From the Cincinnati Republican. i fRENCHMEN—IRISHMEN—GF.RMANS— NATURALIZED CITIZENS FROM THE WHOLE WORLD! Having given you in yesterday’* paper, adopt ed fellow-citizens, a leaf from the past in regard to the public nets of Wiilinui Henry Harmon, we now propose to recur to the former life of . Martin Van Buren. What has Mr. Van Buren ■ done, that should entitle him to your favorable consideration? You will not be satisfied with pledges, however ardent or earnest, which he. or friends for him, mny choose to make note, upon the eve of the election. You will try him by the past. < if - If yon will turn then for a moment to Holland's ■life of Van Buren, or oven Dawson's life, you will find that President Van Boren is the avow- ed and acknowledged author of nn address writ ten in 1619,entitled “Considerations,” &c., the express and sole object of which was to prevail upon the Legislature of New York tore-elect to the Senate of the United States Mr. Rufus King. In that address, Mr. Van Buren urged every ar gument which talent and political tnct could sug gest, to carry thefelection or his particular friend. Mr. King. Mr. Van Buren triumphed, and Mr. King iras elected; and no one can pursue the his tory of the election without the most convincing evidence, that but for the active and able exertions of Mr. Van Buren on that occasion, his warm and intimate friend King never could have been re-elected to the responsible office of United States . ' Senator. Well, we now appeal to all naturalized citi zens, and'more particularly to generous, enthu siastic aud wurui hearted Irishmen, if they know the hjstory of this bosom friend and political ally, Rufus King, whom Mr. Van Buren made Sen- r ator of the United States. You have all heard no doubt, of (what have been called) the days of Black Cnckadeism, and Hartford Convention Fedcn*!i«in. This Mr. Rufus King then was a • wry high and distinguished Federalist. It is also matter of history that iu the year of 1798, Mr. Ru fus King was minister from and represented this countiy at the court of King George. We now ask every true Irishman to read the Jbllftwitigextract from a letter addressed by the late distinguished Thomas Addis Emmet to Rufus King, and dated at New York, April 9th, 1837: '• r Iii the summer of 1793, after the attempt of the people or Ireland for their emancipation hud been completely defeated; after every armed* body bad been dispersed or surrendered, except * a-few who bad taken refuse in the mountains Of Wicklow; whiU&litahj tribunals, house burnings, shooting, torture Find every kind of devastation were desolating and overwhelming the defenceless inhabi tants,somo of the State prisoners theu in ccnv /L fiiienaent entered into a negotiation with the Irish T^miffisters for effecting a general amnesty; and, as an. inducement, offered, amongst other things, not necessary to the examination of your con- . duct, to emigrate to such country as might be a- greed between them and the Government. # “The offer was accepted, the bloody system M,. was stopped for a dam, and was uot renewed until after your interference, and after the British * Ministry hud resolved opeulvto break its faith with us. ir,:* , “la the commencement of our negotiation, ; « Lord Castlereagh declared, as a reason for our acceding to Government possessing a negative " on our choice, dial it had no worse place in view jfor our emigration than the United hlatcs of Amer ica. We had made our election to go there, and called upon him to have our agreement carried into execution. In that difficulty, YOU, sir, OF* ! FERED EVERY EFFECTUAL. ASSIS TANCE TO THE FAITHFULNESS OF , THE BRITISH CABINET. * "'On the 16th September Jlfr. Marsden, then Un- . der Secretary, came to inform us that Mr. KING HAD REMONSTRATED AGAINST OUR BEING PERMITTED-TO EMIGRATE TO AMERICA. This astonished us all. und Dr. JBcNevan very plainly said that he considered it arA TRICK BETWEEN MR. KING AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. This Mr. • Marsden denied; and, mi being pressed to know what reason Mr. King had for preventing us,who were avowed republicans, from emigrating to A- mericn, he significantly answered, “ PERHAPS MR. KING DOES NOT DESIRE TO HAVE REPUBLICANS IN AMERICA.” Y#>ur in ference was then, sir, made a pretext of retaining us for four years in custody, by which very exten sive ami useful plans of settlement within these Stales ' were broken up.