We lika to hoar them crow occasionally, just for

" We have not seen full returns from Connecti

a majority on joint ballot, which will enable them
finally to elect their governor, and a U. S. Sena

Senator in the place of the Hon, John M. Niles,
(dem.) whose term does not expire until the 4th
of March, 1849 merely because he has been un

It is said that the coons bargained with the
abolitionists to assist them in bringing about this
result, and promised them in return a U. S. Sen

. The coon vote ia the state is about 1,798 less
than it was in 1840. There has cither been a
great falling off in their strength, or they laid
pipe in 1840! While on the other hand the
Democratic vote has been increased about 3,118
since 1840, and about 1 ,000 greater than it ever
was before.

Tho South Carolina papers say that Mr, Cal
houn goes into the cabinet with a disposition to
compromise away a portion of Oregon to Eng
land. Wo hope this is not so, but in truth we
fear, judging from tho past course of Mr, Calhoun
in relation to the territory of Oregon, that ho is
not the man at this time, who will maintain our
rights. Our title to Oregon from tho 42d paral
lei of North latitude to 51 deg, 40 inin. North
latitude, is as clear as our title to the State of
Ohio, and if Mr, Calhoun is willing to givo one
half of this away, he will soon learn that the
American people understand the art of pulling
triggers? Forthelifeof us we never could see
any thing to negotiate about. It Is the duty of
Congress to organize a territorial Government
forthwith, and protect our citizens who have lo
cated or may hereafter locate, west of tho Rocky
mountains. These foreign lords who come over
the water to negotiate for that which docs not
belong to them, should be kicked from our shores.

MARTIN TAX BI REV
The I. ale War Federal Iff Urepreseuia
lion Exposed base Falsehoods nailed
to the counter Facts taken from His
tory Itead and Circulate.
The following article credited to an Albany
paper, we find in the Wheeling Times of a late
It is a notorious and incontrovertible fact, that
Martin Van Buren was the steady and active op
ponent of the last War. He was the organ of
the Peace Party, and the bitter denouncer of Mr.
Madison and the strong friends of that conflict,
so" glorious in its character and its results. Let
this be remembered! Albany Daily Citizen.
And a paper nearer home, the Cadiz Whig
Standard has the following, which ia part of a
three column notice of the Sentinel
"The party known as the Republican party,
were the advocates of the war of 1812. fromi-
neut among its opponents, were Martin Van Bu
ren of New York, and James Buchanan of Penn
sylvania : m opposition to James Madison, the
Republican President, and friend of the war,"
&c. &c.
Now mark how plain a statement will put these
falsehoods down. Wc shall show that instead of
Mr. Van Buren being opposed to the late war, he
was its eloquent and zealous supporter and wc
pledge our veracity as a man, that all the facts
we collect below, are authentic, and every reader
may place the fullest confidence in them
la 1809, Mr. Van Buren resided at Hudson
when he first began to take a part in politics.'
On the 31st of January in that year a meeting of
the democratic citizens of that place was held
"friendly to the measures of the government in
their resistance to the outrages of foreign pow
ers, and determined to support them in the exer
cise of their legal duties and constitutional au
thorities." Mr. Jefferson was then President.
At this meeting Mr. Van Buren was appointed
chairman on the committee to draft resolutions,
and before they were presented to the meeting,
according to the "Bee1! newspaper, he made a
speech of considerable length and of varied
and unquestioned excellence. His address (says
that paper) reflected ihe highest credit upon his
talents as an orator, his patriotism as an Ameri
can, and his feelings as a man. The wrongs of
our country, the forbearance of our Government,
the unprincipled conduct of the Opposition, and
the duty of every good citizen to support the laws
and constituted authority of the nation, were ex
pressed in language glowing with the riches of
eloquence and animated with the fire of patriot
ism and energy of truth. He concluded by of
fering a series of resolutions, a portion of which
we here insert, not having room for them all :
"Rcsohcd, That the citizens here assembled.
aving full confidence in the wisdom and patriot
sm of the President, Vice President, and Con-
gross of the United States, feel themselves bound
by every tic which attaches them to their coun
try, thus publicly to express that confidence, and
to testify their readiness to support them in the
measures tliey have adopted, to protect and de
tenu tiie Honor and interest ot our country.
The following resolution gives an accurate
description of the present federal whig party,
who resort to log cabin and hard cider gull traps
to catch votes. The same party in 1809, when
Mr. Van Buren penned these resolutions, had as
much contempt for the intelligence of tho people
as they have now.
"Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, that
they entertain a high regard and estimation for
the rights of opinion and fiee discussion, and that
they will always be found opposed to any at
tempts to destroy or impair those inestimable
privileges; but that they are constrained to say
that the leaders of the present Opposition, by
their unparalleled industry in representing us to
the nations of Europe as a divided people by
their constant ana virulent clamors against the
measures of Government, without even daring to
propose a substitute by their gross and wanton
misrepresentations of the motives and conduct of
the Administration by their seditious and tu
multuous proceedings at public meetings, sacrifi
cing the honor, and jeopardizing the interests of
tho nation by their obvious and unprincipled
predilection and partiality for one of tho enemies
of our country, by their countenancing, and
thereby encouraging the violation of our laws,
and their open disrespect of the constituted au
thorities by exciting a spirit of disaffection and
anarchy by addressing themselves to the basest,
anu setting in motion the vilest and most aban
doned, passions of tho public and by their total
disregard to truth in their discussions and ani
madversions upon the measures of Government
have forfeited all claim to public confidence.
and merit the imprecations of an enlightened and
nonor a Die people.
"Resolved, J hat the members of this meeting
entertaining a high and undiminished regard for
the constituted authorities of our country and
warmiy ana lervently devoted to the honor and
interests, do solemnly engage to support the gov
ernment in the measures which they hare adopt
ed, or may adopt, to obtain redress for our nation
al injuries and protection to our national rights;
that they never will be driven from a fair and
manly support of this resolution by the power of
our enemies, or tiie threats ot taction ; and that

