RENUNCIATIONS. OF VAN BUREN1SM.
 MAKE ROOM FOR OLD GENESEE
 The AttIca Democrat, in giving the following re- nunciations of Van Burensn says of the gentlemen, that they are the bone and sinew of the land and all reside within a circle of four o, five miles; and that as 1t IS in this little agricultural community, so is 1t in our whole country"
 ALEXANDER, Genesee CO.,, N. Y}
 June 9, lS4O. To the Editor ofthe Atiica Democrat:
 The undersigned, former supporters of Gen. Jack. son, and nearly all supporters of Mr. Van Buren, resi- cents of Alexander or its immediate vicinity, feel de- slrous to make through the medium of vonr paper public avowa of our determination to vote for Gen HARRISON, at the next election We have been in- duced to ths course more particularly on account of our former political friends pertinactv in denying that any changes were taking place, Our reasons are manifold. We will content ourselves by giving hut few. The most prominent one R, our opposition to the " "Sub-Treasnry." We thought with our friends in 1884, that it was revolutionary and disorga nzing and we think so still. We then thought with our tai principles of free institutions and we think so still We then thought with onr friends that it !" would bring the public monies more immediately under the control of the executive" and we think so stl and that 1t would of necessity establish tWO renc'es, the better for the officers of the government and the poorer for the people, and that would exer else restrictive control over our State Banks, and reduce the circulating medium and consequently the price of all property and labor, and that it would drive out competition in trade, leaving the capitalist alone to make his own terms and price.
 All these things ana many more were prominent ob jectons to the project with political friends in 1884, and they are the same with us now as then And again. "One Presidential term," was the mot to of our former political friends, and i: is Governmcni, was not to be lost sight of by our old friends, and it is not to be by now. We went with our old friends in trying to establish better cur rency," and if we had ihe contributed to destroy, we might excaim truly, we arc "prosperous and happy" And finally, we are fully of the opinion that the tendency of the policy of the present admns- traitor, is 10 benefit the few at the expense of the ny, and that change might be better, and could not be worse.
