ought 10 reeeiue the COUNT ance al those Eh0 hare only
at heart The good Of their country"
This letter breathed the spirit Of patriotism.
Those who are in favor Of moderate measures,
ought to receive the support Of those who
have the good Of their country at heart.
To that invitation Mr.. Van Buren, replied.
From his reply we cite the following:
al concur freely in the views you express In re-
gard to the necessity and propriey Of moderate but
firm measures 10 meet the present crisis In our pub
lie affairs"
"Any measure which shall successfully accom-
plish the objects proposed, and which shall be OF
character to recommend itself 10 moderate men, on
both sides of The question: (he only securities we can
have for It's permanency) will without doubt receive
the appreciation Of the people, and restore the differ
ent sections Of the country TO those relations OF peace
affection, and good fellowship, which are so indis-
pensable to the prosperity and happiness OF each and
alln
In every word Of this we 'concur freely"
and fully. Would to God that Mr.. Van
Buren's practices, as President, corresponded
with his precepts as a candidate. Have the
measures proposed by him and persisted in
been Of a character 10 recommend them 10 the
moderate men on both sides The question? Far
otherwise His leading measures have been
Of the most ultra character; such as have
arrayed against him the whole Of one Of those
parties on one "side Of the questions" and
driven from him the support Of portion Of
those who were with him on the other side !!
Eight, and we believe nine of the indiyi-
duals who signed the invitation to Mr. Van
Buren, above referred to, are now opposed to
Mr.. Van Buren's ultra Sub-treasury scheme.
Two Of them have since assisted as State
electors to elevate Mr.. Van Buren, to the Pre-
sidency. They are the advocates Of mea-
sure, ofa character 10 recommend ifssLfto the
moderate men on both sides. That measure
is the State Bank Deposite system. How
soon would "peace, affection, and good Jel-
io,cship, ,ehieh are so indispensable TO The pros.
perity and happiness Of each and ALL" have
been restored to the country, had Mr.. Van
Buren, abandoned his ultra measure, when he
found it was not acceptable to the people |!
But no; Mr.. Van Buren, has connected his
fate with those who brought the " crisis" upon
the country in 1888, which he remarked,
called for moderate but firm measures" to
meet successfully, for the permanency of
peace. He has put his fate upon caste. and
resolved to stand the hazard of the die. Upon
that he is TO sink or s,ci,n.''
The Madsonian has attacked our accomplished
friend, DR.. Martin, of Washington as the author Of
Tuckahoe; and the terms il employs on the occasion,
were well calculated to provoke his resentment. A
u r. Lo
of NJ, 1--WE presume the Doctor himself,) who de-
MES the authorship, and repels the imputation in
strong and indignant terms. ..4 ..
The above is from the Richmond Enquirer
Of 7th inst. In regard TO the "indignant TERMS"
we will only recall the old proverb: "the sting
Of the reproach IS The truth ofii." We are only
sorry to have given offence to the veteran edl-
tor. IF by exposing the manner, in which tho
reputed author of A Yeoman," obtained
synacwe, and the purposes for which he is re.
tanned in it, we have trod on the corns Of our
respected friend, we fear it will not be the last
time we may "provoke his resentment" We
declare open warfare against g hirelngs' of
the Government in Washington, employing
their time in writing political paragraphs or es-
says for the Globe, or any other journal! for
it always "occurs TO as, that they are think
ing of their bread" and it was deemed by JET
ferson !" inconsistent ,cith the spirit Of The con-
siitution and their duties" What does the
editor of the Enquirer say to this doctrine
Does he repudiate it
The editor Of the Enquirer, we have sup
posed, was friend Of the State Banks. This
accomplished friend" however, in the last
number Of" A Yeoman," went so far in giving
vent to his bitterness and animosity towards
them, that, epen the editor Of The Globe himself
(who, about that period, congratulated the
country that, the dynasty of banks, both great
and small, approached its end,) was obliged to
come forth and apologize for having given
place to his vindictve, violent, and unfounded
statements and Misrepresentation.
The editor said, "a Yeoman' in yester-
days Globe, contains some strong personal
denunciatons which would not have been in
serted, if the pieces had been perused before
publication" "Banks cannot be dispensed
with, except at the sacrifice of all justice in
regard TO contracts made under mixed cur
rency, nor without a violation of the faith
pledged, in the legislation by which they were
established" ..-...
The public can readily judge, what the
character of the article was, that flowed from
the pen of the " accomplished friend of the
Enquirer, which called forth so apologize an
explanation as the above from the editor of the
Globe!
But, let us have specimen of a Yeo-
