These numbers are from the pen of a gentleman
who acted prominent part in favor of the Whig
partyin 1910, but who now comes out and open

Neao Orleans Election. 1t has turned out that
the certificates Of naturalization granted by Judge
Elliott just before the election in New Orleans,
are VALID and the election OF Mr. SlidelI, the dem
ocratic candidate, has been unanimously declared
legal by both parties in the Legislature. So the
cry of the Wings about Impeachment and cor

JUSTICE TO MR.. VAN BUREN.

In the Presidential campaign of 184o Charles
Manly, John H. Bryan, George w. Haywood,
Hugh MCQUEEN, William H. Battle, Weston R:
Gales, Thomas J. Eemay. and Henry W. Miller,
the Wing Central Committee of North Carolina,
charged thar Mr.. Van Buren was opposed to the
late war. The following is the language they
employed on the occasion: = ''> - --.--
I0 the late GoGr, arbich has been rery proper
ky called "Owr second ao0r for indeyemdence"---
toRach scGs fought for " free trade and sailors
rights'-MR. VAN BUREN WAS OPPOSED"
This charge is contained in an Address to the
people Of North Carolina" signed by the above
gentlemen, and wrItten>by the Hon.. George E.
Badger Yes, written by an individual who was
himself opposed to the late war, and who, in 1925
labored to put down the principles he supported
in 1910. Well may Mr. Badger exclaim Oh
that had never written book |"
But what are the facts in the case ? These gen.
tlemen charged that Mr. Van Buren was opposed
to the late war, and this charge his never been
retracted. Is the charge true2 No. 1t is false
throughout, false in the whole and false in every
particular. Mr.. Van Buren, was a bold and ar
dent supporter of the war. But we do not ask the
people of North Carolina to take our word for it.
We have the testimony of prominent Whig of
the Stale of New York in favor of Mr.. Van Bu-
ren and against those who have charged him here
and elsewhere With being opposed to the late war.
and we now present this testimony. The CORES
pondence will explain itself:

A NEW ,GODl

In the songs and speeches of the Whig orators,
in nearly all they say and do in connection with
Henry Clay, they treat him as a superior intei.
gence, and some of them have even gone so far as
to pronounce him God! A few weeks since
we saw song passing through the Wing prints
and we believe it was published in the Register
in which the "chorister" said, that although Mr..
Clay was " in form a man."
CHE LOOKED GoDl"
Another Wing has called him The Republic
pers0nltGed," and thousands of Others in the reck
lesness and blindness of an unaccountable nflua
ton, have pronounced him &c the cause and the
man, ~" the greatest of all human beings" and the
anticipated "redeemer ofthe country" Now what
is all this but man-worship? 1t tears God from
his throne, and sets upa poor fraiI mortal in his
stead, as the object of worship and alteration Let
the christians of the country reflect upon the fol-
lowing. 1t is taken from the latter part of the
twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles:
And upon set day, Herod, arraycd in royal
apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an Grafton
unto them. And the people gave shout saying
~ t"S"IeC COt@c ~ u OOO, 0NGI DOL " u WUH AU
Immediately the angel oflhe Lord smoe him, be-
cause he gaze not. God the glory; and he was
eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost"
Here is an awful account given by the pencil
of Divine Truth, of the destruction Of one who suf
fered the people to hail him as God, and who,
in the pride and arrogance of power, "gave not
God the glory" Look at the conduct Mr. Clay
at Mobile and New Orleans He entered both
those cities on the Sabbath, and was hailed by the
people with shout saying, he comes the re-
deemer and deliverer of the country Fit echOO
the words of the song,
';'HE LooKED A GoD!"
And did this political eIectioneerer, this travel
ling specch-malser," this god of the modern whlg
party "gioe God the glory' in violating the Sab
bath
Is it wonderful after al al these things-after tho
excitement and revelries of 184O-afer the pro-
cesaions, and shouts, and dissipation which marx.
ed that period-after these repeated violations ol
the Sabbath, and such open and daring insults o.
fered to Heaven ITSELF that misfortunes and JudG
ments have fallen on the country?
