fact as well known as il is stOnishing that
! he cannot point to one solitary measure during
| his whole life, originated by him, for the i'm
| provement of the condition ofhis fellow men.
| Not one proposition to advarre education, to
improve jurisprudence, to incease the public
revenue, to facilitate trade, 4 encourage en-
terprize or to reward labor, vas ever made by
him in the legislature of New York or in the
Congress of the United Statet And in look
ing back upon long life, he tan find it occu-
pied only with petty schemesof political in
trigue for his own selfish purposes.
He was elected to the proficiency, not fol
any merits or virtues of his own, but wholly
in consequence Of having gained the favor OF
Andrew Jackson by means q female in
trigue, by whom he was nominated as his sue
cessor, and was chosen in obedience to the
wishes Of the General.
To accomplish his own saLation he ruined
the political prospects Of Jdhn G. Calhoun
and drove him to acts of DESPERATION little

ed with the deepest political crimes and ar
object of adherence 10 the american people
he formed with him the most mprincipled co
ALITION recorded in history, and received
him into his confidence and bis counsels.
For the purpose of purchasing the supper
of Calhoun and his contemplate faction, Mar
lin Van Buren, consented TO the insertion o
the specie clause in the subtreasury bill, re
quring gold and silver in all payments to thu
Government, by which the currency will b'
diminished; trade and commerce embarrassed
free labor at the north reduced TO the standar,
of slave-labor at the south, industry checke,
and enterprise bafflod. -
The character which his own political friend
at the south give him, "a northern man wit
southern principles while it illustrates hi
, duplicity, is in itself a reproach Which ever
honorable man would spurn.

has prevailed in our country for the last FIT,
