transcription of 200 o00 Aiens to be ofHccred from
his household, ought net to- have been overlook
ed in so uugracious manner, Only think of IT
for a rAonpent! Gen. Van Bnren's army of so0,~
GAO. would have stricken scrroF and dismay to
the nations Of the "whole world" and a meve
Cen. HUI kind of proclamssiom to the Indians
;rp Florida would have annihilated them with
o,rs firing gun! Besides, whHtgiorious ''black
cocRadc times" we should haNe haA agais,
throughout the county; and heavens mercy
upor, the poor abused whig; wing print
err, especially, chat would have dared to open
his lips, in opposition to any meayare of General
Van Buren, WHAT glorious times the evil spir-
its of rnobocracy would have had in seeing the
wings sied to the Ralberts, and ''catted"-running
the gauntlet besNecn double ranks of 'Edemo-
cratic' soldiers-or strung up, la lanterne--to
say nothing of tSe glorious "diviSton of the
spoilsr among the victors! What fine times
some of the loafers would have possessed!
And this, democratic standing array scheme,
MIR. Van Bhron g could not too strongly recon-
mend 10 the attention of Congress p and as his
plant secretary of war, Mr. Poinsett,r (who still
views it as, the. Napoleon of scheme j has tenn
porarily "tnlkon the responsibility" until Mr.
Van Buren, is reelected, we may reasonably an
tieipate in that event, it will be in cur coun-
try, what it is in other despotisms, an accomPa-
nyment of the hard money system, to- gall the
freeman's month, and if possible crush'the indie
perdant spirit, which still animates the sons, as
it did their s;res in '76.
LIT it not for moment be forgotten, that the
despotic subrtreasury scheme, thrice repudiated
by the people, has at length been fastened on
them by an infamous combination, and the fraud
perpetrated against sovereign state; and that
the reelection Of Mr.. Van Buren,, with. plant
Senate and House of Representatives. will be
seized with avidity as evidence OF the popu-
lar will in flvor the royal scheme of& standing
army, which Mr.. Van Buren, said Che could not
too strongly recommend to the attention OF Con-
gress." Its passage, in that event, sill be as
probable as was that of an act to give the Pre-
sident the entire and sole control of the public
revenue, was two years ago.
7th Whilst every species of falsehood and
calumny have been hcaped, like &C Peliop upon
Ossa," upon the devoted head of the hero of
North Bend, abolitionist, especially, Mr.
Van Buren's official sanction of NEGRO testi-
mony against officers of the army, the servants
or slaves Of their accusers, as bait to concili-
ste the favor Of those fanatics, whilst he pre-
tends to a repudiatioA of their doctrines, seems
not 10 have attracted the attention Of his hiso-
rians.
Has there been no thu1der heard in Richmond,
in condemnation of this diabolical conduct of
our chief magistrate; or has it not reached the
ears or greeted the vision of Richie, the chiyal
ric defender of southern rights Sink or
swim,n this man of &c seven principles" goes
for the enorthern man" with no principles
sth The position in which Mr.. Van Buren,,
the chief magistrate of freq people, has suffered
himself to be placed, by giving willing ear to
charges against officers OF the army, emanating
from score. cabal, not unlike the 'sconfdcn-
tial" untas of the jacobin clubs of revolutionary
France, demanding the ''immediate" dismissal
of the mathematical; and which charges, after
full and patient investigation, have been
branded with the broad official seal of the ex-
aiming court as FALSEHOODS.
These should at least have been noted, and an
effort made to exonerate the plant head of the
democratic" party from the just odium which
virtuous people will attach to the name Of
Van Buren,, so long as foul intrigue and corrup-
ton shall merit public detestation.
This list of distinct traits in Van Buren's cha
racter, which constitutes part and parcel of his
military and civic rirtueS, not noticed by Ken
dali and his photographers, might be disgusting
ly enlarged but there is enough for the present.
Let the people examine these traits-they will
find them true to the letter.-They will afford
means upon which to predicate their action of
freemen at the ballot box in the ensuing contest.
