ItURKN ?" First of all, then, "ho is nothing but a man ;" altogether unlike himself; bears no resemblance to anything; cares for nobody; nobody cares for him ; belongs, :n politics, to the genu Jlmphibolngia et I'ararita ; born Dec. 5th, 178 J, at Kinderliook, alias, Lindenwold, for more classical elegance. 2dly. He is the nmt person who sanctioned, in a speech delivered before the convention which assembled in New York, on the "J 8th Aug., 18-1, to revise the State Constitution, Ihe freehold qualification foe Senators; thereby excluding the poor mechanic and laborer, who had been so unfortunate as not to have acquired a fins plantation, from holding a seat, among the wealthy nabobs, in the State Senate. Yes! men, whatever might bs their virtue, honesty, talents, information or capacity ; if they were so poor as not to be possessed nf a comfortable fa:m, their misadventnre in life, were to become the sports of a sneering aristocracy, sanctioned by the voice of the wealthy farmer of Kinderhook. See Holland's life of Van Buren, page IC).J 3dly. He is the same, who, in that convention, proscribed wisdom, intelligence and honest ambition, wherever they were associated with that poverty which was destitute of a property qualification, by opposing the doctrine of the poor man right to v.ne. i na committee who reported on the subject of the right of suffrage, were in favor of allowing all person lo vote, who had acquired a temporary residence, paid tax, Vc. ; but Martin Van Buren insisted oa a property qualification aud in his speech said, ' We had already reached the verge of universal suffrage" "he could not consent to undervalue this precious privilege so far as to confer -ft, with an indiscriminate hand upon every one." Again he says, "The question then recurred ; shall an attempt be again made to add that of house-hol ler to the highway qualification, anil run the hazard of the rc-intro-tluction of the proposition of the gentleman from Washington, abandiininz all qualifications, and throicing open tlie ballot-boxes to erery body." Here wc behold this aristocrat expressing his fears of arriving at universal suffrage, which gave the poor man a fresniau's privilege; and because there was not tho tinsel of wealth to gild this kl.iit, undisputed KtuilT, it was "unJcrt'iuiiy this precious privilege." And "to. confer it with an imlisci-iminaling hand upon every one," excited fears iu Mr. Van Buren, that the poor roan would ha brought too near an equality with the wealthy. He feared it was running a great haziard to entrust thi great privilege to so low a creature as a poor man. In another part of the same speech, he tays, '-At this moment, he would only say, that among the many evils which would flow from a wholly unrestricted suffrage, the following would b the most injurious, viz; First, it would giv to the city of New York about S3,000 votes; whilst, tinder the liberal extension of the right on the choice of delegate to this convention, she had but about 13 or 14,000.'" Most astonishing! It would be a great evil then, to give to the remaining 11,000 poor laboring men of the city of XSew York, who were equally intelligent, equally honest, equally competent, the privilege of voting, because they wet destitute of a real property qualification!!! Down wita such pseudo democracy i.uell the voice of the British aristocrat, for it upbraid the sound, and dishonors tho aame of "high-minded republican!!" For the above quotations, see Holland' life of Van Buren, p. 177-9. 4th. II is the same who opposed the election of Justices of the Peace, in that con-ention. He wished them appointed, so a to curtail, as much as j ossible, the privileges of the dear people." On this he says, '-.Some bad tho't these magistrates ought to be elected; but he bad at all times been opposed to their election." See the above life of Van Buren, p. 1S5.J (To be contiau-d.)

Here are some of his votes, taken from the Journals of the Senate, whilst he was a member: " Apiil '23, 1627.

We copy the follow n$ excellent account from the Charleston Courier of Monday last: On Saturday last Charleston was honored by the expected visit of Mr. Clay; and she gave him a warm and enthusiastic welcome a recaption marked by the highest demonstrations of repct and homage, and in every way worthy of her ancient fame fur l.ospi tali ty and kindness. At 2 o'clock, P. M . Se firng of signal guns, by a detachmenr of Captain Wagner's German Artillery, announced the approach aud arritil at the upper Depository, of the illustrious guest, to the ruocourse of citizens assembled iu the vicinity to witness tod hail ;he grateful event. The firing at the Depository was answered by a detachment from Captain Gyles' Mirion Artillery, stationed at the Battery. .The car containing Mr. Clay, accompanied by Colonel Preston and Co. Hampton, and the Charleston Committee, which condoned Mr. Clay from Columbia, detached from the general train, proceeded to the next cross street below, and then Mr. Clay was received and welcomed by the Committee if of Arrangements, amid loud and joyous huzzas, which siade the welkin ring. A large and imposing procession was then formed, under the direction of the marshals of the dv, to conduct the honored guest to the city. At the head of the procession was a schooner rigsed boat, manned by sailors, and drawn on a car, with a banner bearing the inscriptjan "Henry Clay, the advocate of Sailors' Ii iglit-' ('lowed by a large body of seamen, under the command ofCaptains Hunt and Perry, marching to the enlivening notesof a fine band if music.

