FE1Low-CrTIzENs In the conclusion
of my last, drew your attention TO the
Democratic Candidates for Congress, and
the Democratic Papers, aud put the ques.
ton" Out of the whole concern, what
has Mr.. Van Buren, or his friends To hope
Tor !! l will now answer the question.
First, then with reference to the Demo.
cratic Candidates.
Our own Candidate d. s. Reid. Esq. is
Van Buren, man, and TO the utmost ex.
tent of his abilities, will snstain the good
cause. HIS District is unconlaminated
with Calhounism and Modification. The
contest here is between Whigeery and true
Democracy; and the result IN the triumph
OF The latter. rs SO sure, that no Van Buren,
man permits himself TO doubt il, maugre
the idle boastings OF the Bank Federalists.
J. ), Mckay, Of the Wilmington Dis.
trlct was Van Buren, Democrat, and he
may be one yet, but as 10 any service he
renders the Party, he had as well not be
one. Possessed Of powerful intellect, Of
an immense estate, and childless, he stands
aoot, wrapt in the solitude of his own sci.
iishness, contributing but little from the
vast resources OF his intellect, and less
from his overlooking purse, to advance our
cause. lie has the means, wiihou, miss.
ing them, to establish u Van Buren, paper
at once, and to give il prompt aid by his
own contributions. And now, in behalf
OF our Party, call upon him % do it, if he
be a Democrat good anu true-and TO do
II forthwith. Ii he will not do this, let
nm give place 20 some one more worthy,
who will at least do something more than
nurse ms sinecure OF SIS per diem.
