We believe that Mr. Van Buren, is the only
American Statesman VII, has ever attempted open

the struggles OF our domestic parties. This deslen
was too clearly manifested in hs correspondence ms
Secretary of Sia'e, with the court of Great Britain

must calculate on sacrificing the independence OF
his country to crafty lis ambition. The exaspc-
