FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1840.
Gentlemen, ihis trick won't do. No, no,
gentlemen,; it won't bear telling you must
try your hands ef am.
The editorial remarks, in the papers pub
lishing these letters, from these horror-stricken
Goternbrs say, in substance, that the
reason why tbe documents themselves are
ifr paper, to the fact, that the! Demo- frlnk of Mr. Gates (for it is nothing lew) uot PuM'sMj is, that they are Hncendiary"

And this afempt oo the part of ti e Democracy
of aiilii an county, to palm upon us a INegro
Irator,and to justify his speaking, because, tor
sooth, he has some Indian blood in hip,; is, we
solemnly believe striking the-, severest blow at
the insulation of slavery, as it exists! in the
?5outb, that it has ever received from1 any quar
ter. , ;. .
But this Is nothing more than we would ex-
I eel f;om the supporters of Martin Vai Boreo.
.ike priest like people. What aie the princi
ples of this man; and what has been his. course
in life? The proper answer to these anxious
interrogatories, will leados to examine; into tbe
history of th's man. Mr. Van Burehjdoea not
feel all that holy honor for slavery, that his par
tinna in the South woold have us believe be
does. None will doubt but that he opposed the
" introdoctioa of slavery into the State of Mis-
SDuri. Iiis equally well known, thatihe toted
to allow free negroes the right of suffrage in the
State of New York. In March, 1836, he. wrote
a letter to a committee, which letter is now be
fore os, and in which he says, I would nor,
from the lights before me, feel myself safe in pro
nouncing that Congress does not possess the pow.
er of abolishing slavery in the District of Co
lumbia!' More recently, h approved of the
expulsion from the Navy, of. a gallant officer,
Lieut, lluoe, upon the tesiimony cf two infamous
negroes. And now, as if to cap the climax, his
most influential and enthusiastic supporters, in a
neighboring county, have a Free JSlegro in his
i defence! Is not all this true? Are. these dec
lamations of ours, a part and parcel of the his
tory of our common country ? And if so, do not
the facts involved, vitally affect the immediate
welfare and happiness of the whole population
of the Sooth ? i i
These views thus expressed and understood,
appear to us. to cover tbe whole ground of the
abstract question of slaTeiy, which has convulsed
this nation from its centre to iis circu aiference,
and we cheerfully embrace tbi matter, full? be
fore -cor countrymen of tbe South arid West.
Are not these considerations of a high; charac
ter, and consequences of a solemn import ? And
will uch men d fur "Northern men with
Southern principles ?" Ought such men to com
plain, that under a law saceik ned by Gen. Har
