into
recognizance with such security anv one of
the said justices may approve, for the payment
of such penalty, fine or forfeiture, and costs,
within six months thereafter, that IT SHALL NJ,
LAWFUL FOR THE SHERIFF or THE SAID COUNTY
TO SELL SUCH PERSON AT AUCTION AS A SERVANT
FOR 4 TERRI NOT EXCEEDING ONE YEAR, or such
less time as viii produce the penalty, ne or for
leiture, and costs, or, if directed, by any two
OF the said justices, for any term rot exceeding
two years or such less time will produce the
penalty, fine or forfeiture, and costs and the
money arising from the sale shall be applied to
the payment of such penalty, fine or forfeiture,
and costs.
Now Mr. Spencer was a member of the Leg
islature of Maryland, and is a lawyer; and he
cannot be ignorant of this law. If he is sincere
in denouncing Gen. Harrison, how can he recon-
cile it to himself, that he, member of the Leg
islature, permits such law to remain on our
and he did not malls motion for its
repeal' If Gen. Harrison is guilty, so is Mr..
Spencer! and he should be called upon, every
time he opens his lips against Gen. Harrison, on
this subject, and made to answer for his silence
as member of the Legislature.
1t is not enough for him to say the bill passed |
before he was elected. If the act is such as he
represents it, he should have used his influence |
to have it repealed. And the fact that he did
not do so, IS conclusive proof that all that he
now says against Gen. Harrison, is intended to
impose upon what he considers TO be the ignor- |
ant people.
We call upon the people to require Mr. Spcn-
Ger to account for this. He either does not be-
lieve what he now says, o. else he has failed to
do his duty; and it comes to this, fix it as he

HrsnY THE EIGHr.--This monarch had con-
siderable humor about him, as the following story
proves Having lost himself one day while
hunting in Windsor Forest, he at last got to
the Abbey of Reading, where, being in disguise, he
PASSED as one of the Kings guards, and such, was
invited to dine with the Abbot A snroin of bcel
was the principal dish, on which his Majesty Jared
heartily. The Abbot observing his appetite, said
"Well fare thy heart and here, in cup of sack,
remember the health Of his Grace, your master.
would give a hundred pounds on the condition that
could feed so heartily on beef as You do. Alas
my feeble stomach will hardly digest the limb of a
small rabbit or chicken The King, having finish
cd his entertainment, and drank to the health of the
Abbot, departed without having his quality discov-
cred. A few weeks after this the Abbot was sent
for by kings messenger, and committed close
prisoner, the tower, where he was kept for some
time on bread andwater. At last suroin Of beef
was set before him, on which the Abbo, dned
hear,ily.-When he had finished the King came
cut from private place, where he had observed
the Abbot's change Of appetite, and thus accosted
HIM s'My lord, either presently down with your
hundred pounds, or no going from hence. ] have
been your physician to cure You from your squeam-
ish stomach, and here as deserve, demand the
fee for the same" With this the Abbot was ne
ces,i,a,cd to comply, and returned to his Abbey.

YANKEE PEDLAR.-A clever trick was played
by Yankee pedlar upon one ofthe captains of the
steamboats, running from New York to Albany, on
the Hudson river. The Yankee was fully aware OF
the custom putting people on shore who attempt
ed to gain passage for nothing, and his destination
was to place called Poughkeepsie, about half way
between New York and Albany. He therefore
waited very quietly until he was with mile or
two of oughkeepsie, and went up to the captain.
"Well, captain, like to do things on the square,
that's the fact; might have said nothing to you,
and run up all the way to Albany-and to Albany
must go on particular busness-that's fact 4;
but thought it more honorable like to tell you at
once, | haven't got cent in my pocket; have
been unfortunate; but by the tarnal, I'll pay you
my passage money as soon as can, that's fact. y
The captain, indignant as usual, at being tricked,
called him certain names, swore small quantity,
and as soon as he arrived at Poughkeepsie, as IA
punishment put him ashore at the very place the
keen Yankee wished to be landed.
