DIR. IAN BUREN;S LETTER.


We have at length, the pleasure of laying before
readers the Reply Of Mi Van Buren, To that willn wsp
Querist, Master Shcrrod Williams of Kentucky. To
the expression of that excellent gramnlriaa, lie
'done MIR. v Is. great service. We read more
mastery production. The Georgetown Metropolitan
justly pronounces it conc Of the important docu
ments of the present time-and calculated 'lo
else the most important influence on the pending Pres
dental Election. '-Call Van Buren, Il non-cOmmindl
mani We appeal to the people. and ask them if they
ever read more frank, explicit and manly avowai VT his
creed on all The great points which are embraced in Will
liamss letter He declares openly, without the slightest
equ!vocalion against distributing the surplus revenue
among the States as SyStsn niSchcvouS and danger
Gus. Where is the non.rommaat here? He declares
against the distribution of The proceeds Of the public
lands. He declares boldly in favor of the reduction Of
the revenue, and the cut1ilment Of the Tariff as The
only for redundant treasury. He declares, with
out trimming qualification against any National Bank
for specie currency Far ii be obtained by the
constitutional agency of the General Government and
the issuing of large notes through the charters n the
State banks. Where is the nn-conntal in all these
developments: All these opinions are expressed nnt
only fairly and above board but in the most luminous and
admirable In fact we have seen these pow
eu views surpassed cQualed by the many satcs
men who have from time to time drscan!ed upon them
We would scorn TO compare them with Cen Harrison 5
wrctchcd trimming reply to the same quercs-bmL they
shall be hereafter duly c0atrastcd. MIR. Van Buren, dis
plays supcrinrily not only in the talents Of states
man, but the trankness Of man, which should make
the friends Of Gen Harrison blush for the abuse which
they have lavlshed upon bis rival Jhrre is but one
poin, on which we differ with Mr.. Van Buren, in The
national politics of his present letter We against the
practice of appropriaty money TO rivers below the ports
Of entry. Mr. Van Buren, admits that Gen. Jackson
rule is mot free from objections We have always said
so-and The objections irresistible with u.s. that we
shall 20 against it, let whoever be the President,
But, ask the people Of Virginia to read this letter
Let not its length prevent you from reading It, lis ne;
rils will amply reward you for yomr trou5c. We should
like to sec the day. when either White Harrison could
produce such just and mastery visws. Republicans of
Virginia! Martin Van Buren, puts his fate npon the plain
est issue Ii YOU arc f.. sacrificing the Constitution Of
your country any temporary supposed cxfcdcncy; if
you are heart opposed to national bank, vote
against Martin Van Buren, Vote for Harrison! Vote for
The spotted pig. Van Buren, puts his election as man
and politician ought do, upon the issue. He goes,
your Jefferson did, at all times, against the Bank
of the u SITS Uniform and ''uncomprnnlsing oPpo.
