both Inclined to think this scheme put lsrh
Ia the official organ ss feeler Of the public pulse,
preparatory To It's intended recommendation By Mr..
Van Buren, in his message al the extra session. Af
Tsnsdge expressed himself decidedly opposed 20 the
scheme. ia which Gov. Marcy most fully concued and
advised him, IL Mr. Van Buren, should recommend a. 10
take his ground openly against u, and assured HIM he
would he sustained IN that position by hun, Gosernor
Marcy aud by the great body Of the party IN this State
that he went TO the extra session--thst Mr. Van

IN accordance with his Judgment, as well rs the
advice OF Governor Marcy. he opposed the measure
cordng to the best Of his ability, bat with the utmost
delcacy aud kindness towards Mr. Van Buren-tha, on
his return from Washington, after the adjournment q

at New York,hst lney eonyersed freely the
Of the extra session--thst Governor Marcy fully APP
proved OF his opposition 10 the Sub Treasury
scheme, and most unequivocsily condemned Mr. Van

MIR Van Buren,, by his policy is running himself, ruin
ing his administration, running the party and II he per-
slsis will ruin the coun,ryand by way Of showing his
ndignalion towards the whole scheme. as well as the
schemers, he added with an oath, land by and by,
when come to make out my message 10 the next
Legislature, they will want 10 endorse the scheme"
Mr. Tallmadgc made the same statement at county
convention Of Unchanged Democrats" at Ithaca The
same week that he made il n Oswego. On the ocea-
sion ut Ithaca he followed by Cen Levi Hubbeil,
the late Adjuiant General Of this Siae-appoined by
Gov Msrcy-one Of his military family, and member
Of his cabinet, who fully endorsed all that MIR Tall.
madge had said in relation TO Gov, Msrrys views on
the Sub Treasury scheme, previous and subsequent
to the extra session.
Mr. Tallnadge made the same statements the Syra-
cuse State Convention. and Gen, Hubbell, who was
| present, again endorsed il In the same manner
The conversations alluded 10 by Mr.. Tallmadge were
neither private nor confidential They were the unre-
served opinions Of Gov Marcy, which he proiesscd to
express openly, is shown by the testimony o Gen.
HubbeIl aud night be shown by cloud oil other wit
nesses
Strpt Of al matter the charge is in sub
stance that Gov Marcy preoious TO the extra session,
advised Mr.. Tallmsdge TO oppose the Sub-Tre'sury
scheme, il Mr. Van Buren, should recommend It, and
atfer the session approved Of Mr. Tamsdge' OBJ
position TO it. and condemned Mr. Van Burens recon-
incubation Of il,
Yet this Is the man, who now uutes III the dehuWla-
lions Of Mr.. Tallmadge, a traitor to the party Tor
doing what he himself recommended him to do, and
which he approved after il was done Arnod's trea-
son was not so vile as Marcy's ueachery. The one,
indeed, betrayed his country but the other betrayed
his country's interests the time he attempted
to be,ray his friend.
II the prevaricatnr article in the Albany Argus is
intended as denial OF the above charge the part Of
Marcy, then we pronounce it abuse Jasehood II II
is not intended denial, then we challenge denial,
snd We will put the brand Of aisehood his forehead,
where shall remain indeible the mark OF Cam
