Martin Van Buren. This distinguised Statesman was nominated by the great People’s Convention at. Buffalo, to be supported by the friends of Free Soil for the Presidency. Many hard sayings have been uttered against him both before and since his nomination. But before condemning him upon these charges, we invite the serious attention of men of all parties to the facts of the case. What is the present condition of our country— and what are the questions and the only questions that agitate the public mind now? Is it the National Bank? No.— Is it the Subtreasury ? No. Is it the distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands ? No. Is it the question of Tariff? No. What then is the dividing line ? We assert, without the fear of contradiction, that it is the question of Slavery Extension. Not the Abolition of Slavery where it now exists, but the prohibition of Slavery where it does not now and never did exist. Now how stands Martin Van Buren on this subject? Other subjects are not prominently before the people. And how has Martin Van Buren ever stood on this subject of Slavery Ex-

tension ?

The first we have from him is in 1820; twenty-eight years ago, when the Missouri Compromise bill was pending in Congress. We copy the following from the

Ontario Messenger. Read it.

The noble position of Mr. Van Buren against the extension of Slavery, is not a new attitude with him. It is one that he publicly assumed nearly thirty years ago, if not at a still more distant period. As long ago as the year 1820, the subjoined Preamble and Resolution passed by both branches of the Legislature of this State UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Van Buren,was

Webster and Clay. In his Marsfield speech, Webster says: However estimable as a private citizen. he is a military man, and a military man merely. He has performed no functions of a civil character, under the constitution of his country ; he has been known and only known, by his brilliant achievements at the head of the army. Now the whigs of Massachusetts, and I among them, are of opinion that it was not wise or discreet to go to the army for the selection of a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. It is the first instance in our history in which any man of mere military character has been proposed for that high

office.

We now ask the earnest attention of our readers to the following solemn warning

from the patriot Clay :

In the National Assembly the amended draft of the Constitution was brought forward by M. Voirhage; the first eight articles constitute the Preamble, declaring that France, in order to advance to a higher degree of morality and civilization, proclaims herself a Republic; that the Republic is democratical, one and indivisible; declares obedience to her laws, when duly voted to be a duty ; that each individual ought to support the State according to his fortune, and recognizes that

They are as follows: “Whereas, The inhibiting the further extension of Slavery in the United States, is a subject of deep concern to the people of this State : and whereas, we consider Slavery as an evil much to be deplored and that every constitutional barrier should be interposed to prevent its further extension; and the Constitution of the United States, clearly gives us the right to require new States not comprised within the original boundary of the United Slates to make the prohibition of Slavery a condition of their admission into the

Union: Therefore,

“Resolved, That our Senators be instructed, and our members of Congress be requested to oppose the admission, as a State into the Union of any territory not comprised as aforesaid, without making the prohibition of Slavery therein an indispensihle condition of admission.” Again, when the Florida bill was pend-

The Public Lands.

He was using all his influence against the bill; and that influence was not a little, for it succeeded in connection with the efforts of Silas Wright in defeating for the time being a measure repugnant to his

feelings.

When Texas knocked at our doors for admission with all her Slave territory, where was Martin Buren? Where he had ever been—opposed to the extension of Slavery. And to prove that he was honest in his position, it need only be stated, that his celebrated Texas letter of ’45 defeated his nomination in the Democratic Convention which nominated Polk,

The proper disposition of our public lands, always a subject of great importance, is of special interest at present, in consequence of the great addition recently made

to our national domain.

Until lately, the public lands have been considered as a source of revenue: now, however, the question is presented as one which involves higher considerations, and which will effect greatly the happiness and permanent prosperity of the country.

evil has preyed upon the very vitals of the Union, and has been prejudicial to all the States in which it has existed.” Adams, Madison, Rush, Gates, Clinton, Jay, all concurred in these views, and expressed similar sentiments. It was by these men that the ordinance of 1787 was approved and passed. The ordinance prohibited Slavery in all the territory then belonging to the United State's. The Wilmot Proviso is copied word for word from the ordinance of 1787. The founders of the Constitution prohibited the extension of Slavery in all the territory then possessed. The Free Democracy are determined to follow their example.—N. Y. Globe.

Ex-Senator Haywood.—The last Wilmington (N. C.) Chronicle says: “Some weeks ago we mentioned that ExSenator Haywood, of this State, had declared that he could not support Cass for the Presidency. Since then we have been informed that Mr. H. has openly avowed himself in favor of Van Buren and Free Soil.”

The Harrisburgh (Pa.) Telegraph says that Dr. Luther Reilly, probably the most influential Democrat in Dauphin county, and formerly the Democratic Representative in Congress from that district, has, with a number of his political friends, abandoned Cass and declared for Van Buren. ----------------------------------------- It is said that the Taylor and Cass papers have begun to betray their alarm at the popularity of Van Bnren’s nomination, by raking up all the pro-slavery acts of his former political life, and denouncing him for them. They are probably more concerned about his defunct pro-slavery, than the living pro-slavery of their own candidates.

