We rejoice, we do from our hearts re
Jolce that the mass of Mr.. Calhoun's
friends and, with them thousands whom We
have not counted as his supporters, have
beer aroused to view the great question,
before the country as they deserve. The
game of the politicions is the basest, least
erect of any ever attempted TO be played
before the country. 1t is thus that Mr.
Amos Kendall protaned same time ago:
"No, no; give US no half ray justice
By policy OF that sort, we shall lose q
thousand times more in honest enthusiasm
than we can gain from cold and selfish
policy. Give full and fair array Van
Buren, and Democracy against Clay Fed
erahSm. Such an array will give us a
fair trial upon principle, trial which will
strip Federalism of its Wing alias and ex-
clude II from power until 1t can sneak in
under some other name. This will be a
victory worth the labor and toll; victory
which would inspire the young Democrat
with new hopes and make the aged and
faithful veteran in the cause, feel some
thing like Simeon of old when, on sight
of the infant Saviour, he exclaimed, Now,
Lord, let thy servant depart in peace, for
mine eyes have seen thy saIvaton.'
Now we say That Mr.. Cahoun's friends
go into Thu struggle with no such motives.
We disapproved democrats as we were...
jackson men OF an older date than Mr..
Van Buren, or Mr.. Richie or Mr.. Benton
or Mr. kendall-.of the removal ofthe de.
posites, the pet bank system and the ex-
punging resolution. We approved the
independent Treasury, and stood firm
against the array Of pet banks and wings
in 1910. We are perfectly satisfied with
our conduct then and now. We have ex-
pressed objections to Mr.. Van Buren--ob-
jections that weighed with us ihen.-.ob.
jeciions that were freely canvassed. We
opposed the army bill, the bankrupt law
against corpora ions--.and, above all, we
groancd at the countenance given to de-
tauters---to the spoiIs principe .-to the
appointment of Judge Daniel TO the su-
preme court.
MIR, Van Buren, has done mischief, great
mischief. 10 the democratic party. Look
at that noble party in 1929. Who were
its members? Who were the authors of
that glorious revolution to bring reform
tina! we all hoped to witness? Calhoun,
TazewelI, Rfves, Archer, Tyler, Ran
doIph, Mangum, Badger, Swain, McDufIie,
Hayne, Cooper, Hamilton, Turnbul, Ell.
hot, Berrien, Cobb, GiImer, Dawson,
Crawford, Clayton, Gayle, Lyon, Lewis,
White, Bell, Foster, Rowan, Bib, Louis
McLane, Reverdy, Johnson, TaIlmadge,
Spencer. What is its condition now?-}
Most OF these great men, who are now
living, prefer the administration of CLAW TO
MIR. Van Buren,, or stand as neutrals.
Prescribed and driven off, In many in.
stances, upon insignificant grounds, ap
parently.- the substantial ground being in
many instances their refusal to wear the
collar. They did not bow to party dis.
ciplnc, and that was their crime. Sins
like those of Wright and Buchanan are
venlal: sins like those OF Judge White and
MIR. RlveS are unpardonable. Now we
say we will recognize no such standard
Of orthodoxy. This hour we would vote
for either Rives, Berren, Preston. Man
gum, or any other anii.tariff man, before
we would for Wright or Buchanan. We
ire sick and tired of that system that ex.
'els from our party its ornaments and
bride, to place 1t under the domination of
3entrn, Allen, Richie, Blair and Inger.
oIl-men who came to the support of
GENERAL jackson alter his popularity had
'een established and his success certain.
We say, then, if Mr.. Van Buren, and
lis friends wish to make this contest a
PERSONAL one-if they rally on the mon
trous and atrocious declaration we quote
rom MIR. kendall.-.if they seek to con.
erl this contest into penilentiaI confess
ion by the people of their sin in $780,.
We cannot render any assistance-uppos
d as we have Leea u Mr.. Ciay-con.
lnced as we are that he is a vindictiye.
npercilious, overbearing nun, who has his {
rudge TO satisfy-Oppossd as we are to
IL his policy, we prefer TO incur The risks
hat may result from separate organiza.
ION and an Independent candidate, to the
ersonal dishonor which an entrance into
lch contest will involve.
1t Mr.. Van Buren, and his friends will :
ONE forward and maintain the pledges /,
hey gave IN 1910, VIC will yield our pre-.
renee for Mr. Calhoun for this contest
