Buren's principles, which embrace the recon-
mendation of his Standing Army, do you not
surrender every thing? Clothed with the power
of that Bill, with the authority to call out the
: entire military force of the country to enforce
any act of Congress, however unconstitutional,
what becomes of your right of State interposi-
tion2 Mr.. Van Buren, carried the Bloody Bill
by the aid of Mr. Webster, it is true; but where
do you find any thing in his subsequent political
career, or in any new confession of faith, to
make him or his principles more acceptable to
the South, than Mr.. Webster? What is there
in Mr.. Webster's principles, which Mr. Van
Buren, does not approve, to which you are OPP
posed? Upon the question of the Tariff, Multi
fication, and the reserved rights of the States,
Mr. Webster and Mr. Van Buren, agree; and you
are opposed to them both. Upon the question of
Internal Improvement and the Bank, Mr.. Web
ster and Mr. Van Buren, disagree, and you cou-
cur with Mr.. Webster; and yet you tell us that
yon prefer Mr.. Van Buren, to Gen. Harrison, be-
cause Gen. Harrison, if elected, would be under
! Mr. Webster's influence; and because the prin-
ciples avowed by Mr. Van Buren, and his party,
are dear to the South. There is something OF
refinement in this reasoning, beyond the compre-
|
But Mir. Clay, as well as MIR. Webster, sup
port Gen. Harrison; and it seems that you pre-
fer Mr.. Van Buren,, because you prefer the prin-
ciples avowed by his party. The Globe is the
party organ, and speaks by authority Hear what
that paper says in relation to the Compromise
Bill:
But, SIR, you need give yourself no alarm
about the influence of Mr.. Clay or MIR. Webster;
If Gen. Harrison is elected, it will be his first OBJ
jcct to restore the influence of the people: and
would refer you to his admirable letter to Mr..
verplanck, in which he expresses his opinion on
the undue influence of the Executive on the
legislation of Congress.
From the Washington Globe.
EEThe halfmillion of pTicileged bene fcidrieS
of the Tariff are indebted to the compromise of
Clay and Calhoun, for the CONTINUANCE
OF THEIR M0NOPOLIES FOR SOME
YEARS TO COME.
EEI'HE GREAT PENSION SYSTEM, which has con-
jured up thirtY-eight thousand veterans, who, to
great extent exist only in the false afidavits of
artful spectators, WAS DISCOUNTENANC-
ED BY THE PRESIDENT, and ONLY Es
CAPPED the VETO because he IS unwilling to apply
the EXTREME REMEDY, except in cases
where the Constitution is threatened by acts of
Congress"
Is it for principles here avowed that you give
your support to Mr.. Van Buren,? But if you are
unwilling to support Gen. Harrison, because Mr.
Clay and Mr.. Webster support him, what are
we to think of your being associated with the
disciples of Fanny Wright and Dr. Duncan
The latter is a favorite orator Of the Admins
tration, fostering mass of whiskey and aboli-
ton. Hear what he says:
Extract from letter written by Doctor Dur

September 18th, 1888.
"There is no man living, perhaps who is more

its moral effects and corrupting tendencies, than
ali other human evils put together. It is not
only moral and political evil within Itself or

Yes sir, this is the man, whose ealumnious
denunciatlons of Gen. Harrison are eulogized in
the Globe and distributed under the franks of
members of Congress, and adopted by Mr.. Van
