ton, but they are prepared to support
him should he be nominated.
But let us examine the circumstances
under which MIR. Van Buren, was dciea-
ted at the election in 1870. We cannot
but feel deeply mortified when we recur
to the disgraccful and revolving means
resorted to by our opponents to carry
that election. 1t is not at all copgenial
to our feelings to recur to the scenes oil
that day-we would that they were bu-
ried in the obivious ocean Of forgetiu!-
ness--but we feel called upon under ex-
stjng circumstances to refer to them,
in order to answer the second objection.
as stated above. We maintain that the
popular voice was not fairly expressed at
the last election. Our opponents made
no avowai of their political sentiments.
The passions of men, rather than their
judgements. were addressed. Thousands
were captiyated by the unmeaning -four
ish Of -ra5Tns, cider barrels. coon
tails, sc. Add to these powerful incite-
ments, the preconcelved and deep laid
schemes of fraud, carried into effect by
cur opponents, in their maddened deter
rnination to elect their man at all haZ-
ards. In view of these facts, we are OK,
ceedingiy anxious to see another test Of
the matter. Inthe approaching contest
the Wings cannot dodge their principles:
unless, indeed, they select some other
man than Mr.. Clay; one who could sue
cessfully act the nom committalist. The
recent state elections decidedly conden-
ned the measures of the Wings, and we
feel confident that the next election will
again place the Republican party in pow
err. Such are our sentiments.

WOOD 1EOCE:
THURSDAY, JUNE IS, l843.

IKE PREsIDENcY.-In our last we
briefly stated some of the difficulties
that require immediate ard permanent
adjustment--chlefy in regard to the
time at which the National Convention
should meet-if the Republican party
would unite in supporting The man whom
popular sentiment shall indicate as their
most suitable candidate.
1t is our purpose now-withou in the
least endeayoring to tgsparage the Claims
of Ma Calhaxr-to rocced briefly and
timpartSny to answer the principal OBJ
jections which have been urged by the
supporters of Mr.. Calhoun, against the
propriety of again bringing Mr.. Van b.
rem before the people for the next presi-
dency.
We are not aware that any Of Mr.. C.'s
friends have questioned Mir. Van Bu-
ren's political qualifications to fill! with
dignity and honor to himself aad the
country, the Office Of president. But
they urge that he is ineAigihe:-1st. Be-
cause hs.hns ol/eady served one term
9dly. Because he has beenonce defeated.
In regard to the first objection, we re-
mark, that Gen. Washington, Mr.. JEFF
ferson, Mir. Monroe, MIR. Madison, and
Gen. Jackson each served two presiden-
tial terms. If 1t was not violation Of
the spirit OF the constitution for those
just named to be elected to the pre-.
sidency twice, why should Mr.. V. B. be
considered inellig ible because he has al
ready served one term? If the doctrine
advanced by Mr.. Madison, contained in
lis letter to MIR. lngersoll, in which he
justifies himself for signing the bill re-
charter;ns The National Bank, upon the
groand Of precedent, be correct, then, in
deed, is the first objection entitled no
consideration whatever. The one term
principle was started by the Federal par
ty. And why? Simply because, in
the first place, they COULD NOT eject ara
Of Their candidates second time. In the
second place, their late president, Gen.
Harrison, they knew would be utterly in
capable. from his advanced aged and in
firmly, to serve more than once This
cannot be said of Mr.. Van Buren,. In
mind and body, SO far as we are prepared
to judge, he maintains his former health
and vigor. But it is unnecessary TO say
more upon this head.
What does the second objection-viz:
that Mr.. Van Buren, was once defeated
amount to-? Does he not at least stand
on an equal footing with Mr.. Calhoun
here Mr.. Calhoun was himself once
defeated under peculiar circumstances,
though; the popular vote being divided
as to prevent a constitutional choice
Mr.. Van Buren's friends might with just
as much ?ropriety and consistency ob-
ject to his being again Drought before the
people. They will not do so, however.
They are no. only willing that Mr. 6. s
name may be brought before the CONVEX

the necessity OF peace with America.
All this Is, with great zairetc, very I'M

The plea upon which this has been

King to be sent for from Maui, deman-

purpose Of presenting certain demands
for redress on the part of British sab

requirement, would have been complete
iy cut off from his advisers, and as it was
believed that it was the intention Of his
Lordship TO betray him into some lijud-
sed act or admission. the private inter

This proposal was declined by his Lord
ship with great discourtesy; the charac-
ter Of the Kings advisers aspersed, and
certain peremptory demands presented,
with a threat Of attacking them in case Of
non compliance, within twenty four
hours. These demands, to which the
King was thus required to yield without
a hearing, were arbitrary in the extreme

In the meantime tie frigate Carysfort

Ventilated in hostilities, the shortness Of
the time allowed TO the Government for
deliberation on the demands. (now Tor the
first time presented, and 10 foreign res.
idents to seek an ASYLUM, would have
been the subject of just and indignant
protest by the respective parties.
| As the King had no means of elfectual
resistance, and was moreover unwilling to
provoke hostilities, he yielded to all his
Lordship's acquisitions within the time
prescribed, under protest of embracing
the earliest opportunity OF representing
the case to Her Britanic Majesty.
Under the demands thus complied
with, the King was forced to acknow!-

refused to recognise for legitimate rea-

made on Tuesday, the second day Of the session,

offered to read to the House, Mr.. Wise among
other arguments, advanced one which was GER
Itainly novel !; be, took the position that there
was no House until the Speaker was elected'
and therefore. oheree could be no journal of the
House; erso,hthcre was no journal TO amend.
This was announced with, an air Of confidence,
which plainly indicated that he deemed his ar

that as, the House was required to electa Speak
er, The inference was, that the House had an
existence prior TO the election Of Speaker This
puzzled Mr.. Wise not a little; bat he slill in-
sisted that the members Of that House wercnot

Barnard inquired how the members could elect
a Speaker, which they were, required to do as q
