Wc find the foHowing in the State Journal o( Inst weck: Tuk Unio.w - Forilte v9t of Mr. Vnn Buren to t Ij ís placc.ihe Comniittoe o)' Ai innenicnts consisteil cntirely of' locos, nnd aboütioniss.

This article is designed to convey itnpressions the verv reverse of the facts. Itisa pitiful attempt to spread falschood under the garb d!' tru;h. It is not true that there was a :union of lócoisin and aholitionists to do honor to the Northern man with Southern principies." The assi'ition iscntirely fnlse. The names of iwo abolitionists wero inserted, in thcir absence, without their knowlcdge or consent, on the committccof arrangements. by a loco foco meeting. Thcy did not act with that corninittee in any way whatever, nor did they tnke any part in wclcoming Mr. Van Buren. They would as soon think of doing lionor to the human llesh nionger of Ashland, Monry Clay, as to bis heartlcss. selfish conipntitor. Whcre. thèri, was the "blessed union" spiiken of? Will the Journal ar.swer? 4-stothe the opposition of the ïbolitioiiists to a tarifl', s, lar as refcrence is impbed to ihis paper, the charge is cqually falso. How mean tliis pitiful, narrow-minded po!ii:v looks!
