Opinions Van llurrn nnd llurrison.
A short time ago a committee of tho eilir.ens of
Elizabeth City county, Virginia, addressed a let
ter to Mr. Van Buren and one to Gen. Harrison,
asking their opinions on some of the prominent
topics now agitating the public mind. Mr. Van
Buren, who, like all true republicans, i always
willing to let tho people know his principles that
they may vote intelligibly, gave a full, explicit,
and satisfactory answer to all their questions, As
the people have, on several occasions, been made
acquainted with his opinions on the topics era
braced in the first four questions, and as on this
occasion the same opinions are repeated; we shall
content ourselves by laying before our readers the
substance of his answer to the fifth and last ques
tion propounded to him, which relates to Mr.
Poinsett's plan for the organisation of the Militia.
