~ have lust read RIP Raps, in the Republican OF
tins evening, and panied 10 see the spirit IN when
written particularly at the manner in which he
,,s,ts Of he expression Of preference by the hume
.pos meetings, in favor Of Mr.. Van Buren,. Was the
w. of Soutb Carolina counted for Mr. Van Buren,, in
,.nd numb,r. in the statement made by "Rip Raps
Is was ri land am pretty sure that 1t was not)
Ia does manifest injustice to him by making the maJo
v 90 large IS 1T is fair to suppose, that the majority 10
s,r,h Carolina was from fifty to sixty thousand and
ms would reduce RIP Raps figures TO less than one
hn,d,sd ,hous md against Mr.. Van Buren,, or about
four par nt on the whole vote cast IN the Presden
ta Elections
III mus, be admitted, that the disgust created by
the unxise and reckless course of the Wing party,
has caused withdrawal Of tenth Of The strength
If ba, party which throws the Democratic party
in the majority Of the elements which made up the
,vo sartes in $780, added to which, must be counted
me s-ea, addition Of strength from voters who have
became qualified since 1910, and who have been left TO
choose between the rotten measures of the Wing party
and The sound principles Of party, untrammelled
BIZ the sragh, laced position of having cast their votes
for The Wing party in $40 The addition OF this vote
anps,rs to have been lost sight of not only by KIP
Rms but all who aid in presenting like gloomy,
tboprh unreal prospects, for Mr.. Van Buren, RIP
R.o: nor any one else, has any right to claim more
r their opinions than others of the Democratic party;
and he ought to give up the matter upon his own hypo
hes,s, that The majority of the Democratic party pre-
IL, Mr. Van Buren,. The question, them ought to pre-
sen, itself to rip Raps, why majority of the party
prefer him to which there can be but one answer
namely tha, they prefer him, because we are led to
think tina, on full survey Of ell the bearings upon the
matter, Mr. Van Buren, is decidedly the strongest,
and consequently best chance for success will be
insured hv running him.
"Bal Rip Raps' says, in substance, not So Your
a,io,ty cannot see things in their true light, and, as
.uh vau ought take The say SO of minority, and
knock under as ridiculous TO suppose that maJo
rty can possibly know much about the true interest
Of Inc party a minority, whose minds are dominated
with the single idea, that nothing short OF the selec
lion of Mr. Calhoun can insure the success OF the
party Keep cool, my dear Sir, is the renewed adj
yce of your very truly friend and obedent servant
I'VE mean to keep cool, and we beg our friends not
10 ear the loss of our "temper." -Enquirer
