GeHtlemen-To you and 10 mos, of vour reaJ.
ers II will appear TO attribute TOO great degree Of
I'M ortance TO the address" which cmnnated from
The District Convention, assembled ut Franklin
house, on the 81 Of February last, to bes,ow
upon IL even the attention which may be necessary
70 commute some OF lis erroneous positions and TO
soafu our citizens against those assumptions OF
uherrhg wisdom in their own party, and those de-
hoholallons otthc motives and principles OF Others,
Tor which that production IS more remarkable, than
Tor force OF argument or originality Of idea
o those who look upon the means used by that
party 10 Keep alive all the delusion which has ut

candidate whose moral and political principles
most generally meet their appreciation, W hich the in
stliu'lons OF our forefahers designed should be nf
iofded-io those who are unwilling that there shall
be prescribed line of doctrines drawn by party,
To dcvate from which will be attended with de.
nuncIaon and persecu'ion-to all such it would
seem vain waste of abor 10 deny and TO disproye
the assertions of the Address as the object has

against all who d@re to dtDer with this party and
to advance the interest of that nonparic OF conss-
tency and honesty, Martin Van Buren, by represen.
ting to the people that their Senate is an ambitious
faction and that the object of all who are, or who
have BEEN disapprovers of any act of Gen Jack
son, is the prosration OF the government or the
dissolution of the Union--the orthodox doctrine be-
ing that he who oifends in the least, by breathing
any doubt OF the infalIibillty of the party, must be
dismissed, for the promotion of some one more I'M
scrupulous in his devotion 10 its nteresls-Thc
people are kindly Informed that the only motive
which can possibly prompt opposition to the go.

to re establish that leviathan of corruption and OPP

that all who do not Justify the removal of the depo
sites are the secret friends of that much cxccra'cd
institution 1t is believed Impos that any ndl-
vdual should be sincere in his belief offs unconsti-
tutionalty unless he will sanction every act of in
justice and violence which the excited zeal of It's
enemies may prompt them to commit. The author OF
the address, would have us believe that the general
of the manner IN which the Post Of
