The cry of abo- gland—and here allow me in relation to this charge to give you as evidence, in refutation. Mr. Vanburen's own language, in an address delivered by him. as chairman of a committee to a Convention of demo- etatic citizens of the State of New York in 1812. :* Fellow Citizens—Vour c uutry is at war, ami Great Britai ■ is her enemy Indulge us in a brief examination of the causes which h ive led to it. ami brief as from the necessary limits of an address it must he. we yet hope it will he found sufficient to convince every honest mail of the highest justice and indispensable necessity of the attitude, which our government has taken—of the sacred duty of every real American to support it in that altitude, and of the parricidal views of those who refuse to do it. The American people—a people rich in resour ces, possessed of a high sense of national honor— the only free people on earth—had resolved, >ti the face of an all observing world, that those ordets were n direct attack upon their sovretgnty—that a suhmitinn to them involved a surrender of their iiiilepeiidniice— anil a solemn determination to adhere to their was official declared by the ruler of the. British nation. Thus situated, what was our government to do ? Was there room for doubt or hesitation as to the hosrile views of Eng land ? No. Lest such doubts might prevent rupture, to acts of violent injustice were contin ually added acs of the most opprobrious insult While the formal relations of amity remained unbroken—while peaee was yet supposed to ex ist—in cool blood an unprovoked atiack is made upon one of our national ships, and several Amer ican citizens basely and cowardly murdered. At the moment your feelings were at the highest pitch of imtatiou iu consequence of the perfidi ous disavowal of Erskioe’s agreement—a min ister is sent, not to miuistor t< your rights—not to extenuate the conduct of his predecessor—hut to heard your Executive.— o add insult 'oinjury— Webstar, and Biddle with the United States Bank to and to fling contumely and reproach iu the fr.ee of hack them liir the purpose of breaking down the ad- — * ■ ... Ministration party, and each of whi<*b were aud even hive been political enemy’s, consisting of Oankites, and thinking world will set in judgement upon him, overnment.as being opposed to the late war with Un- j or at least 1 give it as my opinion. The uext charge jamble for the President, and I mean no disrespect to tltoso private gentlemen, who cotne out under their proper name and make it a profession, as we know where and upon what ground to meet them. In fact I consider them as men so much above these political gamblers, that I would not so much disgrace them as by an ' ren in the six New England States, and Dela- itiou will doubtless be ruug in Vour ear for effect, aud to excite your fecliugs against Vau Buren, that ’.hey secure your vote for this Stockjobbing concern, end here 1 will take occasiou to say, that 1 foi one have yet lo learn where the first aboli tionist now lives, that is supporting Vau Buren. In fact tlreir wholo forces are at taxed against him, uuless you arc prepared to believe that our illustrious chief magistrate, and theadniiiiiitratioii party are all abolitionist, which if admitted, I hazard tiothiug when I say that the great mass of the American people are abolitionists. But iu refutation to such a charge, allow me to call your attcution to one remarkable fact, thai of the op position of the South who while they aro de- noun ring Vau Buren as an abolitionist, the abo- litiouists at the north as well as the opposition there, are detiouuciog him for being iu, favour of slavery, and aro supporting Harrison and Gran ger. the one an epeu an avowed abolitionist, the other would sell the white man into slavery, after emancipating our slaves by au illigilimate and un constitutional tax upou our purse. “ So works tho cross cut saw.” There is another remarka ble fact that should uot be forgotieu, to say the opposition at the South who aro loudest in their denunciations against Van