I, suffrage, together with his opposition 10 ~
admission OF slaves into the territory OF Ar
fIkansas and Florida, so complete identified I'm
with the abolition interest that the fanatics
were embroidered BY his promotion TO or

II south
i IL Mr. Van Buren did not warm them into

bc by the time OF lis display--a perloi which
would certainly have dsruptedtk Union aud
sacrificed The institutions Vi domestic sefvltude
had il moi have been Tor the timely succor OF
such pntrols as William Henry llarrlSon.--
This obliviousness produced & more combined
and formidable acIl0n; heace1he spread ui alb
clifton lenels, and the audaclty OF those who
embrace them.
A part OF The system Of the ahoIitonists is 10
denounce the Wing candidate i'rthe Pfeslden-
cy. in Inc North, asa friend 10 slavery 10 he
South; whilst The southern tory press hold hun
up as ainenublc to The charge OF negropaoilsdI
They have an assurance OF the lrlendshlpol
Mr.. Van Buren, ID IhtlrdeSgns, in his ais, an
are perfectly willing that The. South should be
Juped into his support, by empty professions
made to catch gudgcons he tories III ms
latitude rave over mutlated extracts from
speech Of Gen Harrison's, to arouse the fears
ofthe South; whilst their allies in the North
elect the head aud front ol the negrophoIsls,
Marcus Morton, 10 the gucernatoraI chair oil
Massachusetts, and vote for Gerrit Smith, and
such rabid emunciputlonists, for u. S. Senator
aud other high offices. The leading admins
ration presses atthe North such as the Foe
ling Post, at New York, the PennSyCaniaR, at
&c, are abolition dyed In the
yool"-this the fanatics knew, and for this
hey sustain the administration. The admins
ration, rendered desperate by the prospect of
eleal coaIesce readily with the northern abo-
ilionisls, and court their supporI by comforting
ffice upon members of their party. Mean
While, The Globe manufactures articles for
ou;hern consumption, which are caught up
" kindred prints and circulated for gos
,el.
BY this combined movement of the abolition.
SIS and Van Buren, tories, the South is to bel
in the support Of the administration,
md the North brought back into the fold by the
Of Office. The question naturally
arises as TO the propriety Of deterrng the cleo
ion for congress in this State one year in order
o give Louisiana II fall rep esentalon IN con
yress based upon the census about to be taken
nat she may be fully represented, IN vrse the
coalition should make bolder demons ration
n he,naiiona legislature. The members cho'
sen next July do not take their seats until De
.ember l84l consequently the posponemen
of the election I'LL July l84l, will give abundant
lime for he delegates toassume their labors al
he opening oil the next congress.
These reasons appear 10 US as welghty and
:onclusivc--at any rate, i is proper that the
senate should decide upon them as soon as prac-
icable lib.