O! Poor Lewis Cass!—A Democratic poet out West, alluding to Cass’ unfortunate somerset in deserting the Wilmot Proviso, and selling himself to the slavepower, gives vent to his feelings of pity in the following “words that burn :” “O! poor Lewis Cass ! O! poor Lewis Cass ! It strikes us that in this affair You made yourself an—mule.”

CASS, TAYLOR, AND VAN BUREN.

industry its due reward, is an object which well deserves the attention of every citi-

zen.

Viewing the subject in this light, the true policy in regard to the public lands can be stated thus. It is to encourage the early settlement and cultivation of the public lands, by a free grant of them in limited quantities to actual settlers. This is one of the recommendations of the Buffalo platform, and will, no doubt, commend itself to the candid consideration of every man.

Washington said his vole should not be wanting in favor of laws for the general Abolition of Slavery. “ No man living wishes it more sincerely than I do.” Franklin was President of the Society which presented to Congress the first petition for the abatement of Slavery.

Jhi a letter to Dr. Price, of London, who had interested himself in behalf of eman-

“ Northward of the Chesapeake, you may find an opponent to your doctrine, as you may find here and there a robber and a murderer; but in no great number.” Patrick Henry:—“ Would any one believe that I am master of Slaves on my own choice? I will not, I cannot justify it. It would rejoice my very soul, that every one of my fellow beings was eman-

Whig principles of ’44—•-Baltimore resolutions. It has been repeatedly asserted that the whig convention of May, 1844, passed no resolutions and made no declaration of principles. We copy the following resolutions offered by Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, in the convention, and which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in presenting to the country the names of HENRY OLAY for president, find THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN for Vice President, this convention is actuated by the conviction that all of the great principles of the whig party—principles inseparable from the public honor and pros-perity-will he maintained and advanced by the election of these candidates. Resolved, That these principles may he summed as comprising: a well regulated National Currency—a tariff for revenue to defray the necessary expenses of the government, and discriminating with special reference to the protection of the Domestic Labor of the country—the distribution of the proceeds from the public lands—a single term for the Presidency—a reform of Executive usurpations—and generally such an administration of the country; as shall impart to every branch of the public service the greatest possible efliciency controlled by a well regulated and wise economy. Resolved, That the name of Henry Clay needs no eulogy—the history of the country since his first appearance in public life, is his history—its brightest pages of prosperity and success are identified with the principles which he has upheld, as its darker and more disastrous pages are with every material departure in our public policy from those principles. Resolved, That in Theodore Frelinghuysen we present a man pledged alike by his revolutionary ancestry and his own public course to every

measure calculated to sustain honor and interest of the country. The nomination of Mr. Clay was of

itself a resolution—a bold and manly declaration of principles, because Mr.

Clay had for thirty years been the ad

voeale of whig principles. He was a Statesman—his principles had been declared again and again in Congress and in letters and in speeches, and he was the known and acknowledged “ embodiment of whig principles.”— And if a declaration of principles was necessary in 1844 with Mr. Clay, of how much more importance was a declaration in 1848, when a MERE MILITARY MAN was nominated on the ground of drum and fife availabili-

ty.

“ Don't push the South too hard.” At the Spencerport fizzle, where one candidate for Congress made a speech, another offered resolutions—and a third occupied the chair, the great burthen of the orations of the distinguished gentlemen who addressed the boat-load of free passengers, there assembled, was to impress upon them the extreme danger of '' pushing the South too far.” “Don't push the South too hard” said the member from Genesee.” “ Don’t irritate the South” responded the member from Monroe, all being interpreted means, that you may pass resolutions in favor of freedom provided you vote for a candidate who will push Slavery

beyond the Rio Grande.

When these speeches were reported, an old friend who loves a joke, said they reminded him of an occurrence in the time of the Revolution. At the battle of Long Island, a small weasel-ed-face man with a treble voice, who was believed to be more than half tory, commanded a company of volunteer militia. This company was posted behind a fence, so as to command a road along which the British must advance to carry the position. The enemy advanced at double quick-step, and the moment they saw the militia fired a volley into the fence. No one was hurt, but the instant afterwards the voice of the captian was heard from behind a stump, where he had ensconced himself, shrieking to his men. “Don’t fire boys—Don’t fire, you will only

provoke them.”

The South, in attempting to introduce Slavery into Oregon, gave us one volley which, thanks to the Buffalo Convention, did no injury. The smoke has scarcely cleared away, when we hear the cry of the Northern dough-
