behold, who should be in the chair but AARON BURR!
Yes and if he had been in this country at the time
doubt not but the nert highest officer of the meet

party to be composed of the good and patriotic of
all parties! How captivating Yes, Messrs. Edi-
tors being aware that they have succeeded in elect
ing their President for the last time under the name
CT Whig-the fraudulent manner in which they
elected Gen. TAYLOR having been so satisfactorily
explained, and the circumstance being fresh in
the minds of the peoplc-the Federalists have
concluded to assume new name. But no matter
what name they assume, they will hardly succeed
neat time by satisfying the South that their candidate
must be sound on the slavery question, because he
owns three four hundred negroes-whilst the
North is assured he will favor the Free Soilers his
negroes to the contrary Notwithstanding and by

Notwithstanding he (Webster) was thus encouraging

after it was ascertained that Van Buren, would run
the FreeSoil candidate, to catch all the North
ern Democrats, who were tinctured with Abolition
ism, off from Gen. Cass, and to prevent the South
from suspectng any sympathy between Gen. Taylor
and the Free-S Sellers. What pity it is that such
man as Dan'l Webster is not Republican: and that
his exertions used to build up privileged class
"a monied aristocracy-to rule the hundred mil

consequently the Northern Democratic Abolitionists
all voted against Gen. Cass for Van Buren,, whilst
the Northern Wing Abolitionsts voted against Van
