Such is the production of member of Mr..
Van Buren's Cabinet!!
Superstitious old women will gloat over this
moral and religious tract, from the pen Of
Amos Kendall; they will (it is no doubt pre-
sumed) persuade their husbands, and children,
and grandchildren, to. vote for Mr. Van Buren,,
and no doubt they will bless its "heaven-
born" author, and petition the next President to
restore him TO his old place in the Cabinet.
But what will MEN think of it? Is there a
manly breast that will justify the motives of an
ex Cabinet minister who tears open afresh the
deep wounds of mourning families, whose hus-
bands and fathers have been recently consigned
TO the silent tomb, and screeches bag like, or
demon like in their ears, that il is just pun
ishment for presuming TO vote against Mr.. Van
await those who shall dare TO oppose him in
1914 For "associating with the profig gate
band" President Tyler is told that the wife OF
his bosom has been torn from him
Such publications may wound-deeply wound
the feelings of those who have been bereayed;
men, and renew the cry of anguish in fami-
lies that have recently sonowed over the loss
of kindred and friends but we cannot see how
they are TO benefit Mr.. Van Buren,, or how they
are to compensate their cruel author.
Mr.. Kendall says it is all "Gods justice ~
IL may be so-but we cannot regard him as
Gods" angel, nor prophet, nor the son OF
prophet, nor yet an inspired e1pounder Of pro-
phecies. And since Mr.. Van Buren's Cabinet
Minister has selected Mr.. Tyler on whom to
shower "God'sn vengeance, we feel disposed
to defy him, to dare him TO do his worst, and TO
dispute his divine authority.
i We bow humbly in the dust to our Creator
We will not yield to Mr.. Kendall in our rever-
ence Of the holy Christian religion but we can
never be made to believe that SCOTS justice'
will ever visit US, or has ever visited any per-
son, with the scourge Of domestic affection, for
opposing the election Of Mr.. Van Buren,
i The rejecting citizen will contrast the pre-.
sent happy state Of the country with its condi-
ton during Mr. Van Buren's Presidential term.
Every branch Of industry, now so prosperous,
was then languishiog. The currency is sound,
and money abundant-hen the one was lamen-
taby disordered, and the other pinchingly
scarce. Expenses were high-they are now
low. DefautcIs abounded-men are now honest.