Bureu, is the very par ty who supported him for Vice President in 1824; and again in thirty two. This too is the party, who accuse Vau Buren of having changed his pol itics from the fact of ruuuing for Vice President iu 1824, while Jacksou was running for Presi dent. Well to take themmuou their own Honing, they have change ) twice, to Van Buren once. “ any way you can fix it, for this same party sup ported Crawford against Jackson, next supported Jacksou in 1828, and in thirty two, aud now op posed to him, aud denouncing him aud Van Bu reti, and what too is more remarkable they are supporting a man who supported the measure of Jacksou. and for which they denouuce Jacksou Ah.iiitio.iHts, Federalits, Antiuiasons and Nullifiers] all now joined in holy wedlock iu a crusade against a mill ivho stands preeminent in the affections of our illustrious Chief .Magistrate and the American people whose private character stands iinsullyed, whose de- im icracy unalterable, and whose talents every where rsspacted both at home and abroad who too, in an unwarrantable crassd; against Daniel D. Tompkins, late Governor of New York, stood foremost in warding; off the shafts of ingratitude and injustice, that fell from a Double Stringed lime—Who too has been the friend of ourilbistrioas Chief .Magistrate through good and through evil report—who too has supported his admin istration against tlte iiiilmly crusade of the combined force* of the coalition. And here permit me to en quire who is Daniel Tompkins ' Gobut to the history of the Inst war, and you find him with his private purse raising and equipping soldier* to fight the battles of our country. And who too may I he permitted to enquire is Audrew Jacksou ! Go hut lo the plains of New Orleans, and there Kuril who Audrew Jacksou is—Go also to the Savage wilds, and ask the red man of the forest, and they too can tell yon who Andrew Jackson if—But slop not here, but go" to the United States Sen ate. to the. Cabinet, and to the whole American people, and there learn who Andrew Jackson is, go mil; farther, go Iu England, and from thence to France, and they too cm tell you who Andrew Jacksou is—He it is they will toil you, tii it has done more fur his country than any marl living—lie it is whoso name is a passport for au Am jri.Mii citizen to any part of the habitable globe. This too. tli: man who stands charged, by a few Polil- i ' Gimblcrs, and an unholy com’iiuntion, of recommen ding. while in the act of retiring to private life, and we might add to his mother earth, and to his God, a /’o- litizul GUin'dcr.a Mogician, au Abolitionist!! a man nn:e>rthy the confitlr.net of the American People!!! ll-> hiutielj too a .stare, holder.

And has it come to this; that a man whom surrounding nations pay adoration to whom next to the Father of our Country stands im mortal on earth, shall be charged by a portion of the American people, as capableorrecommending a man tnpreside over the councils of onr nation who is an .-fWitiruitf, a violator of both tho laws of God and man. What unholy assassination of character of the great est patriot living But 1 will drop the curtain over this melancholy attempt of assassination aud ask the American yenple who this individual, whom Andrew Jackson stands charged of recommending to the Amer ican people loprasido over their councils, and that is stigmatized by this cvtlition as an Abolitionist, aud un worthy of the confidence of the American people And first I wilt tell you who lie is not. It is not iiim who lured by the temptation of otiice, was prepared by his acts to give his professions the li —neither was it him who would establish an iiiclependant govern ment of a savage tribe within the jurisdictional limits of Gcorgh-ivdiber was it him whom abandoned for mer principle, and the Administration of our illn-iri- no* chief Magistrate aud connected himself with Ty ler of Virginia aa avowed nollifyor to break down tn * administration party, neither was i: him who uilow- c liuras df to be mad.* a tool of by this coalLsion and f?.r ii'ilcr. fur office.

