Toward the attainment of these ends:

every species of military equipment.
We should gradualy increase our navy,
as the increase of population, and the resources
of the nation will permit."

For this the entire Whig party condemn
him. Uc has supported the Proclamation

the IVullifiers condemn him. If Ids name
urcre withdraw n, not thr smallest rhaticc
of election would be Jell for Webster, or
llarrison, or Clay; and Van Burcn would
certainly receive a majority of the electoral

Van Buren a snflj-irnt number of rote* to

the rery act of prayer at the Methodist

Rev. Mr. Storrs was aboot to deliver an
Abolition lecture it appears, and while in
the very act of making a medium of the
Almighty through which to abuse a large
portion of the people of the only really
free country on earth; he lost bis own
freedom by means of a town constable.
And wbile he was praying earnestly for
the liberty of the Southern slaves to cut
their masters' throats, his own liberty was
.placed iu the hands of a citchpole wha
had no other warrant for the act than thej
laws of tho > lanrlr and carried inconti