An imneiisa line of carriages succeeded, containing the Cotnmittff of Reception and other citizens, forming one of the latest prjces'i ns we have ever seen in Charleston. The procession mosd along King strett through the business portion of wind it passed under various tasteful arches, some of them emmosed of evergreens and flowers, thrown across the street, an Iconta in ing emblematic devices and appropriate inscriptons, such as "Welcome to Henry ("lav." "Welcome, thrice welcome, briirht Star of the ' West' dowu to Brad St., and thenco along Brond to Meeting street, and m Mretin ' street to the Theatre. Durine the whole courseof the procession the side walks were . thronged with specta ,rs, and the windows nd balconies of the adjacent house weie crowdcu and graced ty the j ,ovely .laughters of tb city, who occasionally showered a ! flowery as well as ai. tiling welcome on the illustrious strapger. At in:era dur.ng the progress, loud shouts of welcome filled the air. and they were repeated over again, with deafening effect, n the nrri'.al at the Theatre. O i re icuing the Thmtre, Mr. Clay was conducted iiito the interior of the huiliing, where the ladies were already ; assembled in their appiniad seats, and into which the a.--! compaiiyiug crowd t( citizens rusheil wiih eager anxiety, fearful of lusiig the opportunity (as wo are sorry to say an immense mnihrr did ) of hearing the far famed ' orator of the Wes'.

Well may tho editors of tho Globe spend time and money in advocating the doctrine of froo trade. Much has been said by the lx-os in respect to money paid to Gales & Sea ton. They wuro e locted printers under a joint resolution of Congress passt.nl on tho 3rd of March lfnlf, fixing tho price to bo paid, which was signed by tho President, as the rcmilar enactments of Congress are. That law has never been legally repealed, and of course is in full force. True, the Whigs did pass a mere resolution reducing the price of printing, but a law signed by the President cannot be re-ioal-d by a simplo resolution. The repealing law must bo in tho same form of tho enacting law. Had it boon jiossiblo for Galea & Seaton to have sued the government.they could have collected their bill under the law of 1SPJ. This w as found to be the case by Congress, and as honest men they allowed the printers what they could have obtained in a suit at law. Wo believe the prico of printing is to high extravagantly high, and that the law of 1811). should bo rejiealed or amended, and entirely dis. j connected with tho political press. j It further appears from dixuiments that tho rvtra printing paid for to Gales &z Seaton from the 4th of December 1813 to the 2Dth March 1SH was $2,70(.30, and the amount of extra printing paid for to HIair ec Rives, printers to the Wo House of Representatives, during tho same time, amounted to 8122,500. Tho great profit in printing arises from the largo number of docu- ' ments printed, and for that roason, if tho senate , should reduce its price of printing 15 per cent. tho House should reduce its at least it) per cent.

If a whig says ho is for competing with foreigners ho means ujtou a parfoct reciprocity of free trade, or equal countervailing duties ; and a loco using tho same expression means that tho ports of this country should lo free to tho world w ithout regard to tho jio'.icy of other nations, and then let the Americans compile with foreigners if they can! A garbled extract is a forgery, and Mr. Pattison by his ow n confession has proven himself a worthy compeer of his loco friend Rill Rrown who has disgraced himself and thn constituency ho misrepresents ill Congress. Ilo too committed a forgery, base ami criminal Ilo introduced a resolution in tho House, iu which ho declared

I that he quoted Mr. Clay's precise words, and as. sorted that tho follow ing words were to lie found in a speech delivered by Mr. Clay in .flic Senate in IS 11: "THERE IS XO .VECT!SS!TV FOR PROTECTION." Mr. Clay did use this expression. No ono doubts it; and it is probable that Mr. Clay used tho words quoted by tho editor of tho Jeffcrsoni an, but they are both garbled, and misrepresent altogether the opinions of Mr. Clay. We havo not a copy of the letter referred too by Mr. Pat-' tison, if there is such a letter iu existence, but Rill Brow n furnished Congress the proof of his own infamy. Mr. Clay said: "There is no ncccssity of protection, FOR PRC TECT1( N." C-ouId there be a moro infamous perversion of lain gunge? Would an honest man thus pervert tho language and sentiments of another? Ho would not; but loeofocos have done it, and the hissing hot brand of infamy should mark them as unworthy the association of all honorable men. Mr. Clay has at all times, and on all occasions declared himself in favor of PR JTECTION, and we defy tho editor ef the Jeflersonian to lrii lorwanl one solitary instance to tho contrary. He cannot do it, unless he moanly steals ami garbles tho language of Mr. Clay, as ho has done in the quotation at the head of this article. Wo challenge him to the cfiort. Tho principle of protect 'on is one of imjiortanco, and tho opinions of the call 's didates for the; presidency should bo fully under- ' stood ujion this subject.