But ali these ate the acts that stands recorded against Hugh J.. White. The cnilition nullification candidate for the American Peoples Suffrages—again neither was it bini who was of the black cockade stamp, and that sup ported tho Elder Aff uni against Thomas Jefferson, and the younger Adams against Andrew Jackson— Neither w.i* it he i who Henry Clay denounced as in capacitated for Minisurto Colombia, neither was it him who irjtnrtaidJl’d with tho domestic concerns of that g waram iat nnd nigh produced a rupture with that the Executive of the American nation, iu the presence of the American people."* To clap the climax of her iniquity, to fill up the measure of our wrongs, she resolved to per sist in another measure, surpassed by none in flu grant enormity, a measure, which of itself was adequate cause of war; a measure which had excited the liveliest solici.udc, and received the unremitting attention of every administration of our government from the time of Washingten to tho present day ; the wicked, the odious and de testable practice of impressing American seamen into her service ; of eiitertoiiiTdiig our sons with in thcjwalls oi lier ships of war; compelling them to waste their lives, aud spill their blood in the service of a foreign government; a practice which never can he submitted to hy a natiou pro fessing claims to freedom, which can never he ac quiesced in by government without rescinding the great article of our safety, tho reciprocity of obedience and protection between the rulers aud the ruled. Under such accumulated circumstances of iu suit and injury wo ask again, what was your gov eminent to do ? We put the question not *• to that faction which misrepresents tho government: to the people, and the people to the government; traduces one half of the nation to cajole the oth er, and hy keeping up distrust and division, wish es to heroine the proud arbiter of the fortune and fate of America,’ not to them, but to eveiysound head and honest heart in the nation it is that we put the question. What was your government to do ? Was she basely and ingloriously 'o abandon the rights for which your !ailicr> fought and hied? Was she so early to cower to the nation which had sough to straugle us in our infancy, aud which has never ceased to retard out approach to manhood 1 So, wc will not for a moment (touht, that every man who is iu truth aud fat t an American, will say that H r AU, and W'AU Ai.O VE, was our only refuge from national deg- rcdfl'.inii—ournnlv course to national prosperity.” The next charge prefered by this same party, is that of having voted aguinst the Missisouri Restriction in 1820, when too, it is well known, that at that time he was not a member of Congress, and it is also known that when a certain portion of the citizens of the .State of New York was. orattempted to raise a petition to restrict Missouri, that Martin Vanburen refn.-ed to sign said petition—and to show how little regard is paid to this charge hy the citizens of Missouri from the late elections in that Patriotic State, they have elected a Vanburen Governor, Uieiitetiaiit Governor and both members to Congress by some four thousand major ity. This is a fine commentary upon this charge — The next charge preferred is that of being in lavour allowing the free negroes to vote upon an equality with the white man, in the convention of the Hate of made against Vaubuieu. although not ns general; and [ f'j' 1 single-handed agatust Vanburen in New i believe only by a small portion of the citizens of the ! ^ «rk, casting 42 votes ; Netv je.'sey 8; Pennsyl- United States, is his predilection for a United States j vania BO; Maryland 10; Keutucky 15; Ohio Bank, and to show the fallacy of this charge.

They arela- boring to iudentify the administration candidato with abolitionists, without proof, aud agaiust tho direitest evidence. Tney have grounded their opposition to Mr. Clay, and continued with his party to oppose the administration in all its meas ures. They arc deuounciug President Jackson as a tyrant, usurper, aud despot, ou account of me sures which ho recoraraeuded ; and yet they support Judge White as bis successor, who voted fur those measures, and pretends to be a friend to the present administration. We ask you what does all thi mean ? Have these nullifiers re nounced their doctrines, nnd become Union men? Are they suddenly converted to the doctrines oi' the proclamation, and ready to acquiesce in the policy and constitutionality of the force bill, which they have heretofore denominated tho “Bill of Blood?” No, fellow-citizeus: they know, as every one knows, that Judge White, like all other men. must be dependent for his support upon those tv ho elec' him. That elected (if elected at all) by their votes, ho musi look to the nulli fiers aud the opposition fur councellors, and form his cabinet fiom among the enemies of the pre sent administration. And