New York, where Ihave had the means
of asceFtalning the public opinion IN rela-
ton to the prospects of Mr. Van Buren til
that State, have been frequently asked for
my opinion upon that absorbing subject.
During my absence, ! travelled near the en-
tire length Of the State-saw and conver-
sed with many respectable and intelligent
individuals of both political parties Oh the
subject Of the approaching election, and
have the satisfaction Of assuring you that
there is no foundation for an honest differ
