we hope we have subserved the object of GU,
correspondent by thus bringing his views to the no.
tice Of the public.
10 the "hfss Of the .Sinih Congressional District,
composed Of the Counties Of Caroline, &c.
MY ooJeet in addressing you is, to state n few
PLAIN reasons why we should unite, to a man upon
Col. Coroin, and thus insure his election And j,
becomes the more necessary, think since heard
Mr. Hunters Speech at our last Caroline Com,
which, very much fear. from what can learn. b,s
produced slll more di .senuon in ranks than ex
listed beiore-though see no good reason WIN !,
should have done SO. Ii contained nothing new so
far as | could judge. The same views which n.
has all the while ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the United
States Bank, against the Tariff. against Intern,I
Improvements by the General Government ,,,;r,,
Distributing the Proceeds OF the Public Lands and
fOr the Sub IrtGstry-yes for the Sub Tr.osuy,.
that measure which the WAigS have r.pudi,,ed
and condemned as the most ruinous and d.s,ruct;vs
measure ever proposed to this country-the me,
sure "hieh we, as party think, has most OF all
Others, called down the vengeance OF the American
People upon It's supporters and caused tbep, IN n.
erIcted from oiee with the Scorn and con,.mnt of
the great mass Of their fellow cilizens upon them
the measure which we have said was runing and
would ruin our currency; cause the revenue Of ,L.
country to be stoleni putting the whole of tho inn
meuse revenue int the hands of the Executive IN
corrupt and destroy our Government with. n p.o
sure which we have told the laboring cl,sIes a. H.
community would work their ruin. reduce their wa
ses uo~n 10 from 10 III cents per day. All this
and much more we have said Of il, and / for ore
believed what SAID, and suppose all Other Iyb,ss
believed II 100. And # we did believe and do noIv
believe, what we have said about this measure I
ASK, IN the name OF eonSis sney, how we can sun.
port the man who goes might and main for This w.,
measured Ii We now support Mr. Huntsr The ~
yocate OF this Sub Treasury would II not in ,fTec,
be saying, that while we have been making ali his
clamor against this SAID Sub Treasury we yy,r.
only hum0usgins the ignorant and uninformed3
But some will ask me If | d d not vote for Mir Hun
Ter al the last eccton3 and he did not hold the
same views and sentiments which he now doe>1 /
answer Old, snd that his views are pretty much
the sime-and WAS very well aware of the ,neon
sis'eheY Wen-o"t the case IS now entirely dIffe-
rent-then here were but two candidates IN ,b.
heo, Mr.. Hunter a-d MIR Scott, and choose be.

case endesEored 10 DO the most good which co,id
be done. Now there Is Candidate in the n, d vino
Is with me entirely on all subjects was then n
nuencso oy another eonsdeTh'inn-I was willing

he might see his error and come nearer to us-but

June, addressed to his constituents did the VIM
cause m this District more injury than any and
perhaps, ihsn all other things put together. And
why should II not have done IN IL came from a
man who vas looked upon as a Wing and ~hat
a'd It contain concerning the Wing Candidate}
ANY thing IN praise or commendition7 Noth.ng
Eohns, no hing. So Tar from II, that II Contained
direct preierenee for Mr. Van Buren,, the man who
We believed was using the whole Of ms mighty
power 10 oVeHurn the liberties Of the conntTv-
'her-hy virtually saying TO the people, WHY This
mat the W hgs are charging against Van Buren, and
his Party IS not true; don't believe word NJ !, -
ms Circular OF MIR Hunters was election.errd
whh ny our opponents with great effect-"for see
they would say, mere Is what Wing saws Of Gen
Harrison and mere IS what he says Of Mr. Van Blu
rem ana u wing says this much, much more
must be true" found II, as have no doubt Others
diu, more dhcult 10 reply TO than any thing eIse
coming from that quarter. And this preference so
Tar as can Judge, expressed uncalled for and gra
tuitous-doIng the Wing cause an injury sirbont
any Jusuncnuon whatever, so Gar as can see. And
again, when the struggle came on, and both parties
we're as active as they could possibly be-sayiny 10
the people they believed the Dertes Of the co,,r,,

the same principles for which our fathers Co1gb,
bled and died IN the REVOLUTION, where was Mr.

by his eloquence, his Ia enis and his zeaI the go
Jers on to victory7 And, ALTHOUGH ns;,b., ~
the candidates suited his views exactly, was he net
