Mr.. Van Buren, and his coeauge, Mr.. King,
who was the leader of those that opposed the ad
mission Of Missouri, voted against the Senators
Macon and Stokes from North Carolina, and other
Southern Senators. He voted against striking out
this restriction. Another southern principle"
VOTE
And what has he done for the South! He ad.
mis in his letter to several gentlemen in North
Carolina, that Congress has the power TO abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia What Won
derful attachment for Southern princples!" How
well calculated to excite the enthusiasm Of the
''Southern chivalry!''
(ln late letter to gentleman in North Caro-
lima, Mr.. Van Buren, says his opinions are un-
changed.)
Let the comparison be made between him and
General Harrison.
But what other "!Sonthern principles" has Mr..
Van Buren, {! Are his tariff votes ''Southern :"
He roted for the tariff Of 1924.
He voted for the tariff Of 1928, called the chill
of denominations" l learn from the Journal that
| Mr.. Hayne moved "that the bill be postponed in
definitely" Messrs. Berrien, Branch Hayne,
Macon, Tazewell, and Tyler, voting to postpone,
and Messrs. Benton, Johnson of KY, and Van b.
rem voting against it. On the question ''shall the
bill pass as amended" it was determined in the
affirmative. Mr.. Van Buren, voting for the BILL
and the Southern gentlemen l have mentioned
voting against it. Yet he is called in compliment,
"a Northern man with Southern princi pies" He
not only voted for these tariffs, but when in the
State Of New York, in 1927, he was accused of
lodging vote on the wollen bill. On the 10th of
July, 1927, before meeting in Albany, held to
send delegates to a tariff convention, he gave his
reason in full. H not only advocated tariff for
revenue, but for ''protectioa.
"Mr. Van Buren, said that having now stated,
as fully as the time would admit his general views
upon the subject, his opinion of the settled p0icy
of the State as to the propriety and eXpedlency OF
ufUrdng Legislative protection to the manufacturing
interests of the country, by temperate and wise,
and therefore salutary laws, and his readiness to
aid in The passage Of all such la,cS, lie would tres
pass Tor few moments" &c.
And to afford another instance of his Southern
principles" worthy the admiration of "all the
chvalry," quote the following patriotic reasons
for his supporting tariff. Mr.. Van Buren, said:
; ''lIe owed many thanks to the meeting for the
very kind attention with which he had been listened
to by the gentleman, between many Of whom and
himself there had, upon public matters, been differ
ences Of opinion of long standing. 0E5-Hs stu
alton IN reference to the wool growing interest was
well known TO most of them. He had at present
invested more than $50, 900 in SHEEP, and farms
devoted, and which he meant to devote, to that bu-
siness. He felt all proper concern for his in
erest, and would of course, cheerfully unite in all
suitable measures for its advantage" go
What candidate for gentlemen advocating
"Southern principles!" Twenty thousand dollars
in sheep and farms, thirteen years ago, must have
increased by this time and as he is well known tC
feel sail proper concern for his own interest" he il
unquestionably tariff man now. Well may
man so rich in sheep and lands sneer at the candid
ate of the hurd-cider and log cabin men!
Sir, Mr.. Van Buren, may boast of his "propel
concern" for his own interest; he has never showed
any concern for the interests of his country This
nation, left 50 prosperous and happy" by Genera
Jackson, has been convulSed with distress sine,
Mr.. Van Buren, has presided over its destinies. lii
has never suggested any thing for the alienation
, Of our sufferings. He does not acknowledge he il
bound TO do any thing for the country Let tn
: Government take care of itself; all communiIie
: are apt to expect too much, is the consolation w
, receive from the sheep candidate of "SoutherI
principles" But the people are coming 10 the res
cue. They will take farmer from his plough