In 1810 Mr. V. B. reported and sustained res
olutions' in meetings at Hudson, in support of
James Madison, and responded to the nomination
of Daniel D. Tompkins for Governor, and John
Broome for Lieut, Governor, In one of the res
olutions he spoke of the course pursued by the
federal party, saying among other things
"That by their total prostitution of principle,
and utter disregard of the first duties which they
owe to their country, they are sowing the seeds
of future and permanent distresses; and that
when we behold them exerting every faculty
and straining every nerve to justify or to palliate
(as the occasiom may require) tho unheard of
pcrnoy, tne disgusting duplicity, and the tyranni
cal oppression of the British Government, at the
same time attributing to the government of their
own country the injurious effects of that perfidy,
that hypocrisy, ana that oppression, we feel our
selves justified in doclaring that they are either
the abject slaves of the most inveterate lust for
office and power, or that they indulge a criminal
predilection for that nation, at tho expense of
their own country, its honor, ana its best inter
ests." - ' '
- In 161, April 8, at a democrulic meeting in
j Hudson, Mr. V. B. offered the following among!
'other resolutions: '
Resolved, That we still entertain undiminish
ed confidence in the integrity, wisdom and
patriotism of James Madison, President of,the
United States, that we have fully realized, in
his administration, what we fondly anticipated
before his election, and that he is entirely enti
tled to the esteem and veneration of every con
sistent republican."
In the spring of 1812, the republican members
of the New York Legislature nominated De Witt
Clinton, as a candidate for the Presidency.
In April, 1812, Mr. Van Buren was elected a
member of the Senate of New York.
Mr. Van Buren, in giving his support to the
nomination of Mr. Clinton, consulted what he
believed to bo the wishes of the Republican par
ty in the State of New York. The Federalists
in the New York Legislature in 1812, did not
vote for the Clintou electoral ticket; but ran one
of their own to which they gave 40 votes. None
but Republicans voted for the Clinton ticket, and
up to that time Clinton's fidelity to Republican
principles had never been called in question
A third, or Anti-Clinton ticket, was run by a
portion of the Republican party, which received
twenty-eight votes, while the regular Republican
or Clinton ticket received seventy-four votes, all
thorough Republicans, friends of the war and its
vigorous prosecution. This vote so far from pro
ving that Mr. Van Buren was a Federalist, proves
exactly the reverse ; for Clinton was the nomina
ted candidate for the Republicans of New York
It was not until about seven year afterwards that
Clinton separated himself from the Republican
party, and became a favorite with the federalists."
In June, 1812, war was declared.
In November, 1812, the Legislature, and Mr.
Van Buren, one of a committee for that purpose
wrote a reply to the Governor's speech, fully
sustaining the declaration of war.
When that reply was under discussion, he vo
ted against proposed amendments, condemning
the war.
In March, 1813, he made a report in the Sen
ate, laudatory of our brave navy, and evincing
continued confidence in the acts of the General
Government.
He voted for a resolution authorizing the Comp
troller to subscribe $500,000 to a loan proposed
by the General Government as means for carry
ing on the war.
In 1813, March 9, the Republican members of
the Legislature made an "address to their con
stituents," which was from the pen of Mr. Van
