season for the northern boats
In my speech at the Park on the 9th, made the
following general statement which will apply 70 and
cover every declaration made by me in the months Of
July and August last, either on board Of steamboats,
or at the Springs.
In the month Of August last, it was alleged, by
Wing paper at Albany that he had declared sevs
raj occasions, that he would bring ont important
development which would decide the Presidential
election and defeat General Harrison. This article
went the rounds of,he Wing papers, and soon recei-
we'd the addition that he mt. b. ad fixed the 18th
Of October the day when his developers to
be made. Mr.. B. said he had never made any such
declaration and II not until the 18th October
specified that he had been able 10 expap,to his
own mind, the origin of the charges. But he then
recollected, that he had frequently expressed the
bel t in the months Of June July, an the bel inning
Of August, in answer inquiries made ofhim by pc-
Hcai opponents as well o. political friends that Mr.
Van Buren, would be elected, and that the cont ST
would be settled by the 18th Of October. In naming
this date. he had re to the fact, that all the
State elections would be settled by the 18th Of De-
tober. Ia naming this date he had reference to the
fact, that all the State elections would be competed
by that day; and he had most firmly believed, that
the mummery Of log cabins, hard cider, TipPeeanoe
songs, coon skins, &c. &c would, in connection
with other considerations, draw on. so decided an
expression OF public opinion against the Wing can
didate in most Of these elections, as in effect to dis
pose Of the contest
.In some instances he had stated thi. view Of the
subject; IN others, the coarse OF conversation had
not led him to do 500 and he supposed that some ose
OF these remarks not accom- panied with the eNplana-
ton, or IL so accompanied, either misapprchended
or misstatcd by seme who had heard had been
made the basis ofthe articles referred TO. However
that might be, he had never made the declaration
imputed 10 him; and in answer TO many inquiries on
the subject had often said sos and uniformly said
that he had no disclosure or Development TO make.
In the meantime the declaration imputed TO aim con-
tinued TO be referred TO in the Wing prints aad
whenever Mr. b. had appeared as speaker priorto
the 18th October he understood there generally
some suggestions in the Wing journals that he bad
not brought oat hispromised Development. lie had
also been Informed that on the 10 18th instant
osc OF the papers In this city remarked that the 18th
Of October had passed, and Mr.. Buffers disclosure
was not made. in all THE. a much greater import
snce had been assigned to him than he deserved and
when the same journal now ascribcd the recent ois-
closures to his in.tramentaty,, they equally over
rated his agency in the matter"
Until sta'lrscsivea reply to my note to Mr. King
have nothing TO say, except to ask my fellow ctr
zens Of AL parties, TO reflect on the facts have
laid before them. Ii +. BurLsR
