Dear Sir-I have read with feelings OF peculiar

the It'll inst, on the subject Of the Vice Presidency
had already noticed, with no other emotions than
those of contempt and disgust, tho movements nno
declarations TO which you aude--dcsgncd to ere
ate belief that the Presidential Electors nomna,ee
on tho 9th of March last, would ii elected, vote for
| Martin Van Buren, as Vice President | VIII not
believe, tina, any honest and intelligent fend o
Gen. Jackson, be guilt of such gross temeri;y
Should even well grounded suspicion prevail, TN,
such n course would be ultimately pursued by any
portion of the electors ticket thousands 0

from supporting 1t and II he corrupt attempts Il
induce this course are persisted IN to the last ma,

within my own knowledge, that a dcep-laid po
is actually in train Of ma,uration, having Cor II,
object the transfer CT possibe) of part, il not tn

Van Bu.en. The plan is to remain quiet hereatlc

Wilkins then meetings of squads are to be got N
wherever il is possible, end resolutions passed com