-—The misfortunes which you brought upon the objects of your persecution Were incalculable. ' Almost all of us waistedour . four best years in prison. As to me, I vhould have brought along* with me my father and his family including a brother, whose name, perhaps, mu will even rtud without emotions of symputhy mul respect. Others nearly connected with me would have be come partuere to my emigration. But all of them had been torn from me. I have been prevented -FROM SEEKING A BROTHER; FROM - RECEIVING THE DYING BLESSINGS OF FATHER, MOTHER, AND SISTER. .AND FROM SOOTHING THEIR LAST AGONIES BY MY CARES; AND SIR, BY YOUR UNWARRANTABLE AND UN FEELING INTERFERENCE. Tho step you took was unauthorized by your own Govern ment," &a. Here then, at least, is conclusive proof what tlte distinguished Emmet thought of tne services of Mr. Kiug so far a* Irish emigrants were con cerned. ' Nay—there can be no doubt, that Mr. Ru fus King, Minister to GreatBrituin,d»d(loug pre vious to his being a candidate for the U. S. 8eu- * ate in 1819,) exert his utmost abilities to prevent the oppressed sons of the “ Emerald Isle" from receiving a welcome on these shores, und the franchise of free- ' men in their adopted country!—Audyet, with u full ’ knowledge of Mr. King's efforts, many years be fore, to prevent the emigration of the down-trod-, dan Irishman to this asylum for the oppressed of 'oil nations, Martin Van Buren is found in politi cal association with Mr. King, is his warm and Union oftlic Whigs for the sake of. the Union.

The salute will com mence simultaneously with the movement of the procession. After which TWENTY-SIX AD DITIONAL GUNS will be fired in honor of the Federal Union.

TO ACTION! TO ACTION!! TO ACTION!!! The State of Georgia has nobly sustained those Representatives who have been true to her cause. By a popular majority of about 4000 votes, they have sent them forth* again to vindicate their rights in the National Legislature. To the apos tates from the true Slate Righto faith, they have given such a rebuke oasuch men should receive at the bauds of an indignant people. This rebuke will be a caution to all renegades in future.— That men, calling themselves State Rights men, should swear allegiance to the arch enemy of State Rights, Martut Van Burse, is prod igious, ly strange. We trust that Messrs. Colquitt aud Black, in particular, will write a history on po litical heresy for the benefit ofthe State. They are abundantly qualified for such a task, and we shall be happy to receive tho “ document.” But a serious word to our six Representatives in the present Congress. The people of Georgia at a time when every man has his intellects brightly burnished, have placed the seal of their approba tion on your conduct. The victories in other States have been trifling, compared to the victory in Georgia, whose generous sons have conferred upon you again the high honorofprotectingtheir interests in the American Congress. You have all shewn yourselves equal to this task. You have proved yourselves amid severe trials, the true friends of Slate Rights and of the Constitu tion, and nobly have you been rewarded foryour adherence to honest political principles. There is now n debt due from you to the State in re turn for tUU generous' confidence. In whatever counties you have appeared your influence has been felt, and in some instances certain counties have been almost revolutionised by the power of truth. We are, however, surprised at our suc cess, when we learn that the opposition have made much greuto efforts iu some purtsof the up country, than our own orators. With them, it is true, the struggle has been a more desperate one, and we know that you have all worked hard, but there is still much to be done. We have gaiuud so great a victory, that there is great danger of our having too much confidence, and thus risk ing a defeat. This risk demands incessant action. Many inhabitants in this State have not had tho truth laid before them, and they demand that this truth be distributed in every possible way. At this moment the whole State of New-York is cut up into districts, in which political lectures are held weekly. Such a plair, or a similar oue, should be adopted in Georgia. Every thing should be done understa^ingly, and we know that you have acted understand!ugly,but there are still dis tricts which you have not visited. The weather is now improving. The campaign is not over— tbe enemy is still in the field, and prepared for another contest. We have a right to expect that your voices will be raised till the very day of elec tion. We make the same appeal to our other three Representatives, who are good men aud true—and to every State Rights orator in the State, we say spend every day till the election in action, action, action. We hope that the man ly eloquence of Toom3s, of Wilkes, and the stir ring appeals of Stevens, of Taliaferro, will stllj be beard daily. We hope that Richmond, (i. e. Jenkins, Crawford and Miller,) is still “in From the Baltimore Pilot. Pennsylvania is coming!! GREAT WHIG GAIN IN THE KEY STONE STATE. Ten Counties heard from. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIONS.

