account OF the matter, and think there is something in il.
He says, that the noise made BY the Wings about dctation,
was raised merely because Gen. Jackson, who knew Mr..
v. Buren, we'll, had told some OF his friends in conversation,
that Mr.. Van Buren, was 4 sensible and honest man: and
that this opinion OF the Generals, The Wings were trying
to persuade The people, was sn OrGcr fior the old Hero, to

That as inr cnnirmuing Mir. Van Buren, because re was

selves Iust as foolish as the Wings now hope to find Us,
