(hat it is constitutional to manumit the slaves in .
the District of Columbia, and by giving free ne

Virginia, one of bis warmest supporters, whether !
he would veto a law freeing negroes in the Din- ,

see him without feelings of veneration for his | pioofs, we shall probably lay before our read
ers at nn early day. But do Southern men yet
doubt ? Do they not see in Mr. Van Boren's re
corded acts, in three Important periods of his life,
enough to convince the most sceptical of his iden
tification with the cause of the Northern erusa I
ers? Look at the three distinctive and striking
era* of bis life—in 1020 the open advocate of the
restrictions upon Missouri; in 1041. the champion
of Free Negro Suffrage in the New-York Con
vention ; anil now, in 1036, the undisputed support
er of the power of Congress over Slavery in the
District of Columbia.
If, with these recorded facts, there are yet nn-
believers, verily may it be added, they “would not
believe though one rose from the dead."
I amiable character f Add to all ibis, he is a scholar, a
•tuleHinnn. and a patriot. Having said this much, it
is understood lor whom I will not vote. .Mr. C. raid

own mind. He said he should net vote tor Martin
Van Huren, and these were his reasons:. He wa«
what was railed liititudiiierian | he has advocated in- ,
teriinl improvement* by the General Government ;
lie hnd voted for erecting toll gates on the Cumber
land road, though the constitution authorized no such
thing. The jurisdiction of the General Government
was rostiicteil by the constitution to such spots of
ground as were ceded to the United Stales, lie had
voted for the protective tariff ot I8\!8—a tariff nf
Hbommalions, which laid a most oppressive tax no the
Southern people—a tax on blankets, coarse woollens,
and other articles ; and for whose benefit f I answer,
for the benefit of the manufacturer. Mr. C said Con-
grrss can only lay duties f Tievenne. Nn one objects
to laying duties aufiicient to protect the country and
maintain the Government. It docs not, in my opin
ion, snid Mr. C., confer on Congress th» power, at its
discretion, to foster, hy indirect premiums, particular
hram lies of industry to the detriment and ruin of
others. Hn considered that it was wise to let labor

That Mr." Vail Boren*iVthe "favortie camlldat* ' 'Mtilt of tho l.te olretion i»
nf th* nia-is of the Northern Abolitionists, no one j "^ ew ' ,,e ? 1
can for a moment doubt, who lookn at his position I
and the various circumstances corroborative of tins
opinion which have lately been developed. Look
even at Pennsylvania. Is there not abundant
proof of tho operation of this feeling in his be
half in counties lately the strong holds of the op
position ? We have already noted the open appeal
mnde hy the Van Buren organs to the Quakers,
to cast their votes against General Harrison nn
account of his Identity of feeling with rfnn-
lliern »la?e*bolders. This appeal has not been in
vain—for although the folly of the Anti-Masons I
has done much to weaken tne opposition, can any !
one mistake the influence of the anti-Slavery feel
ing in Chester, Delaware and Burks These are
counties in which a strong repugnance to Jackson
misrule has always been manifest, yet tbpy have
merged their lesser antipathim in the greater, and
the common senfi i ent of aversion entertained far
.Southern slavery, has shewn itself unequivocally
in the late elections.
But iflhese circumstanced evidences were want
ing, we yet have unequivocal ami direct pr«.of that
Mr. Van Buren is the candidate of the Abolition
ists. Documentary evidence has been placed in
onr possession to this effect : That at a late as
semblage ol several distinguished afditionists from
different parts of the Union in the City of New-
York, in reply to a direct question on that head,
one of them remarked that he believed it was a
settled point that they would generally support
Mr. Van Buren in preference to either of the other
, candidates.
The veiacity of our informant is sustained by
indisputable testimony ; and this, with other damn •
him. We have, howevrr, from lime to tim*, placed
such information before you in regard to his. ax well
n« Judge White’s character and political history, an to
enable yon to place a just estimate upon their relative
claims. Reflect upon these things, and lot all rally to
j the polls and vote for the White Electoral Ticket,
| and thereby preserve your rights, and redeem your go-
[ vernment from threatened destruction.
| and more summary method. And here we musiugtiiu
acknowledge onr obligations to our neighbor, tor sup
plying ns himself with the argument. The Federal
Union now denies to Judge Whilo stability in hi:* prin
ciples. At tho last Presidential election, uot feur
years ago, the Federal Union denied to Mr. Van Bu*
ren any principle whatever. We ask the reader uow
upon this his own showing, which is the preferable
candidate? The man who is at the worst hut uutla-
or he who nt the beat, has no
principle at all And while we express our willing,
ness to leave the determination to the reader, we beg
leave only to remind him, that in passing upon tbe
evidence against Judge White, he has only the tes
timony of an enemy, while, on the contrary, iu pn».
ly the o ride use
of a friend.
We will now glance at th** tliirl and romainiHg ob
jection, which is, that Judge Whi'e is not connected
with a party which can suslaiu an admiotHtrutiun\ or,
to express tb* ides more clearly, Judte White’s party,
our neighbor thinks, is not so numerous ns Mr Vuu-
Boren’s. We confess our surprise at such an objec
tion, although it is not a singular one It must be »
source of deep regret to every honest mini to disc-o
ver indeed, how often those ot whom better might be
expected, adhere to tho strong rather than to the just

“Draw Sir—We now have strong reason to believe
that a majority of the people of Georgia nre friendly
to the election of Mr. Van Buren, but our ticket of

on the one side, and the combined powers ol federnl-