That Mr.lngersoll has been elected by the introduction of foreign votes, & by the excitement growing out ofthe rail road ques tion, cannot be doubted. But we look to the re turns from the interior.

In a few words, then, all the extracts commu nicated (Vom the tho Globe of tho 25th, 26th, and 28th nit* are,so far as they regard my opinions and position upontthe subioctof abolition, entirely untrue. It may ho well, however, to sny some* tiling more.' My father, Mr. Samuel Feaaeudeu, t>f this ci ty, has for some years been an avowed nbolitiou* 1st, and was, I am told tho presiding officer at n convention holden in Boston, in Mny Inst, which has been sometimes called the “Ladiot' Abolition Convention,” from the fact tlmt Indica were per* milted to act in it as delegates and members — Immediately after the election iu this district, the Bay State Democrat designated me as tbe indi vidual who presided ot that Convention. The Boston Courier ut oneo contradicted this state ment, and published, ill proof, tho following ex tract of a letter written by tue on a former occa sion: “I am not, and nover have beon, a membor of any abolition society, and havo made uo secret of my unqualified want of confidence in the expedi ency and heueficial effects of such associations.” Notwithstanding this, the charge thus made was reiterated in other administration prints; and, though again contradicted thro* a personal friend iu New York, has been circulated far and wide, in the hope that some political capital might be made of it. The Buy State Democrat has since even gone so fur ns to assert thul I had given pledg es to the abolitionists—that my father worked night aud dAy to procure my election—and thaUa placard was published here, on tho duy of elec tion, containing the words "No Slavery in the Dis trictAll these statements are unmitiguted false hoods. No plcdgo was given or required—no placard was issued or used—mid my.father wns absent for more thun a week before and until some daysufter tbe election, and took uo partiu it whatever. You can readily understand, from these facts, the object and uim of those who orginnted and those who havo propagated the story referred to. Ilia enough for too to say that my opinion* upon the siibiect ofabolition societies remain unchang ed, and that no mnn can be more hostile to any interference with “the compromises ofthe Con stitution” than I tun. Justice compels me to add, thnt so fur as I have known them, the Northern abolitionists have always disclaimed any inlnntion or desire to interfere with the slave States in the management of their domestic institutions. You will oblige me, sir, by stating, on any oc casion that may seem to you a proper one, not only tlmt I am nqt, and never wns, an abolitionist, but that my positiou and views upon this subject Imve always been well understood here, from Uie fact of my undisguised difference upon this point with* one whose opinions on most matters of im portance I have always found it most safe and ad vantageous to follow, and with whom any differ ence of sentiment for feeling has always been to me matter ofprofound regret. I will only add that you are at liberty to make such use ofthis communication os may seem ex pedient to yourself. Respectfully, youi obedient servant, W. P. FESSENDEN.

It can be easily proved, on the authority of several gentlemen now in this city, personally acquainted with Mr. Fessenden. 1st. Thnt he is notan abolitionist, nor has lie ever been one. 2d. That he lias ever been one of the most in dependent supporters of Southern Rights in the State of Maine. j. • 3d.

