If it be possible that any honest man
and candid inquirer, even of the Van Bu-
rem party, could be misled by the doings
of this poor house Court or deceived as
to It's true merits and character, we COM
mend to such the following remarks
from the Philadelphia Sentinel, the lead
ing Van Buren, paper in Pennsylvania,
That paper, loving truth and Justice
more than party success, accompanied
by such means, says:
We dare not suppress our conviction

sued which is utterly subversiye Of all
law and justice, as fraudulent voting can
possibly be. Are we correctly informed
that selEconsttuted and partizan court
has taken ex-parte testimony, crimina.
tlngSentlemen of the highest standing,
with the view, apparently, not so much
to the prosecution of the individuals. as
the prostraticn of the party in politics
to which they belonged? And is it true
that these exparte statements have been
scattered upon the wings of the wind to
every quarter Of the land, where no an
tidoto could reach them?
Is it true, that cause like this, has
thus been virtually removed from the
lurldiction of the court, to the iurisdic'
tlon OF party, on the eve Of most ex-
citing election? In the name of Justice
and of heaven, are these things truly
reported! May the veriest wretch who
robs or murders his neighbor be tried IN
open court, in broad day light, before inn
partial and sworn peers, and must a
charge of subornation Of perjury at an
election be tried in grog shops and high
ways by heated partizans upon exparle
evidence of newspapers?
Our words may be perverted We
may be, as we have often been, accused
OF lukewarmness to party. So let it be,
IT loving our party not less, bat Justice
more, subject US to the reproach."
