man in the South Of such an opinion? Mr..
Van Buren, avowed it as clap trap TO catch the

: But let US progress in the analogy, or rather
want of similarity in their conduct and senti-
, ments. Mr.. Van Buren, voted instructions, when
member Of the Senate of New York, to the
Senators and Representatives in Congress, TO
: vote against the admission Of Missouri into the
: Union. Has that vote ingratiated him with
the South? What did Gen. Harrison dot
l Although a member of Congress from free
} State, he voted with the South for the admission
/ ol Missouri, and made patriotic sacrifice Of
himself for the South and for ,helUnion. Will
the South reward him now with ingratitade and
denunciaton?
Mr. Van Buren, voted in the New York Con-
ventlon in favor Of the right, and by his inAu-
Ience secured the passage of the measure, for
Tree negroes to vote in that State. Are such the
views OF the South, and has that vote made the
South revere him as Northern man with
Southern principles? have been in Ontario

will not charge Mr.. Van Buren, with being
an aboltionist. But will say that he is just
the kind of man who has the ability and the
will to so shape his course, and to spread his
net, as to take the majority of them to himself.
II becomes his policy to conciliate them. And
here will venture a prediction, that Col. r. NJ.
Johnson, who said in the debate on the Missou-
ri Question, February l, 1920, that SIN the Dis
trict Of Columbia, containing population of
10000 souls, and probably as many slaves as
the whole of Missouri, the power Of provldingI

views Of Gov. Tyler are so we'll known. For
the latter stands upon the high patriotic and
democratic ground Of defending the right of

will be run in all the Northern and Middle

and all It's staples, to half they were when he
assembled the Executive chair?
Y Is his informing the Congress Of the United
