OF The Argus still holds out the idea that Lieu
tenant Hooe was convicted by negro testimony
The Editor evidently acts upon the principle that
"a lie well stuck to, is as good as the truth" He
says that Bots would not make an Effort TO get a
law passed 10 nterdict negro testimony in the navy,
because there is ocooco majority and he knew that
in consequence no such law could be passed. Pish !!
Every body knows that's false. Bolts was brought

Dragging and bullying of the Richmond Enquirer

cannot make a decent fight in other States, unless
they pursuade their friends that Mr. Van Buren,

"TuRN Coat" is the epithet applied by the Of

UNDER KEEPERS.

The false charge that Gen. Harrison is under
keepers is still banded about in the Van Buren,
papers The Cincinnati Republican thus refers to
it: zrst t.4ti5 Ff4 atsst
The folly, as we'll as the faisehood of the charge
that General Harrison is In the keeping of Com

ters Of inquiry addressed TO him, is ubundanty
established by the simple fact, that upon all the
political questions now agitatIng the public mind Of
this country, his opinions have been openly
pressed and widely circulated. GRi
General Harrison has no confidential Commit
ttee''-he needs none. Overwhem lined with letters
from political friends and opponents from all quar-
tiers of The Union, calling for his opinions, ask
ing for the documents containing those opinions,
General urrson at the suggestion of several of his
friends handed over to member Of the Harrison

As to his PHI scal condition, the thousands that so

T.. +. VAN NESS AND MR. VAN BUREN,,
At period in his life Mr. Van Ness was es-
teemed to some extent by the people of Vermont.
During the Presidency of Mr. Adams he aspired to
scat in the u. $. Senate,r but the Republicans
having lost ali confidence in his integrity refused
to crafty his ambition. He then, like most dema-
gogues and unprincPed politicians under similar
circumstances, went over 10 another party where
the prospect of securing spells was brighter. And
as a reward for his apostacy, jackson appointed
him Minister to Spain, and paid him not far from
$50 900 outfit and salary. While there no follow
ed so closely the fashion and pomp of luxurious
and pro ngate foreign Court that he came home a
beggar in purse and character. In this desperate
condition he now appears before the public, with
tho assumed garb Of democracy, but in truth one of
the most finished demagogues of the day-well
sc hooled in all the arts and inrigues of Van Blu
renism. Having associated with the purse proud
of Sub Treasury and Priest ridden SPAIN he seeks
to establish in this country the same system which
is grinding tile great OF the people to the dust
and enabling the rich few to live in spendor
He has lately returned from Washington While
there it is understood that he promised the State of
Termontto Van Barren, IN consideration of ,oh5ch

IVA Van Buren, man, il is said, has issued =,
prospectus for political abolition paper, in this
State, to support third candid for the Presdon
cy. This is a game of the Van Buren, leaders, who
care no more for the slaves than they do for the Hot
tentotts, and who, by supporting that champion
ofnegro slavery, and white slavery Van Buren,, are
binding closer the manacIes of the poor Africans
These leaders hope by this game to draw off from
the Wings some Of the aboitionists. They will
be mistaken in this--for their design is too appa
rent not to be discovered and treated with scorn
by those aboIonists who really desire the good

The above is but a specimen of Van Buren, 8
system of electioneering which extends all over
the country. We need not go out Of Vermont, nor
out Of Caledonia County to the beauties OF this
system Van Buren, causes to be paid to two in
dividuas in this County from the Treasury $3.50
annually, and their service the country amounts
TO O. This includes none of the amount paid out
under the head of "secret service. The reader
by viewing this system extended over The eountry
will understand why il is that the annual expenses
of the Government have run up from 10 to nearly
40 millions of dollars One half of this sum, there
is doubt, is paid out, directly and indirectly, for
electioneering services. Van Buren, has his thou
sands of drill sergeants scattered the country,
who render no service to the people, but who,
der his direction dictate and direct political affairs,
deceive and overawe such they can find to act
and vote with them. Do not the people begin to
be weary of this interference, OF being thus taxed
to support the corrupt clan Of office holders quar-
tered upon khem? But we oppose this system
