Mr.. Van Buren,, for reasons which we will state
No. of Electoral votes.

Here are l55 electoral votes, more than is
necessary for choice. We claim these states
for the following reasons, as certain for Mr.. Van
Buren,, not even drawing on New York, (42)
or Ohio, (2D-or Michigan, (3) or New Jersey,
(s.) We will, however, he willing to allow Gen.
Harrison Ohio, for the same reason that we may
claim New York. and that is state pride, which
all must acknowledge exercises great influence on
the citizens Of each state. We claim
MAINE, New HlNPsutnE, SoUrm ClgoLISh
Arkansas, MISSOURI, MISSISSIPPI and GEoH-
OLA, for the simple reason that the opposition give
them to u.s. and are not claimed by any Wing
who makes any protensions to candor, notwiih-
standing the apostato Tallmadge had the hardi-
hood to place some Of them doubtful, if he did
no! claim them.
PsSSsYLyANIA we claim, because the democ-
racy of this state never have been defeated when
united, and at the late gubernatorial election
when the Wing candidate had the advantage Of
the state government, which is of much impor-
lance on account of the internal improvement
sy stem, the democratic candidate was elected by
about eight thousand.
VIRGINIA we claim because Van Buren, re.
cciyed the electoral vote in opposition to Judgs
White, southern man with southern principles
whilst Gen. Harrison is a northern man with no
principles.
NoRrn CAnoLISA we claim for this reason
notwithstanding the wings have elected Their
SO the wing candidate for Governor, (Mr. Dud
lcy) was elected by majority of between foul
and five thousand, but in the fall ofsthe same year
Mr.. Van Buren, received the electoral vote by O..
767 majority.
lLLisois we claim, for the simple reason that
we have 6,s27 majority in the state, notwithstand
ing the Central Committee at Springfield sent
circulars all over the Union, stating that they had
information from 1000 individuals who formerly
supported Mr.. Van Buren,, but would now sup
port Gen. Harrison. Out on such deceirerst
TENNESSEE and MAnrLASD we claim because
they are Southern states, and are hostile to Gen.
Harrison on account of his refusal to answer their
intcnogatories respecting his views relative to sla-
very, in n satisfactory manner. Because Mr.. Van
Buren, carried Maryland at the last election, when
the state government operated against him owing
to the manner Of choosing electors which the
Legislature has since altered In Tennessee
Judge White was the opposing candidate, and he
being favorite and native of that state, will ac-
count for his receiving the electoral vote instead
of Mr.. Van Buren,.
of being elected. He will, in all probability re-
ceive the votes of the following states

Horse Thieves.

We received the following letter from the Post
Master at this place few days since, and give it
at length to our readers, in order that they may
be on their guard. We learn that in Iowa and
Wisconsin these bapditti are numerous, and it
may be that the business is becoming dull there
and that they have located branches in this quar-
ter. Keep look out.
Dillon, TazeweH co. .Aug. 81. 1910.
p. M. OTTAWA,
Dear Sir--We nave taken up young
man in this place, under suspicious cir
cumstances. He has with him two po-
MES of the following descriptions--onc
a little sorel mare, about 4 years old a
dark brown stud poney, 3 Or 4 years old.
The circumstantial proof is so strong that
he will be detained here until we know
more Of the matter. We are of the opin-
ion that the Horses have been stolen some
where in your vicinity, and we hope you
will take interest enough in the matter to
let us have any information in the premi-
SEES you can obtain. Get your paper to
give the matter publicity. There is u
regular band of Horse thieves in the eoun-
try, and it becomes all good citizens to
use their interest to have them broken up
and brought TO justice.
Yours respectfully.

less feIidfhaDle tilall the acts themselves,
being nothing less than an attempt to fix
upon me the design of establishing a
Standing army Of tco hundred thous-
and men, for political and personal pur-
poses. If had been charged with the
design of establishing among you, at the
public expense, menagerie of two humid
red thousand wild beasts, it would not
have surprised me more, nor would it, in
my judgment, have been one jot more
preposterous.
IL am fortunately, gentlemen, not over
sensitive to attacks of this character, and
have withal, an abiding confidence in the
intelligence of the people, which reders
them proof against all such attempts to
deceive them. If | understand my own
feelings, my chief regret in Witnessing
such degrading exhibitions, arises from
consideration of the opinion which TO-
reigners, who have not the same reasons
TO respect our political institutions that we
have, are likely to form of the character
of our people, when they sec that conspi-
cuous men among us can promise them
selves any advantages from attempts to
deudc their fellow citizens, by means of
such mOnstrous absurdities. This regret
is, however, | confess, materially dimi-
nished, by the conviction, that the people
will, in the sequel, as they have hereto
fore done, convince those who attempt in
this manner to operate upon their credu-
lity, of the folly of seeking to accomplish,
in this country, political objects by such
discreditable means"
Thus Mr.. Van Buren, again stands in a clear light
before the American people. Nothing is conceal
ed nothing evadcd. Not single object can Nc
discovered by all the ingenuity of the wings,
on which they can lastcn their iangs of calumny.
The charge of non-committalism has long ago
been cast to the four.winds and is forgotten; the
spoon business, though considerably harped upon
for a while, was iated to be demolished by one of
their own party; and now the standing army"
humbug, too, is completely FUSED up
How exalted must appear the open and manly
candour of Mr.. Van Buren, when compared to the
underhanded, dwelling 'policy" of Gen. Hari-
son and his committee With what an i'll grace
the charge Of non-comn. .talisn comes from party
whose candidate connot be induced to answer any
questions 'coming either from friend or enemy !"
What answer has he of North Bend given to the
question of the citizens of Elizabeth City? Has
he come out openly and candidly, and let the
world see what his principles arel If ,he "decla-
rations' contained in the following letter embrace
his principles, the citizens of Elizabeth City have
them, for this contains all the 'dcclarations 10y

But as the Generals opinions on the organsa-
ton of the militia are not given in the above letter,
it may not be amiss to enquire how nc stands on
that subject The wings, in their concern for
their neighbors forgot to look first whether all was
right at home. While they saw the mote in q
brothers eye, they left the beam in their own.
1t must have escaped their memories entirely that
their own favored General himself while a
member OF Congress, had reported bill to the
House for the organisation of the militia, which
to say the least of it, was more Objectionable than
that proposed by Mr. Poinsett. They seem tc
have forgotten, too, that the General was in favor
of old John Adams real standing army, which
