member that tho old Democrats, then
called Republicans, refused to have any
thing to do with it.-.-Mr Napbtail Judah,
Mr.. Ebert Herring. Mr.. Sylvanus Miller,
and many others now alive who were at
the memorable supper, must remember
it. The old Republican party said, 1--WE
prefer abiding our timei when we secure
a victory it will be a permanent one"
Mr.. Clinton became the federal candidate
for President against Mr.. Madison, and
had Van Buren, in the boat with him.
The old democracy nominated Daniel D..
Tompkins, swept the State and elected
Madison, and our bucktail flag floated
proudly to the breeze. So much for a.
voiding corr1ptions. Mr.. Van Bnren,
when he found Clinton in the minority,
jumped into canoe and padded over to
US, and we had to take him nor he would
have gone over the dam. Poor Clinton,
ten years afterwards, said to US; "Mind
what predict--you are all opposing me
-opposing the great internal projects of
the State. aud rallying round Van Buren,
He will get all he can out of you, and
when there is nothing left to give he will
leave you" How prophetic! How per-
fecily true! Mr.. Van Buren, and his al
lies not only broke down the regular
nomination of the Democratic party. but
actually, by joining the Abolitionists,
struck blow at the union of the States!
They went over to the Wing party and
said, I'VE are Free Soilers-we come to
your aid, and intend TO put down the
Democratic party" The Wings said
"Go ahead" They started Van Buren,
as third candidate, ran Cass overheard
elected General Taylor, aud then said
to the Wings. "Didn't we do the clean
,hingl--Pay u.s." The Wings looked al
them with amazement. "Pay you?' Why
were you not volunteers from principle
Pay you2 Why, you we're working with
our tools. rolling our thunder. Pay you'll
Nonsense!" Finding there was nothing
to be had by speculation, Mr.. Van Buren,
says. "Let's go back to our old party and
unite with them. Well get something
out ofthem.' And the Democrats smart
