candidates such Martin Van Buren, Marcus Morton
for President and Charles Allen Columbus Dolano for
Vice President, New York. Ohio Massachusetts, and Yer
mont least could be carried the election thrown into
the House, the abolition of freedom in the terri ofies
prevented, and really northern elected in 1852"
We regard these signs of the times with the greatest
establishment That Martin Van Buren, should permit
himself to be named in the category with abolition
lists and whgs--that his friends should ever dream OF
carrying him before convention At Buffalo, where he
might be placed in competition with John p Hale for
the honor of such nomnation--is combination that
never would have entered into the most exravagan i'm
agnaton. Il is strange Horace describes
in his Art of Poetry;
Suppose painter to a human head
Should JON horses neck. and wildly spread
The variois plumage of the fsathered kind
Ger limb, OF different beasts, absurdly joined;
Or. If he gave to view a bcauteous maid,
Above the waist with every charm array'd,
Should foul fish her lower parts unfold
Would you not laugh such pictures to behold Il
Such is tie book (Mass) that like sick mans Dreams
Varies all shapes, and merges all extremes.
The "CinGnnat Enquirer of the 24th referring to the
late transactions at Utica, speaks of them with astonsh
men and contends that Mr. Van Buren, cannot consent
to have his honor furnished by actous and vile uses
We much mistaken in his character if he does &C
cept the nomination rendered to him by the Utica con-
venton man whose whole life has been identified
with the and contests of the great democratic
party OF the whole Union, cannot certainly assent to
the factous course OF integral portion OF the party
in single State, and permit his name to be used
for the avowed purpose of disractng the party else
where. We have always felt regard for Mar
tin Van Buren, No person lamented more than our
selves his defeat in the Baltimore convention OF
1874 but if he does permit his be used as pro-
posed all of our regrets will be banished and no doubt
it will be the with all who have felt have
the subject II his views sectional in their char
acer or if his motives those of recrimnaton is
well that he did not again receive the nomination. AS
Father Richie says-Nous verrons."
Mr.. Van Buren, may not accept the nomination; but
what shall we then say of his course and his letter
Yet since writing this remark, the Cincinnati Enquirer
will find, as do, from the language of the Albany
Atlas and the New York Evening Post, that Mr. Van
Buren, has authorized them to use his name for that
pwpose.) AS to Gen. Dodge. he sees the company in
which he be placed, and doubt that he
will never "consent to have his honor furnished by
factious and vile uses"
