The Charleston Mercury expresses its I" delibe.
rate conviction" that Mr.. Van Buren, cannot be
elected against Mr.. Clay; that every vote cast
against him in 1910 would be cast against him
again, for that he els just as odious now to the
majority which put him down in 1910 as he was
then" The Mercury further declares: There
is scarcely Southern State which Mr.. Clay
could not carry against Mr.. Van Buren," The
downfall OF the ES-Presdent is ascribed TO his
own" want OF manliness and elevation i'm states.
manship and the utter unpopuari,y Of the men
he brought about him as his confidential advisers :"
SPerhaps the destructive tendency of Mr.. Van
Buren's political principles and policy had some-
thing 10 do with his overthrow. The country had
suffered enough from his injudicious measures tv
render him aud his system alike obnoxious.
But with regard to the Asreury's declarations
and predictions as TO the result of another contest
with Mr.. Van Buren, in the field, they are founded
we believe on accurate perception of facts
His friends however seem TO take different view
oi The matter altogether. They regard Mr.. Van
Buren's defeat in 1910 as the result of fraud and
OF popular debauchery; they do not scruple to
charge the grossest corruption not only upon the
wings, but also upon those Of their own ranks
who were seducrd from their party allegiance;
and they esteem the general intelligence and vr-
Tue OF the people 50 lightly to affirm that null
titudes OF them were induced to abandon their
principles by means of hard cider, log cabin pro-
cessions, the array of coon-skns, songs, and
rawlings called Speeches." To those who think
thus, Mr.. Van Burcn's defeat in 1910 now ap.
pears in the light OF nartyriom; it is his chief
merit and point of advantages; he must be elected
because he has been defeated, in order that demo-
cracy may triumph in a transcendental point of
view.
We have no objettion--not the slightest-,o
put the question Oh this issue. Let it be deter
mined by the next contest whether the revolution
OF 1910 shall be made good, or be siigma,ised as
an outbreak Of popular insanity. Let those who
think that Mr.. Van Buren, has not had justice
done him at the hands of the People prepare to Q
the full measure awarded TO him next year-aud
to that end let them make him the candidate of
their pariy.-BGk. .9m,rican.
