M A It TIN Is a GONE CASE.
At the last Presidential electibn, the NKGRO
WITNKSS candidate received 170 electoral
votes 147 vote being necessary to a choice.
Since that election, he haa lost tka vote of Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Michigan
and Louisiana, iu all making' 57 electoral vote;
and leaving a yet in th possession ofth negro
chief 113 of hi original electoral vote. To thi
amount may be added th II vote of South Car
olina w hich will give him 124 electoral vote.
He cannot obtain so many electoral voir under
any possible circumstance, but we yield the
to him for th aake of being liberal, and what
then! Why, h will" be beaten badly, for add
ilie57 voUjs tost by Van Buren to the 73 electo
ral votes which were received by Gen. Ilarrison
at the last election and he will have 130 electo
ral rules, which are beyond all doubt or que-
Geo. Hasmsom will receiv 160 electoral vote,
13 more than a sufficient number to elect him.
Every breexe, however, bring ue th cheering

some 35 or 30 thousand vote, which will (well

of 339 in the electoral eolleg without taking in
to consideration . the almost certain prospect of
carrying Maine, Alabama and . Missiasippi for
General Harrison. So, let th British Tories

Tbe Intolerance of Van Bnren.
It is a passage of history which no person ha
vei yet presumed to question, that the NEGRO
W ITNKSS chief did one exert himsslt, whilst
a member of the NewYort lgilatureVlo '
dude a regularly elected member from hi aeat
on religious grounds. In th early pait of th
public career of Martin Van Buren, Francis
Cooper, a Catholic of some distinction, waa -lected
a member of the New York Legislature
At that time, th Constitution el' Saw York
prescribed a test oath to Catholic who might
b chosen for th Legislature,,. which waa ex
ty rigiu ana repulsive m iu ctiaraeter,
sed to Tax "jtheso oaths, because h consid
ered them incompatible with hi conacicnee.
In consequence of hi refusal to tak these oaths,
Martin Van Buren atepped forward and atrenu
oualy exerted himself to exclude Cooper from
hi teat. II was admitted by a large majority,
and Catholics havo aince been admitted to all
Office in New York, without taking tbia oath.
Th above fragment from the history of the
Negro W itness candidate, will ahew that ha is
aa destitute of the principle of religious, as lie
is of that of political, toleration. Unless tho
peopl of th United States shall find it conve
nient to conform their political opinion to those
of the British representative, he close the door
of office againat them. Unless the religion faith
of a peraon ahall be acceptable to him, he would
aim to cloae th door of offic againat him ton.
Th warm-hearted native of Ireland, who are
mostly CathoJicB,, sho.uId. teleot ea iho benrtJes4
indifference, not to say unfeeling contempt, fur
their rights, which was exhibited by the negro
witness candidate in the esse of Cooper. Van
Buren is generally supported by Ui Catholic
who emigrated from Ireland to thi country; yet
w find that he was in favor of raising a bar o
ver their oath to office, which would bar exclu
ded them a effectually a the test oath of Eng
land uaed to do.
Abominable partiality.
It appear that Commcdor Elliott waa lately
convicted of the grossest abuse of hi high trust
aa an officer of lb federal Navy. In accord
ance with thi conviction, h was suspended
from his command and bia pay for th term of
famr yearn; "Th proceedings of tfia iCouri jdar
tial were transmitted foe consideration and levis-
rtna fA il. VPPDnil'ITMPoonuirr ABL..
course doe h pursue in relation to th sentence
of th Court Martial! Why, ha fully approves
of th suspension of th Commodore from th
performance of hi duties for th space of four
yeaia; but b disapproves of th withdrawal of
bis pay during the whole of this retting tpell
which had boss granled to Elliott! The plain
English of lb matter is, that Elliott, being a
special favouriu of Van Buren, and being con
nected, in addition lo thi, with many wealthy
aad influential families, Van Buren wat deter
mined that he should not suffer for his offences
like sa ordinary culprit like any auboidiaat
officer, lnatead of letting Elliott go without pay
during the whole term of hi auspcnslon,' as waa
determined by th Court Martial, he moderate
tb-entenc f th Court o far a to permit El
liott to enjoy hi pay during two year of th
trm f suspension. Thstis, he permits him,
bocauM he is a special favourite of hi, to draw
a fat aalary from th public purse. --
But it habitual with th Negro Witness
Chief to extend similar lenity to hombl trans.

A Poor Defence-.
Martin Van Buren an J his negro wit
ness understrapper are baiy in detcnitlnf
the outiag which he committed on white
men in the case of Lieut. Ilooe. Tbej
say that there no law of Congress fur
bidding the application uf negro tetimonj
in the courts martial and other courts of
the United States, In reply ts this pre
posterous and silly defence, we say that
there is no law of tjungivss authorising the;
use of negro testimony againat white citi
zens; wc say in addition to this, that where
there was no existing law of the onion au
thorising the application of negro testimo
ny, that it was equivalent to the lr
nactmeni nf a tnw to ihuirffect II Y MAR
TIN VAN BUREN!! to Mttcn'M the in
troduction of iurh testimony J!! He hail
unlimited discretion over the procerdinps
of the court martial which condemned
Lietr Ilooe, and in not setting these pro
ceeding aside on aecount of negro teiti
mony having been used, h shew sua plain
ly that lie approve of the use of such evi
dence, anil that he is in full communion
with Tappan, llirney and other fanatics of
the North. He ha jbeeen already c.uopli
inentetl bf 'flt'ebofifiori jirffraaWTiir alloW
ing socli a horrible species of evidence to
be used agsinst .white men. But if he was
not in favor of audi evidence why did he
not lowr, since press upon Congress the
necessity of passing a law prohibiting it?
That he did not recommend the passage of
such a law, ia a aubatantiat evidence of
hia fondnesa for the use of negro testimony.
Dut if free negroes mtj (a U insisted by
Van Buren and his eruissariesj be admit
ted aa evidence against white persons be
cause no law of the Union prohibits such
testimony, then white men may be con
victed in our federal courts of crimes and
misdemeanori on the evidence of slaves.
0, yes! if this be the case white men may
be imprisoned, cropped, whipped or hand
ed on the edidenre.of slave, for there is
no federal law which prohibits the evidence
of slaves against white t itizens. Freemen
of North Carolina are you prepared to be
condemned to infamy and death on the
