MR.. VAN BUREN-FREE TRADE.

The friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,, at the South,
strenuously maintain that he is opposed to the
protective policy, and appeal to his Indiana let
ter to sustain them in their assertions-while
his Northern friends with equal confidence, ap-
peal to it in support of high tariff. We can
feel no surprise at these opposite conclusions
about matter which was intentionally left in
obscurity. Mr. Van Buren, never enjoyed any
very great reputation for the perspicuity of his
thoughts particularly upon those subjects which
public opinion has not settled beyond controversy.
Perhaps his Sub Treasury scheme may form a
single exception to this remark; but his uncondi-
tional committal of himself upon that question
may be accounted for, and his anomalous con-
duct in that instance reconciled with his wonted
caution. He was doubtless led into that diff
fculty by Benton-not directly, or without the
Magician's foreseeng the trouble that awaited
him; but Benton humbugged Gen. Jackson into
his hard money scheme, and Gen. jackson droue
Van into it. But to the tariff.
The friends of Mr.. Van Buren, held meeting
at Albany, in 1927, for the purpose Of giving
expression to their views in relation to the tariff
Of 1924, which they pronounced too low, and al
together inadequate to the protection of the
manufacturing interests They avowed them
selves warmly in favor of the American system
OF protection, and insisted upon higher rate
of duties. Mr.. Van Buren, was present, taxi
ing part in the proceedings, and " out Herod-
ed Herod " in the avowal of anti-free trade
opinions.
We append the following extracts from his
speech upon the occasion, to show that we have
not misrepresented him.
Mr.. Van Buren, said
"That having now stated, as fully as the
time would admit, his general views upon the
subject, his opinion of the settled policy of the
State as to the propriety and expediency OF
afordng Legislative projection to the manutactur-
ing interests of the country, by temperate and
wise, and, therefore, salutary laws, and his req
diness to aid TN the passage Of all such la,Os, he
would trespass for few moments" &c.
Further, he remarked:
He owed many thanks to the meeting for
the very kind attention with which he had been
listened to by gentlemen, between many of
whom and himself there had, upon public mat
tiers, been difference of opinion of long standing.
His situation in reference to the wool-growing
interest was well known to most of them. He
had at present invested more than $4,000 IN
SHEEP, and farms devoted, and which he meant
to devote, to that business. He felt all proper
concern for HIS OWN INTEREST, and would, Of
course cheerfuly unite in all suitable measures
for its advantage"
In pursuance of the views thus strongly ex-
pressed, Mr.. Van Buren, a few months after vot-
ed for the tariff of 1928, which was ten per
cent. higher than the present, and which Mr..
Calhoun and his friends called the /" bill of abom-
nations"

AN ENRAGED ELEPHANr-Two KEEPERS IN
JURED.-Raymonds Menagerie, which has been
for some days in this city, left yesterday morning
for Camden, on the way to Woodbury. and other
towns Before the elephants had left the city,
it appears that the keeper of "Columbus" one
of the largest was compelled to chastisc the ami
NAL to subdue his refractory spirit For this
purpose he made use Of long stick with hook
at one end, with which, as we are informed, one
of the elephants ears was lacerated After
crossing the Delaware, and while on the way to
the Cricket Ground Camden, where the menag.
erie is to be exhibited, the elephant seized the
stick with his trunk, broke off the hook, attacked
his keeper, and threw him to considerable
height and distance. A second keeper then
came up, and endeavored to overcome the rage
of the furious animal, but this man he also seized,
mangled, and tossed in the air. large dog
then flew at the elephant and soon quieted him.
We regret to learn that both the keepers are Sc
riously injured, and some doubt s entertained
for the recovery of one of them. The most emf.
nent surgeons in Camden were Immediately sent
for, and every attention was paid to the condi
ton of the unfortunate suferers-Philad. Ing

LEAVING THE STAGE.-The friends of the
drama, in New Orleans. have rendered Mr.. For

invitation he says: 81 fondly indulge the hope
that, during my next professional visit to New
Orleans-and it probably may be ny last, as my
wishes and nclinations have for some time tended
towards other pursuits than those which pertain
to the stage-an opportunity will be afforded for
social interchange Of those kindly sentiments,
which have reason to believe, as man and boy,
have existed between the friends of the drama
in this city and myself for nearly twenty years."
The FAMILY OF SMITHs.--A writer in the

Smiths number 300. The Postmaster, the Col

the Cashier of the bank, the principal merchant,
all bore the uncommon name of JOHN SMITH !!
He adds, rather obviously, that "what were the
names of some of them in the States it would be
hard to tell"

Political ELECTROMAGNETIC Agitation Increa-
SEES in intensity.

The agitation of the Presidential question con-
tlnues to increase in intensity as the day of final
and rrevocable settlement approaches. As we
have already intimated, from careful review of
the recent elections, from the present aspect of the
popular feelings, and all the indications which pre-
sent themselves IN the horizon, have every rea-
to believe that the democrats are increasing in
enthusiasm, hope, and expectation. In fact, the
locofocos appear to be on the verge of Madness in
the intensity of their enthusiasm. On the other
hand, the wings, some portions of them at all events,
appear to be sinking into dependency sensible of
their precarious condition, whilst others are endea-
vorng, by every possible means, to stimulate the
dropping spirits and tagging energies Of their hosts
so as avoid the reverses which threaten them on
the day OF trial. The papers of both parties are
full of rallying cries the faithful of each camp
all of charges against their respective oppo-
nents, great variety of appeals for conventions,
mass meetings, organization, and all methods of
bringing the people out at the polls
But the only tangible point which can guide
men of sense in the present confused position of
things is that afforded by observation of the actu-
al results of the recent elections, as compared with
former results. This is the only mode by which
any degree of rational conjecture can be got at,
respecting the probable result of this exciting and
extraordinary contest Adhering then strictly to
this philosophy of history, even applied to the
ephemeral political excitement of the day, we
have endeavored TO state to the public the exact
position of things as indicated by the recent cleo
lions, and many of our contemporaries have fol-
lowed in the same track. On late occasion we
had reason to differ with the Journal of Com
mecc relationo the result of the recent elections
and we perceive that the Journal of yesterday has
a general reply to US and 10 the Courier on that
point, and appear to make endeavor to fortily
its ground by new statement, arriving, however,
al a similar result TO that which we showed to be
erroneous. After replying to the Courier e. En-.
guirer and the Herald, and attempting to defend
Itself against the charge of unfalrness, which we
made ont against 1t, the Journal ustifies itself by
the production of another statement of the results
of the recent elections in twelve of the States as
compared with the results in the same States in
1910. Here il is -
