sustaining the government "destrucilve f'fY u"
;heir i-gotten power and ascendency, at the up
preaching Presidential election. few remarks
upon the present aspect of affairs. will at once show
the futility of such conclusion. In the nomination
of their ticket preparatory TO the election, there is
an utter want OF harmony and concert Of action
pervading the tory ranks. True. the party is fully
organised yet, from the number OF candidates to
be supported for the Second best office in the gift of
the people, it cannot be said that the party will vote
for their ticket unmutilated, that the party is
PLEDGED to maintain its supremacy by adhe ring,
whether right or wrong to their candidate in the
chief magistracy of the nation is equally true. But
the little Kinderhook gentleman has been tried by
he fiery ordeal of public observation. and has been
found wanting; and the tories will find that by adj
heeng to him, they do not in this instance, cores
pond to the wishes of majority Of the people.
The party may vote for MIR. Van Buren, from the
laudabie principle that to the "victors belong tn
spoils," but the people will burst the trammes Of
pa ry policy, and rise in their strength to sup
port the man of their own choice. The people will
not support any man who does not possess fitness
and capabity for the Office Of chief Magistrate Of
the nation; and past experience has demonstrated
with vengence that Mr. Van Buren, does not pos
sess these essential requisites. Instead Of lending
his aid in the prosperity Of the country the whole
absorbing interest Of his soul appears to have been
ben, upon the destruction Of all our noble schemes
of national policy, and feter them down to salt the
whims and caprices Of factious party Again.
Mr. Van Buren, has no independence of opinion
and in confederation Of this assertion let recall to
mind his movements concerning the North Eastern
Boundary. What man laying the least claln TO
common observation, has not perez from his
vaclating and time serving course, that MrVan Bur
en- has had no more opinion upon This simple ques-
tion then dancing bear in the Streets Of London.
And thus it is,by his frsking md Jumping about
from point TO point to gain somrtnI III the way OF
electioneering capital the country is Just upon the
eve of war with Great Eritian, in order 10 adjust
our difficulties growing out Of Mr. Van Rnren's, and
his party's madness and insanity, and not upon the
merits of the disputed territory. In short, were an
expose made Of one half the insane and mad acts
perpetrateG by the little magician, daring the thr
years which he has most orshily filled the exec
utive chair of the country, he would be deemed by
his own party as politically Fl, to straight jack
et What has he done for the good Of the country?
Noth,ng-absolutcly nothing. What has he not
done to crafty political ambition and secure party
triumph let the lettering institutions of our once
happy country respond. Is ittben possible that an
outraged people will come forward at the next cleo
ton and bend the knee to Baa, in their support Of
this man and the acaba which surround him No.
The people well understand the true questions ut
issue, and speak they will in tone any thing bat
gratifying to those now seeking the downfall Of our
republican form of government, and the happiness
Of free and enlshted nation the people are gath

its foundation. The war cry Ito the rescue," has
been sounded throughout the land, and its echo
CRATES harshy upon the ears If the occupant of the
