To these individuals, Mr.. MoFFAT would

FEVER and AGUE is a complaint which re-

combatted at every stage. Seldom fatal OF
itself, !! reduces the strength, and impairs
the functions of the organs, SO that upon the
manifestation of disease Nature is unable,

and trembling victim of disease, new health,
life and strength.

GIVING 1T UP.

The statement which we published a few days
ago from the Philadelphia Inquirer, that Mr.. Van
Buren, had written a letter, in which he cautioned
his friends not to bet on the Presidential election.
Is said to have been written to a distinguished Off
Ger Of the customs in New York. The Courier
has this sentence-"Now, all Wall street says
that there is letter Of this tenor in town-a let
ter from distinguished iunctionary at the seat Of
Government TO an official in the great commercial
metropolis. An eminent Loco Foco assures us
that letter has been written, as is set forth in
the premises, but not precisely Of the character
which we have given to it. The contents Of the
letter were originally @dvuged, he says, by an
act Of rascaity, which he qualities with an cpl.
thet that we cannot venture to repeat" 1t Ger.
tainly must excite wonder that "rascality" should
be found in party which processes to embrace
within its ranks a monopoly Of the purity Of the
people. But it is no uncommon occurrence,
when fortunes are falling and prospects witber
ing. that those who were ajherents should seek to
pioptae those who live under brighter skies.
Mr.. Van Buren, will find fidelity to him slippery
virtue, now that the power to pension is hourly
diminishing .-.HadiSoaiau.

1t could not have issued it $4,000, 900 OF
Treasury Notes in the spring of this year, Q64O)
nor its 8lO,000,0O0 OF 1899. The wheels Of

A Government without credit is no Govern.
ment at all. 1t is dissolved in the event. The
event itself is the instrument Of its dissolution,
and no other could be formed except on the basis
Of credit.
Can it indeed be true, that Government: seek
ing TO abolish the credit system, is itself at the
same time asking and realizing all its advantages,
by the issue oil its own paper, without dollar
OF specie TO base it upon! That it is issuing this
paper by millions one year after another! We
know it is good; but we ask for consistency, for
the proofs Of sincerity. Or is this Government
prepared to say to the people You shall not
have credit, but ace?" Will they say, it is good
for public, national purposes, but not for pirate
use? But, the Government is compelled to use
credit-hey7 And may it not also be convenient
to us, the people?

comments. The Globe seemed to look upon them
as god send in its war upon Gen. HARRISON, and
oil the other papers in the service Of the admins
tration eagerly seized upon them to be used fer
political effect. Short-lived, however, has been their
career, and still less effect have they had upon the
public mind. 1t was scarcely necessary that the
following correspondence, so honorable to all par
lies, should have been published F; but, as it has
appeared, and as it will relieve Gen. HARRISON from
any cdium which may have been engendered in

have no wish TO see you commit yourself upon
this subject. | believe, sir, that your relations
with Gen. Harrison as well as with Mr.. Van Bu.
rem are of The most friendly character and that
YOU regard them both with feelings OF friendship,
Whilst you disparage neither, | have heard you
speak of both in terms of praise, and feel salts
fed that YOU will answer the questions ask you
in the candor and sincerity of a soldier.
Some letters of yours have been recently pub
lished during your absence from Washington, and
many have cndeayored to produce the impression
that YOU have authorized their publication, and
have thrown your Influence against Gen. Harrison
do not believe that this is So but would like 10
learn from yourself, whether the publication Of
these letters was authorized by you.
Al Tippecanoe you were one of the Aids Of
Poyd, ard performed glorious part in that Of
well ms in other hard fought battles, which have
added TO the fame and honor of our country.
should be pleased to know if on that occasion, OF
atany time during the war, Gen. Harrison showed
any want of bravery and further, if the ground
selected for the encampment OF his troops at Tippe-
canoe was injudciously or improperly chosen
During the war, sir, yop performed most dis
tinguished part, and your name will always be
ussocia ed with its most brilliunt achievements, as
long as there is left American heart to admire
your gallant and glorious defence of Sandusky
You have had as good an opportunity to form Z
correct opinion of the courage and conduct of Gen
Harrison, us any other officer, and should b'
pleased to have your opinion upon these matters
