dy. If a cause were ever argued in the Court of Errors while Mr. Van Puren was a judge thereof in which he was not employed as Cuur.el, we shouhl be pleastel to have the Argus point it out, and tell us where the opinion of Xcna'or Van Puren can be found. (In tic aa,ae daj.s th.'d he earned his cuunstf fee In tii-guinca et cause, brf.irc the Ciurl of Errors, he aso rcctice his

the irbd of Gen. IIuU he leccivcd a fee

from Government of 8". 000, and, we

think, a like sum in the case of General

Wdson. Such were his 'spoils' gleaned from the war in which Ilarrbon did the

fighiius'. ' Mr. Van Iluren never fought, but he once came so near it is almost to smell rnn-powder. The late John Suyilam challenged him. And what think, you v .i .x- . 1 1 . . . . ..;l. Ciwiffn

Mr. Van Pnren's southern principles oozed out, and he refused to accept the challenge, because the bearer of it, the late Hon. Thomas P. Grosvcuor a man as much his superior as a statesman, a scholar, and a :entleinan, as the meridi

an sun is brighter than the dad lights on

which he filled with so much credit to himself and honor U; his country. Those who adhere to the principles which the friends e-f Jackson then professed will find me still .vith them. I am aware that a portion of the Van Iluren party will bitterly condemn my .course, and charge in-? wi.h desertion of my principles in lhe hope of pursuadinj my old friends that I have changed. That is not true.

My principles are the same the princi

ples which brought Gen. Jackson into

power. They may, perhaps, set me

lown as Conservative. vi ell, ne n so.

They are at liberty to call me bv this or

my oilier nam.; but t must nave me

as I had servt.. old hero of Fort I would go on and serVan Iluren. In tlna conclu... found I had erred. There were ences, I found, between the central committee and myself on subjects of vital interest to the county, which coulu not

..be reconciled. When I airain leviewed

the late message of the President to Congress, his former dictatorial message, and the destructive measures of (I camiot say a true Jackson legislature, but) the Ohio Legislature, which were bringing ruin upihe country, it was apparent, if I retained a place in that committee, I should be compelled to sanction with my name w hat my judgement condemned and my love of country abhored. Under these considerations, I plucked up courage (as l had often done before, under the "Old Granny and coward" as some call him) and resigned mv membeiship in said committee. I now regret that l had not act

ed with mote energy and decision, and at on e followed the dictates of mv con-

science, which by day and by niht, ad

monished me of m duty, in regard to this important matter, until I almost hated myself for limiting so long between two opinions. Perhaps, .I ought to ask pardon of the "Democratic State Centcra! Committee" for my waving conduct but shackles are broken, and thank God, I am once more a free man! And, as long as I live, I intend to be so. I will only further remark, in conclusion, that with my decided approbation of the old chief and determination to support him by all proper means, I cannot

share in any proceedings which smack of

dictation to the people. I he people, in my opinion, are abundantly capable, without the help of dictators, to choose their own officers. I desire further to say to all my old Jackson friends in the city

ar.d surrounding counties, that my house is open from tins time to the Presidential

election and that l will esteem it as a lavor, if they will all call on me, whenever they lind it convenient. "They w ill

never find my door shut and the string of

ltd in." We will confer

with one another, and reason together

of our common and beloved country. I am sir r ,-ur obedient servant, JOHN McELVAlN.

a Milp s oeciv was urn in "j a gentleman. Had Mr. Van Buren re

fused to accent the challenge for the rea

son that he was in principle opposed to

duelling, we would commend him tor it:

but in 'placing his refusal upon such rround he exhibited the unprincipled

calumniator and the craven. Do the

proud sons of the South desire to ingrali unon their chivalrous stock this aspen of

North? Is this the picture they

would have hung up in their gallery of

heroes as the embodiment ot Southern

principles!

A deceitful man is to be pardoned he

deceives himself more ihtm he rsn vr

pnvi'.fge of voting for who I pleise. I am resolved not to be collared by party

names. There is m material uihjren--e

between the great bulk of lhe two parties, as to the manner in which they desire the

Government to be administered. I he uwlertuces, 1 beucve to be among the politicians on both sides, whose ohjeel is to rather a harvest of "fat things" for themselves, and equally at the expense of the people. It is a proud name enough for me, that I can simply call myself an American Citizen. 1 wish to be known by no oth

er. 1 will acknowledge no ouier. I am tired of deception. Names are nothing. Honesty of "purpose is everything. I therefore support my o'.d Geneial and fellow soldier, not as a party man, but because know him and know him to be i I

a brave man, a tiue patriot ana a capan.e statesman, and, knowing him as I do, had I ten thousand votes they should all be

his in preference to -..n Buren. If it was necessary, I could go into deta'd in "ivin? reasons for my preference of General Harrison. But I expect to meet personally with most of my old political friends and associates, and will with great

pleasure explain veibally why 1 am constrained to sustain General Harrison.
