Ba t ,* or no Batik: The people will not be easily misled by the numerous false - issues, raiieil by the whigs, to divert their attention from the only material question involvqg in the election of Henry Clay. The wtiigs clamor about a tariff, .and affect great horror about many things which exist only in their imaginations, but their . lips are sealed as to the subject of a 4 -National Bank. If they, can by any conjuration hoodwink and deceive the people, as to their true object in elect ing Henry Clay, they will do it. flattered with the admirable success of their deceptions in 1840, they hope again by dealing with the people in a similarlway, to realize the same result. If the Argus assumes to be the organ of the party in Bradford .County, and is disposed to scout the skulking, sneak ing policy so long tolerated by the Whigs elseWhete, it will come out and stare the true issue A Nenoxar. Ihruc,'on I NO . lisszorisr. Basx,",and let the gees tion be fairly submitted to the people of this :County. Upon , this subject the Ainerican people hav,e been once gross- ly insulted and deceived, and that two, by the same federal party, that is again practicing tricks with them, upon. the Idgitimate basis of its creed, that, the people are neither virtuous or intelligent enough to govern themselves, - This was done in the attempt of Henry Clay, almost on the threshold of the Copgress of 1840, to re-establish the United Satets Bank, which nothing but the vet4re vented. And this too,: eller the whole federal party in the campaingn of 1840 disclaimed any such intention, Henry Clay is . now before ,the people the Champion of that Bank, his elevation restores it s his'defeat mill be their , ver dict against the allied - Bank aristocracy of this country and England. Will the people again set up the inn- age and fa down and worship it fi— Will they consent agaihto pay tribute to the taggrentry ? Will they with their eyes open throw themselves beneath - the it cai, that hag once early crushed in its progress thelop s of the cpuntry, and brought it to th, verge of bankrup• cy.

ABSCONOING TREASURER • „ Gov.. ttrovvn...of bliae,. offers ` a rewar d 82f100 for the apprehension of Rich. and 8.

Col. W. L. Slone, to the N. !. Commercial Advertiiero March sth, again puts a quietus lb this story. • The article is an answer to' •a letter O f to him, requesting his opinion Of the conduct of, Mr: Van Buren du ring the late "war. ,' We give the eonclud ng paragraphs. and- Tice President. is As to the opinions and Condnet of Mr. Van Buren in the early -stages of the.war, we have reason to'know that ,they were not exactly in harmony with the majority of the people , of this, state, even of his own party, at the time'; must for', it ust here be borne in mind, that -a! very decided majority of the represen-! tatives in congress for the state of New • York with Obadiah Germartin the sen ate at their headooteti against 'the de , claratinn, of war. Not, however, that they.held the contest to be unjust, but they believed the country wholly un prepared for war at the time, and con sequently that the declaration was in expedient. Such, probably, were the original views'of Mr. Van Buren--such certainly were the views of Mr. Quin ton: But, the war liaxing been declared, it is due to Mr. Van Buren to say that no public manin the state supported it more thoroughly, heartily and zealous ly, througbora, than he did. Such, we know, is not the received opinion in many parts of the country--especially in the distant states ; and we frequently see attempts making, in the press opr posed to him, to render him unpopular by charging , him with opposition to the war itself, as well as,to Mr. Madison. Bill the charge is untrue. Many of our, politic'al friends will scowl upon us, we know, for our frank ness on this occasion. But'we care not for that. \Justice to all men is our max im, and we wish not to beat even Mr. Van Buren by , falsehood. We have indeed truth etioughnt our command, to do that with.",: THE PRESENT.