if it were meant to be some earnest to that party of his future course. Judge White has already begau 'he Work of his. political apostacy. What! Judge Whito ati apostate ? The hon. est Judge White” a deserter from the administra tion, and his former friends ? Let facts answer if iv<? have too harshly characterized his course. He was elected to the Senate as a friend of General Jackson, and from the year 1823 un'tl he himself was nominated as a candidate of tho opposition, he agreed with General Jackson tn every thing, aud differed xvith him about noilt- visinoary theory that Minn is capable of self government and that rulers are the servants not the ma ters of the peo ple. The uexteharge prefe rred ia tliat from the fact of his being a northern man. it necessarily folloxvs that he is an abolitionist, and before refuting this charge by his own language and by his own acts. I will here state that xve should recollect that something is due to the State of New York. 1 xvill now attempt to prove by Vanburen’s oxvn language the injustice of the charge of abolitionism, by extracts from bis letter to the North Carolina Com mittee, ss also to Mr. Uuinii upon this subject— “My opinion, on the subjects of the power of Congress ovei slave property, m the Southern Stales are so ivell understood by tny friend that an attempt to impose upon the public respecting them should lie hazarded.. The subject is, in my i.pinion, exclusively under tho control of the State Government.” “The charge therefore, to xvhich you have had the goodness to call my at- teiition. that I am in favor of au interference hy Congr, ss in manumitting vour slave properly, is xthilhour foundation. So fa> from it, 1 do not see. on what authority, the General Government (xndil interfere, xvithnut a change of the Consti tution. even at the instance of either, or all of the Slaveholding states.”—Letter to Mr. Gwin, of Mississippi, dated July II1836.— ••I prefer lhat not only you. but all the people of the U. States should now understand, that if the desire of that portion of them, which is favor able to my elevatiuti to the Chief Magistracy, should he gratified, 1 must go into the Presiden tial chair.the inflexible aud uncompromising oppo nent of any attempt on the part of Congress to a- holish slaveiy in the District of Columbia. «- gainst the wishes ofthe slavebnlding States; aud also xvith tho dertemination equally decided, re sist the slightest interference with the subject, in the States xvhere it exists.”—Letter to a Commit tec in N Carolina, dated March 6. 1836, And to conclude upon this point, there is a remark able fact which should not be lost sight of. That of the abolitionist xvith Arthur Tappau at their head in New York, denouncing the northern candidate mid tauntingly tells die south tn take their Southern Presi dent; while Slade of Vermont, die organ of the aboli tion party of that State, and who with Granger lhe candidate for tho Vice Presidency, running upon Harrison ticket introduced more nboliUon petitions during die set ling of last Congress than ali the balance of the members together, neither is this all, but Slade openly espoused their.cause and is now, as then, exe- erting every influence in support of Harrison and Granger Should this be doubted, I will refer you to the Journals of last Congress. I here xvill take occa sion to enquire if it is not the fact, that Harrison is an abolitionist, and also if he does not get his support from that party, as together xvith Henry Clav, the Baukiies. the Federalists, the Antiuiasons and the sup porters of th tdein and sedition laxvs. and if this fact is admitted, aud he should he elected President of the United States is it not also fair to infer lhat Ilenrv Clay will he Secretary of State and virtually Presi dent. with a Cabinet consisting of Bankit. s, Federal- against tho xvill of the people. lie supported the administration, advocated the measures, approved the viexvs. aut! upheld tho doctrines of General Jacksou. If he once sepa rated from him even iu the minuter details of ex- ectttive duty or of legislative recommendation, before he was himself a candidate, xve do uut knov it. It is not believed he ever did. What General Jacksou did, he approx'ed— What General Jackson op[ osed, be resisted. But as soon as Judge While became a candi date, aud his claims xvere overlooked by the Pre- i sident and his party, and were espoused by tho consist of tho administration party, who xvould j nullifiers, $ all *he other old enemies of the Presi- aid in carrying out the geueral policy adopted by dent, then, for the first time, he began to differ By qamblinu or hy a conspiracy against the best interest of our country, it does appear to mo the crisis has arriven, when to avoid such im positions nur constitution should he amended, aud I xvould suggest the propriety of so amend ing it as that xvhen the election hy Gambling or otherxviso should devolve upon the house, that the txvo highest candidates, should be returned to the people out of xvhich they should make a choisfl. This amendment xvouitl not only put a stop to this Gambling, but xvould give the people au opportuui'y of as well choosing a President as keeping the principals of democracy souud. for it is possible by the prosent Constitution that out of sixteen millions of freemen xvheu tho election go.