LITTLE THINGS ARE G RE AT TO
The Whiz ticket has nrevailed In the
abolition State Of Veimont, by a majority
considerably reduced,' and the Van Buren
Editors are making a tremendous flourish
at this small and unproductive gain. The
reason why the whig ticket did not pre
vail in, that State by a majority of ten or
twelve thousand instead of thrre thousand
votes, was that the popular feeling has been
considerably alienated fiom Mr. Clay in
consequence oi his' explicit and deep roo
ted hostility to the' abolition movements
and doctrines.: -Those who have deserted
Mr.. Clay in Vermont prefer Mr Van Bu

ANY THING TO GAIN. VOTES.;
, It appears that Mr. Van Buren can shift
his political opinions with as much facility
as he can change his coat. 'Sometime ago
nothing would do with him and his follow
ers but a specie currency bill This no
tion would not suit the people of the great
commercial State of New York. , And up
on hit late visit to that State, he has been
trying fo attract the people to hit support

w MR. VAN BL REN'S MERIT.
We have frequently heard the question
put to the Van Buren men "what has Mr.
Van Buren ever done to entitle him to the
Presidency?'; And we have never heard
any other answer given among the plain,
unsophisticated arfd candid members of the
party but one. and , that was, - that he was
the favorite of Gen. Jackson, for that dis
tinguished station. The leaders of the
Van Buren party, knowing the partiality
of the people for Gen. Jackson, are per
petually reminding them of the partiality
of Gen. Jacksnn for Mr. Van Buren, and
of the devotion of the lattr gentleman to
tbepfomeTfTldati
process31 r.' Van" Buren lias been hoisted
inlo the Presidential chair. Yet the Van
Buren men, yielding at the most of them
do the most slavish obedience to the will
of one man, in voting for Mr. Van Buren,
claim to be the only orthodox republicans
of the timea ! - r ' ' ,
A SPECIMEN OF VAN BUREN DE
MOCRACY. It is said, in a late Mississippi paper,
that General Brown, one of the Van Buren
members of. Congress, d. dared in ore of
his late, addresses to the people, that he
was in favor of the sub-treasury, because
Mr. Va,n Buren recommentled if, and that
he would give it up immediately, if Mr.
Van Buren should abandon it. Thit was
as much as to say that he would go witli
Mr. Van Buren whether he was risht or
wrongwhether for or agains't the people!
uiai ne wouiu vote lor the sub treasury
project if Mr. Van Buren should be in fa
vor of it, no matter how much Ihe people
might be opposed to it. Yet he is the can

- The Editor of the 'Globe has made an at
tack on Mr. Clay's celebrated Land Bill,
and with his usual candour has asserted that
if this Bill should ripen into a law of the
land, - that the necessity for a high tariff
will- be immediately.' imposed' upon the
country. " Now, the bencGui which would
be certain to flow from tMa beneficent ptop-
bsition orMr. Clay, and more especially to
the Southern States, are so apparent and in
viting, it ia quite natural that the patronage
and power presses should endeavor to lessen
ita value in ihe estimation of southern men;
But if the passage of Mr. Clay'a Land Bill
will create afresh demand for high tariff du
ties when it proposes to distribute the pro
ceeds of the public lands in a fair propor
tion among all the States of the Union, what
will become of us at the South, should Mr.
Van Buren's notions on tho subject prevail,
who proposes to give the whole of the pub-
lie lands to the States in which they are ret

THE REASON WHY.
Some of our friends have been very
tousto know why a vast numberof the Vim
Buren Federal Loco Foco leaders are so bit
terly opposed to intelligent men, and to the
general diffusion ot the lighta of education
amon the, people. The reason is very obs
vious. These men hate the increase of in
tellectual light in the world, for the same
cause that the Racoon, the Opossum and
the Owl Are -from the light of approaching
day; because it reveals their depredations to
the world, and excites the indignation of
mankind against them. Aa an instance of
the hatred of the deadly hostility of the pat
ronage and power men to the interest of edu
cation for the reason just named, the Loco
Foco Legislature of the State of New Hamp
shire have sjiorn all the young men belonging
to the colleges and schools in that State of

XThe Hon. Charles Ai Wickliffe, Lieuten

successor of Governor Clarke,, who lately
died. It will be remembered that Governor
Wickliifu was for many years a distinguish
ed member of Congress from Kentucky.
-4 SUF-TREASURY.
One of tho principal benefits that resulted
from4 the late United States Bank was the
practice of depositing the public revenues
in ks vaults, which were then continually
loaned out to individuals, by the Bank, at
moderate- interest.- The - necessary iconse
quence was, that a powerful impulse was im
parted, by the money thus loaned, to behefi
cent plans of public improvement: individu
al enterprize and labor were encouraged: in
dividual embarrasment waa relieved; and a
prosperous and animated tour was impart-
eu io aii iye concerns ot numan society,
But if the sub-treasury project should go in
to operation, the Government monies will
