The elevation of Martin Van Hurcti to the Presidency of these United States, and that too by the means and in the manner resorted to, presents to the people of the South a subject of no or dinary importance; and we believe id to be our right and duty, honestly and dispassionately to submit to our f. llow citizens the reasons which compel us to oppose his election, and the great nece.itv for unanimity oT sentiment anil ac'ion upon tins important tuattvr. If, as declared in our own constitu tion, aL political power is vet-ted in and derived from the people, and a fre quent recurrence tu fundamental prin ciples is absolutely necessary, to pre serve the blessings of liberty, we can iiave no hesitation in sating, that the means resorted to, to foist Martin Van liuren into the Presidential chair, are absolutely subversive and destructive of these truly . repttb.licaoiiriucipl.es. l lie patronage o the government, aid ed by Executive influence, called to gether the Baltimore caucus, whi li, every body knows, was composed 61 individuals elected by "batches and knots" of ten or fifteen persons, most of whom were more eager for the 'spoils of office" than the good ol the country, and none of whom derived n ?.deqwat e pliTrealwer,"forlb&t'. purpose, from the peopje and this caucus, lte mere automaton'of e'xecu- mta will, exercised no other independ? !eniclif"Tpihion "than to confirm the yiominatioii of Martin Van Buren for for: thv Vice President, asthey;; had. bHh prf Vto itjr in4 rtt c f eiliiot StiT ihy the people, bu t by the Executive. 3 " A!iiaroaana iuauuesi aepai vure rotn lundameaul principles, we recog- uze an alarmin? asumntion tit Rawer. y this almost self-constituted caucus U iw Eteeuttve. and subversive f he rights of the people, and destruc ol the blciin$ of liberty. We irt unwilling, as free anil independent citizens, to submit to this dictation nd violation of our rights; and - we 'erily believe that the election of Mar in Van Buren, who was never known oe governed by anvsettled policy ,or to idopt anj pdiiical faith except that hich promoted his own self-nggran-lizement, at the expense of his coun ry, would be attended with dasstroua 'nsequencea to our Union. We 'hold him, in 1814, actively en lS" d in supporting De Wit Clinton, who was the avowed candidate of "the ce partyV' for President, inonpoai 'n to that sage and patriot, James 'ladison, who was in favor of the war fith Great Britain. which contributed an luch to the glory and advancement of TurcounirT.

SoutK yjL-.doSII. TtnteTJlrenmari t 5s uneomiiluliounl to abolish slavery in the District of Co lumbia; and what is inexpedient now, Mr. Van Buren may deem expedient when he gets into power. We are on willing to commit the destinies of the South, in these critical limes, to the guidance atl direetin of an individual so timeserving in his politics, ami so unworthy of our confidence and sup port. In 1828 he was the strenuods advocate of the Tariff", which rivetted the chains of bondage and humiliation u pon the South, . and was - the fou nda tion of that political schism among the members of this confederacy, which threatened the dissolution of the Union, and gave rise to the modern doctrine of nullification. The abolition of slavery, and the Tariff, constitute the Scylla and Charybdis against which it ever mut be the interetil and policy of the South to guard; and if upon these vital subject Mr. Van Buren is not with us, and should receive a majority of the electoral votes, we forbear to express our opinion a to the fate of this confederacy; for there can be but one voice as to these matters at the South. Our northern brethren have nothing to fear from a muthtrn Preti den they have no great interests like these, so delicate, so sensitive, and, at the same time, so intimately identi fied with the political existence oft heir country, and they cannot, therefore, entertain any apprehensions that the hand of .power will officiously endanger their institutions. The partisans of Mr. Van Buren have zealously en deavored to show his scrupulous re gard for the will of his constituents and his Iiiuli sense of implicit obedience to instructions; we shall not stop at present to controvert this doubtful point in his character, butwould only remark; that in the Con vefition in New York, he voted against the article io the Bill of Rights, as reported by the Committee, eivin the rijjht to the neo pie to assemlde together and petition the Lagi-tature for a redress of griev ances. This would, to every retlect ing mind, seem to be a fatal stab to the whole doctrine of instructions, as we believe the people to belhe legiii mate, source whence the . tuht iaia . struct should proceed.

Resolutions were then inlroduced by Constnntine L. Banner Esq, and, after having been read. Col. Moore moved that they be adopted) but said that before the question was taken for their adoption, he hoped that a gen tleman who was then in the meetinz, and who had always been on the Jack son electoral ticket of this State, would tavor ihe fneeting with his views on the approaching Presidential elec tion. The gentleman alluded to. John M, Morehcad Esq. being called for from -jill parts of the house, he ruse and ad dicssed the meeting in a very animat ed, able and appropriate speech, to do justice to which in this report, would be impossible. He reviewed the course pursue- by Van Buren and the "spoils party." and their ridiculous in consistency in assuming to themselves the whole democracy of the country. He said that he had voted for Gen. Jackson in 1824. 1828, and 1832 a- gainst Amg Cavrttt, and thathe would vote for Judge White and against King Caucus in 1836. , In the course of hit remarks he ob served thaMhe Van Buren prints had published a letter said to have been written by Gen. Jackson, approving of the Baltimore Caucus, wSich nom inated Mr. Van Buren and Col. John son, which he believed must be a base forgery; if not, that Gen. Jackson had changed his principles, for all knew that the General and all his friends wore opposed to Caucus in 1824, and that the monster had been put down oy nun mat ii iving uaucus was a monsterira, 1 821, he is a monster in 1836 that it is perfectly consistent lor tne menus nt the Caucus now to support Mn Varflltfrer in 1823, who nominated Mr. Craw ford;but that original- Jackson .men should support him, was too ahayrd to be arknowledzed. And in fine, he! pourtrayed the inconsistency of the Van Buren party with his usual abili ty, and,-witb ch striking vjdejncs of trothnhathemeeTinis TrcquentTy" rcsnnnuei wmt neartf cneers. lhe following resolutions were then unanimously adopted: Whereas, this meetin helier'mr it to be the duty of ai who value lh- blessings of liberty, to soar above local and party- views, have assembled to consult on the surest mesne of going a proper direction to the action of our Government.