Buren. We quote from that address the follow
ing eloquent and patriotic sentiments, and request
the opposition as well as our democratic friends
to peruse it with attention. It is of itself a most
triumphant vindication of the course of Mr. V.
B. and should bring deep crimson on Ihe cheek!
of that person who could have tho hardihood to
say that he was opposed to the last war. Again
we say read it:
Fellow-Citizens: Your country is at war,
and Great Britain is her enemy Indulge us in a
brief examination of the causes which have led
to it; and brief as from the necessary limits of an
address it must be, we yet hope it will bo found
sufficient to convince every honest man of the
high justice, and indispensable necessity of the
attitude which our government has taken; of the
sacred duty of every real American, to support
tt in that attitude and of the parricidal views of
those who rejusc to do so.
After a summary of the causes which brought
on the war, the address goes on
Under such accumulated circumstances of in
sult and of injury, we ask again, what was your
Government to do? We put the question, not
"to that faction which misrepresents the govern
ment to the people, and the people to the gov
ernment; traduces one half of the nation to ca
jole the other and by keeping up distrust and
division, wishes to become the proud arbiter ol
the fortune and fame of America" not to them,
but to every soundhead and honest heart in the
nation it is that we put the question: What was
your Government to dot Was she basely and
ingloriously to abandon the rights for which you
and your fathers fought and bled? Was she so
early to cower to tiie nation which had sought to
strangle us in our infancy, and which has never
ceased to retard our approach to manhood? No:
we will not for a moment doubt, that every man
who is in truth and in fact an American, will say
that WAR, AND WAR ALONE, was our only
refuge from national degradation; and our only
course to national prosperity.
But to crown this picture of folly, and of mis
chief, they approach you under a garb which at
once evinces their contempt for your understand
ing, and their total want of confidence in your pa
triotism: under a garb which should receive the
most distinct marks of yout detestation; they are
"THIS l'lUJUINDS OJt PISAUli!" While our
enemies are waging against us as a cruel and
bloody war, they cry "Peace !" While our wes
tern wilds are withering with the bones of our
murdered women and children, whilo their
blood is yet trickling down tiie walls of their for
mer habitations while tho Indian war whoop
and the British drum, are in unison saluting the
ears, and the British dagger and the Indian toma
hawk suspended over the heads of our citizens
at such a time, when the soul of every man
who has sensibility to feel his country's wrongs
and the spirit to defend her rights, should be in
arms it is that they cry peace ! While the brave
American tar, the intrepid defender of our rights.
and redeemer of our national character, the pres
ent boast and tuture honor of our land, is lm
pressed by force into a service he detests, which
compels a brother to imbue his hands in a broth
er's blood, while he is yet "tossing upon the sur
face of the ocean, and mingling his groans with
those tempests less savage than his persecutors.
that waft him to a returnless distance from his
family and his home"- it is at such a period
when thero can be no peace, without sacrificing
every thing valuablo that our feelings are in
sulted, the public arm paralizea, and the public
ear stunned by the dastardly and incessant cry of
i'eace! what, tellow-citizens.must be tho opin

