when it becomes unfit for use; and yet
knowing that PoLK's election would lead
TO war with Mexico and the annexation Of
! Texas, Dir. VAN buren, and John his son
aud Silas, entered the contest for Polk,
carried him, John says, into the chair,
and annexation followed. War with Mex
leo folIowed-heids strewn withthe brave
DEAD, their bones gnawed by the bear and
wolf and their flesh torn by the fierce vul-
lture-cities in women and chl'
dren mangIed with chain shot, in heca-
,ombs around the affairs of Catholic Mex
ico-her daughters were violated by the
very soldiers of the administration whom
Mr.. VAN buren,, John, & SILAs WEIGHT,
helped elect; and now Mr.. VAN BpREN is
10 be voted into the Presidency by the
Abolition, ant-N ar and antl-Slavery Par
ty, on plea that he will let the soil stolen
| from Mexico remain as they find It-free
and this too, while they acknowledge
that bis deeds of wickedness for the slave
power ought TO suspend him from the limb
OF tree. Yet they will go him for that
rascalty Observation-Disclosures which
they have dashed the friends Of General
TAYLOR SO much. Is it not most glarng-
ly distinct, that if MIR. Folks measures
can be held responsible for annexation and
the war, that VAN buren, is responsible
for the whole, for his son John claimed
in his speech in this city, the whole credit
of his election, for his father, SILAs
WRIGHT, and himself Now the Hale
men ought to show their horror of this
war, by making President one, who, of all
others, had the power to prevent this war,
and did not; but used his whole strength
to secure his election. Did any body ev>
er hear the Abolitionists stretch Van b.
rem on the rack for his violation of the
mails, for his pledge to sustain Slavery in
the District of Columbia, and thereby that
Internal slave-trade-for his deep and
darlning crime of wishing to immediate
the Amistad captives at the bidding Of his
southern trusieesl And then wont it be
beautiful with moral sublimity, TO see
these dyed in the wool' Abolitionists
flinging up their caps, and taking the
stump for the Undertook Magician?

TIN was a magician, but think | shall

can he be if he can transfer these "moral
heroes" the old "assassins" of HENRY
CLAY for conscience sake" into the stu

J. P. HALE,
Though not correct representative of
the Abolitlonists of the North, yet in
and heightened moral courage
is far above Mr.. VAN RUREN. He will, [
doubt not, be sold out by his friends in
this Convention TO the highest bidder.
Their INSCRIPTIONS companions with
whom they meet will pat in for the lions
share, and if Mr.. VAN buren, is not NOM
mated will still go for him, as the surest
means of defeating CAss; and if l am
lot deceived that gentleman will find him /
elf betrayed by the men who betrayed /
heir own principles and chose him on
he ground of availability.

hey are in hot water, and if they support
Mr.. Van buren, and the election goes in |
to the House of Representatives they will |

BUREN's friends in the House go for TAY-

To this Wings won't object. Of course,
as they are suspected of favoring the cleo
