PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN.

"How then are the Opposition to settle the matter of precedence? By the most simple of all modes. It is admitted on all hands, that as between the three Opposition candidates, Mr. Webster is the most popular in some States, Gen. Harrison in others, and Judge White in another class of States. Let then the Whigs indulge their personal preferences to a reasonable extent, and no further. In those States where Mr. Webster takes the lead, an electoral ticket friendly to him, should be nominated, but who, in the event of his not proving the most formidable candidate in the whole Union, would be willing to cast their votes in favor of either of the other Whig candidates. In such a case, this ticket would unite all the friends of Harrison and White. Where Harrison is the leading Whig candidate, an electoral ticket should be formed of those friendly to his elevation, but who would not hesitate to vote for Webster or White, if it would turn the scale against Mr. Van Buren. The same system should be pursued in the States which are favorable to Judge White. By such a course, pursued in good faith, and systematically, and by such means alone, Mr. Van Buren can be defeated with certainty, and the Opposition come off triumphant."—Boston Gazette, May 26.

Such is the scheme by which the People are to be cheated out of their votes! They are to vote with their eyes blindfolded—and perhaps Mr. Webster palmed upon the South as President of the U. States! Those who prefer Van Buren to Harrison, are also to be cheated into the support of the General. And if need be, the election is to be transferred from the Electoral Colleges to the H. of R. Never was there a juggle better contrived for cheating the majority out of their choice—and palming a minority candidate upon the People of the U. States. Will they submit to this manoeuvre of the managers?

The Wheeling Advertiser has already taken the bull by the horns. It republishes the White Whig Caucus Electoral Ticket—under the head of W. H. Harrison for President, and John Tyler for V. P. The same paper calls upon the friends of Gen. Harrison to meet at the Court-House on the 11th, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Staunton Convention—and claims "the people here (Wheeling?) as almost unanimously the friends of Gen. Harrison. Judge White's name seems dropped in Western Virginia, among the Whigs. Harrison is the Hero of the Day.

The Lexington Union, the Lynchburg Virginian &c., &c., have adopted the term of Union Ticket—and the Staunton Convention is to be converted into an Union Convention—Gen. Harrison's friends taking the lead, and controlling its movements. Never was so motley, piebald a Coalition banded together—since the Gathering in the Ark.

It gives us pleasure to state, that the publication of the Lynchburg Democrat will be resumed in a few days.
