you seem TO tuke il br granted" (says the G.neraN
'iha' have deserted some party and adopted some new
political principles. ID you know Of any political creed
] have adopted in relation to measures Of which you do
not approve, il you do Please to inform me-"
We do truly take it ior granted, Of course, that you
have adopted s'me new creed, aud have deserted the
Wing party. And rs WI, heretofore remarked, General,
we do not conceive that the public require any other
proof Of this fact than that embraced in your letter; but
II further demonstrates, is wanting it will have been
found in our ullusion, to certain facts IN our last. Hence,
II we are correct in thi, position it would be absurd in
deed 10 pretend that youhad not adopted some new prin-
ciple', some new view Of things. We have it from your
own pen that you mainly approve Of the measures Of the
ADMINISTRATION and are an sdmirer Of the administration
candidate for President. MARTIN Van BUREN,
Now, the simple question 10, wa. you always in favor

the ascending Of the Vice President to the Executive
Chair Of the u. States cannot be viewed in any other
light than the advocate aud friend Of the presen, admin.
i',ra,ion, and an adorer Of the New York system OF party
tactics. Therefore, General, you had better give up this
point and admit at once that you have c,trayed yourself
from your early imbibed principles and have found some
ne" system Of government which is more conseuial 10
your feelings, and that you have sbandoued your old
democratic creed and friends. But you continue to dwell
upon 'h', point, ss though you your,elf even suspected
your integrity, aud ask, il We know Of any political creed

account Tor the manifest sb.urlity in any other way than
that something must have recently given sn unfor,unste
