Al least of the affairs Of Mr. Van Burens admnsira-

sve throes Of their opponents. and shielding their
country as far possible from the dangers malignant
and reckless violence and endesvorng TO avert the
embanassments which defeated men, stung with dis
appointment will seek to throw in the way Of the new
administration. On the third of March next, ~
O'Clock, p NJ, Mr. Van Buren's dull star will vanish,
and Immediately in its place shall behold appearing
fhe rising sun of Hanson.

ILLINOIS POPULAR VOTE.

The Springfield Qllinois) Journal, of the 29th
of August, settles this question distinctly by the
following statement: FFWe have obtained from
the Secretary's Office, the popular vote in fifty
eight counties where contests were had. There
were contests in some of the remaining counties.
We are unable to give the vote this week, but
hope to complete our table in time for our next
paper. We can assure our friends, however,
that the Van Buren, majorities in the So soun-
ties, will not exceed ESQ, and that the remaining
20 counties will not increase it more than 500,
by any fair estimate that can be made. We
shall be compelled to take the vote of 1886 or 3S
as test in portion of these % counties The
aggregate vote of the State will not vary far
from 10000" From this statement, which is
clear and distinct, agreeing with our reports by
letter and verbally from that State, we have a
strong and abiding conviction, that Illinois will
come out triumphantly for Harrison and Reform
in November. We repeat it, we have no mis-
givings on the subject.

NEUTRAL PAPERS.

The "Sun," of this city, has, on more thai
one occasion, complained that we did not, ii
speaking of political articles which have beer
inserted in that paper, say that they had beer
inserted as advertisements. These complaint:
have inducedus to look often into the "Sun,
and to reflect on the character and tendency o
its neutrality. We have found it, of late
filed with accommodation, laboreC
efforts to prove that it is more deserving of The
public confidence, on political matters, thar
the political press, because it is a neutral
paper; and that it has received larger share
of public patronage on that account
We will not gainsay the puff which is re-
peated daily at the head of its columns;-it
may be, that it has greater circulation than
all the other papers together,-but, as it arro-
gates to itself higher regard for political
truth, and that, on that account, it is entitled to
greater confidence than the political press, we
feel it incumbent on us to consider and treat it
in its true light; and hence, hereafter, we give
the "Sun" notice, that, for ourselves, we will
hold it reponsible; and whenever it lays aside its
neutral character, and enters the lists as par
tisan, we will, if we deem what it may do
worthy of our notice, treat that paper as we
would any other partisan print.
That we may be understood, we give the
"Sun" fair notice, that the pretence of being
paid for the insertion of an offensive political
article, will not protect it from the conse-
quences. The "Sun" sets out to be aneutral,
and, if it is to be believed, many persons take
it because it is neutral. The pledge to the
public is, that it ia and will be neutral; yet, in
the violation of that pledge, it publishes, for
pay, any communication, however partisan in
its character, for either party. And yet, like
the Pharisee of old, it constantly pirates that it
is holier than its neighbors
1t is manifest that the object Of the 'Sun"
is to make money. The morals of the editor
are regulated by the thermometer of the pro-
prietor's purse. That which gives the. most
pence is the rule of its action. For this it la
boIs, and its industry in catering for the graft
fcation of its readers has secured for it profit,
which, if it is to be believed, is at least equal
to its deserts. 1t must cease to publish poiiti-
cal articles, for pay, or else it must cease to
pirate about its political purity, or we WILL from
time 20 time, as we deem it appropriate, expose
its true character.

Harrison, but he has not mentioned Mr.. Van Blu

First-'To show that Martin Van Buren, by

timony, as in the Hooe case, &c is entitled to
the continued confidence of the people of the

ellis, Until these positions are made good, rely
upnn the redeeming intelligence of the people to
work out the salvation of our common coun-
try; for his finding fault with the doings of the
Wings at the Harrisburg Conversion, recalls to
my mind the story of the honest Irishman, famous
for conducting wakes in the county of Cork At
last, he received a Summons from the grim mes
senger, Death; his friends surrounded the bed
side-his directions were very particular for the
conduct of his own wakej but in the agones of
expiring nature he exclaimed, 81 know it will
