VAN BrRES's PorrLARiTY-Nothing was much
harped upon before and during the late election, Mr.
Van Buren, of popularity, and constant changes
that were taking place against him. Thousands had
left him III this State hundreds in that-hs old friends
dropping off like leaves in autumn &c. &c. All
this pronounced false at the time and ready TO
prove it, and it will be how firm in their attach
ment Democratic principles the friends and ad
hercnts Of Mr. Van Buren,. He will even look back
upon this defeat, caused BY fraud and alsehood, with
pride and satisfaction that his noble determination
to his country from the clutches of Banks and
SPECTATORS he has been sustained by force most
,onishingy increased from the last Presidential cleo
ton yet for reasons above stated he is defeated His
increased in every State astonishing, yet he is
strangely enough defeated. We will give the vote
which he received few Of the States increase ofls4
and his vote Of 1886
Maryland, 1896, 22l67-lSlO, 2o754; increase 6557-
yet he is defeated.
Pennsylvania, 1886, 9l475--1a4o, 1906, increase
52230-ye, he is defeated.
Ohio, 1886, 9694s-lo40 1247s2; increase 27s34-
yet he is defeated.
Indiana, 1896, 3427o-l74o, 1851, increase 2llol-
yet he is defeated.
Massachusetts, 1886, 325Ol-lo4O, 523GG; increase
lss65-yet he is defeated.
Maine, 1885, 2290O-Is40, 4G202; increase 23302-
yet he is defeated,
NEW YORK, 1886, 166sl5-lslO, 2l2519; increase
45704-YET HE is DEFEATED!
Such is the result throughout the Union. His in
creased vote apparently overwhelming in every State,
county and town, yet strange TO say, he is oyerwhem
ed-defeated while the party has trumphed. Wo bide
our time.

TuE NAME BorspaRy-The Portland Advertiser
saws ii is certain that the British Government,
with forecast that anticipates trouble, IS taking pre-
cautions to her position. She means 10 keep
possession Of the territory North of the 81. Johns.
She is amusing with negotiations, while she is
strengthening and terrifying her positions Barracks
arc erecting, roads eveng and making, and troop.
marching and taking pos, the very centre Of the DIS
puted territory. The British pos, on the Temscoutu
Jake is only 81 miles from the ST Lawrence; good
road has been made, connecting il with that river and
Quebec on the one side, and the ST. John and New
Brunswick on the other; and this has become the
great thoroughare between the provinces Of their EN-
pire.
The Advertiser concludes with the declaration, tina
cause SO bad as that of the British, which require:
such dsngenuous advocates and such false
tions can only be supported by force.
