Town representative. Are the opponents of the reign of humbug ready for the contest?—See to it that nothing is lost by negligence—
By the by, in some parts of the state the Van. ites are trying to make game of old line anti-masons by nominating antimasonic Van Buren men.
Don't be deceived by these tricks.
"The world is governed too much."—Vt. Statesman.
No doubt of it—particularly that part of it called the United States—unless it is governed a great deal better.
The charm at work.
Mississippi has re-elected two Vanites to Congress.
Remember!
Van Buren pledged himself in advance to use the VETO on the slave question. That is the charm intended to operate at the South; and let the North see to it.
A contemptible scribbler in the last Patriot is out with the suggestion that the lecturers on abolition labor from political motives.
Were this the fact, does not the fellow know that MARTIN VAN BUREN has himself thrust the slavery question into politics? The only subject, on which he dared to commit himself in the inaugural address, was the abolition question! Let the "Northern dough-faces" be dumb.
Comfort for the Globe. A New-York paper hints that the Globe is unfaithful to the administration, and that unless it changes its tone and stops misrepresenting the New-York merchants and banks, the state will be lost to Van Buren!
