o,octons in the several States which have so strong
" reprobated the measures Of Mr. Van Buren,, and
nortcuary since the decisive expression Of the pop
MAR feeling in the State of New York, have looked
with much solictude for some change in the tone of
those Van Buren, papers which have heretofore
read with satisfaction, believing that so decided an
expression of the views of the people would not be
disregarded and rihed with by those presses which
have all along protested to be the organs of the De-
mocracy But confess, sir, that have felt morti-
fed and Disguised, on finding that the Globe at
Washington, and nearly all the Van Buren, papers
to which have had access, not excepting the organ
of the party in your county, so far from having
any regard or Difference to the voice of the people,
expressed by such overwhelming jorities, dis
posed to antalize and humbug their readers into the
belief that this great change has been all at once ef'
feoted by the mighty power Of the--BANKs. Think
of H. Mr. Editor: AZ 900 freemen in the sing state
of New York bought up by tho Banks in single
year and more than 900 in 10 or IL other
States, whose annual elections have transpired.-
Mr. Editor, an Independent republican, n free
man OF Vermont, feel insulted, when the presses
of the party have supported attempt thus basely to
deceive me- What kind OF cattle do these editors
think us to be- What are their readers composed
of if they can tamcly submit TO such imposilions.
Napoleon Bonaparte could illuminate his bulletins
assuring the French Nation of victory upon victory
over the Russians, at the worry time his shattered
army was being crushed by the Autocrat, and his
miserable myrmidons were compelled to believe it,
ior there the liberty Of the press crippled and
the people slaves. But do our Van Buren,
editors consider their readers thus degraded, and
when the fact has fully transpired that the ndepcn
dent democracy Of sister States has declared Il.
gainst the policy of Martin Van Buren,, will thew
attempt to the doctrine down our thronts
that tho people have been bribed and corrupted bv
the Banl1' Sir, made of stcrner stuff and
the Democrats of Vermont u will scorn to be thus
hoodwinked and insulted.
No sir, it is not the Banks which have done If

until the reception Of his late message to Congress-
That was the instrument which has Frustrated him
Until that time his friends nobly supported him,
and until the development of his views in the doc

detection in the party. In that message he openly
espoused the doctrines of the Loco Focos. He
threw himself upon the protection of that miserable
faction, and from that time he acnated the afiec-
lions Of his ablest friends and the purcst patriots of
the party. BY proposing his sub treasury scheme
he manifested Willingness to get possession of the
revenue and the entire control of the currency,
while he denod the right of Congress to IegsIatc

OF The country. His doctrine emphacally was that
the duty of the Government was take care of it.
