-Four, who say, .SWe have always been de-
mocrats Of the Jeffersonian school, and still ad-
here 10 the same principles.
We voted for Mr.. Van Buren, AT the last Pre-
sidential Election, believing that he was honest
and capable Of performing the duties OF Chief
Magistrate. But we find we have been entirely
mistaken, IN respect 10 his democracy, his capd-
city, and his honesty.
And having Investigated the character and
claims OF William Henry Harrison, we believe
hum 10 be brave man, true patriot, an unwa-
venng Democrat, and the poor mans friend
and we will give him our cordial and undivided
support for the Office Of Chief Magistrate

From The Urbana Citizen.
Fourteen who say that they We're original
supporters of Andrew Jackson, and heretofore
the supporters OF the party now in power have
recently reviewed the acts and principles Of this
administration, and after carefully weighing
them in the balances of reason and truth feel
constrained to say that we can no longer act
with party, the tendency Of whose measures is
10 destroy the vital interests of the people"
They then assign ten substantial reasons why
they shall oppose the reelection of Martin Van
Buren,, and the same number why they now ex-
pect to cast their votes for VIM. H. Harrison.
This is long and cogenr article Here are
their names, dating from Union township.

Ohio, TO be holden at ST. Marys, on the 2Sth

Convention, and who had been looked to as the
candidate OF the Van Buren, party Of his county

We wish that we had room left for his whole
letter, in which he justifes himself most fully in
the following positions, viz:

to all those cardinal principles of democracy by
which il processes to be governed-one which,
in the tendency OF its measures, is fraught with
incaculable danger to the very existence of the
republic; and which seeks, by the elevation of
Chief Magistrate whose acts are condemned by
the almost unanimous voice of the American
people-could that voice be heard in its own I'M
