But the friends of the rival candidates at length began to bestir themselves and demand that the New York Electors should be chosen by a direct vote of the people, and not by a forestalled Legislature. This demand was vehemently resisted by Martin Van Buren and those who followed his lead, including the leading Democratic politicians and editors of the State, the Albany Argus, Noah's Enquirer, or National advocate, &c. &c.

A specimen or two: In reply to a personal attack by Major Noah, of the Union, he begins, We ought not to notice this old villain again. On another occasion, What a silly old joker this last hard bargain of Tylerism is! On another, Major Noah! Why won't you tell the truth once in a century, for the varietMajor Noah! Why won't you tell the truth once in a century, for the variety of the thing. On another, And it is by such poor drivel as this that the superannuated renegade from all parties and all principles attempts to earn his forced contributions and Official advertisements! Surely his latest purchasers must despise their worn-out tool, and most heartily repent of their hard bargain. Such mild openings as the following are not uncommon: The Journal of Commerce is the most self-complacent and dogmatic of all possible newspapers. The villain who makes th