The following Letter, which sufficiently ex plains itself, is an nulhoritive and effective rebuke of the falsehood circulated by the agents of tbe Administration concerning the grounds of the into Whig triumph in the Cumberland Congression al District, in Maine: Portland, (Me.) Oct. 3,1840. Dear Sir.—Yours ofthe 28th September, con taining several extracts from the Globe touching the recent election in this Congressional district, was received this morning. Tim charge therein made upon me of being nn abolitionist has before met my eye in Administration papers from vari ous parts of the country. It originated, I believe, in the Bny State Democrat, wns thence copied into the New York Era, and has since been in dustriously circulated, notwithstanding its imme diate conirndiction. I had resolved nutltogive myself the trouble of personally denying the truth ol n report well known here to he entirely un- founded.believitig that to me it was of no individ ual consequence, und thinking too highly of the Southern markelto admit tho idea that such wares could pass there, though manufactured OLpressly r ' for that region, of country. .1 could not imagine thatan artifice so stale andcballow would nave 0T A Convention of original Jackson men, was held at Colnmbus, Ohio, on the 23d ult. Their address refers to the one term principle, which Gen. Jackson advocated in his annual mes sage of 1831, where ho say, “ I have heretofore recommended amendments of4he Federal Constitution, giving the electiou of President and Vice President to the people, and limiting the service of the former to a single term. So important do I consider these changes in our fundamental law, that I cannot, in accord ance with iny sense of duty, omit to press them upon the consideration of 0 new Congress.” General Jackson, in the face of his own recom mendation, was not content with serving two terms, blit nominated a successor, sworn to tread tn his footsteps. The address contains die following comprehen sive remarks: “Fellow-citizens, Van Buren calls himself a Democrat—a Republican. His pnrtizaus call him a Democrat. By the assumption of thi«*popnlar name they expect the people to be enticed and deluded, ns they have been in other things. They promised us a reformation of abuses—we bcliv- cd them and were deceived. They promised us adherence to the one term priuciple—we be lia-ved and were deceived—they promised c diminution of expenses—we believed and were deceived. They promised us prosperity—they have given us ruin. They promised a better cur rency—they have destroyed thnt we had. They promised obedience to the will of tho people— the will ofthe President has become tho law of the land—tha thrice rejected Sub-Treasury scheme is forced by Executive power upon the reluctant people.—They promised adherence to tho Jeffersonian rule of official appointment— “is he honest, is he capable, is lie faithful to the Constitution?”—they have substituted the slavish criterion “will he slick to his party and obey tile Captains and leaders?” They promised to enforce a rigid accountability upon public officers —they have exposed the public treasury to every stealthy depredator who chose to sacrifice duty, conscience and character upon tho shrine of avarice.

We be- lleve that after the speech of Mr. Clay last win ter in the Senate, on tho subject of slavery, tho great body of the abolitionists would have given Mr. Van Buren their decided prefarrence had the farmergeutlnnian been taken upas the rival can didate; and we do not supposo they have been materially conciliated by the nomination of Gen. Harrison, since in tho event of the success of the whigs,*tho doctrines of Mr. Cloy will he sanction* od and incorporated in the new administration, of which he must he the hireophant and symbol. Asto raising the cry of nbolitionism far effect at the south, wo must pause n little and inquire wlmt that effect may bo, and whether honest men and patriots can hnvo any bund in securing it. We may throw odium upon our opponents, and consolidate the south in support of Mr. Von Bn- ren by such trickery. But is that the end of it? Is that the ultimate effect? Is there no danger of deepening and strengthening tho already too ap parent jealousy botweoti the great northern and southern sections of our beloved common coun try? God knows we have perplexing elements enough already iu our political proolams, the grcnteBtof which is diversity without disunion— and let us beware lest in attemping to conquer n party we blow up the Union. Let it not he deem ed impossible thnt the south ond north, now at tempted to bo arrayed against each otlior as par ties, may, ere long, come to be arrayed as nations, separate, independent ond bitterly antagonis- ticul. We forbear all comments. We know of noth ing we could say more forcible or more pungeut. Of the extract from the proceeding* of the Maine Legislature, in that very consistent print the Rich