Who arc the Barsburners?

AS the wings are very certain that Van
Buren, will make vast inroads upon the
democratic party, it will perhaps do them
good to see definite results as they are
developed. In Tippecanoe county, Indi-
ana, the late election resulted thus:
Doyle, (dem., l,4Ol
Goldsbury, (dem.,) 1862
Mccormick, (whig,) 9l2
Wade, (whig,) 81
Breckenridge, Gree soil, 1876
Lutz, Gree SOIL SIC
Let it be borne in mind that these free
soil candidates were protested democrats.
Now examine the previous votes Of this
county, and see where this vote came from
which is givento these free soil candidates.
In 1914, Tippecanoe stood thus: Clay,
1850; Polk, 1861. In l847, for Con-
gress, the vote stood: for Brier, (whig,
1851; Petit, 1898.
Here it will be perceived that the free
soil democrats have taken off about half
the wing party, whilst they have not af-
iected the democratic vote at all. Let the
editor Of the Journal read this, and trem-