-.siutn the house, that three million uine hun dred aud forty thousand, could elect the Presi dent. xvhich deducted from sixteen million, leaves twelve million and sixty thousand inhabitants, more than three to one unrepresented. Such a state of things could not have been anticipated by the patriotic formers of that sacred instru ment the Constitution of the United States, and however foreign from design, It is no less true such a state of things by the present Constitu tion might arise by the artifice of a combination having for their object self aggrandizement and to illustrate, it xvill lie recollected that xvhen the cltfctien goes into the house, each state has but one vote uo matter though she may have but oiio 40 Representatives, or though she may have but 2- By which the small state of Dela .vare xvith tho population of 90 000 inhabitants has as much influence as the State of Nexv York xvith her 2.400.000 inhabitants—hence the great tempta tion for grmbling and tho gross inequality of Rep resentation. To illustrate further, xve xvill sup pose it shall go into the house, and their being 26 States it xvill require the vote of 14 states leav ing the remainder 12, xvith a population of 12,000.000 while the 14 will have hut 3.740.0(H), xvhile N»xv York xvill have more than half as much as the 14 States. Delaware with her 90.000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Michigan with her 120.000 inhabitants cast ing 1 vote. Rhode Island xvith her UOJMH) inhab itants casting 1 vote. Arkansas xvith her 70,000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Hew Hampshire with her .’100.000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Ver mont with her 330,000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Connecticut xvith her 320,000 inhabitants casting I vote. Nexv Jersey with her 360,000 inhabi tants casting 1 vote. Missouri with her 250,000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Illiuois xvith her 320,000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Louisiana with her 350.000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Marylaud xvi h her 500.000 inhabitants casting 1 vote. Alabama xvith her 500.000 inhabitants casting 1 vote making 3,620,000 inhabitants iu the 13 States. Thus you see that such a thing is possible, al- Audrexx Jacksou, and approved of by the A titer ican people. And is it not fair also lu iufer that the cabiuet aud Van Buren will have ou all im portant questions arising from the resolutions in cidental to g all governments, Audrew Jackson for council and consultation. And is nut equally fair to infer, that under such a state of things our government will undergo no revolution, but main tain her present high standing, her dignity and honour iu the estimation of surrounding nations or an assembled xvorlil.

The leaders of the party opposed lo tho present administration, xvho for years past have denounced without meas ure, and coudemned without reason, every lea ding act of the Na'ional Government, are per severing iu their efforts to attract to Judge White the favor aud confidence of the people.

Judge White. That Judge White is supported hy the partv opposed to the present administration, for the purpose of subverting its principles and elevating into power those xvho have rousted its measures and intend to alter its policy, is so plain, that xve xvouder only how any man of candoi can pro tend to doubt it. It is denied ? Then we appeal to every can did man in the State to look and see if every Anti-Jackson man among us—if every man who has been lukewarm or suspected in his attach ment to the administration—if these are not lou dest in their support of Judge White? If they do uot proscribe every inau, no matter what his public services may have been, and however or thodox his politics heretofore, xvho does oot go xvith them in the cause of Judge White? We ask you to look and see if the late election of a Governor it* this State is uot already hailed by opposition men of every class as a triumph over the principles of tlie present administration, as evidence that the State has abaudoned the- po sition she has heretofore occupied ? That these things are so, none xvill venture to deny. What do they mean ? Are the old enemies of Geueral Jacksou better patriots and better friends of their couutry; and have they ou a sudden changed their opinions, or do they know that Judge White has altered his? Do they support his election Jackson’s, Vito. 3.