mond Enquirer, we know little, as we havo not tho means at hand to detect its errors.' We how ever do say, that the statement that all who voted ogainst the re-consideration of the resolution in the Legislature are democrats, is not true. We see the name of ono gentleman, Mr. Reed, of Lin coln, whom we know tn be a sound Whig; and very likely the whole document is as little true as that part. We cannot say thnt the whole thing is a forgery, but we verily believe it is something akin to it. When itis remembered that numerous VanBuren presses have been for the whole sea son engaged either in circulating direct falsehoods or garbled and mutilated speeches and writings of their opponent*, we may well look upon the paper referred to with suspicion and doubt. We presume it will in a few days be proven to be a false, malicious anJ hypocritical attack upon an honoroble and highminded man. The Georgian speaks of Mr. Fessenden as a hypocrite ond deceitful man. We can tell that print that Mr. F. is an honorable, whole soiiled gentleman, who never descended to the at tacks which have characterised the Vun Buren papers, that in their abundant wisdom have seen fit to assail him. Mr. F. is a man of irreproacha ble moralsandagentleman whosehonor has never been questioned, while his opponent has foryears been the object of contempt in the community whore he resides, as a shuffling, noisy dema gogue ; a fit companion and associate for the im maculate Dr. Duncan. Now even if all the proofs which are offered against Mr. F. ore good, let us look at the written declaration of his opponent, and see how far he gqea'tn favor ofthe South: “ No mnn in this community can be more de cidedly opposed to sinvery in the abstract, or more deeply desire tho freedom of tho whole ha muli family limit myself. I would do us much ns any other man, with the same means, legitimate ly,'safely and constitutionally to accomplish this object. I am moreover opposod unequivocally to the admission of Texas as a constituent pnrt of this Union, whether itcan be done constitutional ly or not. Jam in favor, also, of the right of pe tition of the citizens of the United States to Congress vertiser. IN ITS BROADEST SENSE.” - Relative to Mr. F’s. sentiments,we call the at tention ofthe public to the letter of that gentlo- man from theNationpl Intelligencer,as a triumph ant refutation of tho calumnious attacks of the Van Buren papers. We have no patience to pursue this subject further. We know Mr. Fes senden, mid we reiterate the assertion, that the chatge against him of being an Abolitionist is ma licious and without foundation. We do not consider tbe Georgian responsible for these misstatements, as it has evidently been led into error by those papers of the party which are conducted by political gamblori, who care not what means they take to accomplish their selfish purposes, and with whom the falsehoods we have exposed originated.

We do not notice this extraordinary effusion for the purpose of entering into any controversy with that print. We Imve no such ambition. But we write for the purpose of disabusing the minds of others, who muy givo credence to the misrep resentations referred to. The Van Buren party have been thunderstruck by the overwhelming defeat they have lately met with in this State, and nppear utterly unable to account for it. We can assign one reason we think, und that i* the insane course of the Richmond Enquirer and Globe on the subject of Abolitionism. Were the disciples of fanaticism to coins within our borders and preach a crusade against slavery, wo apprehend that we should have no more to- fear thnn from the appeuls which have daily appeared in the col umns of those papers. So the free, untrauielled and intelligent Georgians of the interior think, and acting under this conviction, huve bent all their energies in the cause of truth, and to their efforts are we indebted for Uie signal and glorious triumph just achieved in this State. We propose to exhibit a fact or two, and leave the subject to thecommunity,wlio read and think for themselves. It is well known, that the Assertion, that Wm. Pitt Fessenden is an Abolitionist, or that he in any way aids or favours the designs ofthe fanatics, has been publicly pronounced in this city by that gentleman’s friends as a deliberate falsehood, and there are gentlemen in this city who know Mr. Fessenden, who ore ready at all limes so to apeak. On this subject, we we gve an extract from the “ Sentinel" of Philadelphia, a Vau Buren pnper: 'William Pht Fessenden, Esq. mnmbor elector Congress from Maine, is not, us we are inform ed, and never has been an abolitioniat, but on the coutrary haualvvays expressed Uitappatitinn to the principles of that party. We may as well take this occasion (osay that we have not been nblo to perceive the truth ond justice of the charge that the Whigs and Aboil- tiou parties of the north' are identical-iu their uims and efforts.