be so stupid as not to perceive that it is an ap

the baser passions which actuate the human
heart? , That it is approaching you in the manner
in which alone those puny politicians who buz

say you aro accessible through yourfeart and
your pockets?, Can any American citizen be to
profligate as not to spurn indignantly the base
libel on his character?
Suffer yourselves not to be deceived by thj
pretence, that because Great Britain has been
forced by her subjects to make a qualified appeal
of her orders, our Government ought to abandon
ber ground. That ground was taken to resist
two great and crying grievances, the destruction
of our commerce, and the impressment of our
teamen. The latter is the most important, in
proportion as we prefer liberty and the lives of our
citizens to their property. Distrust, therefore,
the man who could advise your Government at
any time, and more especially at this lime when
your-brave sailors are exciting the admiration,
and forcing the respect of an astonished world,
when their deeds of heroic valor make old Ocean
smile at the humiliation of her ancient tyrant
at such a time, we say again, mark the man who

He was the author of the eloquent appeal to
the people of New York by the republican mem
bers of the legislature in suppoit of the war,
which did much to secure the re-election of D.
D. Tompkins to the office of Governor in April,
1813.
At the session of 1813-14 Mr. Van Buren
was still the eloquent defender of the war, of I
the patriotic Governor Tompkins, and the Re
publican administration of the General Govern
ment.
At the close of the session, on the 14th April
1814, he addressed a large and general meeting
of the Republicans at Albany, with great energy
and effect; and in conclusion, presented a pream
ble and resolutions eloquent in defence of the
war, and in just denunciation of the atrocious
conduct of the Federal leaders,
His efforts to secure the triumph of the Re
publican party in the spring of 1814, pla
ced the entire government of the State in their
hands,
At an extra session of the Legislature, held in
the full of the disastrous year of 1814, Mr. Van
Buren was again the anthor of an eloquent reply
to the speech of Governor Tompkins, full of de
volion to the rights, interests, and honor of his
country.
This first step was followed up by an ardent
support of sufficient warmeasures, among which
was an act to raise and put at the disposition of
the General Government for two years an army
of 12,000 men. This act was not only support
ed, but originally drawn up by Mr. Van Buren.
In February, 1815, Mr. Van Buren drew up
the resolutions adopted by the State of N. York
approving with enthusiasm the conduct of Gen
Jackson and his brave army, in the defence of
ew Orleans.
We quote tho resolutions:
"Resolved, Unanimously, as the sense of this
Legislature, lhat Major General Andrew Jack
son, and the gallant officers and soldiers under
is command, for their noble defence of the city
ot New Orleans, that important military post an
grand emporium of commerce, especially in the
ever memorable conflict of the 8th of January
last, do eminently deserve the unanimous ap-
ause and the lasting gratitude ot their country
"Resolved, unanunoasly, I hat the thanks of
us legislature be and they are hereby presented
Major General Jackson, and the officers and
soldiers under Ins command for that heroic and
glo
orious achievement."
In the same month ho drew uparcport recom
mending to tho legislature a loan of 350,000 to
the General Government to pay the militia, which
had been discharged from the service without
compensation, in consequence of the exhausted
condition of the National Treasury.
In that year, he was appointed by the Republi
can party Attorney General of the State, and in
the fall, being still a member of the Senate, he
was selected to write the answer to the Gover
nor's speech.
Fellow-citizens, above you have TIIE FACTS
relative to the course pursued by Martin Van
Buren in relation to tho last year. We ask you
to preserve this paper, and when your unprinci
pled opponents have aught to say against him as
regards that war, refute it on the spot, and don't
by any means let them escaps until they acknowl
edge their error.
A few of the opposition have the honesty to do
justice to Mr. Van Buren, and among this class
we may enumerate Col. Stone, of the Commer
cial Advertiser, New York, whose letter was re
ccntly published in the Sentinel. . It is only the
reckless coon editors who have the impudence
to reiterate the oft refuted charge that Mr. Van
Buren opposed the lato war, and they seem to
practice on the sentiment that "a lie once told,
and well stuck to, is as good as tho truth."
Is Mr. Clay for Protection! ,
03rMr. Clay goes more and more for Free
Trade, as he travels on and talks. His last speech
was a few days since at Columbus, Georgia. He
now declares himself for the Compromise in fu
ture!!! Hear him, hear him. He said of the
Compromise: .
"Influenced by a desiro to avert the coming
danger, anxious to perpetuate tho union and give
place to a distracted country, ho had brought
forward the compromise act, and aided in its
passage. In his subsequent life he had adhered
to its provisions Qpand should bo so in fu
ture!'.
In Clay's Hanover speech, of tho 17th June,
1840, ho asserts these principles to be those en
tained by him on the subject of protection :
"The question cannot be, ought not to be, but
of measure and degree. I adopt that of the com
promise act, not because it is irreparable, but
because it met the sanction of the nation. Sta
bility with moderate and certain protection, is
far more important than instability, the necessa
ry consequenco of high protection. BUT TIIE
PROTECTION . OP THE COMPROMISE
ACT WILL BE ADEQUATE for the most, if
not as to all, interests. ' The twenty per cent
which it stipulates, cauh duties, home valuations.
and the list of free articles inserted in tho act for
the particular advantage of the manufacturer, will
insure, I trust, SUFFICIENT PROTECTION."
An arrival from Carthagena brings accounts of
a battle fought at Santa Rosa, (Peru) between
Gen. Guardo, and the insurgents under Costollo
and Nieto, in which the former was defeated and
their whole infantry taken prisoners. Gen Santa
Cruz, it is said, landed in Peru to take part in
tho revolutionary movements, and it was reported
had been taken prisoner.

