language OF the Circular omnous Of the fate Of Mr.

We do but exercise n right, which we hold in common
with all free citizens when attempt public
opinion upon tie man Of choice. We are aware that
IN advocating the pretcnsiOns any other man than Mr.
Van Buren,, Of the strongest preju

defeated ia 40, with him pride whispers should
But is the part Of wisdom TO risk all the great and fun
danenal principles Of the Democratic party upon the for
unes OF an individual whose success, IN the Of his
nomination, would be extremely pTobematcal Mr.. Van
Buren, has never yet Oblncd the Of Ohio for the Pre-
sdency; aud is firmly believe by most sagacios poll
cans that he cannot IN any contingency, succeed either
