we learn circuitously, but upon unimpcachallc au-
thor';y that Daois Ca,1eal of Campbell county Ken
lucky, in circle Of gentlemen, we believe at Louis
Vile, affirmed that he had letter from Mr. Van
Buren, to Kentucky Member of Congress, stating
that jackson would get "a votes in New York and
aided in Postscript, Italics, that lie ,eould get tho
wso'c if necessary. This Mr.. Carncal is Jack
son Senator of the Kentucky General Assembly
and though the was not mentioned it was not
doubted shat the person to whom MIR. V. B. wrote.
was Cox Il. M. Johnson, Senator from Kentucky in
the Congress ofthe U. States
Whatever Mr.. " Buren, at one time intended. j, is
certain tint no attempt vii; be made to change the
hiSct"rai lIa|" OF New York, and fur, further in
ves;gaton Of the fact ohe existence of such letter
IL supcrtuous. Nevertheless, the truth ought to be
aScortaned for the purpose OF letting the people see
nat dangerous views against their most valuable
rights the Jackson leaders are capable of c,crtn;r
ing, and exposing Mr.. Van Buren, in his trac Naci-
avean Colours IN the people OF New YORK. Such a
letter wa' certainly written, testimony which ut an
other time would have been deemed conclusive is M
longer worthy ofconflence. Wed,avc not tho small
est doubt that such letter was written
II appears from the Massachusetts Journal O. t,,
iG;ii, that hIr. Van Buren, has impressed whether
or not, amy persons with the opinion that
he intended an alteration OF the Electoral Law Drr

After 50 many concurring circumstances from o,1or
tors so many Independent and distinc, is impossible
to doubt that Mr. Van Buren, did mediate change
Of the Electoral law and that he was only driven from
MS purpose ~ the apprehension of popular ee the
eternal loss of his claims upon public confidence

power behind the throne greater than the throne it