ie democracy, in every section of our beloved
country. It is easy to assert- that a particular
State is certain for Mr. Van Buren or Mr. Clay,
but mere assertions have little weight now-a-days.
People like to deal in facts and figures,, rather
than assertions and guessing. In 1S40 manyof
the states composing the old democratic phalanx,
deviated from the path of rectitude and correct
principles; but how do they stand now? It will
be seen by the statement below, that all the er
ring states have nobly redeemed themselves
from Ihe stains of hard cider foolery. Is it rea
sonable to suppose that they will again embrace
the harlot, federalism ? We trow not. .
HOW STANDS TIIE UNION!
New York. We compare the result of the
last Presidential campaign in 1840, in that State
with the prospects of 1844, what a cheering con
trast presents itself. 1 hen the Legislature stood,
in tho Senate, 21 whigs to 11 democrats, and
in the assembly 00 whigs to 02 democrats,

-In 1840 the Legislature stood, in
the Senate 12 whigs and 5 democrats, House
28 whids. nnd 18 democrats, whig maiority on

Governor by a majoiity of 6,000.
New Jersey. In 1840, the whig rnajorty on
the popular vote was 2,417, whig majority in
the Council 8, and 29 whig majority in the As

'Mississippi. In 1840 the whig majority on
the popular vote, was 2,523, at the late election,
they have elected a democratic Governor, and a
demociatic majority of 33 on joint ballot.
Ohio. In 1840 had 23,:301 whig majority

12 out of 21 congressmen tho whigs enjoy an ac

the Legislature.
Connecticut, Gave tho whigs in 1840 6,-
330 maioritv on the "popular vote, a maiority ill
both branches of the Legislature, and tho entire
congressional delegation. Now the whole del
egation in congress is democratic, and the popu

Louisana, In 1840, the whig majority was
3,679 and a whig maiority of the congressional
delegation, now the congressmen are all demo

LOOK UPON THIS PICTURE.
Having a little leisure the other evening we
put ourselves to some trouble to collect and ar
range in methodical form the various names as
sumed at different times by the opponents and
enemies of democracy. J ust glance your eye
over tho beautiful picture! How well it would
look in a menagerie! "Come, Jim, and stir up
the monkeys!"
Whenever a man changes his name, and is
known in ono section of tho country as Smith,
in another as Brown, in another as Scrogg'ms,&x.
the public conclude that he is a great rascal!
Who would belong to a party that adopt so many
aliases? It looks suspicious "something rot
ten in the State of Denmark."

' 0O""My son," said old Oily Gammon, the law
yer, as he was sending young Gammon into the
world, filled to the brim with Coke and Plowden;
"my son , in your professional career, never admit
any thing that will favor the cause of your adver
sary. Deny every statementyour opponent may
advance deny, call for the proof, and still deny
for I can tell you from experience, successful
denial is nine parts of the 7n"
Tho federal editors take Oily Gammon's ad
vice to themselves, and every statement that is
made in the. Democratic papers relative to their
Janus-faced candidate for the Presidency, they
cither deny or pronounce a forgery! What a
convenient method that is of replying to stub
born facts, and answering irrcsistable arguments!
They have discovered that Henry Clay keeps
no commiltce to do his thinking. He writes and
publishes his own letters; and if his opinions for
tho southern market are unpalateablo to tho tasto
of his supporters in the north, it surely is not our
fault. '
Every thing wc have yet published as coming
from Mr. Clay, on the subject of the Tariff', has
been first published in the southern federal sheets.
The Richmond Whig, Mobile Tribune, and N.
Orleans Bee, claim Mr. Clay as the exclusive
friend of Southern opinions. These papers
support hirn, not because he is a slaveholder, not
because his hands aro stained with the blood of
is fellow, not becauso ho adopts Southern fash
ions and desocrates the sabbath but they sup
port him, because they claim him to bo "more of
free trade man than Mr. Van Buren.
Will a single foderal sheet in this Congression
al District dare publish Mr. Clay's recently avow-'
ed opinions on the subject of a'Proteclive Tariff'?
will they dare publish his letter to Dr. Bronson,
editor of tho Mobile Tribune? We shall sff.
Diabolical Murder.
