1844 will-excel that of 1840, as far as '40
exctiled the second eh'cilon of Monroe.
What show would Mr. Van Buren moke
beside Mr. Clay ? A fut sheep to a lion !
But to be grave. The Enquirer, in com
menting on our article of Wednesday,
sayj'i
--V-Wer nrertold that-Mr Vtrrr BtrrenY
friends have repelled tho assistance of Mr
Tyler's friends. TFe surely ha vo never
done it no more than we have refused to
support Mr. "Tyler, il he should be the
nomineo xf jhe JlaJiimore Convention.
And after all, what is the plan of the cam.
pain which the' Madisonian is to pursue!
He .will not support. Mr. Clay... Oh no!
buyie will help him almost as essentially
by drawing off Mr. Tyler's friends from
the nominee of the -Convention. Where
i the mighty Hifierenro in the result T You

man who con defeat Mr. Cloy Mr. Clay
who has lavished ten times tnnrc insult upon

fersoninn principles, xa- which Mr. Tvler
professes to be devoted.. Is th's to art like
a man or like o state man? If Mr. Tyler,
or if any republican. enn keep aloof tn such
a contest aa this, he would deserve to wear
the cap', whicliihe.I)emocrntic Review has
placed on the--heads of 'Neutrals.
STbey Mte '. i repelled" us now let them
help themselves. We cannot be held re.
snorsiblc for their acts.
The Enquirer too " repelled" us but
not in the coarse and vulgar manner of the
Globe. " But it is towlnte tn preach about it
now that the Day of Judgment has arrived
If we vote fr a good Democrat, and by
doing mi, Mr. Uaythn.ll be helped, lie must
thank the Globe and Enquirer, not us ; the
ncj will be lliei rsT aoHwfsJr.tmd it would be
a personal insult for them to reproach us.
The Enquirer thinks Mr CliiyTias in.
suited us more than Mr.Van Buren, 'and
therefore we Should moke Mr. Van Buren
President ! We would rather vole" for some
one who never insulted us at all.
" Mr. Tyler keeploof !" Why, he has
been ..thrust aloof. Would tho Enquirer
have him fall down on his knees and kiss
the foot that kicks hlmt Either foot, the
right or the left? He is made of nobler
stuff! We would rather wear any kind 6f
f caps" than indignities.
The Enquirer continues :
" The acorn of every honest republican,
and (he contempt of the people will be the
lot of yery man, who will indulge his own
passions, at tho risk of saddling the coun-
try "with such a President as H. Clay." .
' The Enquirer is in the same ship we are
onlr we orefer to take our chance on a
t
plank, hencoop, or anything; rather than
be smothered Id the crowd while the ship
is linking. vJMr. Van Buren was done or
ii 1840,; end Men if all the friends of the
Administratioa were to stay on board and
pump for him, he and all hands would
nevertheless go down. So the Enquirer
need not threaten Mr.Tyler or any body
else wijh his party vengeance. .. The whole
concern wilt go down together, If the fat
man of Linden wald be not instantly sen)
ashore: end it is absolutely astonishing to
Cis.'that "ft man "of his health anifwealih

A correspondent of the Evening Post
asks: '.' if-'"

really believe that the mau who received,
at the election of 1840, over one hundred

given for any Presidential candidate, can
not now compete with Mr. Clay. Non

Well then, we will tell the Postman why
the Whig Presses, from Maine to Arkan.
sns, are certain that Mr. Clay will defeat
Mr. Van Buren
Mr. Van Buren has not, never had, and
never will have, any popular strength. A
majority of the people have nlvays been
against him, in all popular elecliws, except
that of 1836, when, a smull yite being
givn, und there being but lute excite.
ment, he was slipped into the fresidency
under the cloak of. Gen. Jackson
The great difficulty with Mr.,Van Bu
rcn is. that he does not persesify or repre
sent his party. Ho is a fripd, calculating
man, whom tho masses of tie people can
not get at, and whom they to not care for.
Formal in his manners, aid selfish in his
friendships, he unites the.f "nci':!C2J,,bf 1

Hereditary? we use that word by design,
Mr. Van Buren was to all intents and pur
poses, in a political point of view, the heir
ot .uenTJacKson. ITwt violent and re
mnrkublc man had popularity enough to
apKjint any body and he bequeathed his
othce, with dimculty however, to- Mr. Vun
Burer. But hereditary succession is not
popular among Republicans When Gen.
Jackson's influence was removed, the pco
pie would not a second time ratify the he
reditary succession. Y The bequest that
held good once, was ghod for nothing a ie.
cond time. Now the effort is, to make that
succession good by obtaining from the peo.
pie a third ratirrntion. Whut was dim.
cult the first time, impossible the second
time, there are some crazy enough to be
lieve, possiblo on, the third lime trying !
lu the election of 1840 Mr? Van Buren
had advcnlitious aids, such os he cannot
have in 1 844.' To possess . the patronage

wielded with the unscrupulous corrupting
power lie used, i: becapio the mightiest- ol
engines for his success, that is lost now
It wus a certainty with his partisans in 1840
that his own state would back mm. It is,
to say the very best for him just now, a
doubtful offuir. Io 1840, too, the idea was
abroad that Mr. Van Buren was so great. a
political artist that lie could jcarry any thing
und every thing, if not by main si ret; nth,
at least by juggling. That idea of jovin.
ctbilily is gone. Wo see and we know that
it was as easy to defeat htm and them -as

VencbarCE is the watchword of all the
Van Buren men. Now.this idea of ven.

case, is the lust one on which his friends
can found iheir hopeaviof success. To

when they stand io the way of their will
at the time. The force of a majority vote

the edicts of tho majority, and leave it to
time and chance to discover in some other
mode, than through a journal whether there
war any such thing as a minority in the
House, or what their opinions were. t
This is the tyrannical, overbearing char,
acter of modern Democracy -
The protest of th Wbig members of the

The minority of the House, the repre.

It is evident that public opinion has ol
ready decided in favor of Mr,, Van Buren
Now that he may be considered the Demo
Ca.tic candidate for the Presidency, let us
look at what some of his Calhoun brethren
say of him. A writer in the Petersburg
Republican (a Locofoco paper,) has showrt
conclusivcly,-lhp losses sustained by the
Democratic party in 1840, in consequence
of running Mr., Van Buren. fThey are
summed up lis follows.' - .
In the New England States, 65,881 votcsv
Middle " 66,489 ;
Southern , - 87,?I9
Western , 5676
Total Democratic loss ' '
in the Union, , 896,951
Cao it be possible that the Democracy
think, thsl Mr. Van Buren can regain what
it is'shownTie lost in 1840 T It is fullucy
to think so. WhaVhatrho dono'to inspiro
confidence in those who ponounced him
unworthy of the high trust once conferred
upon him t . Why just exactly nothing.
The developments that have been made
in relation to his profligacy and corrup
lion, since his administration expired, have
been enough to doubly confirm them in the
belief they entertained io 1840. It is the
same Martin Van Buren who was checked
in his high career iff i860 by the peopl
die honest yeomanry of the country that
is again brought "before them, and they
modestly asked to support him. Fellow.
citizens, if you Wish to bring vupon the
country the same ruinous state of affairs
which was fast developing in 1840, cast
your suffrages for Mr. Van Buren arid you
will not be disappointed.
