gracefully and had word for almost every one who took
him by the hand. We particularly pleased to see
with what familiarity he greeted the children; how graf
flied both parties appeared to be- and how much respect
he paid to the aged and the hard handed His personal
bearing is very winning and wherever he goes he can

him available. Thus you drop all your principles and

''We have a report that Hon. Martin Van Buren, has con-

We do not believe this rumor. Mr.. Van Buren, must
first repudiae all the liberal principles which he ever
supported in his letters, messages and in conversation
before he could consent to place himself upon this plat
form. Some of the barnburners are facous, and may
to any exreme but such cannot be the course of
''the northern with southern principles" The re-
port however, scarcely deserves contradiction; for it
implies gross SANDER upon Mr.. Van Buren,.
