MIR. VAN BUREN,.

An amiable writer in the Globe thus condoles
with the President and Van Burcn-
81 sympathize most sincerely with the Pres,
dent in this untoward affair, and wish were
present to Offer my confidence i'm person. He
has the satisfaction, however, of free consci-
ence, which his enemies mot possess, and he
is assured of the support and increased affection
of the people.
''It is not possible to imagine any situation more
unpleasant than that of Mr.. Van Buren, when
he receives the Intelligence. In foreign laad,
Just having made an ncqusin nncesw h its leading
characters-cnabe to make them comprehend
the causes, and thus publicly disgraecd before all
Europe, is too mortiying,-too much almost for
human nature to bear. j am sure that should
sink under it
"The cling here, is that of deep unqualified
Indignation. | hope the Injunction of secrecy will
be taken off, that may see who are the per !.
pe,rators of this great act of prescription"
We do suppose tina! tho Hero somewhat dis
comfitod, and that he needs all the condolenc e
his friend can afford linn; but with that "frcc,"
that excellent conscience, of which our writer
speaks, we hope he will survive the shock.
Mr.. Van Buren's condition, when he hears of his
rejection, is naturally conccived it had occurred
to us pretty much his friend in the Globe de.
scribes it. 1t is sufficient through mere COM
miscration, to draw ''iron tears down Pluto's
check" We hardly think of it, without
blubbcrng from sympathy, SO amiablc a man-so
gniltess of using power to injure his political foes
so innocent of "proscrption himselt'-thus to
be disgraced before all Europc-to be rejected nd
prescribed! He who was so tolerant-Cruel Fate.
But, levity apart. What does this writer mean?
Has he the effrontery to appeal to the sympathy
of the American People, in favor of Martin Van
Buren,? OF him, who of all men, living or dead,
best deserved that he should meet this very fate
and who so VIGOROUSLY deserved il that all mon
view it as high act of retributivc justice? What
man did he ever spare, whose prescription might
promote his personal dislike, his party views?
When was his memorable system of party tactics,
relaxed in favor of any man, however faithful,
poor, or old, in the public serviccl Who introdu-
ced the Proscriptivo system, which has ranked
Jackson among the most dctested tyrants who
have plagued mankind, but Martin Van Buren,?
Who has deprived thousand citizens of their of.
| fees, faithfully administered, but he?
Sympathy for him. indeed. With as much pro
prety should the public be called upon to sympa-
thze with Satan, for being scorched in the flames
of his own hell We would have lot him stay
where he was--but not from sympathy.
