Shortly af,cr the Treaty had been signed and

THE PRESIDENCY-THE RESTORA.
TlON

The principle upon which the denomination
and reelection of Mr. Van Buren are claimed
by the Globe, Richmond Enquirer, &c, &c, is
that wrong was done in 1910 by his defeat,
from which he must be indicated II is in
short the ground upon which all restorations have
been made. VENGEANCE is the watcbword, and
the People, who overthrow him, are to be the
victims. IL is important that the voters of the
country should be fully apprsed Of the extent Of
this principle, and the results TO which il inevi-
tably leads, before the heat and confusion OF
the conflict preclude all opportunity for calm in
vestgatiop.
II wrong was done Mr.. Van Buren, in 1910,
II was shared by Col Johnson as well as all the
members of the Cabinet and he various minor
officers Of the Government Col Johnson,s
claim TO a reelection to the Vice Presidency.
therefore, is equally strong with Mr.. Van Blu
ren's. Will this claim be recognized If so,
what becomes Of MIR Stevenson, Mr.. King,
Col. Polk, and other gentlemen who have been
named in connection with that post If not,
with what justice or consistency can Mr. Van
Buren, make lschrymose exhibition to the PEG
pie, Of the wounds he received in that encoun-
teri Will the People not be indignant at the
hypocrisy, and scod at the "principIe" of his
pretensions VIII they not inquire, 4" what
has the gallant veteran Of the Thames done, that
he should be refused the same measure of Justice

But, as we have already minated, the .prin.

THE OREGON QUESTION.

This question is still before the Senate, and
we believe several Of Mr.. Bentons followers
have yet to speak on it. We cannot but regard
the agitation Of the subject at this particular june
ture, when steps have been taken by the Exc
cutiye (the only treaty forming power) to bring
the whole matter to a final settlement, as an in
dignity to the President, gratuitously insulting
to the British Government, and 4 gross imposi-
lion on the American People
II is the trick of demagogue. And if MIR.
Benton should make any capital for himself out
Of the movement, it can only be done by max
ing other Senators the humble slaves of his am
bition. He may increase his own popularity in
one or two of the Western States, at the ex-
pense Of twice the number lost to the Demo
cratic party elsewhere. The movement cannot
possibly convert a single W hig bot it will
esuange thousands of Democrats
Mr.. Benton is a bold man He knew that
the timid Senators who are now favoring his
project, would never had done so, had he not led
the way. But, we repeat, the whole movement
is demsgogue's trick. The design was a
double one. FRS, to acquire an accession of
personal popularity at the expense of the party,
and second, 10 strike at Mr.. Calhoun MIR.
Calhoun's views were known, and Mr.. Benton
has resorted to this uick to prejudice the West
against him. The result will be, that while
one or Two Western States will approve Mr.
Benton's course, thousands and tens of thou
sands of rejecting Democrats in the South,
East, and North, will abandon the party.
